Seasonable suggestions to Cultivators and

White Pigs-large, Middle and Small Breeds.
Notwithstanding the superiority of
some of the black breeds of pigs, and
in spite of the fact that the color, un-
like beauty, is not even "skin-deep, {"
the blackcst pigs dressing quite as
white as the whitest, there is, IN this
country, in the Northern States at
least. prejudice against black pigs.
In the Southern States, in localities
where the pigs run at large, and the
Pairt-root grows, it is black pigs or
none at all. White pigs, if they feed
upon Paint-root (Lachnanthes tine
torta), become completely blind, and
their hoofs drop off, while the black
pigs can eat the plant without appar-
ent injury. This singular fact ac-
counts for the prevalence of black pigs
in many Southern localities. There
are counties in England in which there
are prejuices against white animals,
and others in which only black pigs
are tolerated. While in the Western
States the prejudice against swine that
are black, in whole or in part, is rapid
ly disappearing, it remains quite
strong in many of the older States,
where those who keep but few swine,
or who raise the "family pig" almost
Invariably prefer white animals. Not
withstanding that the black pigs pre-
sent some of the most striking illus
trations of skillful breeding, and are
the perfection of form, and of swinish
beauty, people are prejudiced against
them by early associations. Their
first knowledge of pigs was gained
from white ones, and in their minds,
white is the proper color for pigs.
The number of so-called breeds of
white pigs known in England, was at
one time very large; slight variation,
such as we may expect in strain,
was given distinctive local name,
and called breed. English breeders
took long step in simplifying PIG
nomenclature when they grouped pigs
by their cOlors and sizes, and gave us
large and small breeds of white pigs.
In 1852, we'll known English breeder
exhibited at one of the important fairs,
several pigs of extraordinary merit,
but too large to be JUDGED among the
small white breed, and not large
enough for the Large Whites. The
animals were 50 remarkably fine that
they could not be disqualified. The
Judges met the difficulty by making a
third class, calling it the Middle White
breed. Since then, while only tho
large and small black breeds have
been admitted, the white pigs have
three breeds, the Large, Middle and
Small White

MEXICAN SMUGGLING.
How Pennsylvsnla Products Get Across
the Line without Paying Duty.

How Pennsylvania Products Get Across
the Line without Paying Duty.
From the Pitto6urg Cozsmercja1- Gazette.
Pittsburg manufacturers are branching
out in all directions and find a trade
wherever they can. Within the past few
years very large trade has been built up
with Mexico and quantities of all the
city's productions go down there. Iron
and steel in all shapes and glassware are
shipped there. The iron and steel which
goes is generaly too heavy to be smuggled,
but there are plenty of opportunities in
the lighter forms and in glassware of all
kinds. Now, while a great deal of this
glassware pays the Mexican duty, more
of it goes in free.
Along the northern border of Mexico is
a strip Of country known as ''the neutral
zone" Into this Amerlcan-made goods
can 90 free Of duty, but to get from there
into Mexico proper,a heavy tariff must be
paid. In some instances this tariff runs
as high as 300 per cent. This strip of ter
ritOry may have been for the purpose of
building up MatamOras as free city,
since it is situated in the neutral zone. II
is something after the plans OF 'bonds"
in New York, for instance, by which
goods bound for Canada can be placed in
without paying any tariff.
Tue method of procedure is very sim
pie. Some one in FL PasO, for instance,
orders three car loads OF glassware from
4 Pittsburg manufacturer. 1t is shipped
10 him, and in small or large quantities it
is carried over into the neutral zone.
Once there, regular bands of smugglers
take charge Of IL, and in small quantities
IL Is carried over the line. Sometimes

medicine. Tbese are but few of he
tricks employed, aud it would be surpris-
ing and interesting, too, If all Of them
could be collected. Some OF the manu-
iacturers mere receive LETTERS every now
