A Feeding Trough Gate I have used the gate shown in theaccompanying sketch for ten years, and find that where only a few hogsare raised it is much easier to carefor them.

Incidentally, the use of thisgate saves a lot of cussing when youare feeding the hogs in your Sundaysuit. If the gate is fixed so that it will swing a little past the center ofthe trough, the hogs will not be ableto get their feet in it. This can bedone by bolting a V-shaped piece tothe inside of the trough. I use onlyflat troughs in connection with thesegates, as they save feed and are easyon the feet of the pigs.

The last and largest reasonis that if the hogs are all kept off thefeeding floor until the slop has beenequally distributed in the troughs, itgives the runt of the herd equally asgood a chance to feed as has the larg-est pig. This gate can also be arranged to keep the brood sows outand allow only the pigs to come in tothe troughs by lowering board No. 3, as shown on figure, to the rightheight. The gate A works up and downin the slots between the regular fenceposts C-P and auxiliaries D-X andoperated by the lever B, which can befastened at O with a loop of wi
