PROTECT HOGS FROM
COLD AND DAMP,

Many diseases Of hogs are due to
improper care Colds and lung trou-
bic are often contracted by exposure
10 cold, damp and dust. The hog
should have a sheltered place where
he can sleep and be out Of the cold,
damp rains of late winter. The shell
ter need not be expensive. In this
Jmild climate a roof TO keep Off rain
and enclosure on three sides to pre-
vent drafts are sfficient. II one is
in the hog business, however, he will
find 1t profitable to build substantial
portable hog houses.
The interior of the shelter should
be dry, but it should not be dusty, be-
cause dust will cause trouble as well
as colds. A. p. Spencer, district agent
for the University Of Florida Exten-
sion Division, suggests that boards
will be good for roof. If they are
not available and a roof must be pur-
chased, tar paper can be used. This
imalSes a good temporary roof and
can be had for S1.5O to 80 a square.

The most popular method, and the
one recommended by specialists in

This simply means that the products
are packed cold in their fresh and

done in the Jars or containers, after
they are partially or entirely sealed,
making it practically impossible for
bacteria or sports to enter after the
product has once been carefully ster-

method vegetables should first be
blanched in boiling water or live
steam, then quickly dipped into cold

products cut into suitable sized pieces.

the vessel expressed the belief, how
ever that the others had been land
ed at remote places along the shore
or had been carried down stream on
pieces of wreckage. They said IT
would be impossible to ascertain II
any were lost until the passenger lists
had been checked up today.
Among the rescued was r. w.
Beaver, OF Racine, Ohio, who, with his
wife and three other women, was
dragged from the water and taken
to a nearby farm house.
According to a telephone message
received here, Beaver said a life boat
containing about fifteen persons got
away from the packet before she went
down, and was rowed to the Ohio side
OF the river. He is reported as saying
that when the Kanawaha settled q
dozen persons were standing on the
roof in three feet Of water. Whether
any Of these reached the shore is not
known here.
Captain Berry said after the coils
ion the boat was carried down the
river for some distance before 1t sank
It turned over on its side then, he
said and was carried FIVE miles down
further.
There was much excitement when
the accident occurred. The crew
launched the life boats and the rescue
OF passengers continued all the way
from the dam to the point where the
boat turned over.
Captain Berry said when the col
llslon first occurred the passengers
rushed to the upper deck and stayed
OF the boat until they were taken off
The Kanawaha was one Of the longest

er for fifteen years.
