There are many good breeders of these classes, but it haa 

 been the aim at the Highland Stock Farm to bring the stock to 

 as high a state of perfection as possible. That I have suc-

 fat wether,, and from the Berkshire the fat pig.

 it profitable. 



Early maturity, fine quality, with economy of production, 

 these are the aims.
