The largest hog raised for many
years past was recently slaughtered
at Elton Wood Manor, near Brays
Cross, in Newport, says the Lon
don Meat Trades louruab The
animal was a Jersey Red boar, 2%
years old, weighing alive 1609
pounds aud dressing 1336 pounds.
This huge swine, which was the
property of William Harris of
West Smithfield, measured 9 feet
from tip of its nose to ettd of its
tail. It measured 2% feet across
loin, 2% feet across the hams aud
6 feet in girth. This makes the
hog 3 feet through. It is split at
the shoulder, and to look into the
carcass is like lookiug into the
crevice of a cavern. The carcass
spreads across the perspective of
the stave like a Titanic statue of
pork personified. It also looks
like the body of the great hog-god
embalmed aud reposing iu its
gigantic majesty. From hip bone
to toe it measures 2% feet, aud
about the same from the crest of
the shoulder blade to the bottom of
the foot. The great fat jowls ex
tend nearly two feet across. From
between the ears to the tail is over
7 feet. The tail is the smallest
thing iu the big proportions; it is a
mere point in the air. The face is
also small for the size of the
animal. It is only 16 inches long.
The hams are monsters in size,
and the vast stretch of pork in the
long waist is home just above the
ground by four comparatively
small feet. The usual porker is a
mere pigmy by its side. The big
gest hog heretofore grown weighed
1224 pounds, dead weight.
