A further suggestion is afforded by a census of the 

 pure-bred swine in Indiana, in June, 1907, as reported by 

 the state bureau of statistics, which showed in that typical 

 swine-growing state, 24,632 Poland-Chinas, 26,729 Du- 

 roc-Jerseys, 7,834 Chester Whites, 4,811 Berkshires, 76 

 1 am worths, 168 Yorkshires, 337 Hampshires, 240 Essex, 

 47 Victorias, 21 Suffolks and 229 Mule-Foots. 



Careful estimates made by De Witt C. Wing, an editor 

 of the Breeder's Gazette, of the numbers of living regis- 

 tered pure-bred swine in iVmerica, of the different breeds, 

 at the beginning of 1909, were as follows : Poland-China, 

 70.000; Duroc-Jersey, 60,000; Berkshire, 15,000; Chester 

 While, 10,000; Hampshire, 3,000; Large Yorkshire, 

 2,000; Tamworth, 3,800. Grand total, 163,800.
