REMINGTON HOGS WIN.

J. A. Teter with his herd of Duroc Jerseys and J. W. Lock with his Poland Chinas have again demonstrated that Remington leads the world in producing prize winners in these two leading strains. Mr. Teter won 11 prizes out of a possible 13 at the Michigan state fair at Detroit, 6 seconds, 3 thirds and 3 Championships, including Grand Champion Boar. Grand Champion Sow, Junior Champion Boar, both Premier Championships and all herd % prizes offered. This is a sweep that any breeder would be proud to as the classes were large and competition keen. At the Indianapolis state fair he was again victorious, winning 4 first premiums, leading all Duroc exhibitions in this respect, 2 second premiums and one fourth. His sales were very satisfactory having sold 12 bead at Detroit and 13 head at Indianapolis. At the two fairs his herd won a total of 37 prizes, S2OO in cash premiums, 2 silver cups valued at S2O each and 3 silver medals valued at $lO each. J. W. Lock exhibited at the lowa state fair where he won 14 ribbons and was robbed of several others if the report of Col. Caldwell in the Farmer’s Review is correct. At Indianapolis his herd won 15 ribbons including first in class and Championship on yearling boar, first in general herd, first on herd bred by exhibitor and grand sweepstakes on herd all ages. He also reports good sale at renumerative prices. * # *
