In a class of over fifty spring hoar pigs of excellent quality, representing the best that could he produced by the combined efforts of the pig clubs and feeders of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, the pig of Lewis & Son stood first. They received the first premium also on yearling boars and aged sows, second premium on junior and senior yearling sows.
