To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The sow produces twice a year, goes with young sixteen weeks, and is probably more prolific than any animal of her size. The number of young at a litter is from seven or eight to eighteen, or even twenty. Indeed, an instance is on record of a sow having THE CHINESE HOG. 407 produced thirty-seven pigs at a litter. The average total num- ber which one may expect, at the first farrowing of twenty sows, has been estimated at one hundred and fifty-five. Owing, how- ever, to the usual practice of w...eaning the pigs when about six weeks old, the sow sometimes produces five litters in two years ; but this is an uncommon occurrence. In the year 1794, no less than three hundred and fifty-five pigs formed the total amount of twenty litters produced by a sow which belonged to Mr. T. Richdale, of Kegworth, Leicestershire. It is advisable, both on account of weather and food, to contrive so that the sow shall farrow in February and August. The young will suck any sow indiscriminately, although it is said that as soon as they are born they run to the parent's teat.
