HARRIS ON THE PIE. 
Breeding, Rearing, Management, 
AND 
Improvement. 
With Numerous Illustrations. 
By JOSEPH HARRIS, 
CF MORETON FARM, ROCHESTER, N. T. 
NOTICES BT TITE PRESS. 
say that this work on the pig is by Joseph Harris, 
t genial philosopher-farmer of Rochester, N. Y., who 
tes the “ Walks and Talks upon the Farm ” ju the 
. .griculturist, is to insure for his book at once a large 
circle of delighted readers. He is just the man to lay 
down the gospel for the raising of pigs or any other do¬ 
mestic animal. If all breeders and farmers would follow 
Mr. Harris’s directions, pork would he a very different 
article of food from what it is now, and could be eaten 
without any fears of the trichina. 
[Springfield Republican. 
The author discusses the pig—for he takes exception 
to the word hog as applied to the domesticated animal— 
with a view of showing how the most pork and lard can 
he produced from the smallest amount of feed. He gives 
elaborate descriptions of the different breeds of swine, 
showing the peculiarities of each, and the relative ad¬ 
vantages to the producer.— [Prairie Farmed' (Chicago). 
The pig is doubtless one of the most valuable animals 
that a farmer can raise, and it is the laudable purpose of 
Mr. Harris to tell farmers how to treat their pigs so as to 
get the most profit from them, and what kind of pigs are 
best.— [Daily Evening Traveller (Boston). 
It treats of breeding, rearing, managing, and improv¬ 
ing swine; and what Mr. Harris don’t know on these 
topics, is hardly worth knowing at all. The book is fully 
illustrated, and is very valuable to all who are interested 
in this branch of stock-raising. 
[Lowell (Mass.) Daily Courier. 
The author is a practical farmer, and has gathered the 
results of many experiments besides his own. The book 
is amply illustrated. 
[Republican Statesman (Concord, N. H.). 
Almost everything a farmer wants to know about the 
breeding, keeping, and fattening of pigs, is here put 
down in plain, common sense, and is mainly the result 
of the writer's own management.— [Maine Farmer. 
This is an interesting, valuable, and a much-needed 
Treatise on an important department of rural economy. 
It contains about 5G illustrations of pigs, piggeries, 
troughs, etc. We are heartily glad our old friend Harris 
was persuaded to prepare this useful Manual on the Pig- 
breeds, breeding, feeding, etc., comprising what farmers 
need know respecting this department of husbandry. 
[Boston Cultivator. 
This little book is profusely illustrated, and contains 
information in abundance, which every farmer ought to 
possess— [Weeldy Mail (St. Louis). 
nere is a hook written by a practical farmer, who has 
brought to the aid of his own large experience- and ob¬ 
servation the most extensive acquaintance with the 
science of breeding, and, as might reasonably he ex¬ 
pected, we have from his pen the best book on the Pig 
ever written.— [Western Stock Journal.
