Spencer, S: Pigs, Vol. 5

Excerpt from Pigs, Vol. 5: Breeds and ManagementIn the mode of life and in the quantity and quality Of the food, if continued for several generations, would most pro bably completely alter the character and the style of even a wild pig. If this be granted, then we need not seek further for the causes Of those variations Of type, colour, and feeding capabilities, which are noticeable in the pigs Of different countries, and which have led some persons to imagine that the various breeds of pigs which are so dis similar could not have originated from a common stock.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
