Discussing this topic. the Rural Car
Gilman says: A friend asked us to sd
wise him what kind of hogs TO grow
lie says he proposes to engage lar &C.
ly in cattle and hog raising, and
would like to have our judgment upon
the breed best suited to his locality
lie has rich pasture lands. and abun.
dant forest range. where the mass is
very heavy.
Experience enables W. to answer
him conciscly on the hog idea. Tbc
most symmetrical and majestic hog
known, is the pure Berkshire. He j..
thoroughly proportional. small bone,
plump hams, small shoulders. and long
sides. lie is nimhle aud active, EGt
takes on flesh rapidly. Hence for
large ranges he is the hog you want.
But like every game animal, the Berk-
shire hog is naturally jealous. cautious.
and almost timid, and hence if given
. large psstursge. he will develop his
disposition to roam, become wild and
useless unless followed after very
carefully and regularly. This is a
serious objection to the Berkshire hog
nowadays.
On the other hand. the Essex bog
is smaller. more gentle. Less Inclined
to roam. but equally industrious, al
ways fat, well knit together, heavier
to his inches than the Berkshire. and,
ell things considered, the best hog for
the Southern farmer that can possibly
be grown in our Judgment.
a cross between these two makes
AZ admirable plantation stock hog.
And if We started With one of each
pure. We would always prefer TO have
the boar pure EsSex, aud the SOW
pure Berkshire.
The Poland Chias are too Iubbesly
and lazy. The Chester Whites sre
too white and tender for this climate.
A black animal is generally preferable
on climatic account, if for no other
reason. And either the Essex OF
Berkshire viii thrive on Less cad give
better s0d more meat fus The same
care than will your "piuey woods
