PIG SOCIETIES 351 



(a) The National Pig Breeders' Association, incorporated 

 in 1886, with the objects of maintaining the purity and 

 improving the breeds of swine, investigating pedigrees and 

 issuing a Herd Book, supplying reliable information relating 

 to swine, settling questions of difference and of disputes 

 referred by contending parties, holding shows, and offering 

 prizes for swine at leading shows. This body has the three 

 white Yorkshire breeds and the Tamworth breed specially 

 in charge, but receives entries of other breeds, more 

 particularly from members of the Association. 1 



(fr) The Large Black Pig Society, incorporated in 1899, 

 which in 1905 had issued six volumes of its Herd Book ; and 



(c) The British Berkshire Society, with its majority 

 volume published in the same year.
