I MPROVED STOCK OF ALL KINDS. — HAVING HAD 
great experience in breeding and rearing fine stock for 
the past twenty years, I offer my services to my friends to 
procure it of the best and most reliable kinds. As much no¬ 
tice as convenient is at all times desirable previous to pur¬ 
chasing, as it takes time to make good selections. Early in 
August or September is the best time to purchase for the 
South. 
Short Horn or Durham cattle, Devons, Herefords, Alderney 
or Jersey and Ayrshires. Long-wooled Sheep—the Cotswold 
Oxford, Leicester, Bakewell, and Lincoln. Mutton Sheep— 
the Southdown. Fine-wooled Sheep—such as the Saxon, Span¬ 
ish, and French Merino. 
The public should be on their guard in purchasing improved 
stock, as many animals are palmed off upon the unsuspecting 
and ignorant, which are spurious. a-'' „ mw
