ESSEX BOAR AND SOW. This engraving, sketched by Burk from the herd of W. J. Neely,Ottawa, 111., who has maintained for many years a herd of purely-bred Essex swine, is a good illustration of typical animals of thebreed. For description and history see page 460. (472)
Text Appearing After Image:
SUFFOLK, CHESTER WHITE, AND SMALL YORKSHIRE SWINE. The white breeds are very fairly typified in the engraving on theopposite page. In the center are shown a pair of Chester Whites,the largest of our white breeds; on the left is a pair of Suffolks,which in everything except color might well pass for typical Berk-shires; and on the right are a pair of Small Yorkshires. The char-acteristics of these several breeds are described on pages 456, 457and 459 of this volume. (-174)
