THE LARGE BLACK 765 



Large Blacks, however, have been widely distributed in other 

 counties and in many foreign countries, including Tasmania, 

 Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Russia, Denmark, Argen- 

 tina, Brazil, Austria, Germany, Chili, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, 

 and the United States. 



The promotion of the Large Black pig in England is under the 

 official direction of the Large Black Pig Society, organized in 1 898 

 at the Smithfield Show in London. This society has a large mem- 

 bership and has published up to 1919 about twenty herdbooks, 

 registering a great number of pigs. In 1911 a National Large 

 Black Pig Association was organized at Lexington, Kentucky, but 

 thus far it has not been active in claiming public attention.
