The most extraordinary instance, however, of the docility of the pig, and one which proves that it might become valuable for other qualities, were it duly educated, than those connected with its flesh, is given by Daniel in his Rural Sports. It is an account of a New Forest Sow which was broke in like a pointer to stand at game, and which, from the delicacy of her scent, she would find when the dogs had been unsuccessful. Thomas and Richard Toomer were concerned together, at the time in questio...n, in breaking pointers and setters ; some of their own breeding, and others sent to be broke by different gentlemen.' In some instances these dogs were intractable or slack. At one time when impatient with want of success, a sowpasse'd along, which on being fed by them evinced something in her manner that at- tracted their notice. The thought came into their mind that pos.sibly she might be trained for this very purpose, so as to do as well as the animals to which they were devoting their attention.
