useful in Others; but we are persuaded,
that unless when it affords uudoub,ed evil
dence OF general forwardness Of the crop,
i, leads to very pernicious results, and that
on the presen, occasion, it would be The
part of wisdom and prudence with the
Planters. TO refrain from this Improbable
rivalry. The growing crop. is unlucs-
tionably, very backward. and though n
aiugle bale Of Cotton migh' be sent to mar.

before you purchase. which Is better than

you are compelled 10 buy your pig in II

worse; for though you may see your re.

With regard Ia sending North Tor i'm,

pair Of Berkshire pigs. including the ex-
pensa oil transportation, delivered IN Col

$40 TO SI5. We speak with certain
knowledge on this subject. And Jon can
purchase the progeny ofIhis imported pair,
after they have been improved Ly The very
best ,realmeul. for $40 pair, a, two
months old. Here is not ou!y a saving OF
$50. but you get animals already acci'na'
ted, and have 10 run none Of the risk OF

think. 10 purchase from breeders of calah-
lishcd reputation, at the North, than Wes
