One of the most successful hog
breeders in Illinois says that he never

ancient days. when nations knew
comparatively little of each other. or

George White has produced by Sc

chicken in existence after ten years
of effort, during which he crossed and
recrossed breeds. The result is a
big white fowl that continually seems

solely to the shortness Of its legs. When
