THE POLAND-CHINA BREED 63 
Coat.—Fine, straight, smooth, lying close to and covering 
the body well; not clipped, evenly distributed over the body. 
Objections.—Bristles, hair coarse, harsh, thin, wavy or 
curly; swirls, standing up, ends of hair split and brown, not 
evenly distributed over all of the body except belly. Clipped 
coats should be cut 1.5 points. 
Color.—Black with six (6) white points: tip of tail, four 
white feet, and white in face on the nose or on the point of 
lower jaw. All to be perceptible without close examination. 
Splashes of white on the jaw, legs, or flank or a few spots of 
white on the body not objectionable. 
Objections.—Solid black, white mixed or sandy spots. 
Speckled with white hairs over the body; mottled face of white

animals and those kept or fitted for the show of at least 
25 per cent in size. In show condition, or when fat, a two-

sow not less than 500 pounds. Boar one year and over, 400 
pounds; sow, 350 pounds. Boar of eighteen months, 500 
pounds; sow, 450 pounds. Boars and sows six months old, 
not less than 160 pounds. All hogs in just fair breeding con- 
dition, one-fourth less for size. The keeping and chance that a 
young hog has cuts quite a figure in his size and should be 
considered, other points being equal. Fine quality and size 
combined are desirable. 
Objections.—Overgrown ; coarse, flabby, loose appearance, 
gangling, hard to fatten; too fine, undersize; short, stubby,
