In one of his cr.aracteris;ic but brief letters Mr. Sievers tells >f the death of this marvelous old >oar as follows: To The Poland China Journal:?I vill write you a few lines to tell you ;hat Big Bob died yesterday.? Fred Sievers, Audubon, la. Big Bob was farrowed Sept. 10, L912, and was nearly 9 years.old when le died. It can be said that he was one sf the greatest sires the Poland China jreed ever has produced and did as nuch as any boar to make tne roiana popular with breeders throughout the land. This result was accomplished by reason of his almost uncanny ability to produce pigs of marvelous conformation and correct type. His progeny have been the kings and queens >f the showrings in many a hotly contested victory, where the champions ind grand champions in the National Swine Show and many state fairs lave been chosen. In fact the world lias ieen enriched because of Big Bob. The fame of Big Bob was as wide its the continent and he was known to ;very student of bloodlines or lover of purebred swine. And while he proluced a greater number of winners in the showring than probably any joar of his period yet Big Bob never vas, so far as The Journal knows, in i showring himself. He never was fit:ed for the ring. It was in the 1S19 Progress Number of The Journal that Mr. Sievers published a list of the tons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters of Big Bob who had von prizes as show animals. Although die list was set in small type it occu pied more than three pages in this paper. And **hat was equally as marvelous was the fact that it was in the ame Progress Number, two years ago, ;hat Big Bob's picture was published for the first time. The Journal had J..'s to say of him at that time: ' Elsewhere in this issue will be 'ound a list of the winnings of the Big Bob family, a list that challenges jomparison and by virtue of their ichievcments entitles this grand old irogenitor to the highest honors past rnd present. Never a show boar himtclf, or at least never fitted for the ihowring, Big Bob has won solely on lis merits as a sire. He rose to the lighest pinnacle of fame without any special exploitation and handicapped n any way in this respect by a joint iwnership. After his first crop of pigs le was hailed as an epoch-maker, a ;uper-sire, and the phenomenal symnetry and type and all-around goodiess of his get marked a new milettone in Poland China production. Each ;ucceeding crop of pigs continued uniformly good and even now, when he s long past the alloted time for boars, le continues to sire the most improved type." Big Bob was sired by Chief Price id by Longfellow by Longfellow 7th. Sis dam was R's Lady Wonder by Long Wonder by A Wonder. One of lis most famous grandsons was Caldvell's Big Bob, champion of the world n 1917. We give the above because of the 'act that a great grand-son of this famous sire is now owned by Mr. D. F. Epps, Summer's Big Bob, one of the finest specimens of the breed we lave ever seen. County Agent Madison will have something to say next veek about the hog owned by Mr. Epps.
