To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Long pendulous ears are usually coupled with these qualities, and attract purchasers. If, however, as is often advisable in large dairies and cheese factories, hogs are to be sold at BREEDING. 151 all seasons to the butchers, great attention must be paid to quickness of growth and facility of gaining flesh, so that the animals may attain their full growth and be ready for killing before they are a year old. This quality is particularly prominent in the Chinese and African breeds ; but among our... ordinary varieties, hogs are often met with which are better adapted for this purpose than for produc- ing large quantities of bacon and lard. '•' The boar should be selected from a breed well suited to these several purposes; he must be sound and free from hereditary blem- ishes ; and should be kept separate from the sows till he is about a year old, and has finished his growth, or he will begin to leap too early. He is usually castrated before completing his third year, otherwise his flesh becomes uneatable.
