Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The U. T. Farmer, Vol. 8: October, 1913
The adaptability of the Berkshire to environment is of the first class. No breed of swine is fed and bred under more varied conditions with the success that is attained with the Berkshire. Its strong constitution fortifies it against disease. It is found growing successfully and meeting with favor in the North, where the winters are severe, and in the South, where the summers are hot. It thrives equally well on the alfalfa of the West, the cow pea of the South, and the red clover of the No-rth.' This, coupled with its out standing qualities as a general utility hog, explains in a way its popularity and wide distribution.
