HISTORY OF THE DUROC 



Finch and Pearson, of Indiana. Roberts 

 also bought a Protection boar called I See. 

 They also used Zeek, a winner in the pig 

 classes at the Columbian in '93. ]. W. 

 Stribling, of Iowa, had a Protection bred 

 boar called Ohio Tom, as did also J. Ben- 

 son & Son, of Iowa. During these years 

 from '80 to '90, the Browning herd in Illi- 

 nois was using such boars as Col. Wonder 

 3817, by British Wonder, and a grandson 

 of Iowa Champion 2443, and General Ly- 

 ons from the Morton 'herd. It was during 

 these years that the son, Harry E., so well 

 known in later years in the Duroc world 

 took the reins of the herd and continued 

 to build one of the most famous the breed 

 has ever known. Columbian Chief, by 

 Col. Wonder, by British Wonder, Vermil- 

 lion Prince, by Col. Champion, and Wal- 

 ters Onward from the Walters herd, were 

 used. 



About this time, Walter & Bro., of Ohio, 

 had developed Tom Wonder 6061 and U. 

 S. Wonder 6057, out of Lucy Wonder 

 6334. These breeders perfected the Lucy 

 Wonder family and the Walts Duchess 

 family of sows. Mr. Mahan, father of the 

 present Duroc man, C. E., founded his 

 wonderful herd of sows on a litter sister
