Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years' Experience of a Practical Hog Man: A Practical Book for the Pure Bred Swine Breeder and Farmer; Written From Actual Experience of Forty Years in Successfully Handling a Large Herd of Pure Bred Hogs Andrew J. Lovejoy is one of the foremost benefactors of American agriculture. His constructive work as a swine breeder, his honesty and ability in public offices which he has accepted in the interest of the common good, his enterprise and contagious enthusiasm as a farmer, his competence and fairness as a judge of pedigreed swine, his simplicity and forcefulness as a speaker and writer upon practical questions relating to animal husbandry and farming, his wise and far-sighted counsel in the management of shows and agricultural organizations, his loyal friendship and good-will for an exceedingly large circle of acquaintances, and his big, warm heart that makes him a welcome and enkindling personality among men, are the outstanding qualities for which he will be long remembered. He has deserved the honor and the success which have come to him. From the role of a stout-hearted notion and dry-goods wagon peddler, upon the long roads of central Illinois in the days of his ambitious youth, he rose steadily and worthily to the dignified position of a farm owner and widely known breeder of pure-bred hogs. As a vendor of goods he specialized in quality. When he became a Swine breeder he held to his business ideals, and sought steadfastly to deliver Swine goods of the highest quality. The annals of the trade testify to his triumphs in this sphere. He is the author of an inspiring, useful and untarnished career, which is still in flower, and his wide and extended experience and unique abilities qualify him for the other kind of authorship which this book creditably represents.
