Note to the Teacher.—From the coarse, rough and 
savage wild hogs of the woods have been evolved the 
gentle, meat-making swine breeds of the cultivated 
fields. It took centuries to accomplish this task and 
thousands of earnest minds have been devoted to the 
work. Students should know the leading breeds and 
what their important and distinguishing characteristics 
are. The obvious purpose of this lesson is to bring these 
facts out. Such study ought to create a strong interest 
in hog raising and in growing only well-bred stock.
