Origin of Hogs.
Our common American breed? of
hogs are a combination of what is
best in two distinct types. One is the
wild hog of the forests of Europe and
the other is the Chinese hog. The wild
hog of Europe has a very large head
and a long snout. It it is a lpng-leg
ged, high-backed animal with the
ability to run nearly as fast as a
horse. For a thousand years the
royalty of Europe have found it great
sport to hunt the wild boar. He is
very fierce, and uses his sharp tusks
to good advantage in fighting off the
dogs. To this day there are wild
hogs in Europe, and many of the
farm types of hogs in Russia, Poland
and the Balkan states are only slight
ly changed from the original wild
type.
The Chinese hog is an altogether
different kind of animal. For more
than four thousand years the Chinese
have been selecting for a hog which
would fatten quickly, a hog with a
high percentage of meat and fat and
a small percentage of bone and waste
material. Several hundred years ago
the Chinese seemed to have fixed a
short-legged, fat-hammed, small-bon
ed type of hog. They had small heads,
pendulous bellies, and were rather
weak in 'the back.
All of our modern breeds are a
combination of the wild hog of Eu
rope with the Chinese hog. The name,
“Poland China,” for instance, indi
cates the Chinese blood in our most
popular black breed of hogs. It is a
matter of history that back about
1816 some typical white Chinese hogs
with fine bone, short legs, small
heads, and early fattening qualities,
were crossed with a larger, coarser
type of hog with a big head, long legs
ar.d large bone. The Berkshire was
also used in forming the Poland China
and it is from the Berkshire that the
black color comes. When we go back
into the history of the Berkshire, we
find that it also was formed by com
bining the Chinese hog with the wild
hog type. More than a hundred years
ago, in central (England, a reddish
brown hog, evidently derived from
the original wild type, was crossed
with the Chinese hog. These par
ticular Chinese hogs were black in
color and had prick ears, both of
which characteristics they stamped
upon the Berkshire.
The history of the Duroc is not
quite so clear-cut as that cf the Pol
and China. The Duroc seems to have
come originally from the west* coast
of Africa. Spain and Portugal. As
to wiietrier or not these red hogs of
Spain, Portugal and Africa trace
1 back to the wild hog of Europe or to
the Chinese hog can not be stated for
certain. The chances are, however,
that there was a very strong dash of
Chinese blood in all of these red hogs
before they ever camefcto the United
States.
The Yorkshire and Tamworth give
less evidence of Chinese blood than
any other of our common breeds of
hogs. Both of these breeds have
rather long legs and the Tamworth
particularly has a large head some
what after the type of the wild hog
of Europe. Both of them have strong
constitutions and a^re good travelers.
During the past ten years there
has been a strong tendency in the
Durocs and Polands to emphasize the
big type idea . By this is meant em
phasizing the large bone, the long
legs, the strong back and good con
stitution which came originally from
the wild hog of Europe. An effort
has been made also to hold on to the
early maturing and easy fattening
qualities of the Chinese hogs.
In nearly all breeding work, wheth
er it be with plants or animals, the
greatest progress has generally been
made by the mixture of two strains
and then endeavoring to fix the type
so as to combine the best points of
the two strains. Hog breeders have
shown especially great skill during
the past hundred years in combining
the good points of the Chinese hog
with the good points of the wild hog
of Europe.—Wallace’s Farmer.
