Several years ago a few specimens of the breed were taken to the Central experimental farm at Ottawa, The Colorado Importation Canada. Was made in September of 1907 by Prof. W. L. Carlyle and consisted of three sows and a boar. The object of this importation was to introduce a hardy prolific hog that could be produced profitably. The only experiments so far attempted have been a series of crosses between the new breed and the Duroc-Jersethe d-China and other cornbelt hogs, with the object of giving to the native breeds the prolificacy, vigor and rustling qualities of the Large Blacis. These points are ones that directly concern the breeder's pocketbook and in addition are main points of controversy in the rivalry of the different breeds for public favor.

This disappeared in a few days, leaving the litter solidly black. In this case the useful limits of fecundity were passed. The pigs were small and weak and more than half' of them were lost within a few days. These pigs are now sufficiently developed to show the large pendulous ear of the sire and to give promise of the bacon conformation with a heavier head and lighter shoulder than the Tamworth. The pigs from the Duroc-Jersecross were not uniform. The skins of all were black, but a few had at farrowing time, and retained for a few days afterward, a reddish cast to the hair.

The Large Blacks are practically unknown outside of England, but have been bred for many years in the south and east of that island. Little is known of the foundation stock or of the method of breeding pursued in developing this distinct breed of swine. However, judging from the uniformity of type of those brought to America and the power shown in transmitting outstanding characters, it is evident that no admixture of outside blood has bpen used for many years. The individuals of this breed are uniformly black in color and are classed In the bacon type. The ears are large, coarse and drooping; the nose is of medium length and the shoulders are the lightest and most refined of any of the breeds of swine, writes E. J. Iddings, in Breeders Gazette. The sides are long and of medium depth; the hams tend to flatness and are rather long and tapering The back has a medium arch and parwhich is takes of the narrowness characteristic of bacon hogs.
