The committee will note that there are some breeds, such as the Lancashire White, the Lincoln, the Yorkshire, and the Neapolitan, not mentioned by name, which are deserving of notice. Should any of these be offered for premiums, the exhibitor must be able to prove purity of blood and directness of descent, to the satisfaction of the committee, who may award discretionary premiums.

In case an award is made to a single individual of a litter, and the litter is entered for a premium, there must be four in number, without the one entered for a special premium, but the pig may not be ruled out of the litter otherwise, as the sow, as a breeder, is entitled to show the whole of her progeny, no matter what the number.
