"MAPLE-SHADE FLOCK." 
THOROUGH-BRED ( OTSWOLD SHEEP. 
I This justly-celebrated flock was selected from the flocks 
of the most noted breeders in England, with reference to 
the best wool-producing and mutton qualities. It is pro- 
nounced by competent judges to be the finest flock in 
America; and some of the Rams and Ewes are believed 
to he equal to any that can be shown in any country. 
The wool is long, fine, and lustrous, yielding from S to 20 
pounds per head. They are full and square-bodied, very 
strong in the loins, and weigh from 200 to 300 pounds at 
maturity—sometimes exceeding eveu this weight. They are 
hardy and vigorous, and for breeding pure or crossing with 
Other breeds, are believed to promise more profit than any 
other sheep. The wool is in good demand at remunerative 
prices, and the thorough-bred rams crossed with any other 
sheep, even Merinos, will produce a good combing wool, 
and lambs of such size as will bring a large price early in 
the season In market. 
Every sheep at present in the "Maple-shade Flock" was 
either imported or bred direct from imported sire and d<im, 
or has a perfect pedigree. 
It will be the ami of the present proprietors to sustain the 
reputation of the "Maple-shade Flock," and. if possible, 
add to it ; also to show the good results of different crosses 
with other sheep. 
We offer for sale Choice Ewes, Rams, and Lambs.

Now is the Time to Order Fall Pigs, 
The demand for this valuable breed of pigs is such that 
many who delay In sending their orders are disappointed. 
My rule is to enter orders on the receipt of five dollars in 
advance, and as soon as the pigs arc ready, the orders are 
filled in rotation. My spring pigs, except a few choice sows 
and one boar, arc all gone. I am now ready to enter orders 
for Fall Pigs, and I should be very glad if those wishing 
nigs would send on their orders as early as possible. I scud 
out none but choice pigs, and they give good satisfaction. 
Head the following unsolicited testimonials: 
Augusta. Makion Co., Ind., July ;6th, 1872. 
The Essex pig arrived safe and sound June 6th. He gained 
one pound per day for the first four weeks. Since then he 
has gained 10 lbs. in a week. He is admired by all my visit- 
ors. I think he is the best pig in " Hoosierdom." 
A. P. WILEr. 
Columbus, Onto, May 29th, 19:i. 
1 am well pleased with the pig. C. Yfr. HFSS. 
New Brunswick, N. .T., June 8th, 1872.' 
He Is a very fine pig. I am well satisfied. C. II. HUE", 
Stkesville, Howard Co., Md., June 20th, 1872. 
I am very much pleased with the determination you have 
manifested to give me a good start with Essex pigs. The 
two sows arrived this morning in first-rate condition. The 
male pig [sent some weeks before], is growing very fast, and 
Is the best looking pig I have ever seen. 
JOSEPH BARLOW. 
Moxton, Ind., June 10th, 1873. 
The pigs arrived May 10th. They have completely re-cov- 
ered from the trip, and are doing as well as any pigs I over 
saw. I am well pleased with them. "WOODFORD BURK. 
Hannibal, Mo., December 22d, 1871. 
The Essex pig I received from you has grown finely, and 
given perfect satisfaction. I have this fall slaughtered four 
grade Essex that averaged 301 lbs. each. One weighed 325 
lbs. alive, and dressed 290 lbs., making 86 2-13 per cent of bis 
live weight. They were eight months and eight daysold the 
day they were slaughtered. JAMES C ASHMOIiE. 
Clarksttlle, Ohio, Jan. 15th, 1872. 
The Essex pig I got from you Is growing finely, and I am 
well pleased with him. W. CL1MER. 
Monmouth, III. 
The Essex sow I got from you is doing splendidly, SLc la 
admired by all who see her. 1 think she is the handsomest 
pig I ever saw— and I have seen a great many. 
irvine McCartney. 
Arcadia, N. T., May 10th, 1S72. 
The Essex pig arrived safe and in good order, and I am 
well pleased with him. He is all that 1 anticipated. 
L. J. BENTON. 
Austin, Texas, Feb. Gtli, 1872. 
The pigs arrived yesterday, and look remarkably well. 
To say that I am thoroughly pleased is scarce enough. I am 
more than pleased, and you have my thanks for giving me 
more than my money's worth. I have two Scotchmen in 
my employ who were in ecstasies over them (for Scotch- 
men). I would not take $150 for the pair of piss. 
B. R. TOWNSEND. 
WHAT I CLAIM FOR THE ESSEX. 
1st. Pork and hams of the choicest quality— sweet, tender, 
juicy, and fine flavor. 
2d. The lard is remarkable for its whiteness and solidity. 
3d. The pigs arc entirely black, but when dressod are per- 
fectly white. 
4th. They are the largest of the small breeds. 
5th. They are a thoroughly-established breed, and when 
pure-bred, and have been properly cared for. they have re- 
markable power In impressing their qualities on their 
offspring. 
6th. They have fine bones and light offal. 
7th. They are remarkably quiet and gentle. 
8th. They are " easy keepers." They eat well, and then lie 
down and grow rapidly, and can be fattened at any age. No 
breed matures earlier or fattens more rapidly. 
9th. They are good graziers. My breeding sows keep 
almost too fat on grass alone. 
10th. A pure-bred Essex will improve any breed (for the 
butcher) with which he is crossed. 
1 have over One Hundred thorough-bred Essex pigs, and 
pay great attention to their Improvement. I make their 
breeding a specialty, and believe I have aa good Essex pigs 
as~can be found in this country or in England. I shall have 
great pleasure in forwarding good pigs to any readers of 
the American Agriculturist or Hearth and Home who may 
favor me with their orders. My prices are reasonable. Or- 
der early, and you will be sure of getting choice pics. They 
will be boxed, furnished with food for the Journey, and de- 
livered at cxpress-oftice without extra charge, and I guaran- 
tee their safe arrival. Address
