The barrel is long, with slightly arched ribs and deep sides. They are strong and active and are good grazers. The Berkshire is a good feeder and affords a good quantity of bacon. Fig. 145. Three representative Tamworths. 301. Tamworth. The native home of the Tamworth breed is in the counties of central England. They are typical of the bacon type of hog, so popular in some sec- tions of England and Canada. With the increasing high prices for fancy bacon, they are becoming more widely recognized than ever before. The color is red. The back is long, while the sides are moderately deep and contain a large amount of 'streak-o'-lean' bacon. The hams and shoulders are without the large amount of external fat so noticeably present in Poland-Chinas and Duroc- Jerseys.
