HAYSEED By UNf ' E SAM Boys and June Bugs Mechanized farming has about abol ished horses and mules from the farms. That change may or may not "be observed by the present younger generation but it is quite noticeable in the eyes of the oldsters. There is another change which might be noticeable to the older peo ple, knd that is the diminishing of June bugs. Maybe that is just an other economy of nature. Why should nature produce June bugs when there is no longer a demand for June bugs. Instead of flying June bugs little boys are interested in flying toy airplanes. A little older they go all out building model planes. There was a time when as little boys we watched the garden and orch ard for the coming of the June bugs. If they were numerous enough we not only selected a nice specimen for our first test but we would store away in our pockets a number of reserves. We would beg our mother for sewing thread and with this we would tie our bug and let it fly. One sport was to let a bug fly over a hen with chicks and keep it just high enough so she could not catch it. If the bug decided to dive bomb while over her it meant catching a new recruit. It has been a long time since we have seen a boy playing with a June bug. We wonder why the little fel lows try to fly a paper plane without a motor when they could find one that has a live, dependable humming motor mit. !***' Ann* I %T* Ktstmg I Dogs, particularly those in kennels, need a little extra care during hot summer months. Parasites of all lands thrive then and precautions should be taken to keep your dog and his quarters free of such pests. Henry P. Davis, sporting dog edi tor of Sports Afield magazine, sug gests a thorough powdering at freq ent intervals with a flea powder con tabling 5 to 10 per cent DDT. Effec tive sprays and dips are also available. The dog’s bedding, if any is used in the summer, should be changed often and should be dusted with flea pow der. Ticks are not only irritating to dogs, but can bring about a weakened con dition that is dangerous to their life. Dogs in tick-infested areas should be sprayed regularly.

Keep your dog away from violent exercise during the hot summer months. A run in the cool hours of early morning or evening is OK, but make it short and be sure not to over do it. If you take him afield during such cool periods, be sure he has ready access to water. And you can cut down on his food during a hot spell. According to competent veterinar ians, summertime clipping is advisable for long-haired dogs for hygienic rea sons, as well as for comfort. The mere mention of clipping is heresy to many fanciers who keep their dogs for bench-show purposes. They prefer to pluck or strip the coat. But if you are not interested in showing your 1 dog, clipping is faster, easier and cheaper. Your vet or pet store has the proper equipment and can do the job for a small fee.
