BERKSHIRES 



THE earliest accounts of the Berkshire that we have are the brief recitals 

 of tradition. He is believed to have sprung from the native European 

 wild hog. In the earliest accounts of swine breeding, the hog of the 

 Berks and adjoining regions was noted in the London markets. He has 

 been noted in the Berkshire region from time immemorial, where he has under- 

 gone the slow process of evolution, which has made the Berkshire the prince 

 of ham-and-bacon hogs throughout the world. 



Since the introduction of the Berkshire into America from England, over a 

 hundred years ago, he has been the subject of more or less experimentation. 

 As a result, his character has undergone a considerable number of changes.
