Refpe&ing the produce of the above fow, 

 it proves that when a fow is brimmed by one 

 boar, if you fend her to another, me will in aM 

 probability have more pigs* This fow had 

 twelve pigs, ten long-eared white ones, and 

 two tunky black ones. The fow was white 

 and long-eared i the boar the fame. The 

 tunky boar was black. A man who has but 

 one fow, and is defirous to have fome roaft- 

 ing pigs, fome of a fmall kind for pork, and 

 fome of a large kind for profit, may in all 

 probability have them at the fame litter. As 

 a fow gives more milk the firft month than 

 afterwards -, it would do well to kill a few 

 pigs off at the expiration of that time : the 

 fow would rear the remainder better, and at 

 lefs expence. And if two fows are kept in- 

 ftead of one, the roafting-pigs would nearly 

 be clear gain. 



With grey-hounds I have made fimilar trials, 

 A very middling bitch, if put to a capital 

 dog, breeds a good-running dog : but put the 

 beft bitch to a bad -running dog, the whelps 

 will be good for little or nothing. It is my 



opinion 3
