FARM AND GARDEN,
Reasonable Suggestions to Cultivators and
Tillers Of the Soil.

White PiKs-Large, Middle and Small Breeds.
Notwithstanding tho superiority of
some Of the black breeds of pigs, and
in spite of the fact that the color, un.
like beauty. is not even "skin-dcep,"
the blackest pigs dressing quite as
white as the whitest, there is, IN this
country. In the Northern States at
least, prejudice against black pigs.
In the Southern States, In localities
where the pigs run ut large, and the
Paiht.r0ot grows, it is black pigs or
none at all. White pigs; il they feed
upon Paint-root (Lachnan.hes the
to'1a), become completely blind, and
their hdofs drop Off, while the black
pigs can cat the plant without appar-
ent injury. This singular fact &C.
counts for the prevalence of black pigs
in many Southern localities. There
are counties in England in which there
ars prejuices against white animals,
and 6thefs in which only black pigs
are tolerated. Willis in the Western
States the prejudice against swine that
are black, IN whole or in part, is rapid
ly Disappearing it remains quite
strong in many of the older States,
where those who keep but few swine,
or who raise the 'family pig" almost
invariably prefer white animals. Not.
withstanding that the black pigs pre-
sent some Of the most striking illus
trations of skillful breeding, and arc
the perfection of form, and Of swinish
beauty. people are prcjudiced against
them by early associations. Their
first knowledge of pigs was gained
from white ones, and in their minds,
white is tho proper color for pigs.
The. number Of s6-called breeds of
white pigs known in England, was Mt
one time very large; q slight Variation.
such as we may expect in a strain,
was given distinctive local name,
and called breed. English breeders
took a long step ia simplifying pig
nomenclature when they grouped pigs
by their colors and sizes, and gave us
large and small breeds of white pigs.
In 1852. we'll known English breeder
exhibited at ono of the important fairs,
several pigs of extraordinary merit,
but too large to be Judged among the
small white breed, and not large
enough for the Large Whites. The
animals we're 80 remarkably fine that
they co'ild not be disqualified. The
Judges met the difficulty by making
third class, calling it the Middle White
breed. Since then, while only tho
large and small black breeds have
been admitted, the white pigs have
three breeds, the Large, Middle and
Small Whife
