ESSEX PIGS. 
X keep no other breed of pigs except the Essex. 
Taking everything 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 tlie 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 and 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 tlian the small Berkshires, and much larger 
than the Prince Albert Suffolks, small Yorkshires, or 
Neapolitans. 
So far as I know, I have tlie largest stock of pure-bred 
Essex in tlie United States, and I think my pigs are at least 
as good as any pure-bred Essex to be found in England. 
My prices are reasonable, and I feel certain that I can 
give good satisfaction to all who favor me with tlielr 
orders. 
My spring pigs are the best I have ever raised, and I am 
selling sow pigs at reduced rates.
