Don’t Poor Cold Water on a Hot Hog’s Back or Head.

Fowler Republican-Leader. Dick Haley was in hard luck Tuesday. He loaded five hogs in his wagon north of town early in the morning, and when he reached Fowler all were dead. Fletcher Smith, who has reasoned with a hog on numerous occasions, hands down the opinion that cold water should never be poured on a hot hog’s back, or on his head. The proper way is to pour the water bo the hog can “waller" in it. The wagon box should have a shade, but should not be a tight box.
