Every woman's heart thrills at the

with deep layers Of fat. In the past
there has been q keen demand for
the lard hog, but necessities and

being rapidly replaced by vegetable

The consumer is also demanding a
leaner pork. especially bacon. It Is
true that there is a large demand for
lard and that this will still continue,

The state of Michigan is possessed
of conditions eminently adapted to the
production of prime bacon on account
of the availability Of dairy by-product
