In one handsome duodecimo volume, extra cloth, or in neat paper cover, price 50 cents.
This work, on a subject comparatively neglected, must prove of much use to farmers, especially in this country, where the Pig is an animal of more importance than elsewhere. No work has hitherto appeared treating fully of the various breeds of swine, their diseases and cure, breeding, fattening, etc., and the preparation of bacon, salt pork, hams, Ac, while the name of the author of "The Horse," "The Cattle Doctor," etc., is sufficient authority for all he may state. To render it more accessible to those whom it particularly interests, the publishers have prepared copies in neat illustrated paper covers, suitable for transmission by mail; and which will be sent through the post-office on the receipt of fifty cents, free of postage.
