You guys raise some pampered hogs. 65 or so years ago my parents raised 2 hogs as part of the survival scheme for poor folks. Most of our neighbors also raised hogs for the same reason. Table scraps were fed to the hogs. A few years before that, just before I was born, there was no electricity available, so leftover food spoiled quicker and there fore was fed to hogs. Often we had wheat ground to feed to the hogs. I don't remember having corn ground, but often ear corn was fed to the hogs. People kept a slop bucket into which was table scraps was added and it was fed to the hogs. Excess raw vegetables, like turnips were given to the hogs. We had a huge white oak tree and in the fall leaves and acorns were raked up and put in the hog pen. The hogs could sort out the acorns and use the leaves for bedding. I don't remember the time the hogs were fed before slaughter, after cold weather came. Lard was canned along with sausage. Mama had a bed of sage which was gathered and dried. Along with red pepper it made good sausage seasoning. Daddy liked hot sausage. Don't remember the exact recipe for curing hams, but they sure were good.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
