How 10 Feed Pigs and Fool the Hogs
When on visit to the County Grange
of DeSoto, we stopped with our good
brother Tonnahiil. Secretary Of Loves
Grange. Among other useful and val val,
uable information gained on that occa-
sion was, chow to feed pigs and fool
big hogs and sows." Brother Tonna-
Hill has a little son eight years old
whose business it is to attend to the
small pigs. To Keep the large hogs
from driving the pigs of, or hurting
them, he has taught the pigs to come
to the sound Of a small dinner bell; the
moment the bell rings you can see them
running in from all directions to the
sound Of the bell. they,are then fed and
90 about their business. The old hogs
not knowing the sound are ''left out in
the cold. = This plan enables the man
ly little fellow to feed his pigs without
the annoyance Of the older hogs. ,san
