stands wide and deep in body, 
on short, fine legs. The body 
is of just moderate length. Its 
principal merit is in its early. 
maturing qualities under lim-

no range for forage. It is, 
therefore, most popular under 
a very intensive system and where few hogs are raised. 
The Victoria is white in color and a hog small in size. 
It is often seen at fairs and shows, but is not raised to any 
extent for either bacon or pork. It has more. characteris-

any important place of usefulness.
