The hog farmer usually numbers each litter sequentially throughout the year. In each litter, each piglet receives an individual number. For example, a litter number of 76 indicates the seventy-sixth litter born during the farrowing season. If nine piglets are in the litter, they are assigned an individual number from 1 to 9. By convention the litter number is placed in the right ear, and the individual piglet number is placed in the left ear... 2, record 1, English, - litter%20number

When the weather turned cold and it was hog slaughtering time, the farmer filled his huge iron vats with water and brought it to a boil by lighting a fire under them. After the hog had been gutted it was lowered into the boiling water to scald off its bristles. Then a hog scraper was used to remove the rest of the bristles. Candlesticks shaped like this tool get their name from the hog scraper. 1, record 4, English, - hog%20scraper%20candlestick
