Every day some one of our blessed neighbors came to see her, and there she sat, by the window facing the road, waiting for them, her crocheted ruffled shawl over her shoulders The neighbors never failed her. When two longs and a short ring sounded, she moved over to the low chair by the sewing machine and took off the receiver It was considered manners not to interrupt the first part of a conversation, for that had to do with the matter at hand, but later it was all right to join in And she did And they were glad to have her.

At that time the farmer usually has only a few hogs on hand, so the cost of treatment is less, and there will be less chance of trouble with the litters To control mange, he says, spray each sow in the herd with benzene hexachloride just before breeding time. Then the affected sows and boars will be free of mange.
