IGS OF IMPROVED BREED FOR SALE, 

 have for sale, to be delivered at weaning 

 time, a good inan}^ pigs of improved breed. I 

 have produced it myself from crosses of the 

 Surry (or Suffolk) genuine Berkshire, (Dr. John 

 R. Woods' stock) Irish Grazier, Chester County, 

 no Bone and Duchess. I think them superior 

 hogs of medium size, and for fourteen years they 

 have not had a bad cross among them. I prefer 

 that purchasers siriould view my brood sows and 

 my boar on my farm, three uiiies below Rich- 

 mond. I will not sell them in pairs, because 

 the in-and-iu breeding would depreciate the 

 stock at once and cause dlssatisfacton, but I will 

 sell in one lot several of the same sex. 



Jg^^'Price $5 per head for one, and an agreed 

 price for a larger number. They will be deliv- 

 ered on the Basin or any of the Railroad Depots 

 free of charge.
