THE SMALL YORKSHIRE 529 



of 1 39 1 . This does not speak well for the popularity of the Small 

 Yorkshire in England. In the United States the breed is very 

 rarely seen at the live-stock shows, nor are there many breeders. 



The distribution of the Small Yorkshire is mainly in England 

 and the United States, in small herds and in a limited degree, 

 as has been indicated. They are mainly located in the eastern 

 United States, notably in New York, Massachusetts, and Penn- 

 sylvania, with a few small herds in the middle West. 



Organizations to protect and register Small Yorkshires exist in 

 England and America. The National Pig Breeders' Association 

 registers in Great Britain. In the United States the American 

 Small Yorkshire Club was organized in New York in 1878. This 

 club has registered about 1 500 pigs in the first two and only 

 volumes of the herdbook issued. The American Yorkshire Club, 

 organized in 1893, with headquarters in Minnesota, also registers 

 this breed in the American Yorkshire Record, of which two 

 volumes have been published. In the herdbooks of this club 

 the Small Yorkshires are registered in a group by themselves, 

 as Class A, the Large Yorkshires being in Class B. Only a 

 few hundred of the Small Yorkshires have been registered in 

 this club, these being rrkainly in the western states.
