ESSEX PIGS. 
I keep no other breed of pigs except the Essex. 
Taking everything Into consideration, I regard them as 
the best, purest, most refined, quletest.and most thoroughly 
established breed of pigs now extant. 
I do not know that they have a single fault, 
I have never heard any one who examined them carefully 
object to them except ou the ground of color. 
They are a black breed. 
I have heard many farmers say: " If they were only white,- 
they would be perfect." This, of course, is mere prejudice. 
When dressed, they are as white as the whitest, and the 
lard is firmer and whiter than that of any white hog I have 
ever seen. 
" But are they not too small? " They are classed with the 
small breeds, but they will dress over 400 lbs. They are 
quite large enough. They are the largest of the small 
breeds— larger than the small Berkshires, and much larger 
than the Prince Albert Suffolks, small Yorkshires, or 
Neapolitans. 
So far as I know, I have the largest stock of pure-bred 
Essex in the "United States, and I think my pigs are at least 
as good as any pure-bred Essex to be found in England. 
My prices are reasonable, and I feel certain that I can 
give good satisfaction to all who favor me with their 
orders. 
My spring pigs are the best I have ever raised, and I am 
selling sow pigs at reduced rates.

\-ALUABLE ESTAXE FOR SALE 
near ANNAPOLIS, the Capital of Maryland.— The 
undersigned offers for sale his Farm, known as " Primrose," 
containing 485M acres ; not over a half-mile by water, and a 
mile and a half by the county road from the City. All of 
the farm buildings, which are ample for all the* wants of 
such property, are either new or in excellent repair, except 
the dwelling-house, which is a double, two-story, brick 
house and wing, and for a small sum can be made a first- 
class residence. 
The location is healthful and beautiful, commanding an 
extensive view of the waters of the Bay, and the ground! 
are planted with shade-trees, shrubberv, and flowers. The 
cultivated land of about 300 acres has all* been heavily limed, 
and is in a high state of cultivation, adapted to the growth 
of all the crops raised In this region, but especially adapted 
to the cultivation of melons, berries, vegetables, and all tree 
fruits, with which the estate is abundantly supplied, and for 
which its vicinity to Annapolis and access to Baltimore by 
rail, and daily and nightly oy steamer, furnish ready sales. 
There are about 4.000 bearing peach-trees; 500 pear?, dwarf 
and standard; and 500 apple-trees now bearing, or all rapid- 
ly becoming so, on this property. The location of the Naval 
Academy, and the cultivated society of the City, furnish 
superior attractions to those who desire recreation. St. 
John's College, and excellent Schoold, furnish the best op- 
portunity for educating children, whilst the growth of the 
City is rapidly enhancing the value of all property in the 
neighborhood. 
As an investment for future advantages, or for profit from 
cultivation, few estates in the country present greater ad- 
vantages than the purchase of the property now offered, or 
than the terms for which it can be purchased. 
Price, $25,000, of which $10,000 to be paid in cash, residue 
on easy tenns of credit.
