Excerpt from Breeds of Swine Here are two distinct types of swine, the lard and the bacon types. Swine of the lard type far outnumber those of the bacon type in the United States. The lard type is preferred by the people of this country, consequently the majority of feeders produce the rapid fattening, heavily ¿eshed lard type. The bacon type is not raised extensively in the United States. The production of choice bacon is more general in those countries where the feed of the hog is more varied and where corn is not relied upon as the principal grain for hogs. The principal breeds of the lard type are the poland-china' Berkshire, Chester White, duroc-jersey, and Hampshire. The principal breeds of the bacon type are the Tamworth and the Large Yorkshire.
