Rodgers of Chappells recent ly killed two fine Essex pigs, 10 months old, raised on pasture, that netted 300 pounds each, and one Eng lish Berkshire two years old that net ted 700 pounds. This is a fine result and only shows what can be done by intelligent care and industry. Mr. Rodgers says that after an ex perience of niany breeds lie would ad vise a eross of an Essex male onl an English Berkshire sow. He thinks pigs 12 months old -from this cross would easily net 400 to 500 pounds. One desirable feature about this is this hog is easily fatentd at any age. We commend the exaiple of Mr. Rod gers to our enterprising farmers, and we should like to hear from others. Presbyterian BrotherhoodI of Aveligh Church.
