HISTORY OF THE DUROC 



Defender, was mated to this noted boar. 

 From this litter came Top Col. He was 

 used until the herd was dispersed, when 

 he sold to Truax & Son of Ohio at $1,000. 

 The Messrs. Johnson also produced Cherry 

 Chief and sold him as an under year boar 

 to Morton & Co., and the old hog" later was 

 purchased by J. C. Droz, Hanks & Bishop. 



Ernest Pancake of Illinois assembled a 

 herd soon after the World's Fair in St. 

 Louis and had at the head Ransom Chief, 

 by Ohio Chief, one of the litter mentioned 

 as produced by Browning, from old Helen 

 Blazes and Ohio Chief. He also bought 

 Prince Wonder, a boar by Decatur Boy of 

 Jackson. This was one of the most perfect 

 individual boars the breed has ever pro- 

 duced. He died whik being fitted for Illi- 

 nois. Prince Wonder sows were all good 

 producers. One of his sons, Prince Won- 

 der Again, was grand champion at Minne- 

 sota, 1911. Pancake later purchased De- 

 fender and in 1911 sold him and his entire 

 herd to East Bros, of Ohio. 



One of the families that has come into 

 prominence in the last three years, and 

 which seems destined to be in the lead for 

 some time, is the Sensation family. At the 

 present writing more boars of this family
