ing animals are said to possess bacon type. The man who 

 would be a judge of this class of swine, must learn to recog- 

 nize bacon type not only in the market hog, but also in the 

 boar and breeding sow. The description which accompanies 

 the scale of points is intended to apply to all hogs of bacon 

 type, whether they are market hogs, boars, or breeding sows. 

 In scoring, however, allowance would have to be made for 

 the different classes of animals. Thus, the kind of bone 

 required in a sow would be too light for a matured boar, and 

 the kind of shoulder looked for in a boar would be too 

 coarse for a market hog; and so, throughout the list, due 

 Allowance would have to be made. The explanations fol- 

 lowing the scale of points will perhaps make this clearer.
