Improved Breed of Swine. 



FOR SA LF at the farm of S.W.Pomeroy in Brighton 

 several young l)oars and sows of an age suitable to 

 produce pigs in the spring. This breed is the result of 

 careful crossing for a course of years, with the improv- 

 ed Lancttsttire (by some called the Wellington) on the 

 Bakewell, Bylield, and Bedford breeds — uniting 

 great length of body, small bone, easy keeping 

 and a disposition to fatten at an early age. Specimens 

 of the breed can be shown that when 10 months old, 

 were estimated to weigh 600 lbs. dressed.
