Porkers Fed by Automatic Mother (Sep, 1931)
Porkers Fed by Automatic Mother
FINDING himelf confronted with the task of providing nourishment for a litter of little porkers that had lost their mother, a Glens Falls, New York farmer rigged up an automatic mother which seemed to fill the bill quite satisfactorily. The squeals of hunger were quieted by means of a bottle and siphon arrangement, and now the little pigs suckle contentedly from a nipple, as you can see from the photo below.

Better than a wire mother, at least.
That piglet looks like it was made of white burlap.
Maybe it’s a wire piglet to comfort the keg.
Farmer had to sell the mother pig fast to explain the keg to his wife…
Some pig!
