Science has come to the aid of the dog by making it incuy lougn tor tne ileas. Because many dogs do have fleas, it was only natural that some Interested persons would attempt to estimate how many fleas would be comfortable, or be resident in the hair of a dog. Not entirely satisfied with an estimate, some folks de vised a cleanine Drocram on a flea-ridden doe. and ruuy counted the pesis re moved from the animal. The procedure Droved so int ing that other does were ex. amlned, the results tabulaledj. mm an average established. It was found, too, that there were varying degress of toler ance In different dogs - that is, how many were necessary before the dog began tn scratch himself. This depend- cd on the individual dog's personality. Some dogs could entertain more fleas than other dogs. Some dogs, like some people, blow their tops sooner than others under the same stimuli. The long-haired dogs, the shepherd and the collie, could harbor as many as 1,000 fleas while the short-haired ones usually played host to a cou pie of hundred. Of course, a large dog could accomodate more than could a small dog. Early in the investigation it was discovered that the "yellow dog" didn't necessar ily have more fleas than a black and white one. Science now knows this, and the dog should know It. But so far, no one has informed the fleas, The flea Is cleverly fitted to live in the hair of a dog, being n a r r o w-bodied and equipped with long, strong legs, perfectly adapted to crawling in and between close- growing hairs. The adult flea pierces the hide of the dog and drinks its fill of blood; it is the only food the little monsters ever eat. The female flea may lay her eggs in the dog's hair, but they fall nut onto the floor, the rug or the davenport. They hatch In a disgust ingly short time. The larvae live on dust, if you can imag ine such a diet, but they de rive enough organic matter to subsist. The very young fleas can coast along for weeks, with out a mouthful of food, and remain dormant. A sudden vibration can wake them up, and start them nn a hunt for a ring of any color. Various methods have been tried to rid the family dog of fleas. Now it looks like solution has been found.
