 Hogs have often been known to for age through the winter in good shape, but they cannot do this and develop in- to high-grade porkers such as are want cd in the market They will use up all the energy that they receive from their feed in developing heat to pro- tect them from the cold. Under such conditions 1t is impossible for them to develop into fine heavy hogs that will command a good price.
 The house shown here is built in the most modern way and is suited particularly to the needs of the man who is raising hogs for profit and not because he thinks there should be

Protect the Oashbosrd.

There are some motor cars in which the cylinder casting is so close to the dashboard that the latter be comes too warm for the comfort of the occupants of the front seat. Con. siderable relief can be obtained by covering the dashboard on the motor side with asbestos, leaving little air space, if possible. between the lining and the dash. Usually it will be un- necessary to cover the whole board, unless the heating b very gJeat.

Tops Up Most of Time.

The one-man top has almost proved itself an anomaly. Most touring cars are now driven most of the time with the top up. The one-man type of con struction which eliminates the forward bows gives all passengers an unob structed view from the car. Because of this tops are now laid only occa sionaily. when the passengers respond to the spirit of a particularly fine day just as formerly they were raised only occasionally as a protectcr against rain or storm.

Public authorities at odessa seem to fear a repetition of the Turkish bom- bardments of last winter, directed by flashlights from the high cliff water front.

Driveway fer Basement Garage.

A great many residences are now built with a basement garage. having an inclined driveway. The shape of this driveway should not be a straight incline. but the grade shoula decrease as it ascends. If the incline is 15 feet long. two-thirds of the ascent should be made in the first half of the drive. The reason for this is that in going out the speed of the engine decreases e the ascent is made, and as the en- zine speed decreases the power deliv- cred to the drive wheel becomes less. Therefore the resistance to ascent should bs decreased as the car goes upward.

Smokeless powder, which has be- come such a necessary factor in mod ern warfare. is of innocent appear. ance. and a small stick of it may be held safely in the hand while it burns with a vivid yellowish flame.

The average person has the idea that the hog is about the toughest an- imal on the farm and needs very lit tie attention. They see him wallow- ing around in the mud and assume .h.. :s he e. stand .ha. he caa stand anything. As a matter of fact, as all men know who have handled hogs, the hog is more susceptible to diseases and more often affected by unsani,ary conditions than any other animal on the farm. The hog looks as though he could stand cold weather in great shape because of the large amount of fat on him and yet he is more likely to be hurt by a draft or exposure than a COW or horse
 The improved hoghouse has helped considerably in eliminating disease and putting the hog-raising business on a better paying basis than ever before. The fact that the hog needs as careful attention during the winter as any other kind of stock has been impressed on farmers more and more, and the result is that winter hoghouses of modern sanitary construction are springing up all over the country.

occupied hitherto a singular posltlon
of disadvantage. They have not had
the same freedom to get credit on their
real estate that others have had VINO

sustained our life they did not in the

Therefore, this bill along with the
very liberal provisions of the federal

Lower Asheville was still flooded today
by the waters of French broad river,
which went over their banks yesterday
morning. sweeping away mills and other
manufacturing plants and a number of
homes. Two deaths occurred in the city
proper while six other persons wer.
drowned at the town of Biltmore. and
two score persons. including members Of
