Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, U. S.A-. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION In presenting this revised edition of Productive Swine Husbandry to the public, the author wishes to express his ap- preciation of the reception accorded the first edition, for which the demand has exceeded expectations. In the revision, new material has been added for the purpose of widening the scope of the book and making the text more gen- erally applicable to all latitudes. Certain faults of the origi- nal book have been corrected, and important , additions have been made to the illustrations. In short, an effort has been made to bring the book up to date, and to make it a suitable text- book for agricultural students as well as a convenient and valu- able reference book for the busy farmer. The author wishes to gratefully acknowledge the assistance rendered him by Professor K. C. Davis, the editor of the book, and also by Professor C. L. Willoughby of the University of Florida, who has furnished many pertinent suggestions in con- nection with the revision. Geoege E. Day. Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. PREFACE In the preparation of material for this book, the author has worked with a twofold purpose,—namely, to prepare a book which will serve as a text-book for agricultural students, and to place at the disposal of the busy farmer a reference book which will give him, in concise form, the findings of the best experiment stations in regard to the problems involved in the successful handling of swine. As to whether these objects have been attained, the public must be the judge. In the treatment of the different breeds of swine, and other topics where favoritism or partiality is possible, it has been the purpose of the writer to state the exact truth and give " both sides of the case." Where direct comparisons are ad- vantageous, they have been made without fear of criticism. Although the treatment of each topic is concise, it has been the desire to make the survey of the field as cosmo- politan as possible,—^no single section of the country has been in the writer's mind. 'No effort has been made to avoid the practical sides of the subject in order that a certain type of schools might prefer the book. On the other hand, the practical sides have been placed foremost, with the belief that all students as well as breeders should prefer to think of the subject in a practical way. An effort has been made, however, to treat the matter concisely and logically, and arrange the topics in order. The chapters have been grouped into seven parts to make them more easily referred to by both students and breeders. The review questions at the end of each chapter are given for the use of students who may not be thinking of the sub- Viii PREFACE ject from the practical side. They may also be used by the beginner as a " check list " of the problems he is to encounter from time to time in his new undertaking. The chapter on " Suggestions to Beginners " is written wdth the special desire to give the right words of counsel to those who for the first time are taking up annual breeding of swine. The beginner, the professional swine^breeder, the general fanner with a small herd, and the student have all been kept in mind while preparing this work. The author will be glad to receive criticisms of any parts of the book. George E. Day. Ontahio Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. CONTENTS PART I.—INTRODUCTORY CBAPTEB PAflE I.

    National Character 111: Northern Thames Basin Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 111: Northern Thames Basin Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

Comparisons of feed and feed­ ing results have been furnished, for the most part, by the South Dakota Experiment Station. Professor Turner Wright of the Animal Husbandry Department, South Dakota State College, is mentioned especially for his contributions in this field. Where any field of hog production was not adequately covered, work of other Stations was used. An effort has been made to present the substance of the material of the various experiments in simple form, without tedious details. This circular is not complete in the presentation of some fields and those desiring more detailed information are urged to refer to bulletins, cir­ culars and books listed elsewhere in this publication.

    The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925 By Theodore James Varno A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor John E. Lesch, Chair Professor Cathryn L. Carson Professor Stephen E. Glickman Fall 2011 The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925 © 2011 By Theodore James Varno 1 Abstract The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925 By Theodore James Varno Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor John E. Lesch, Chair Historians of science have long recognized that agricultural institutions helped shape the first generation of geneticists, but the importance of academic biology to scientific agriculture has remained largely unexplored. This dissertation charts the relationship between evolutionary thought and industrial agriculture from Charles Darwin’s research program of the nineteenth century through the development of professional genetics in the first quarter of the twentieth century. It does this by focusing on a single topic that was important simultaneously to evolutionary thinkers as a conceptual challenge and to agriculturalists as a technique for modifying organism populations: the intensive inbreeding of livestock and crops. Chapter One traces zoological inbreeding and botanical self-fertilization in Darwin’s research from his articles published in The gardeners’ chronicle in the 1840s and 1850s through his The effects of cross and self fertilisation in the vegetable kingdom of 1876.
