ART. 2.--_Nose_, of a light orange color; a black or mottled nose
should be rejected. 3
ART. 3.--_Eye_, should be bright, prominent and clear, surrounded
by a bright orange colored ring. 3
ART. 4.--_Ear_, thin, rather below medium size, orange color
within, with a quick movement, expressive of attention. 2
ART. 5.--_Horns_, light, tapering, of a waxy color, somewhat long
and spreading gaily towards the tips. 2
ART. 6.--_Neck_, clean in the throat, fine at the junction with
the head, and full at the shoulder. 2
ART. 7.--_Chest_, deep and round, carrying its fulness well back
of the elbows, thus affording abundant internal room for the
action of the heart and lungs. 6
ART. 8.--_Brisket_, full and round, spreading the fore legs well
at the junction with the body; not projecting, but forming a
regular slant, without dewlap, to the throat. 4
ART. 9.--_Shoulder_, in this breed is a beautiful and important
point, and should in a degree approximate to that of the horse;
with points less prominent and in a more sloping position than in
most other breeds, indicative of activity and good traveling
quality. 5
ART. 10.--_Crops_, full and even, forming a line with the
shoulder and back, extending well down the shoulder blade so as
to prevent a cavity between the shoulder and the barrel. 5
ART. 11.--_Back_, full, loin broad, with the short bones
extending full to the hoop ribs; hip bones wide and on a level
with the sacrum, and setting on of the tail. 8
ART. 12.--_Rumps_, broad, full, and well covered. 3
ART. 13.--_Escutcheon_, this should be broad, maintaining an even
breadth from the udder to the sacrum. 8
ART. 14.--_Quarters_, long, and well filled between the hip bones
and the rumps, with a good muscular development at a regular
slant to the hocks. 6
A pork ham objectionable.
ART. 15.--_Flanks_, moderately deep, full and mellow in
proportion to condition. 4
ART. 16.--_Legs_, fore legs of medium length, spread wide at the
brisket, straight, with well developed, round, muscular arm,
firmly knit at the knee, fine shank bone with large sinews,
drawing nearer together as they approach the feet; hind legs with
a gradual taper from the patella to the gambrel joint, which
should be wide, leg below, fine and flat, with large sinews,
forming an angle of thirty-three degrees, and moving in a
straight line with the fore legs. 5
