Modern Pig Keeping (Hardcover)

Originally published in 1924 and regularly revised since then, this book is an exhaustive study of the craft of pig-keeping. Full of detailed instructions from a more natural era of farming, this book tels all that you need to now to successfully rear pigs, and is still of great practical use today.
