The lean sides are known in 80 TO ~
days as fancy breakfast bacon. The
fact thai there was such Il large corn

under existing Giro, ances sells on
q par with the cho. L heavy hogs.
The 'razorback" or mast hog as
1t Is known, comes from South Mis-.
souri,, Arkansas and rough wooded
sections of Oklahoma. 1t has been
fed no grain, and rustles for its eX.
istence in the woods, eating nuts,
berries, acorns and roots. When
marketed it weighs lao to lS5 pounds,
all OF which is strung out on Il long
frame, with little girth. Shippers say
this sort of hog in the past few years
has decreased materially, as market
demand has SEN bargain buyers on a
still hunt for them.
