James Pearson describes a homemade automatic water trough that keeps pigs from wasting water. The system uses a supply pipe, a stopcock, a balancing rod, and two barrels connected by a pipe to regulate height. A board and water-level wire control the flow, with precautions for piglets and drowning prevention.
