IDEAL TYPE OF HOG.
Every Breeder should Set Up n stand.
ard of His own and Work Up
to 1t Confidently.

In visiting many herds and flocks
have been most strongly impressed
with the fact that there is no uniformity
of type in them. Each man has all sorts
of types and kinds in his herd or flock.
says Prof. G. E. Day, Of Guelph. The
result is that they breed up flock or
herd that will never be of any use in
the country. Each young breeder, and
old one, too, for that matter, must find
out what is the right type; then set
this up as an ideal and work to it. You
cannot reach your ideal at once. 1t
may take ten, fifteen, twenty or even
forty years to do SO, and perhaps you
may never reach it, but keep it ever
before you, never lose sight of it for
an instant, nor let anything else drive
it away. You will find that the man
who makes success of breeding is he
who sticks to his ideal with, as it were,
a bulldog tenacity, and though he may
not become famous, he will at least
make name for himself in his sphere
OF life. l would emphasize the impor-
lance of getting the right type fixed in
ones mind as an ideal. There is type
OF hog that gives the best bacon, and
If the production of bacon hogs is the
ideal a man has set up for himself, then
he should get as near to the ideal type
as possible. Some breeds of hogs come
much nearer that type than others. In
judging of the length of a hog it is not
enough that he should be long from the
nose to the tail, but it is of special i'm
| portance that he should be long between
shoulder and ham. l have heard some
people say that it costs more to pro-
duce the bacon type of hog than the fat
kind. | want to give you this for your
encouragement-it has never been
proved that it does cost more. Our ex-
periments show very conclnsively that
1t does not necessarily cost more to pro-
duce a pound of gain in a good bacon
hog than in fat hog, and that good
bacon hog is an economical producer.
