Period
1930's +
Canada
Used by Canadian orchardist Indell Waddell on Covey Hill, in Quebec's Eastern townships, sometime during the 1930’s. As was the instance with many farmers in the early 20th century Mr. Waddell kept some livestock to supply the family dinner table. Meat from hogs that have fed on windfall apples has been known for many years to have a great taste, the best-known example being the Tamworth breed from Britain.
Function
Box used to transport swine. Primarily used to move sows to other farms so that they could be bred with boars.
Technical
Before the onset of artificial insemination, if a farmer wanted his sow to become pregnant, he took her to be bred at a farm with a boar. The crate was designed to be just large enough to hold the sow but not so large that she could move around and hurt herself or damage the crate. The crate was also equipped with ‘pockets’ into which poles could be placed so four people could lift the crate and sow on and off a wagon.
