NEW RATION FEEDER FOR PIGS . t- / WEEK’S SUPPLY CSAN 3E REGULATED. In a recent issue of the Agricultural Gazette, England, from which the above illustration and details jure taken, it is stated that a new and effective contrivance for rationing pigs with dry food has been devised by Captain A. E. Angier and Mr S.- B_.'> Hart. A central hopper, capable of holding 3ewt. of food, is placed ceaitrallv above a double row of troughs closed by flap lids. In the standard) size there are four troughs aside. The hopper has converging sides, closed; at the bottom by a, force-feed board, fliis is controlled from the end of the feeder by means of an iron hand lever. One movement of the lever feeds down '2lb. of any average meal mixture—Jib. into.’ each separate trough. Thus it is possible to force out any desired quantity of food by simply moving the lever as many times as necessary. If eight pigs are being fed-Gib. of meal a day, it is only necessary to fill the feeder once a weelt, and visit it twice a day to measure out the food. Twelve turns of tine lever will measure out 241 b. of food, half the day*s rations for the eight* pigs, after which no more can get clown to the troughs till the next meal is given, the lever being locked in place and the feed board tightly closing dhe apertures. The feeder is very solidly constructed and is weatherproof, while the possibility of clogging is obviated by the forced feed.
