My fall pigs are all sold. And I should esteem it a favor 
if those who intend buying spring pigs from me would order 
early. I have a number of very superior breeding sows, and 
hope to he able to furnish choice pigs. I keep five stock 
boars, three of which are of entirely distinct strains, hut all 
pure Essex. This enables me to furnish pigs not akin, and 
well suited to start a herd for breeding purposes. 
My prices for such choice, thorough-bred stock are quite 
moderate, and I take special pains to select such pigs as will 
mate well together. 
My rule Is to enter orders on receipt of five dollars, and 
when the pigs arc old enough to wean, parties who have or¬ 
dered pigs are notified in their turn, and on receipt of the 
balance of the money the pigs are put in light, strong boxe3, 
furnished with food for the journey, and delivered at the 
express office without extra charge. I guarantee the safe 
delivery of the pigs. 
I should be glad to receive orders from the readers of the 
American Agriculturist. I think I can safely promise to 
give them good satisfaction.

TAYLOR’S GREAT COMPOUND 
HORSE and CATTLE FOOD. 
The unprecedented success that has marked the introduc¬ 
tion of this food is beyond parallel. It has given satisfaction. 
in every case. Horses fed with this food have rapidly re¬ 
covered from the weakening and debilitating effects of the 
recent epidemic, and are now healthy examples of the good 
results of nutritious treatment. It has also ljeen used with 
equal beneficial effects witli cattle, sheep, swine, and even 
chickens. It is a sure cure for hots and worms in horses, 
and the other incidental diseases of the young horse. It en¬ 
tirely eradicates chicken cholera, fattens oxen, enriches the 
milk of cows, and purifies the blood of all animals. 
Manufactured exclusively by the MANHATTAN FEED 
MILLS COMPANY. N. B. Taylor, President.

1,500,000 ACRES 
OF THE 
Most Fertile and Eligibly Located Lands, 
Suitable for FARMING and GRAZING, are offeree 
FOR SALE to actual settlers, on the most liberal terms, 
by the ST. JOSEPH AND DENVER CITY 
RAILROAD COMPANY, lying along their line of 
road in the State of Nebraska. 
The superior advantages that these lands possess in point 
of location, lying on the direct highway running East and 
West between New York and San Francisco, are at a glance 
comprehended by every one looking to a rapid increase in 
the value of real estate and farming^ands. 
The SOIL is DEEP and RICH, and produces the 
heaviest Grain Crops in the country. The temperature of 
this section of the United States is particularly favorable 
for raising Fruits and all kinds of Garden Vegetables to 
perfection, and as a grazing country it even excels Kansas, 
not only in point of the luxuriance of its grasses, but from 
the absence of the fly that troubles cattle. This section has 
abundance of good water, and is destined to become before 
long the fattening grounds of the large herds in the West. 
The climate is the most even and salubrious. The most 
liberal facilities will be extended to settlers on these lands.
