villa Convenience that Every Hog Raiser Should
Make Haste to Adopt.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
like to give to our readers something of value
and of practical help. So will tell you about the
slide gate One of my neighbors came few
mornings ago to mark some shotes. While stand
ing by the wall looking for the hogs to come
up asked him if he had ever carried slops to his
hogs in a bucket and had the hogs knock the
bucket and slosh out the slops on his pants and
shoes, and he said, ''Why, of course, / have"
Just at this point pushed against the wall and
eight feet of it slid away two feet and left my
hog trough clear of hogs at feet. The gate
had carried the hogs beyond the trough and left
it on our side of the fence the slops could be
poured in without any being wasted. Then the
gate was pulled back and the hogs had full play
at it from end to the other. My neighbor
said he was going right home and make him
one, for it would save half his hog feed for this
year.
1 hope you see from what has been said how
this hog-feeding arrangement is made, and that
you will make one at once, for it will you
many dollars this year if you have hogs to feed
and have to go in where they to feed them.
Some farmers have pole lying by to beat the
hogs off while they pour the slop into the trough,
but the majority depend upon kicking them off,
and it is real fun to watch them kick and shout
as the hogs charge around to get to the bucket
as they rush to the trough; and just the bucket
is tilted to turn the ,slop into the trough, the
hogs knock it too far and half the food is lost
on the ground Then the farmer straightens up
with very red face and says-"Suey" or may
be something worse.
