F errets becoming popular pets
Ferrets are becoming a very
popular pet nowadays. It belongs
to the same family as the mink and
shunk; Mustelids.
The male is known as a hob and
the female is a jill. They average
about 2-6 pounds with the male
usually being larger than the
female.
Ferrets are carnivores but will
eat a wide variety of food.
Most people use dry dog food or
cat food.
Mink feed produced commer
cially can also be used if available
in your area. Their breeding season
is from February to September.
A female should be spayed if she
is not bred because she will remain
in "heat" or estrus until bred.
The prolonged elevated level of
the horomone estrogen has a very
serious affect on a jill leading to
serious complication even death.
You And Your Pet
Both the male and female have
scent glands around their anus
which are expressed or partially
emptied when they stool. Like all
mustelids they have sebaceous or
oil glands all over their body which
give them their distinct musk odor.
Even when descented, spayed,
and neutered their musk smell will
remain, that cannot be removed.
Many owners powder or even
use perfume to cover their musk
smell. Ferrets are very susceptible
to both feline and canine
distemper. They must be vac
cinated against them annually.
There are no approved rabies vac
cine for ferrets. Check with your
local veterinarian for futher infor
mation.
What is shock?
It is a process commonly seen
when the patients blood flow falls
below the critical level needed to
supply oxygen to the body's tissues
and remove waste products used in
cell metabolism.
This is an emergency situation if
not promptly reversed-death is
usually eminent.
What is a spay?
It is the surgical removal of both
the ovaries and uterus from the ab
domen of an animal. This is refer
red to as an ovariohysterectomy.

Pennsylvania pigeons are literal
ly burning bridges behind them.
Apparently, pigeon droppings mix
with rain to form acids potent
enough to eat through steel
girders. According to state bridge
engineer Jerry Jackson, over
several decades the droppings rot
the steel, weakening structures to
the point where a weight limit must
be imposed or the bridges closed
altogether.

1 . Our proposed staff and facilities will have the capability to offer a wide variety of financial services in
cluding checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, IRA accounts, home loans, home im
provement loans, auto loans, credit insurance, safe deposit boxes, etc. Most important will be the
QUALITY of PERSONAL SERVICE. The attraction of a large base of customers is anticipated.
2. Our proposed office facilities will have the most modern equipment available today for the delivery of

the center of Hoke County's business activity.
3. The initial proposed members of the Board of Directors have broad business experience with in-depth
knowledge of the Hoke County market. Their participation in this local business venture, together with
their vast civic and governmental involvement, leaves no doubt as to their commitment to Hoke County.
4.

ing in the savings and loan business.
