There is no getting away from the fact
that lard is the fat Of the pig. There was
a time in the olden days when lard was
made from particular part OF the pig, the
selected part-it was called the "leaf"-
that is, the peritoueum; but, with the
growth Of the industry lard is now thrown
on the market made from pigfat from all
portions Of the animal, and lard, today, is
not as good as the lard Of years ago-in fact
