. Types and breeds of farm animals. Livestock. 724 SWINE an investigation of the subject of the origin of the breed, a committee reported to the National Swine Breeders' Convention at Indianapolis, Indiana, in November, 1872, and the report was accepted. In this no recognition was given to the influence of Poland blood, but the committee recommended that " in view of the difficulties in making a change in the name of any breed, that the said name of " Poland-China' be recognized as the accepted name of said breed, and the report of the committee was ; The early improvers of the Poland-China pig in the days of its formation as a breed were represented by numerous intelligent farmers and stockmen, more particularly in the Miami valley. The Shakers of Union Vil- lage in Warren County were most prominent in this work, and the herds of various breed- ers who later obtained distinction traced back to Shaker breeding. Mr. John Harkrader of Springboro, Warren County, who has been classed as one of the originators of the breed, developed a herd generally recognized as being of great merit, from which descended much prepotent blood. Most prominent among the promoters of the breed about 1865-1870 were D. M. Magie of Oxford, Butler County, Ohio, who claims to have originated the Poland-China; Alexander Young and James Duffield of Somerville and John Irvin of Darrtown, all of Butler County, Ohio; and A. C. Moore of Canton, Illinois. Magie and Moore extensively advertised the breed and did much to bring it before the public: Other impor- tant constructive breeders in Ohio established herds as follows: W. C. Hankinson, Blue Ball, 1857 or 1858 ; J. Douthett, Xenia,. Fig. 340. A prize-winning Poland-China boar of the Medium type, owned by L. C. McLaughhn, Pleasant- ville, Ohio.
