“ESSEX PIGS. 
Last year, several readers of the American Agriculturist 
purchased Essex pigs from me. 
So far as I have heard, they have given good satisfaction. 
I keep only pure Essex, and breed them with great care. 
Last spring, I could not fill all my orders, and, much to 
my own regret and the loss of the intending purchaser, was 
obliged to return the money. 
This spring I expect to be able to furnish very superior 
pigs, and shall be glad if those wishing to buy pure Essex 
from me will order early.
