POLAND -CHINA.

Butler county, near Cincinnati,
Ohio, has long been famous for its
excellent breed of hogs. 1t was here
that the Poland-China and Magic
breeds were developed and brought
to their present state of superiority
which puts them at the head of all the
swine upon the face of the earth.
Fully fifty years of patient, intelli-
gent dcuotion to the idea of produc-
ing model hog, has made the Po-
land China one which will produce
more meat and lard for less money,
and in less time, than any other, which
is fact now of almost universal rec
ognition.
J. M. Hedrick, of this city, recently
received by express from Mr.. S. L.
Shollenbarger, of Somcrville, Butler
county. Ohio, SOW pig of this breed
which is, perhaps, the champion pig
of the Des Moines Valley.
If any of our farmer friends wan
to see perfectly beautiful swine Of
this popular breed, let them call al
his place and see it.
In the meantime, Mr.. Shollenbar-
ger, who makes specially Of raising
the very best and purest blooded hogs
for breeding purposes, may be adj
dressed as above. lie is perfectly
reliable man, and his hogs are not
surpassed by any in the country.
