beginner as a “ check list’ of the problems he is to encounter 
from time to time in his new undertaking. 
The chapter on “ Suggestions to Beginners” is written with 
the special desire to give the right words of counsel to those who 
for the first time are taking up annual breeding of swine. 
The beginner, the professional swine-breeder, the general

in mind while preparing this work. 
The author will be glad to receive criticisms of any parts 
of the book.
