EXPERIMENT OF 1908. 



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 Yorkshire, 

 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.
