The Pig: Breeding, Rearing, and Marketing

by Sanders Spencer

Here Mr. Wibberley describes specially for the benefit of the small man his system of all-weather farming, capable of doubling or trebling the profits of even the best regulated small dairy farms. In this book he discloses for the first time the whole secret of his success and the success of the many thousands of small dairy farmers who follow him.
