Sea Lions As Mink Feed Seen
The Interior Department said to
day there may be enough Steller’s
sea lions in Alaska waters to sup
port commercial operations for har
vesting them for conversion to ani
mal and fish need.
The department made public a
bulletin summarizing an experi
mental sea lion harvest conducted
by a commercial fishing company
under contract with the Bureau
of Commercial Fisheries.
The harvest yielded more than
200 tons of high-protein ground
meat which was sold as feed to
mink raisers.
THE REPORT said there is a
big demand for high-protein, low
fat meat by fur farms and fish
hatcheries of western and midwest

ern states.
“Possibilities for other uses exist
but these are dependent upon a
stable annual harvest,” the depart
ment said| “Sea lion meat is about
73 per cent water, 5 per cent fat,
and more than 20 per cent protein.”
The harvest was conducted in re
search to control the sea lions be
cause of complaints they wreak
havoc on fishing gear and catches
during harvest time and prey on
fishing stocks.

At Last: A Tablet To Rid Dogs of Fleas, Ticks j
There should be 26,000,000 happy dogs in this country today, for
the end of thousands of years of scratching those pesky pests, flea
and tick, is in sight 1
Veterinary research scientists at Pitman-Moore Company have
developed the first oTal insecticide, a sugar-coated tablet called
Ectoral: dog swallows pul, flea
bites dog, flea dies. Same for the
tick.
Every dog owner is familiar
with these blood-sucking para
sites. But many do not know that
the dog is not their natural habi
tat, just their feeding place. Flea
eggs are deposited in sand,
stuffed furniture, floor cracks
and other out-of-the-way places,
where they hatch. Then the flea
looks for a living host for food.
< A female flea produces some 500
eggs in a lifetime!)
Long-haired dogs have been
known to carry 1,200 active, bit
ing fleas; short-haired dogs as
many as 500. Ticks may appear
singly (usually in the pet’s ear),
or in numbers. To combat these
creatures, Americans spend up
wards of $100 million annually
on sprays, liquids and powders.
These preparations, as any dog
owner knows, have temporary
benefit at best, since it is almost
impossible to maintain an even
firotection over the pet’s body for
ong. Besides, these topical treat
ments are messy.
Unlike the topicals, the oral
Insecticide is clean and easy to
give. Dogs gulp their food, and
the sugar-coated tablet can be
put in a piece of meat Through
regular use of Ectoral, Rover
can be protected from re-infesta
tion as he travels about the
neighborhood and mingles with
other dogs. It is available , only
from a veterinarian.
There are literally hundreds of
varieties of fleas; dogs have their
own, cats have theirs . .. and
there is even one that specializes
{223
in humans. However, most varie
ties will take at least a sample
bite of man. Aside from the dis
comfort they cause, fleas and
ticks carry diseases from dog to
dog, and from animals to man,
such as Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever, tularemia, bubonic plague,
among others.
An interesting sidelight on the
flea is its extraordinary jumping
ability. It is reported that a flea
can jump as high as lYz inches
and a distance of 200 times its
own length. A man with compar
able ability would be able to jump
over a 35-story buildipg. It's no
wonder, then, that these parasitic
pests are able to move from dog
to dog.
If your dog is infested witn
fleas or ticks, have it examined
by a veterinarian to make certain
the parasites have not brought a
disease, or caused a skin infec
tion. He will advise adequate
measures to rid the pet of these
invaders, and to prevent their
returning.

the mouth to mouth method of re
viving a person saved from drown
ing or other causes. He gave the
following pointers in the use of the
method:
1. Place the person in a face-up
position. 2. Open mouth, removing
all matter or false teeth. 3. Raise
the head and place your thumb on
top of chin and fingers under the
chin and raise same so as to give
a good flow or clear passage for
the air to go into the stomach.
5. Watch the chest as the air goes
into the stomach. Keep this method
up at the rate of about 20 times
per minute (that is, breathing air
into the stomach and you getting
fresh air yourself. 6. Keep this up
until help comes—an inhalator or
respirator or until a doctor can be
located.
