Milliken, Of Ohio, was adopted. At that
convention II was agreed to drop the
word Magic from the name, and that the
PolsndC China be recognized as the ac-
cepted name of the breed. The report
states that:
In the early history Of swine breeding
in the Miami valley, Ohio, it is clear,
from the best authority, that there were
two breeds, the Russia and the Byfield.
The Bedford breed is also named with
the other two. In 1916 we have posi-
tive proof that the Shakersof Union Vii
lage. Warren county, Ohio, purchased,
one boar and three sows, pure china
ralled "big China hogs" The Shakers,
and other iudicious breeders of Warren
and Butler county, continued to use the
breeds at command, and produced, by re-
peated crosses, hog of exceedingly fine
qualities for that period, known as the
"Warren county hog" The very best
specimens were used, 80 rs to make the
best crosses. Thii condition of the breed
continued until 1885 or 1886, when Mr..
Munson Or Beach introduced the Berk-
shire from New York. The Berkshire
blood was literally infused into stock
now existing in Ohio, until 1888 or 1889,
when Mr.. Neff, of Cincinnati, imported
some choice specimens Of Irish Graziers.
This breed soon grew into high favor,
and was literally crossed with the crosses
already made. This crossing of breeds
continued for some time. In few years
pure bloOded Berkshires were no longer
used, and no more Irish 0raziers import
ed. The breeders of swine in the Miami
valley settled down to the convic.
tion that the basis of q good
breed of hogs had been established,
and stimulated by their success
they have aimed TO improve what they
have been 10 successful in forming. All
defects have been corrected or improved
by care. Thus we have breed thor
oughly established, which can he relied
upon by the production Of like quanti-
ties and character in progeny. The best
specimens have good length, short legs,
broad, full, square hams and shoulders

Possibilities or an Acre.

No man knows what these are. We
know that two hundred bushels of corn
were once grown on one acre, and that
iive bales Of cotton have been made on
the same acre of soil, but we do not
know that the limits of production We're
reached in either case. We should try
to find out not merely how much of any
given crop can be produced on one acre
of land, but how cheaply il can be grown.
A big crop may not, in all cases, be a
profitable one. II may cost too much to
make il. The greatest yield with the
smallest possible outlay Of capital and Ia
Dor is what we aim at. Our farmers are
often too poor, not 70 much because their
crops are small and small they are COM
pared with what they might be-as be-
cause it costs too much to make them.
We must learn to make larger crops with
less labor. To do this, we must 20 over
less ground, and make science and prac
tical skill properly supplement muscle
