and easily kept. They are not liable to mange as some prejudiced breeders, or 
those who have ‘‘axes to grind” on other grindstones, so positively state. Chester 
Whites are also a well and thoroughly established breed, with well defined charac- 8 
teristics to which they breed very true—as true as the Berkshires or Poland Chinas. 
There is no doubt that the fame and“good name of Chester Whites has suffered my 
considerably by the shipments of certain unprincipled dealers; men, such as will be 
found in every business, who would buy up worthless mongrels, whose only pretense § 
to the genuine was their white color and perhaps looped ears, and palm them off for m 
the ‘‘ Genuine Chester Whites.’”’ There are as poor hogs in Chester County as any ~ 
where in America, and _we have sold the pure stock of Chester Whites in this very 
county at FANCY PRICES. We have shipped our pigs to almost every State in the a 
Union, and everywhere they prove the very best sort of an advertisement, procuring & 
for our firm numbers of new customers. We have no Superior, if any equal, in our 6 
shipments of this profitable breed. ie
