HOGS ARE GREAT
HEAT SUFFERERS

RALEIGH, July 21.-Hogs Go not
.perspire. hence they suffer from
heat more than other animals, says
DR.. c. D. Grinnells, veterinarian of
N. C. State college. This he pointed
out in giving eight hot weather
pointers to help farmers prevent
needless suffering and loss among
livestock during July and August.
DR.. Grinnells said the first prin-
ciple of handling livestock during
not weather is to provide plenty
Of cool, clean water. Second, do
not allow horses to drink until they
cooled off,
Third, be sure that artificial
shade Of some kind if provided il
pasture does not have trees.
Fourth, avoid feeding too much
heat-producing grain, such as corn,
in excessively hot weather.
Fifth, if a horse stops perspiring,
parts excessively, or shows a tend
ency to stagger, stop working him
Immediately and call a veterinar-
ian. These are signs of heat stroke
or sun stroke and may prove fatal.
The sixth pointer is: Wash the
shoulders and necks of horses with
strong salt water at the end of the
days work. Working a horse with
collar sores may ruin a valuable
animal. Seventh, keep horses out
of low pastures during the sleeping
sickness season unless they have
been vaccinated against the dis
ease.
And finally he said that hogs, of
all animals. need plenty of shade

To Get Beauty Treatment

Comanche, the rugged horse
which alone survived the Custer In

receive set of beauty treatments

The horse, feature exhibit in the
Dyche museum at the University of

combined to make the mounted ex-

Abegg said that the mounted steed

which includes stitching Of the
cracked places in the hide and an

Comanche, a veteran horse in the

corded military honors. Later the
animal died and was removed to the

CRACKED WALLS-Often caused
by uneven settling of footings and
foundation. Skimping on footings
in either size or concrete mix is
poor economy.
Where is it wise to cut costs in
your new home and where is it wise
to buy the best? This is problem
that most home builders face more
than once during construction. And
what is the answer? 1t is a prob
lem that every home owner must
settle to the best of his ability with
the help of his contractor and
architect.
Replacement Big Factor
There is one general principle
that can be set down here, how
ever. Briefly, it is this. Any part
of your house that it is not practi-
cal to replace should have the best
in construction and materials. By
this, we mean such items as foot
ings and foundation, timber skele-
ton and frame work, windows and
window frames, which are really
part of the house frame, concealed
ducts and wiring. All these things
must last the life Of the house.
