Why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took
No Prizes in Georgia.

Why the Qunker's Chester Hogs Took
No Prizes In Georgia.
From the Atlanta Constitution
Il never shall forget an incident which
occurred at the first fair ever attended
In Georgia. said a retired Cincinnati meat
packer. 1T was at Macon, and 1 think
they called it a state fair. At any rate, It
was a big thing for the town in those
days. They had some fine st ock on exhibit
ton, and Pennsylvania had sent down
about twenty of the finest looking hogs
you ever saw. They were mostly Chester
whites. and If 1 recollect Alright they were
exhibited by Thomas Wood, great hog
and cattle fancier of twenty and thirty
years ago. He it was who introduced that
famous breed Of hogs, the Chester white,
and he made great deal of money out Of
his fancy stock He was a Friend,
Quaker, YOU know, who used the plain
language and wore a broad-brimmed hat.
He was a smart old gentleman, honest and
prosperous. He sent his hogs from state
fair to state fair, and they took SO many
prizes and blue ribbons that each hog look
ed like a boy who had spent all his money
making collection of badges.
when the Macon judges made their
awards they gave blue ribbons very Iber-
ally to the razor backs, but not one Of the
fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got prize.
The owner of the exhibit did not under
stand it, SO he hunted up one of the judges
and said in the language of the Friends:
90 know thee to be an honest man and
do not question thy fairness in the award,
but to crafty my own curiosity 1 would
be glad to have thee tell me why thee gave
all the prizes to the native stock and what
fault thee found in miner
My friend. the committee admired your
hogs greatly the judge replied. They are
certainly handsome, and I have no doubt
that in your section they are the best
breed to raise, but they are not suited for
this country. They are so short-legged and
fat that a niger could catch them in two
minutes. What We require in a hog in the
south is legs and wind. We give our prizes
for speed'"
