A drawing illustrates a new hog feeding method on an Iowa farm. An iron tank sits at one end of a concrete watering trough and is filled from the trough pipe. Ground feeds are mixed in the tank with water to form a slurry, then the valve opens to fill one trough and swings to the other for the next fill. The process repeats as valves alternate between troughs.
