414 NORFOLK SOCIETY. 



Mr. P. also exhibited their mother, a fine native sow, one year 

 and six months old, worthy of note. Dr. Ayling, of Grantville, 

 entered a noble breeding s-ow, — a cross of the Suffolk and Mid- 

 dlesex, — five years old, with a litter of six pigs five weeks old. 

 His sow was an animal of superior excellence and worth, both 

 as it regards her size and good proportions, and also as an ex- 

 tremely successful breeder ; and had the committee a written 

 statement of facts in season, she would have taken one of the 

 highest premiums. Dr. A. also exhibited a pure Suffolk sow,' 

 one year old. 



The Hon. M. P. Wilder, of Dorchester, exhibited a fat Suf- 

 folk hog, of no ordinary size and beauty, and also three Suffolk 

 pigs, of good size and points, every way worthy of special 

 notice. 



The Hon. B. V. French, of Braintree, favored us with a pure 

 Suffolk sow, with a litter of eleven pigs, five weeks and five 

 days old. This was indeed a fine family, and well worthy the 

 attention of every passer by. The pure Suffolk traits and pe- 

 culiarities seemed more prominent in this family than any 

 other on the ground. As a whole, they were rare specimens 

 of the Suffolk breed. 



A very large Suffolk boar, two years and four months old, 

 owned by Calvin Deane, of Canton, took a conspicuous place 

 at the exhibition. 



Mr. Lyman Kinsley, of Canton, had a superior fat hog, 

 three-quarters Suffolk, thirteen months old, weighing 556 lbs. 

 This was a rare fellow, and no fat hog on the ground sur- 

 passed him. 



Mr. H. L. Stone, of Grantville, also exhibited a fat hog, 

 thirteen months old, three-quarters Suffolk, of superior merit, 

 his age and keeping being taken into due consideration. Mr. 

 S. also offered, for premium, a breeding sow, three-quarters 

 Suffolk, and a litter of her pigs, five in number, seven-eighths 

 Suffolk. They were all fine animals, especially the latter. 

 His Suffolk boar was a good looking animal, and of good 

 parts, but not so active and sprightly as a gentleman of his 

 station should be. 



Mr. Alvin Alden, of Dedham, exhibited two Suffolk pigs, 

 eight and nine months old. They wore large and well pro- 

 portioned, having the Suffolk qualities very well delineated.
