true Berkshire is docile, short-legged, sound in the loins ; ears thin, 

 small and erect ; straight back, of uniform width from shoulder to ham , 

 very full and deep in the ham and shoulder ; face short, fine and well 

 dished, broad between the eyes, which are large, bright and intelli- 

 gent ; color black with white on feet, face and tip of tail. With the 

 merits which this breed possesses, it is no wonder that where they are 

 best known the}' are deservedly popular.

A. B. Howard, Chairman.
