THE FAST TROTTING 
UEliliFOUIYfililEK. 
Will stand at Middletown, Butler Co., Ohio, this year at $8 
for the season. He is a bright blood bay, with black legs, mane 
and tail; is 16 hands high, and weighs 1200 lbs. He has proved 
|himself a first rate stock horse, some of his coltg having sold 
jnear N. York for $1000. He has trotted his mile in 2 min. 45 
! sec., and is every way a sound and desirable horse, his colts 
| being equally adapted to the road and heavy farm work. Ad¬ 
dress Dr. ANDREW CAMPBELL as above. 
IS. M. 
MIDDLETOWN, BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO, 
Is now prepared to fill orders for thorough-bred Berkshire 
Pigs, from the late imported boars Windsor Castle, Earl Craven 
and Sultan, and twenty choice sows purchased of A. B. Allen, 
a part of his recent importation. Pigs in pairs from this supe¬ 
rior stock will be furnished substantially caged and delivered 
on the canal at Middletown, or on board steamboat at Cincin¬ 
nati, from $30 to $50 according to age and quality. Orders ac¬ 
companied with cash, will always secure the preference. 
ALSO—Pigs bred from the superb boar Kenilworth, of astock 
of the largest and finest kinds of white hogs in England, also 
imported by Mr. Allen last October, crossed on the splendid 
large white Miami hogs of this country. The Miamis have been 
long noted for their large sizes. Animals of this breed have oc¬ 
casionally come up to the enormous weights of 1200 and 1400 
lbs, and it is believed that the cross of Kenilworth on them, will 
easily attain the weights of 700 to 1000 lbs at 18 months and two 
years old, if well fatted. Pigs of this cross $25 per pair caged 
and delivered as above.—Refer to the editors of this paper. 
Dr. FEUCHTWANGEK. 
Begs leave to inform the Agricultui'ists, that experiments are 
now instituting in various parts of the country for testing the vir¬ 
tues of his Seed Protector, a powder, sufficient of which is af¬ 
forded for 3s. for 2 quarts of seed, which will preserve the seed 
of Com, Rye, Oats, Wheat, Peas and other vegetables from the 
attack of the grubworm, and prevent all other insects, caterpil¬ 
lars and butterflies from touching the sprouting plant. He is 
desirous of having it fairly tested and will therefore be willing 
to let any farmer have a sample for experimenting. A Prepara 
tion to destroy all the insects infecting the fields and trees and 
indigenous and exotic plants, may likewise be had for 2s. 
By addressing him at No. 1 Wall-st., any information on his fa¬ 
vorite science of Scolicotoxicology,will be given with despatch. 
M. L. SULLIVANT, of COLUMBUS, Ohio, has for sale Short 
Horn Cattle, Mules, Leicester Sheep, and Berkshire Pigs.
