sow and pigs for their kind were beauties ; of the sows and pigs a line litter of 9 

 pigs were shown by John Dudley, the sow only 7 months old, the finest on the 

 around. M. W. Coleman, Henry Belcher and Frank Learned had some fine ones. 

 On the whole the show was creditable, and the old Berkshire can pride herself on 

 making the Largest exhibit. A difference in keeping makes a great difference in 

 the looks of animals. One of England's great poets has well said the proper study 

 of mankind, is man. Of all contrary animals, man is the most contrary. It fol- 

 lows that the study of man is best pursued by flank movement. Anatomists tell us 

 that the internal organization of the swine, bears a near resemblance to mankind, 

 and here we must express our regret that you have not added our friends, (the M. 

 1 >s. ) to your committee, so that we could go to the root of the matter We must 

 therefore confine ourselves to the outward points of resemblance. And now hav- 

 ing tilled the highest office in your gift as committee on swine, which we have 

 •rained regular gradation, we would humbly retire, hoping our successors will so 

 far eclipse us that we never shall be called on again.
