II rule, the ordinary hog house should

1t is as natural for the hog to want
to wallow as 1t is for the small boy
to scurry to the old swimming hole
with the first breath of spring. Hot
weather is hard on fat animals. the
portly porker included. That is why
well-made, sanitary hog wallow is
like Coney island bathing beach for
the hogs. A popular and serviceable
type of wallow advocated by the United
States department of agriculture
should be made of concrete about II
inches in depth and large enough to
accommodate the herd of hogs. The
wallow should be supplied with n
satisfactory intake and outlet so that
it can be filled about two-thirds full
of water and drained every few days,
or as often rs is necessary to keep the
pool fresh and cleanly.
Face Two Extremes.
The hog grower in many of the lead
ing pork producing statss faces two
temperature extremes during the year.
During the winter. unless he provides
comfortable houses and warm quar-
ters, his hogs are likely to suffer from
the cold, while in the summer sea-
son he must handle the animals under
conditions of extreme heat. Any
animal as fat as the average hog
which is to be marketed In the late
summer or early fall suffers greatly
during hot weather, and unfortunately
many hog farmers neglect TO provide
shelter and protection for their hogs
from the extreme heat. During hot
weather hogs need plenty of shade
natural shade such as is furnished by
trees and bushes being the best.
Temporary Shelter.
Where natural shade and shelter
are not available, the hog owner
should put up a temporary shelter by

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
PARTIES IN COUNTY

Nothing helps quite so much to
establish general good feeling in a
community as working and playing
together does,' Miss Mary A. Brady,
home demonstration agent, says
This is being demonstrated by the
various WOmen's Clubs of the county.
Just now several of them are making
plans to have big community parties
during the holiday season.
Some of these parties will be held
in homes and some in school houses,
and to them will be invited the fam
lilies of the club members and their
friends. There will be community
Christmas trees. programs prepared
by the grOWn-ups and little folks
working together, and plenty of good
+h ngs 20 eat, which same always
plays an important part in any such
gathering.
Last Year
Several of the clubs had Christmas
nartiee last year and they were quite
enthusiastic over the results. Il
means more than money value to get
to know your neighbOrs and to learn
what good folks they are. AS Edgar
Guest says:
when you get to know a fellow.
know his every mood and whim,
You begin to understand him and
YOU cease to scoff and sneer,
For with understanding always pre-
judices disappear,
You begin to find his virtues and
his faults you cease to tell,
For you seldom hate a fellow if you
know him very we'll"
"This is just what these community
parties are doing; helping us to know
our neighborS in the incest sort of
way. Let us have more of them
They are good for every community
and we can't have too many"

Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce has

that the several counties have in ad-

KneIt and Prayed
To the amazement of Mr. Zimmer-
man, the mother and three boys then
knelt and solemnly prayed their
thankfulness together for almost a
half hour. The incident proved a
revelation not only to Mr.. thinner
man but to others who have been in
terested in the movement. What finer
tribute could be paid to any institution
than the moving of the souls of a
mother and her three sons to pray
their appreciation for a half hour un-

streamed down the mothers face as
she knelt there on the floor of Mr..
Zimmermans office, and Mr.. thinner
man is not averse to admitting that he
also was touched to that extent.
No Name Given
No name was given then, nor is it
now known who the lady with the
three sons was, to whom the Boy
