slate because it carried rather higher style
and finer points with it, superior quality
Of flesh, softer hair and thinner skin. In
fact, to use a just and expressive phrase, the
animals thus marked seemed higher bred.
8. Size Of the Berkshire in the year lS41.
The live weight of good full grown, well
iatted animals, at that time, varied from about
400 to 600 lbs; in few extreme instances,
reaching to 700 or 800 pounds. The first
two weights above, are about the average Of
the present day.
10. Earliest Importation Of Berkshire
Swine into america. Tho first importa-
tion of which we can find any record, was
made in the year 1928, by Mr.. Breutnall,
an English farmer who settled in Eng
lish N9ighborhood New Jersey. The sec
ond was made in 1882 by M. Harves,
another English farmer who lived in Albany,
N. Y. and others in the United States aud
Canada, too numerous to mention, soon R,.
lowed with larger importations. All these
Berkshires were substantially the samh in
size, quality, style and marking as the beSt Of
the present day.

A PLEA FOR THE FORESTS.
BY j. c. KENNEDY, OF TROY.

No people.ha ever exceled the Ameri-
cans in boldness of enterprise and active in
