No. 4.] HORSE BREEDING. 121 



Following Mr. Richardson's talk there was a discussion of 

 breeds of swine best adapted for New England, led by Mr. 

 Loyal F. Payne of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. 

 Mr. Payne showed some slides illustrating the principal fat 

 hog and bacon breeds, and explained the leading characteristics 

 of each. A paper was then read by Mr. Edward Daniels of 

 Plainfield, Vermont, on "Breeds of Sheep best adapted to New 

 England Conditions — their Comparative Values and Profit- 

 ableness."
