HISTORY OF THE DUROC 



shipped to Iowa and mated to Ohio Chief, 

 giving him a Protection bred litter that 

 added much to the popularity of the herd. 

 Educator was one of this litter, and after 

 being used by Browning and sold West, 

 finally landed with the Fred Swan herd. 

 Soon after selling Defender he purchased 

 from S. E. Eakle the boar known as Dis- 

 turber, he having sold the dam to Eakle & 

 son, bred to Defender. This hog he fitted 

 and campaigned and won many honors. 

 Disturber was undoubtedly the smoothest 

 and largest big type Duroc boar produced 

 up to that time. He died soon after the 

 close of the fair circuit. Disturber's dam 

 was Lucy Wonder 112th, tracing to Chief's 1 

 Col., Proud Advance and old Lucy Won- 

 der. Browning developed the Tattletale 

 family of sows and carried a number of 

 them to leading shows. These came from 

 the great line of brood sows Browning had 

 produced in his herd and many of them 

 were sired by Volunteer, a boar by Pre- 

 mier Col., by King of Cols., which Morton 

 had sold to Dr. Stanberry of Tennessee as 

 a pig. Stanberry developed and fitted Vol- 

 unteer and won grand championship at 

 Nashville, Tenn., 1911. Browning bought 

 him for $1,000, won grand championship
