Decidodly the most popular breed of
swine of the present day, is the Berkshire.
That it is black in color, is ; only an objec
tion to those who form their opinions from
prejudice rather than from knowledge, as
the color is not even “ skin deep,” and a
IJerslrirc hain, or side o( bacon, when freed
from hair, is not to be distinguished from
the same parts of a white pig. The Berk
shire is not classed among the large breeds
nor can it be placed among the small
breeds. In this respect it holds an intcr-
igh sn
Mode/ Farmer.
mediate place, though specimens o casion-
ally reach a very respectable size, and com
pete favorably with the heaviest swine.
No breed has undergone a more elaborate
proceaft ofimprovement than the Berkshire.
Orgiiraily of a tawny or reddish sandy
color, spotted with black, with large lop
cars hanging down over the eyes and
coarse in form and feature, the breed has
been brought to a nearly entirely black
color, the face, tail, and feet only, being in
small -part spotted spotted in white. The
form lias been refined and filled out, the
bone also refined, the shoulders and hams
broadened, and the sides deepened, until
no more handsome bacon swine now exist
than these. The ears arc pricked and much
lessned in size. This animal leaves nothing
to be desired in the way of a profitable pig,
cither for a farmer, or a feeder who keeps
but one or two animals for his home supply
of hams and bacon. The most conspicuous
remnant of the old fashioned Berkshire, left
in its modern relative, is the pinkish hue of
the skiu, which distinguishes it readily
from the other black breeds, such as the
Essex or the black Suffolk. Originally,
there were two distinct varieties of this
breed, that which was wholly white, «nd
that which was principally black. The
while Berkshire's we have not seen of late,
nor at all in the United States, having seen
but a few of them some yeais ago in the
yards of a Canadian breeder, who imported
them. These were known ns the Windsor
breed, and, with the Coleshill, another
white variety, still exist in England. It is,
as a black breed only, that we know tile
Berkshire. The chief points of the breed
are as follows: a moderately short bead,
dished face, nose straight and not turned
up, as in soinc small breeds, ears generally
pricked, although drooping ears, while not
desirable, are not incompatible with parity
of blood; color black, with purplish tinge,
and not a dead black like that- of the Essex;
sometimes the color shows a slaty-bluish
tinge, doubtless derived front crossing with
the Neapolitan. Tbe eyes are not sunken
mid small, but large, bright and intelligent;
the back is broad and level, but the barrel
is not so round; as in the Essex or the Suf
folk the sides are deep, and the rump droop
ing, with the tail often set lower down than
the line of the hips; the legs are short and
strong, and the feet white; the hair vane ,
according to tiie kind of management, front
a thick coat, soil, silky, and free from harsh
ness ami bristles with ihosc that have plenty
of ont-door exercise, to a thinner, finer, but
not weak coat in those that are closely
]H'imcd; the flesh has a good mixture of
fat and lean. When properly fed, the pigs
reach a weight of front 300 to 500 pounds,
at a year old, if the animal is well kept
from birth. The history of the Berkshire
as a fuvoiite with feeders and breeders,
dates back only for 15 years, and it can
justly be said that it is only now that it is
finding its proper j>osition among farmers,
in spite of the prejudice against its color
and wholly through its undeniable merits.

Poole and Men s Clothes.
[ London Cor. New York Herald.]
They say that Poole, the great tailor, is
dead. I’ve read the statement in a news
paper, so it must be true. If anything is to
be found in a newspaper it is the plain, un
varnished truth. Poole, the tailor, Peters,
the coach builder, and Purdy, the gunraaker,
arc credited with having the finest horses in
England, and how long a list of customers do
you think Poole boasts? You’ll never guess,
so I’ll tell you —60,000. Perhaps you ims
agine the majority nre English, bn the
contrary, they are American and French.
“ Your couutiyraen and the French are our
largest buyers,’’ said one of Poole’s head men
the other day. “They buy five times ns
many suits of clothes as the English. You
see, our aristocracy feel that they can afford
to wear old clothes.” Here’s a moral. Now
that we are no longer parvenue, now that we
are one hundred years old and have a world’s
fair all to ourselves, can we not afford to
3 tend less money at Poole’s and wear old
otbes? I’ve heard so much about the ex
travagance of American women that I take
infinite comfort in telling them what vain
spendthrifts the men are. There is nothing
more grateful to the carnal mind that the re
tort of ** You're another!”
A Dress of Martha Washington’s
Day, which Rose Eytingc is to wear in a
new Centennial drama she will shortly
“star” with, is thus described by Celia
Logan: “ It is an heir-loom, having be
longed to an ancestress who lived in Wash
ington’s day, mid it was worn to Martha’s
receptions. The satiu slip, as it woa then
called, or, as we should say, under-skirt,
was white, but it is now of a rich cream
color at night; in day time, it shows the
discoloratioh of age. This slip is so narrow,
that it is a wonder how any woman ever
walked with ease in it. Around the bot
tom is a ample row of very costly luce, of
the kind known as Iloniion. Tnc over
dress is an Indian satin, “ Torkey” red; as
our ancestors had it. It is cut close to the
form with a few gathers at the back—a
modern tie-back is nothing to it; the queer
old waist terminates just below the bust.
It is rather diamond-shaped than sqnarc in
the neck, with a fell of white lace, with
which also tho skirt of the “Turkey” is
trimmed. The sbfio arc most singular.
It seems as if no woman could ever have
walked in them, but the soles show that
they have been worn. They are of white
satin, with the toe part sharpened almost
to a point, while the heel fa about two
inches high, and at the end resembles the
stent ot au inverted day-pipe. Miss Eytinge
thinks she will not be able to wear these
Centennial shoes. Some of the inddenuin
the life of her ancestress hare been woven
into the play.
Bishop Sirason’s Centennial prayer was
more than twice as long as either President
Grant’s, General Hawley’s or Mr. Welsh’s
speech. Philadelphia Bulletin. The Bish
op doubtless supposed that it was the first
prayer ever heard by hundreds ot the news
paper men present, and he thought they
couldn’t get loo much of a pood thing, you
know. —NorrtsUnm Herald.

Wo extract, with very great pleasure
•the tbHowing -firwnr-n letter of Colonel C.
W. Howard, of Atlanta, to the New York
Tiibime:
“John A. Meeker, Esq., a Southern gen
tleman of lino education, and having a taste
for fanning, has been successfully engaged
in it at Athens, in Clarke county. Soon
after the war, he visited the North fortlu-
purpose of learning their mode of farming.
On his return, he purchased au old tract of
land which had been used for sixty years.
His neighbors absolutely laughed at him for
so doing. By the use of big ploughs, and
with two'animals and sub-soiling, and turn
ing under when green, the cow pea, also
clover, soon made bis land astonishingly
productive. In answer to a letter from me,
lie says: ‘Oats sown October 13th, 1874,
produced in 1875, seventy-five bushels per
acre. ‘ I have only raised rye. for cutting
green or turning under to improve the
lands, but think fine crops could be pro
duced. Barley docs very well. I raised |
three acres last year; the average was |
thirty-seven bushels per acre.
Sly cotton average, in 1874, was three-
fonrths of a bale, last year 14 bales per acre,
(fertilizers used on the ground,) and it was
upland.
“ Clover is a certain crop on good land
Yield from one to three tons per acre.
Should lie sown from September 10th to
October 20th, and, if sown alone, can be
cut the next spring or fail, depending upon
the moisture or dryness of the season.
“ All the Northern grasses do well here.
S ould be sown early in the fall, on ground j
well prepared. I prefer Orchard and tall j
land.
