friends we called to see some Berkshire
pigs, owned by our friend, w. J. Winn.
We were surprised to see such beauties, fine,
fat, plump and pretty. The sow is about
one years old, and take them altogether,
they are about as fine as we ever saw. There
are number of other of our citizens who
have a fine lot of Berkshires and China hogs,
which would take the premium at any fair.

turbed sway in his garden, thereby destroy
ing the worms wherever they appear.
