121 any service in the plough or the draught; affording us neither milk, butter, nor cheese; nor furnishing any warm and woolly fleece for our clothing, is, not- withstanding-, highly estimable in supplying us with excellent food ; and its value is not a little enhanced by the shortness of the time requisite for its growth and fattening. The hog does not ruminate, but resembles the ru- minating animals in dividing the hoof and preferring a vegetable diet; and it partakes of the nature of the ca...rnivorous race in relishing animal food. 'In the length of the head, and in having only a single sto- mach, it exhibits a similarity to the horse : in its clo- ven-hoof we trace a resemblance to the cow ; and ifr approximates to the claw-footed kind, by its appetite for flesh and its numerous progeny. Thus the spe- cies serves to fill up the chasm between carnivorous animals and those which feed upon herbage. This animal, producing from ten to twenty younaj at a birth, forms also a remarkable exception to the two general rules of nature; that the largest a*iimaK pro- duce the fewest young, and that, of all quadrupeds, those which have claws are the most prolific.
