No. 4.] SWINE BREEDING. 191 



THIRD DAY, 



The meeting was called to order at 10.30 by Secretary 

 Sessions, who said : — 



The topic for this morning is the ' ' Breeding and Feeding 

 of Swine," and it seemed to the committee of arrangements 

 that they needed a chairman who is familiar with the ques- 

 tion and has had experience in connection with it. For that 

 reason they have asked Mr. W. W. Rawson to preside this 

 morning, as he is one of the largest breeders of swine in the 

 State. 



Mr. Rawson took the chair, and said : — 



Gentlemen, the subject to be brought before you this 

 morning is the breeding and feeding of swine. As you well 

 know, the larger portion of the swine that are used here 

 come from the West, and naturally enough your committee 

 would look for a Western man to present the subject. 

 We have with us to-day a gentleman who is one of the 

 largest and most successful breeders of the West. I have 

 the pleasure of introducing to you Mr. Theodore Louis of 

 Wisconsin.
