At the stock sale last Monday, Mr..
Green Bedford was on hand, as usual,
with some of his fine Berkshire pigs.
He sold four. about three months old, at
$40 per head. Mr.. Bedford also had a

notice to Mr.. 3. unsolicited, as we wish
to encourage every person who is en-
deavoring to improve the breeds of our
domestic animals.
