ESSEX PIGST 
I keep no other breed of pigs except the Essex. 
Taking everything into consideration, I regard them as 
the best, purest, most refined, quietest, 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 on 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 arc as white as the whitest, and th© 
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 smal' 
breeds— larger than the small Berkshires, and much larger 
thau 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 an 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.

LSTS.-Two years' experience in the manufacture 
of flre-kindlines has directed our attention to the utilizing 
In their manufacture a waste material found in everyfamilv, 
that, when prepared according to our invention, will supply 
them continually with the best kindling in the world for a 
mere trifling expense. How well our efforts have been 
crowned with success, we need only say that after a careful 
examination at the Patent Office of all the inventions in this 
line, this is pronounced to be the most practical, best, nnd 
most convenient of anything yet Invented. Xhey commend 
themselves to the favor of all, evn where the kindling of 
fires is intrusted to servants and children. We hare also In- 
vented a perforated metallic Mold Pre^s for family use, for 
molding this material, with which a year's 6upp]y can be 
molded in a day. Having perfected our invcnti"m». and 
taken measures to secure t tie same by letters patent, we de- 
Eire that every family in the land may have the benefit of 
thiscrent convenience. For this purpose, we will send by 
mail, postage paid, to any address, on receipt of one dollar 
and twenty-five cents, a mold, sample of kindling. Instruc- 
tions how to prepare the material, mold, and use, and giant 
a familv rieht to make and use the same.
