Pure Bred Herds. 



Two noted herds of Yorkshire swine were visited in Scotland, those of the Earl of 

 Rosebery, at Dalmeny, and W. B. Wallace, of Broomhouse. These herds, are located 

 near Edinburgh, and a few miles apart. 



The stock, comprising these herds, may be described as the modern type of York- 

 shire, such as have been awarded the best prizes at the Canadian National Exhibition 

 during the past two or three years. The pigs are somewhat higher off the ground 

 than the old type, and have longer heads. Smoothness of shoulder, length of side, and 

 evenness and strength of back are predominating features. A number of Mr. Wallace's 

 pigs were also seen at the Highland and Lancaster Royal Shows, where they won good 

 prizes. In the pens of the Dalmeny herd were a number of exceedingly fine animals 

 being fitted for the Smithfield Exhibition. The brood sows in each herd were an 

 exceedingly good lot, full of vigor and very uniform.
