As a handy, easily made, sanitary trongh, to set in the front of a sow's sty, nothing can be compared to that shown on Figs. 24, 25, 26, and 27. To make it all that is necessary is an ordinary 5-s;allon linseed-oil drum (larger if you wish it), two pieces of 3 in. X 1 in. hardwood battens to fix to the sides, two pieces of 3 in. x 2 in. hardwood for bearers, cut out as at B, and two brackets of 3 in. x 1 in., as shown at XX, seven (7) 1?> in. x ^ in. bolts and nuts, and four 2i in. screws. Call the top side of the drum that with the bung-hole nearest the rim, and mark out lines on each side 2i inches above the centre of its depth. Cut with a sharp chisel along these lines on the sides and up to each rim, and the trough is opened up. Shape the battens to fit against the sides of the drum, the front one projecting 1 inch past the rim at each end. Cut and round these projecting ends to form a 1-inch round pin, to fit into the holes in the brackets XX. When bolting these battens on, take care to have the end bolts pass thiough the rim of the drum. The inside batten is cut S([uare at the ends, and just long enough to fit in between, and fixed with three bolts. Bevel o\i all edges of the battens, so that they will not hold anything when the trough is being cleaned out. The bearers are % inch thick in the centre, so that the trough is that much clear of the floor to allow free flow of the drainage. The swinging flap over the trough shuts the pigs off when cleaning or filling, and is held in position by the sliding bar shown in the centre, and stop pins are at 11 (Fig. 24).
