HARRIS ON THE PIG. 



Breeding, Bearing, Management, and Improvement, 



WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS. 



By JOSEPH HARRIS, MORETON FABM, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



This is the only American treatise upon the breeding, rearing, and manage- 

 ment of swine, and is by one thoroughly familiar with the whole subject. The 

 points of the various English and American breeds are thoroughly discussed, 

 and the great advantage of using thorough-bred males clearly shown. The 

 work is equally valuable to the farmer who keeps but a few pigs, and to the 

 breeder on an extensive scale.
