grace TO the sleek berkshires and solid Wo-
burns, and more is required to iattefi well
(if that be POSSIBILITY Of them, than to
fattcn ten Irish grazicrs. Judicious feed.
ers in Ohio have found that hogs OF the
berkshire and woburn breed can be kept
in fine order ut orc cent a head per day ;
and in New York, where feed is more
costly, at two cents.
The woburn hog is q noble animal Of its
kind. 1t attains great size, aud lattens
kindly. Its bone is small, body long and
large, with Il short, light neck and head
But as it requires about three years to at
tain its full growth, it does not fatten SO
easily, nor is the pork considered as good
