but of what use is a superb form

cannot develop enough bone to carry
them to market?
Size Is something that, until lately,
has been somewhat neglected The
size demanded by the best breeders
Is just the size that. when mated with
his sows, will make the pigs that will
make the greatest growth in the least

depend upon the feed. size of the
mother. etc. However. l think that
from 600 to 800 pounds at maturity is
not far wrong.
The next consideration Is what is
believed by many to be the very most
important. This is the bodily confor

must have good. strong set of vital
organs-by these / mean heart and
lungs. The surest Indication of these
is deep body well-set, broad chest
and broad heart girth. In other
words a deep chest and a set of we'll

broad and the nostrils full, giving

Next to the foundation the most i'm

II is impossible to maintain a good
herd of swine unless we use boars of
superior merit. The old story that the
boar is half the herd is only half true.
for If he is poor animal he is the
whole herd-that is. he will ruin its
quality in a single cross.
