They attach 10, and feed on the
blood of dogs, humans as well as
many other animals.
There are two common kinds of
ticks, the American dog tick and
the brown dog tick. Both are
brown, but the American dog tick
has a mottled white shield on its
back. The brown dog tick is a
household pest and cannot survive
our winter outdoors.
To control the American dog
tick, first clean the area of tall

grass and weeds on which the ticks
await their victims. Also treat
bushes 20 to 30 feet on either aide of
paths with either Sevin, Diazmon
or Lindane. The dog should also be
treated with a 5% Sevin dust at
weekly intervals or as needed for
control of either the American dog
tick or the brown.dog tick.
To Check Water Supplies
Water is one of our most im
portant resources, but it should be
checked periodically. Many
families depend on wells for their
water supply. But they pay little
attention to the water unless the
pump fails or the well runs dry.
Your water should be tested
periodically to determine its
quality.
It is important to test water
following any reconstruction or
addition to the water supply or its

distribution system. Then the
system should be checked once a
year for continued safety. Water
supplies should be checked
whenever a disease occurs that
may have been caused by unsafe
drinking water. If water changes
in taste, odor or appearance for no
apparent reason, it should be
tested.
There are many tests and
analyses that can be used. Two of
the most important tests for well
water are nitrates and bacteria.
