The accompanying illustration tells
how to feed the hogs without going

secured to the ground by mean Of
strong stakes and is held at one end
against the fence. A spout made OF
four boards extends from the end Of
the trough to the outside and is firm

The feed is poured through the
spout and it gives such force to the
dow that the far end Of the trough

fence to force down the solid matter
that tends to accumulate in the spout
and to empty the water that stands
