KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS. MOU^AIN. N. C.
This Is The Law
By ROBERT E. LEE I
(For the N. C. Bar Association);
FARM animals |
Mary Sutton took onto'* her!
premises a brood of turkeys she
found on a public road in a mis-1
taken belief that they bel©nf»ed^
to her. She was later notified
that they belonged to John Tay-|
lor. After such notification, she
put them back on the public
road. Taylor was never able to
locate his turkeys. May Taylor
recover from Mary Sutton a
judgment for the value of the
turkeys?
Yes. Mary was not legally ob- ■
ligated to remove the turkeys!
from the dangers of the high-:
way, but once she did so she'
acquired possession of the tur
keys and became what we call
in law a ‘'bailee," and as such
she could not negligently dis-i
pose of the turkeys. The replac
ing of the turkeys on tlie high
way was a negligent act on the
part of Mary,
No one is required to take af
firmative steps to save the per
son or property of another fromi
in jury. Our law does not require I
any one to assume the role of;
the Good Samaritan. But if an;
individual does undertake the;
duty of the Good Samaritan, he
becomes liable for the negligent:
manner in which he carries out,
liis actions. j

Hogs SiiHer From
Hot Weather
..s..Ii.oL‘.sunijnfir tempenaturee can
wreck the best laid plans of pork
producers.
Like rmst animals on the
farm, hogs look for relief vyhen
the temperature, climbs above
the'9f)-dogree mark. But for;the
porker the chances of finding
a cool summer place may be few.
Dr. Robert Behlow, extension
veterinarian at North Carolina
State University, explains that
a liog's normal temperature is a-
round 103 degrees when the pni-
maJ is at rest. Since sweat glands
are located in the lower part of
thier legs, hogs do not lose body
heat readily.
■About three-foprths of the ani
mal’ exces.s body heat is lost
through breathing, air move
ment around the body and radi
ation ofheat from the body.
When the air tempSerature a-
r'.und a hog reaches the 100 de-
grtiis mark, he must breathe 20
times as much air to get the same
cooling effect as in SO-degrea
air Exces.sively .. high relative
humidity also increases the brea
thing rate.
Vl’hen the hog’s body produces
more heat than can be thrown
off. his internal temperature
rises. Heat exhaustion and death
oec'ui' when the temperature
reaches. 10,5 to 106 degrees, unless
i the situation is relieved immedi-
. atelv.
!
I Behiow points out that loggers
j are often necessary in farrowing
liouses and pig parlors to I'educe^
: temperature. When loggers' can
not .;e used n-adily, shade often
provides some relief from exces-
heat.
i I'Y-ed efficienc\' and .growth are
j affected during periods of exces-
I rive heat Hogs consume less feed
; when the lemperature rises above
j the 80-de,gi'ce :r.ark.
I 'Fhe movement of hogs to
I market aNo presents problems
. during sii.mmer months. The
videcinai ian suggests that hogs
!k- loach'd at night or early morn
ing. Since !iea\y loading re.sults
in excessive shrinkage and brui-
ing, hog.s sliould not be crowded.
Proper ventilation should he
Di’ivided in the truck. 'Vents at
ta-' f’ont of the truck and open-
slat sides are recommendad.
