The Pig: Breeding, Rearing, and Marketing

"The Pig: Breeding, Rearing, and Marketing" by Sanders Spencer is an early 20th-century guide about pig farming that takes you through everything needed to know to raise these animals. Aimed at farmers and students, the book starts by looking at where pigs come from and how different types of soil and weather can change how they grow. The author talks about making breeds better by carefully choosing which pigs to breed together. Instead of just listing facts, the book thinks about the historical ways of raising pigs and sets the stage for talking about different breeds, how to breed them, and how to keep them healthy, giving readers a complete understanding for successful pig farming.
