Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, the first of James Robertson’s sagas about agriculture and country life, demonstrates that the young and inexperienced Robertson was even more prone to disaster than the older and still inexperienced Robertson. His pigs bit him, gave him lice, crawled up to his bed and indicated that man is not necessarily the dominant species. How do you communicate the facts of life to an innocent young boar? Persuade a sow not to eat her young? Survive an investigation by the Inland Revenue? Stay out of jail when your newly insured barn goes up in smoke? Any Fool Can be a Pig Farmer shows the other side of the rural idyll. It is painful, real and very funny.

Download or read book Pigs Poultry and Poo written by Jason Gibbs and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigs, Poultry and Poo is the story of two people who change their lives and discover a whole new world. Their first step is a move from living and working in the city to rural life and a two-hour commute. Over the five years recounted in the book they mature from feckless beginners to hardened country folk, shedding only the occasional tear when an animal dies. Their animal adventures start with a cat, before they move on to goats, and then chickens. Slowly building confidence they haphazardly add cows, pigs, alpacas, geese and ducks to their smallholding, before reaching a limit. On their journey they discover that cats like to sleep, that goats are poor predictors of the weather and that there is a serious possibility that a cow could jump over the moon. They pick up new skills, such as fencing, which they get to practise again and again as various animals helpfully demonstrate where they have gone wrong. There is occasionally the semblance of a plan, but often events overtake the couple and they have to learn to be resilient in the face of adversity. The animals have plenty of character, from the nervous goat and the grumpy cow to the randy pig. Looking after animals is often not easy, but at least for one newly countrified pair, it's deeply satisfying.

Download or read book A Pig Called Alice written by Paul Heiney and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'To call Alice "just another pig" would be the gravest insult.' Alice the Large Black pig was Paul Heiney's best friend, his confidante and his therapist. This is the story of their tempestuous relationship with all its ups-and-downs, from her arrival as a 'large, black and expensive' Christmas present for his wife to her last days as the matriarch of his traditional farm. In A Pig Called Alice, Heiney walks us through why lop-eared pigs are the best to raise (they can't see you coming), how to escape a sow that's decided you're her next mate (throw a bucket and run), and how, actually, pigs might have just got this whole 'life' situation sorted out.

Download or read book A Crust of Bread written by S. Earl Wilson III and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since man has been placed on earth’s surface, he has had to struggle to better his conditions and to survive. Some accept their fate, others cry, and a chosen few fight to make right that which they perceive as wrong. Between 1870 and 1910, most of the black people in the United States were illiterate and systematically deprived of an education. It is against this background that Moses Leroy Davis, the son of a black Mississippi sharecropper, was provoked into action to alleviate the conditions of his people by extirpating ignorance and substituting the obsolete status quo with actions superseding somnolence. Throughout this difficult and seemingly impossible task, his wealthy, aristocratic white friend, Johnathan “Little John” Smith, assists him in overcoming his adversaries. The state of Mississippi has produced many writers such as the following: Richard Wright William Faulkner John Grisham Lerone Bennet Jr. Tennessee Williams Shelby Foote Eudora Welty Sam Wilson is just another writer from Hattiesburg. As you shall see, his style is different.
