536 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



In regard to the display of Berkshire swine on exhibition, your committee would 

 report, that their task was a very diflioult one on account of the large display of the 

 very finest bred stock. And if there were any premiums given where they should 

 not have gone, it was on account of your committee not being able to say which was 

 most perfect where all were so near perfection.
