TYPES AND BREEDS OF HOGS
Two Kinds Art Found t Greater or
Let Extent In Most Part of
i. United States,
(Frtpared by the United Ctatea Depart
ment of Arrtrulture.)
There are two types of swine, name
ly, the fat or lard type, and the bacon
type, lloth tjin-8 are found to a great
er or less extent In most parts of the
country and are the outcome of local
conditions rather thnn market require
ments. The lard type prevails In sec
tions where corn is used as the prin
cipal feed, and the bacon type Is jten
crally found on farms where the hogs
require a variety of feeds.
The lard typte of hogs Is one which
has a compact, thick, Beep, smooth
l-ofiy and Is capable of fattening rap
Idly and maturing early. The hams,
back, and shoulders are the most val
uable parts and should be developed
to the greatest possible extent. The
whole body of the animal should be
covered with a thick layer of flesh rep
resenting the extreme development of
meat production. This type of hog, un
der good conditions, should weigh 200
pounds or more when seven to nine
months of age. This Is the most pop
ular market weight. Due to the facts
that corn Is the most abundant hog
feed and lard hogs mature ery early,
this type predominates.
, The most popular breeds of the lard
type are the Berkshire, the Poland
China, the Duroc-Jersey, the Chester
While, and the Hampshire.
' The Berkshire had Its origin In Eng
land and takes Its name from a shire
or county by that name. The color la
black with white markings in the face,
on the feet, and on the tip of the tail.
The face Is moderately dished and the
snout is of medium length. The ears
are usually erect, though they may in
cline forward In aged animals.
The roland-Chinn originated in But
ler and Warren counties, Ohio. The
breed takes its name from the two
breeds from the crossing of which K
la supposed to hnve resulted, namely,
a I'olnnd breed and a Chinese breed.
The color Is blnek with white on feet,
face, and tail. The face is nearly
straight and the Jowl is full and heavy.
The I Htroc-Jersey had Its origin lu
the blending of two red breeds, the
Jersey Reds of New Jersey and the
Darocs of New lrk. The color is
cherry or yellowish red. The fnee Is
slightly dished, the snout Is of medium
length, and the ear is drooped.
The original Chester White had It

or Todd's Improved CheRter White, and
the Ohio Improved Chester White, com
monly known as the OIC strain. The
eoloi Is white. The face is straight;
the snout Is usually longer than that of
the Toland-Chlna. The ear Is drooped.
In general conformation the Chester
White and Poland-China are very much
alike.

wide encircling the body and Includ
ing the forelegs. The face la straight

tyne In that the animals are more ac
tive, have longer and conrser bones,
and do not carry as much fat as thn
lt;tlrr. Their bodies are longer than
those of the lard hogs. The hams and
Mioulders are light but the bodies are
deep and wide. The most popular
market weight ranges from 175 to 200
pounds.

type are the Tamworth and the York
shire. Tho Tamworth Is of English origin
and takes Its name from Tamworth In
Staffordshire. The color varies from
n golden red to a chestnut shade. The

long." So says G. L. Kerr, manager
