HOG RAISING ON THE FARM.

ing so that they may become vigorous
and well developed.
The boar, rs is usually said is half
Of the herd; therefore, great care must
bc exercised in his selection. In the
first place. he should be full blood
sire of whatever breed he is chosen,
SO that he may correct any faults that
may obtain in the sows. Like the
sows. he should come Of prolific and
vigorous family. but should be more
correctly built than the sows. 1t is
well to have the boar about the same
age Of the sows.
