CONCERNING PIGGY
“There is a 'lamentable absence of knowledge on the part of farmers with reference to the breeding, feeding and general management of pigs, and much ignorance as to the type and weight of pig required by the curers. In Denmark and Holland, the princi- i pal pig-breeding countries, there are two breeds only. In England we have . no fewer than 13. The lack of uniformity, due to the excessive number of herds, has . a most hampering effect on the big curers and managers of co-operative factories, in fact, on the trade generally. We are doing what we can to overcome this ignorance by organising educational exhibits and demonstrations at agricultural shows.” —Mr A. Hobson, secretary of the National Pig Breeders’ Association, in the Westminster Gazette.
