 stone. With very little food and care, they 

 kept fat in their growing state. 



I had a sow that yielded me one hundred 

 and twenty-five pounds fifteen shillings in 

 eleven months. I sold three hogs to Ge- 

 neral Ridgely for fifty-six pounds five 

 shillings currency. The pigs were all 

 sold from the sow at seven weeks old, 

 except one. At two litters, she had only 

 twelve, to make the sum. 



I will here take the liberty to insert my 

 butcher's bill, as a specimen from the 

 shambles.
