Meat-Type Hogs Glowing Pushed \ American .housewives' demands for leaner pork, coupled with a mounting fat surplus, are push ing swine producers to grow and market more meat-type hogs. U, S, Department of Agricul ture animal husbaridrymen are in the midst of a field research program launched this summer Dy the swine Industry to develop methods tor Identifying superior meat-type breeding stock. The program's objective is to determine how closely estimates of fatness and conformation of live hogs check with the cutout weights after slaughter and also tc. what extent these characters tics are passed on to their off spring. Working #ith swine breeders, USDA specialists estimate the fat ness of each hog In several pure bred test herds. Later, the breeders and De partment. livestock specialists check carcass date from some of the hogs which have been market ed against the estimates they had made earlier. Next year, they will do the same work with the off spring of hogs tney're working with this year. Thus, breeders will be able to use the data in marketing their breeding stock. ''Mrs. Average Housewife" will be awaiting results, but mean while she will also be using her own system to pick the lean from the fat. j To keep the average, herd bull requires 1.500 pounds of grain, two tons of hay, 1 ton of silage, one ton of bedding, and 100 man hours a year.
