HISTORY OF THE DUROC 



pion at Nebraska Fair, 1908, and being used 

 some time, was brought to Illinois by Brown- 

 ing & Comer, and when campaigned again 

 won 1st in aged class in three of our largest 

 fairs. He was a medium sized hog, and 

 crossed only fairly well with the Colonels 

 and Protections used in middle section and 

 Eastern herds. His daughters were used in 

 many herds east of the Mississippi, but only 

 a very few of his sons proved valuable herd 

 sires. 



Another family which deserves notice 

 here is the Critics. Glendale Critic, the 

 head of this family, was bred by E. Z. Rus- 

 sell, and traces through Tolstoi, and Hugh 

 Tucker to Protection, his dam being an 

 Ohio Anna sow, one of the same family 

 from which came old Crimson Wonder. 

 Malcolm Model, by Old Top Notcher, was 

 also used in building this family, as was 

 Gold Dust Jim by Liberty Jim, the latter 

 from the Roberts herd and tracing to Al- 

 lison 5267. He had another boar also 

 called Am Awake by Awake, a Roberts 

 boar mentioned heretofore. Jumbo Critic, 

 Glendale Critic, Jumbo Critic Jr., Critics 

 Echo and other boars of this line were used 

 to further intensify this blood. Later Mr. 

 Russell used Proud Chief by Ohio Chief,
