Böcker av Ken Bolton

This antique book contains a detailed guide to keeping pigs outdoors, offering its readers all the information necessary for keeping pigs in this fashion. The methods described have worked well on the author's own farm, and will be of considerable value for the modern farmer looking to start keeping pigs - or to improve their existing pig farms. The chapters of this book include: 'Why Out-of-Doors?', 'Housing Hints and Ideas', 'Management of the In-Pig Sow', 'The Steaming-Up Question', 'Trouble-Free Farrowing', 'Sow and Litter ¿ From Birth to Weaning', 'All-The-Year-Round Grazing', 'The Electric-Fence Technique', 'Weighing and Recording', etcetera. This volume was originally published in 1954, and we are proud to republish it now, complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on pig farming.

"beautiful and sharp, critical and concise observations... gestures towards a neglected conversation between poetry and cultural studies in Australia." -Tim Wright, Cordite

A gay, light-hearted type, Ken Bolton cuts a moodily romantic figure within the dun Australian literary landscape, his name inevitably conjuring perhaps that best known image of him, bow-tie askew, lipstick-smudged, grinning cheerfully, at the wheel of his 1958 Jaguar D-type, El Cid.
