[POINTS OF A GOOD BOAR Although the pig produces more progeny than any other farm animal, the offspring of the sow is limited, whereas the boar may be the sire of hundreds of pigs during his life. When a boar is being selected, therefore, only the best available should be bought. If it is a good boar it will i improve the standard of the herd. It should come from a | large, thrifty litter, and be obtained from a reliable breeder. It should be a little more compact than the sow, not too ! chunky or short, but showing full development at every point, and of a strictly masculine type representing the full type of his breed. It must show quality, smoothness and evenness in every part, have a typical masculine head, with eyes and ears wide apart, the jowl reasonably full and well laid on to the shoulders, which should be smooth and free from wrinkles. It should have a full heart-girth extending well down to the bottom lines, nearly or quite on a level, with as deep a flank as possible. It should possess rather short or medium length legs, with bone of fair size and | quality, pasterns short and straight, and the hoofs well set, I legs standing square, straight and well under the body. A ! long, wide and deep ham, and tail well set up are also desirI able characteristics.
