In 1816, we have positive proof from an unquestioned source, that the Shakers of Union Village, situated in Warren county, Ohio, and being four miles from Monroe, in Butler county, purchased at Philadelphia one boar and three sows of what was at the time believed to be pure China. They were represented to be either imported or the immediate descendants of imported stock. They were called 'Big China hogs.' These animals were the first China hogs ever brought into south- ^^%.,.. POLAND-CHINA. western Ohio. Subsequently other China hogs were introduced and extensively used. The Shakers and other judicious breeders in Warren and Butler coun- ties, continued to use the breeds at command, and produced by repeated crosses a hog of exceeding fine qualities, for that period, which was gen- erally known as the 'Warren County Hog.' These hogs continually in- creasing in good qualities, were bred in both counties, and the very best specimens were carefully and interchangeably used so as to make the best crosses.
