Porkers Need Shade and Cool Water in Hot Season, IAS (B j W. LINN, Extension Dairy- While there Is nothing esthetic about a hog wallow, there is satisfaction for the hogs and protection for their owner. In hot weather the hog, more than most other animals, Is liable to overheating, likely to be attended by very high mortality. Plenty of shade and cool water, together with freedom from any disturbance, are preventatives against this source of losses In the hog lot. On the John Brown farm near Ohio, there is a hog wallow of concrete which pretty well suits the Ideas of J. W. Wulchet, animal husbandry specialist at Ohio State university, as to what a lmg wallow should be. About 23 feet square, the sides of the wallow slope very gradually toward a drain in the center. In one corner there Is an automatic drinking fountain, the overflow from which runs directly Into the pool. Over the wallow, there Is a roof supported on posts. All four sides ate open. The capacity of the wallow Is highly elastic, since every hog which grunts his way Into the water, displaces his own volume In water and raises the level of the pool. The more ' hogs In the pool, the more water. The sutface of the water In the pool carries a floating film of crude oil which keeps dovvn insert pests on the hogs and also checks mange among them. man, K. 3 A. C ) The she is half the herd!
