About this book
Sheep, Swine, and Poultry covers the history and varieties of these animals, modes of breeding, feeding and management, their respective diseases, and appropriate remedies. The account of the Merino says black wool is still inclined to appear occasionally in the legs and ears.
The discussion of forest land regards hogs as potentially highly beneficial, while warning that abuse is what should be feared. The description of swine in their native state says they seem by no means devoid of natural affections and assemble in mutual defence. The section on caponizing describes capons as male fowls whose reproductive organs have been removed.
