ALLEN, STEPHENS & CO., 
In placing this LAWN MOWER before the Public for the 
season of 1871, it needs no recommendation, as it has a world¬ 
wide celebrity. With the improvements recently added to 
this favorite Mower, we are fully warranted in saying it. has 
no equal in the WORLD. And its Immense sale lor the last 
80 days throughout the United States is sufficient proof of 
the above assertion and of its great superiority. This Lawn 
Mower is constructed upon truly scientific principles, and it 
Is the only perfectly balanced Lawn Mower ever made, 
operated by a bail and adjustable handle, points that are in¬ 
dispensable, securing ease of operating, and a perfect, beau¬ 
tiful, and level cut. 
The Hill’s “Archimedean” 
was the first (and original) balanced LAWN MOWER 
invented in this country or any other, was patented in the 
United States and Great Britain, and its invention brought 
into general use a machine that is now a necessity, and 
almost an indispensable article. All others now made are 
copies of this machine, and the public are cautioned against 
them.

ESSEX’ PUGS. 
I keep no other breed of pigs except the Essex. 
Taking every tiling into consideration, I regard them as 
the best, purest, most refined, quietest, and most thoroughly 
established breed of pigs now extant. 
I do not know that they have a single fault. 
I have never heard any one who examined them carefully 
object to them except on the ground of color. 
They are a black breed. 
I have heard many farmers say: “ If they were only white, 
they would be perfect.” This, of course, is mere prejudice. 
When dressed, they are as white as the whitest, and the 
lard is firmer arid whiter than that of any white hog I have 
ever seen. 
“ But are they not too small ? " They are classed with the 
small breeds, but they will dress over 400 lbs. They are 
quite large enough. They are the largest of the small 
breeds—larger than the small Berkshire?, and much larger 
than the Prince Albert Suffolks, small Yorkshires, or 
Neapolitans. 
So far as I know, I have the largest stock of pure-bred 
Essex In the United States, and I think my pigs are at least 
as good as any pure-bred Essex to be found in England. 
My prices arc reasonable, and I feel certain that I can 
give good satisfaction to all who favor me with their 
orders. 
lily spring pigs are the best I have ever raised, and I am 
selling sow pigs at reduced rates.
