QUALITIES TENDING TO
MAKE IDEAL FOUNDATION
Many Points Considered When Selecting Boar
o Herd-Pay Attention


but of what use Is a superb form
and quality in a sire if his offspring
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
time. and that at the least possible
expense of feed. The actual size will
depend upon the feed, size of the
mother, etc. However, | think that
from 600 to 500 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-
nation. If the hog is to live at all 1t
must have a good, strong set of vital
organs-by these I mean heart and
lungs. The surest indication of these
is a deep body well-set, broad chest
and a broad heart girth. In other
words deep chest and a set of we'll
sprung ribs. The nose, too, should be
broad and the nostrils full, giving
large openings for breathing
The head should be broad, indicat-
ing good feeding capacity; the eye
bright, indicating a wide awake nature
and the ear should be carried well
from the head, and should be of good
quality. A heavy ear indicates slug
gish disposition.
The hog must have, above all else,
a good digestion and assimilative

About seven years ago a small

worse at night and would not allow
