However. traditions. or at least those

worthy OF consideration in arriving

The shooting occurred at the home

entered the abdomen of Lollar, inflict-
Ing a terrible wound. Odum sustained
a pistol wound in the left leg. His In.

The trouble between the two men is
said to have arose from a dispute over
a business matter. Odum was q ten

was making preparations to move
away while still financially obligated
to his landlord. Lollar went to Odum's
house to adjust the matter, where, it

on the farms of Mississippi.
According to DR.. Ranck, there is no,
a day in the year when the hogs can.
not be comforta Bile in this house. In
winter, the sides are let down, and a
warm. dry place is provided. In sum
mer, the side doors are opened and a
shed formed under which the hog can
find a shady spot and a breeze at all
times OF the day. To insure sanitation
the house is so built that, when the
sides are raised, the sunshine strikes
every part of the floors and walls at
some time each day.
Many farmers are finding these
houses practicable for narrowing time.
when every SOW needs a separate
house. Straw placed in the house will
induce the SOW to make her bed there.
Guard ratings are placed around the
sides so that the little pigs. escape
being crushed by the SOW as she lies
down.
On most farms these houses can be
built from leftover lumber. If bought
new, the materials cost only about
nine dollars. Blue prints showing ex-
act measurements for building the
Mississippi Hog House will be furnish
