Synopsis
Excerpt from Swine in America: A Text Book for the Breeder, Feeder and Student
Mr. Coburn occupies a large place in the hearts of American farmers - a place peculiarly his own, for there is ngno other just like him. He has given us other books, but this will, without doubt, be what those who are learned would call his wagman opus, which is simply Latin for greatest work. Since Mr. Coburn writes in good, substantial English, that everybody can understand, this is probably the only Latin that will ap pear in his book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in the early 20th century, is a comprehensive guide to raising pigs in America. Widely recognized as an authority on the subject, it covers swine-related topics from history and comparative anatomy to breeding and care. Despite the considerable time that has passed since its initial release, the book's contents remain highly relevant today. The author's insights into improving swine stock through breeding, feeding, disease prevention, and intelligent management are both timeless and practical. Exploring themes of heredity, nutrition, husbandry, and market trends, the book examines the then-current swine industry from multiple perspectives. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various breeds, the importance of nutrition and environment on growth and development, common diseases and their prevention, and market factors that influence profitability. Emphasizing the importance of raising swine both efficiently and humanely, the book advocates for a common-sense approach to pig farming based on sound principles of animal husbandry. The author believed that by combining scientific knowledge with practical experience, farmers could improve the quality and quantity of pork production while minimizing costs and maximizing profits.
