This special re-print edition of Thomas Janes' book "The Manual of the Hog" has not been available to those interested in pig husbandry since its release in 1877. Mr. Janes' 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.
