In the West this breed became very popular some years ago, and still 
is in many parts of the Northwest. Farther south, however, in the true 
corn zone, pure white hogs of any breed are not favored. They are 
thought not to stand out-door usage so well as black or nearly black

The following may be given as the characteristics of these hogs : Head 
■hort and broad between the eyes ; ears thin, projecting forward and 
lopping at the point ; neck short and thick ; jowl large ; body lengthy 
and deep ; back broad ; hams full and deep ; legs short and well set 
under the body ; coat thin, white and straight; (if a little wavy it is no 
Objection). The tail should be small and with no bristles.
