cottager who wants a pig that can be matured with a small 
amount of feed. There is no American breed that requires 
crossing with a breed like the Small Yorkshire, unless it is 
e “ Razorback,” and the Essex seems rather better adapted 
to this purpose, as its skin will stand the hot sun of the South 
better than that of a white breed. The Small Yorkshire is 
not noted for fecundity, and, unless some unforeseen con- 
ditions arise, the breed seems destined to gradually disappear.
