Southern Pork Raising.
The COMMISSIONS Agriculture Of
Georgia in his excellent Manual on the
Hog, discusses the question cot Southern
Pork in an able manner. While his re-
mHfSHare designed more particularly for
theStaEeof aaoIeia, still they may apply
moresor less toah the Southern: States. /;
The hog is q native of the warm or
more temperate regions of the earth.
All the animals Of the order to. which
the hog belougsare natives of warm cl +
nates, and none are found in modern
: times as far North as the hog. The
elephant, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus
belong to this order. The hog therefore
finds a eongenial home at the South.
In every instance Of decided improve
sment which has resulted in the establish
ment of 8 valuable breed, it has been
: the result Of 9 cross Of the small early
maturing, Southern breeds upon the
: coarse breeds of more Northern climates.
