Pigs
do not sweat! Actually the only place they 'sweat' is
out of the top end of their nose! You will see little
tiny droplets of water forming there. To help them keep
cool during those hot summer days you will need a nice
mud hole. Rolling around in the mud hole cools them off
by covering them in cool mud. Plus, caked on mud keeps
insects from getting to their skin.
Did you know where the term 'piggy bank' comes from? The
'Piggy Bank' came about because the smallholder always
invested his wealth in the family pig. It gave him pork,
bacon, sausage and also acted as a refuse bin eating all
the scraps. When asked if he had any money the smallholder
would reply...'No. All my money's in the pig'. When people
stopped keeping pigs they made a replica pig to 'put their
money in'. Hence the practice of saving money in a pig
and the arrival of the 'Piggy Bank'."
