Baby Bottles Feed Young Porkers (Apr, 1931)
Baby Bottles Feed Young Porkers
WHEN a family of his young porkers were orphaned at the age of two days, John Vincent, a farmer of Wayne, Michigan, constructed a novel feeding trough to supply the pigs with milk. The bottles were arranged on a board as shown below.
This could come in handy in a daycare centre.
We’d often have up to half a dozen bottle lambs at a time on my parents’ farm when I was young. After years of struggling to hold 4 or 5 bottles at once, while fending off another hungry lamb or two, we did finally build something like this.
I suggest the caption: “Your Congress at work.”
