In color they are always a rich jet black ; they are classed with the small breeds, of medium size, sometimes attaining a weight of 400 to 500 pounds. They are a neat, fine hog, with very little offal, and are highly esteemed for marketing young. Their hams and pork are of choice quality and dress white. When fat the carcass is com- posed largely of lard, which is perfectly white and solid.

BERKSHIRE BOAR, OTHELLO*S SAMBO. Berkshire Hogs. We have a stock of remarkably short-snouted pigs, with unusual breadth between the eyes. The illustration given above was accurately drawn from life, of our fine young Berkshire Boar ' Othello's Sambo/ when only seven months old. This boar won the first prize for best Berkshire Boar under one year old—this, too, when he was less than seven months old, He is a worthy desaendant of the grand imported Othello, so celebrated as the sire of the entire Sambo and Sallie families. Our limited space does not allow us to enumerate the many choice ani- ' mals from which we breed and ship to our customers, pigs which unite fine type of form and rare excellence with choicest and most fashionable pedigrees. All of the pigs we ship are descendants from or immediately out of the finest imported sires and dams to be had in England, from such talented breeders as Sir Russell Swanwick, Heber Humphrey, Her Majesty, the 8ueen of England, B. St. John Ackers, Esq., and aptain Arthur Stewart. We give full certified pedigrees to importation, with every pig sold. This favorite breed of hogs is so generally known as to require but a short description. Their hams are celebrated as the finest in the world, the meat being sweet and juicy, with the fat and lean niaely inter- mingled, or marbled. They are of good size and easily fattened, but not attaining as heavy weights as the Chester Whites. They are very free from disease and shift well for themselves. The sows are very prolific breeders and excellent sucklers, having an abundant flow of milk. In color they are black, with white on tips of nose, feet and tail.
