Book excerpt: The English Pig is an account of pigs and pig-keeping from the sixteenth century to modern times, concentrating on the domestic, cottage pig, rather than commercial farming. In Victorian England the pig was an integral part of village life: both visible and essential. Living in close proximity to its owners, fed on scraps and the subject of perennial interest, the pig when dead provided the means to repay social and monetary debts as well as excellent meat. While the words associated with the pig, such as 'hoggish', 'swine' and 'pigsty', and phrases like 'greedy as a pig', associate the pig with greed and dirt, this book shows the pig's virtues, intelligence and distinctive character. It is a portrait of one of the most recognisable but least known of farm animals, seen here also in many photographs and other representations. The pig has a modest place in literature from Fielding's pig-keeping Parson Trulliber to Hardy's Jude the Obscure and to Flora Thompson's Lark Rise to Candleford. In modern times, while vanishing from the sight of most people, it has been sentimentalised in children's stories and commercialised in advertisements.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Pigs: The Art of Making Them Pay Since the publication by the author of his larger work The Book of the Pig - over twenty years ago - there have been marked changes in connection with the industry, although the advantages gained by this country have been heavily discounted by the apathy of the majority of the farming com munity, who decline to breed and feed pigs. They appear to prefer to allow the public to obtain their bacon from the foreign producer at a cost of twenty-three millions a year instead of earning this money themselves. The pig pays a handsome profit under good management, and there is no reason Why, if we choose, we could not grow all we require, without importing a pound of bacon, on the produce of our own land. NO branch of the agricultural industry has been a greater failure than this, for it might have saved us from the shortage of meat during the war. The produce of one sow will provide in seven months over two thousand pounds of meat, or twenty times as much as a sheep in the same period, and twice as much as an ox in two years. The modern, and only true, system of feeding on the produce of the farm has been fully discussed, and the reader will find every detail simply and clearly expressed.
