SWINE CONTEST. 



Competition in this class was narrowed down to a single ex- 

 hibitor, Molokai Ranch, which entered three well finished Duroc- 

 Jersey hogs, all grain-fed and showing excellent breeding. They 

 were as even a bunch of hogs as could be well imagined and 

 little or no difference could be seen in the dressed and chilled 

 carcasses. It was only when the dressing percentage and the 

 weights and percentages of the different cuts were obtained that 

 any difference could be detected and it was upon these differencs 

 that the awards were based.
