Well Known Prosper Dealer is Adj
vertising Big Sale Poland Chinas
i'm This Weeks Public
Opinion.

The following is taken from a re-
herd" the official Poland China
paper:
Late in December we visited the
Young herd and want to impress up
on our readers that this will be one
of the highest class offerings of big,
smooth Poland-Chinas to be sold this
winter in our territory. Mr.. Young
has spared neither time nor money
to bring his herd up to it's present
state of Big Type excellence. For
years he has been going out and top
ping the best herds of Iowa, Ne
braska, and his home state of Mime
sofa, keeping those that proved up
to his ideal of what a Big Type
should be, both as an individual and
producer. Many high-priced ami
mlas have gone to the pork market
because they did not come up to his
standard. In this, his initial sale,
he will prove that he not only knows
how to select the good ones, but also
how to mae to produce them. Forty
queens of the breed will go in this
great sale, including number of his
choicest young brood sows. In fact,
, the nineteen tried sows, most of
which are yearlings and 2-year-olds,
are each and every one a good one
and many of them are really out
standing. We will call attention to
few that we know any breeder
would be proud to own: Giantess
Maid A is a Fall 2-vear-old that was
good enough to take second place
as Sr yearlings at the Minnesota
State Fair last fall. She is by Mas
ter's Giant, out of a Critters bred
SOW, and is bred for early litter to
Orange Wonder. She will make an
500 lb. SOW, and, if properly fitted,
next Fall she will stand a splendid
chance of being a grand champion
SOW. Giantess Mable by Master
Giant was third in the aged class at
Minnesota, and a brood sow every
inch of the way. She is bred to
Orange Wonder. Pownee Giansess
1st bv Masters Giant, dam Defend
er's Choice, a line-bred Defender, is
one of the choicest offerings in the
sale Bred to Orange Wonder. There
are several other "corking" good
ones by Masters Giant that will con-
vince anyone that Young has one of
| the best breeding boars of the breed.
Long Bess A and Long Bess B are q
| pair of magnificent April yearlings
by Long Giant, litter brother to
Ruebel Bros. Black Jumbo. Both of
| these are great show prospects for
1916. They are also brood soWs,
having raised good Spring filters.
Both are bred to Orange Wonder.
Then there will be a litter sister to
the sire of those named. Giants Sis
| ter, bred to Master Giant. She is a
Spring 2-year-old, and the one look
| ing for great size will find it here.
A big, smooth yearling by The Big
Orphan, out of a daughter of old A
Wonder (Fes.), is one of the best
and BIGGEST Big Orphan sows we
ever saw go in a sale ring. This SOW
is bred to Master Giant and is one of
the most valuable things that will
| sell this Winter. Others that are at
fractions are by Longfellow Jr., Big
Long Jumbo and other noted boars.
Seven "corking' Fall yearlings by
Master Giant and Expansive, grand
son of DORIS Expansive and Long
| fellow Jr. Fourteen Spring gifts that
will not be outclassed this year. Sew
en- of these were bred by Fred L..
Rood & Son, Clearfield, Ia, and sold
to Mr.. Young in September. Their
litter mates sold in the Fesenmeyer-
Rood sale at an average of $1,000.
They are by Roods Big Joe, out of
sows by A Wonder Again, Expansion
