This special re-print edition of Sanders Spencer's book "Pigs: Breeds and Managementwith a chapter on diseases of the pig by Professor J. Wortley Axe and a chapter on bacon and ham curing by L. M. Douglas" has not been available to those interested in pig husbandry since its release in 1897. Mr. Spencer's famous work on pigs and swine husbandry includes basic details on raising hogs, as well as insight into breeds of swine, field butchering and salting and packing hams, bacon and other pork products. Pigs: Breeds and Management will shed considerable light on how domestic pigs were raised in the 19th century.
