Hogs Ripened
His Whisky
Old Pennsylvania
Knew the Benefit of
Advertising.


The way the thing operated was sim
pie enough. The hogs were out in the
yard nosing around. when they heard
the splash of the feed as it was put in
the trough. Naturally, as the weight
came first on the side farthest from the
trough, that side of the floor tilted
down under the swine's weight. When
they all got over to the trough that
side, in turn, went down. And so the
plank floor was rocked back and forth
every time hog went in or out.
Connected with this swinging plat
form was another one which received
equivalent motion, of course, through
the medium of long lever. On this
second platform were set the casks OF
whisky which were to undergo the rip
ening process. Of course, every time
the lower floor rocked, so did the up
per likewise, and the whisky was
shaken around with every motion.
Naturally, Uncle Billy's hogs were
fatter than anybody else's, because
they were fed so much oftener. Part
of the ripening depended on feeding
the hogs, so as to make them rush in
through the open door and thus shake
the platforms.
