Effective farming; a text-book for Effective farming; a text-book for American schools effectivefarming00samp Year: 1919 Swine 411 and are the result of crossing native white swine with white hogs from Europe. The Todd strain was developed by Todd brothers, the foundation stock being a white and black boar from England mated with a white sow. The Ohio Improved strain was started by breeding and selecting the original Chester Whites with the purpose of securing animals of larger size and superior quality. The animals of the different strains are now found in most parts of the United States and Canada. They are white in color, usually with blue specks, known as freckles, on the skin. In size they rank with the Poland-Chinas and in conformation, they are somewhat longer, but usually show less width. The face is long and straight, the ears, drooping and falling gradually for- ward, not standing from the head as in the Poland-Chinas. Duroc-Jersey. — By crossing the Durocs and the Jersey Reds, swine found in New York and New Jersey, the Duroc- Jersey breed (Fig. 184) was originated. At first the animals had several undesirable qualities, but these have been improved by careful selection. The breed is very popular in the corn-belt states. In color the animals are red, a cherry red being preferred to lighter shades. In size they rank with Poland-Chinas and Chester Whites. In conformation they are low-set, broad and deep with full, smooth hams and shoulders. The head is of medium size, the face slightly dished, the ears, of medium size and point outward, forward, and slightly downward. Hampshire. — The breed known as the Hampshire, or Thin Rind, originated in England. The animals have been classed as Fig. 184, — Duroc-Jersey sow.
