2. Score Carp For Bacon Hocs.—As with lard hogs, have avail- 
able two or more individuals of the bacon type for judging. If 
bacon hogs are not raised in the community, the exercise may be 
given over to judging lard hogs, using the previous score card. It is 
advisable to compare the two score cards, indicating the principal 
differences between the two classes. Every student should be able 
to distinguish the bacon type from the lard type, and to know a good 
bacon hog when he sees it.
