From what were they originally bred? The breed originated in Southern Ohio in War- wick and Butler counties in 1837, and was an established breed in 1840. They are produced from four pure and distinct breeds, three of which arci imported, name- ly, Poland, Big China, Big Irish Grazier, and Bayfield. The Poland China hog is ef fine bone, but large size, combining more eminently, than any other excellenciea of both large and small breeds, being docile, excellent breeders, feeders and sucalers, ca- pable of fattening readily at any age, and yet attai fact they as one ha usually from ten to twelve months old, and from 500 to 600 pounds at eitpiteen months of sge. The Poland China hogs are' dark le color, usually_black, with small white, pro- ma:cm:lee spots; however, i they usually have mono white in the face and about the legs and feet, They have long bodies, short necks, iheavy jowls, short, square heavy shoulders, broad deep hams, frequently overlying the hock joins. They have no flabby, hin belly meatt but are thick in front of ham, and have very little offal when fat. They are strong and, hardy in constitution, and will make more pounds of pork for a bushel ef corn taan any other breed of hogs in America,. .................

For fully two hours the vast audience was entertained, being at times held spell -bond, as with word pictures Miss Alexander reproduced to the mental vision the "Royal Bowman" ;and again the reat crowd was convulsed with laughter as the doings of "Jenks' Phonograph" were recounted. No greater testimony to Miss Alexander's remarkable ability can be given than the bare statement of the -simple fact that, with - mat any assistance in music or otherwise, this one artiste entertained the great multitude present teat night for fully two hours without a single hitah or unnecessary delay in the programme.
