Hogs A Practical Book For The Pure Bred Swine Breeder And Farmer PDF Download

Excerpt from Forty Years' Experience of a Practical Hog Man: A Practical Book for the Pure Bred Swine Breeder and Farmer; Written From Actual Experience of Forty Years in Successfully Handling a Large Herd of Pure Bred Hogs It has always been our custom to answer all correspond ence promptly, keeping a carbon copy of the reply to every letter. Before typewriters were used, all letters were writ ten with pen and a letter press was used in taking an im pression in the copy book. It is no trouble for us today to turn to any year's business, or to find out if the ques tion is asked, what animal we sold a certain man years ago. Nothing has ever been done on this farm in the matter of breeding but what is on record, therefore we do not depend on our memory for anything connected with the business. What I have learned during these many years is written out in this book, hoping that many a young' man, new in the business, or perhaps older and also of experience, may find some subject that will interest him, and from which he can learn something that will be of use. It is for the benefit of my fellow breeders, feeders and farmers that I have attempted to write this book, and it was with great diffidence that I undertook it, even after urgent solicitation, and I only trust it may meet with the approval of those striving to make a success of the swine business.
