SPANISH MERINO SHEEP.— Convinced ofjXhe 

 advantages of fine-wool growing over any other 

 branch of husbandry in Virginia, I keep a flock 

 commonly of about 1000 Merino sheep. After 

 much care and judicious selection I have succeeded 

 in raising my flock to an uniform and high standard 

 of excellence. My sheep, for thrift, form, purity 

 of blood and fineness and weight of fleece, will 

 compare favorably with any flock in the United 

 States. I have an agent, an experienced wool- 

 grower in New York, an excellent judge of fine 

 wool and sheep, and acquainted with all the best 

 nocks in the country, who every year buys for me 

 a lot of the best bucks and ewes to be found in the 

 North. This annual addition enables me to pre- 

 serve the purity and excellence of my flock without 

 practising the fatal error of "breeding-in-and-in." 

 The large increase from my ewes give me annually 

 ;i surplus of over 1000 for sale. Persons wishing 

 to get the best stock of this description are invited 

 lo examine my flock. They can be supplied here 

 ' ( u,s cheaply as stock/of the same character can be 

 brought from the North, and with a certainty of 

 getting them in thrifty condition and free from all 

 disease. S. S. BRADFORD.

PIGS OF IMPROVED BREED FOR SALE.-- 

 I have for sale, to be delivered at weaning time, 

 a good many pigs of improved breed. I have pro- 

 duced it myself from crosses of the Sjurry (or Suf- 

 folk) genuine Berkshire, (Dr. John R. Woods' stock) 

 Irish Grazier, Chester County, No Bone and Duch- 

 ess. 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 should 

 view my brood sows and my boar on my farm, three 

 miles below Richmond. I will not sell them in 

 pairs, becatise the in-and-in breeding would depre- 

 ciate the stock at once and cause dissatisfaction, 

 but I will sell in one lot several of the same sex. 

 Price $5 per head for one, and an agreed price for 

 a lirger number. They will be delivered on the 

 Basin, or at any of the Rail Road Depots free of 

 charge.
