THE LARGE BLACK 765 



Large Blacks, however, have been widely distributed in other 

 counties and in many foreign countries, including Tasmania, 

 Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Russia, Denmark, Argen- 

 tina, Brazil, Austria, Germany, Chili, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, 

 and the United States. 



The promotion of the Large Black pig in England is under the 

 official direction of the Large Black Pig Society, organized in 1898 

 at the Smithfield Show in London. This society has a large mem- 

 bership and has published up to 19 19 about twenty herdbooks, 

 registering a great number of pigs. In 191 1 a National Large 

 Black Pig Association was organized at Lexington, Kentucky, but 

 thus far it has not been active in claiming public attention.
