First published in 1924, "Pigs - How to Make Them Pay" is a complete guide to keeping and breeding pigs for both pleasure and for profit. Originally designed for those with limited space, this volume contains simple instructions and expert tips intended for amateurs and smallholders with an interest in keeping pigs both indoors and outside. Written in simple, plain language and full of useful illustrations and diagrams, this volume is not to be missed by amateur or prospective pig keepers. Contents include: "The Breeds of Pigs", "Selecting the Stock", "Feeding the Pigs", "The Art of Breeding Pigs", "The Sow and her Litter", "General Management", "Health in the Piggery", "The Prevention and Cure of Swine Fever", "Pig Products: How to Prepare Them", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on pig farming.
