Education. —lt is unjust and dangerous to
hold out false lights to young persons; for,
finding that their guides hove in oue respect
designedly led them astray, they may be led
likewise to reject as untrue all else they have
been taught j and so nothing but disappoint
ment, error, and rebellion, can be the con
sequence.
Let girls, advancing to womanhood, be
told the true state of the world with which
they are to mingle. Let them know its real
opinions on the subjects connected with
themselves as women, companions, friends,
relatives. Hide not from them what socie
ty thinks and expects on all these matters;
bur fail not to show them, at the same time,
where the fashions of the day would lead
them wrong —where the laws of heaven and
man’s approving (though not always submit
ting) reason, would keep them aright.
Let religion and morality be the founda
tion of the female character. The artist may
then adorn the structure without any danger
to its safety. When a girl is instructed on
the great purpose of her existence; that she
is an immortal being, as well as a mortal wo
man ; you may, without fearing ill impres
sions, show her, that as we admire the beau
ty of the rose, as well as esteem its medici
nal power, so her personal charms will be
dear in the eyes of him whose heart is occu-
Eied by the graces of her yet more estima
le mind. We may safely teach a well-ed
ucated girl that virtue ought to wear an in
viting aspect; that itis duetohcrexcellence
to decorate her comely apparel. But we
must never cease to remember that it is vir
tue we seek to adorn. It must not be a
merely beautiful form ; for that, if it possess
not the charm of intelligence, the bond of
rational tenderness, is a frame without a soul;
a statue, which we look on and admire, pass
away and forget it. We must impress upon
the yet ingenuous maid, that while beauty
attracts, its influence is transient, unless it
presents itself as the harbinger of that good
sense and principle, which can alone secure
the affection of a husband, the esteem of
friends, and the respect of the world. Show
her that regularity of features and symmetry
of form are not essentials in the composition
of the woman whom the wise man would se
lect as the partner of his life. Seek, as an
example, someone of your less fair acquain
tance, whose sweet disposition, gentle man
ners, and winning deportment, render her
the delight of her kindred, the dear solace of
her husband. Show your young and lovely
pupil what use this amiable woman has made
of her few talents ; and then call on her to
cultivate her more extraordinary endow
ments to the glory of her Creator, the hon
or of her parents, and to the maintenance of
her own happiness in both worlds. To do
this, requires that her aims should be virtu
ous, and the means she employs to reach
them, of the same nature.
Dress. —When innocence left the world,
astonished man blushed at his own and li s
partner’s nakedness, and coverings were soon
invented. For many an age the twisted fo
liage of trees, nnd the skins of beasts, were
the only garments which clothed our ances
tors. Decoration wns unknown, excepting
the wild flower, plucked from the luxuriant
shrub, the shell from the beach, or the berry
off the tree. Nature was then unsophistica
ted ; and the lover needed no other attraction
to his bride’s embrace, than the peach-bloom
on her cheek, the downcast softness of her
consenting eye.
- In after times, when Avarice ploughed the
earth and. Ambitson bestrode it, th’e gem and
the silken fleece, the various product of the
loom, and the Tyrian mystery of dyes, all
united to give embellishment to beauty, and
splendor to majesty of mien. But even at
that period, when the east and south laid their
decorating riches at the feet of women, we
see, by the sculpture yet remaining to us,
that the dames of Greece (the then exemplars
of the world) were true to tho simple law of
just taste. The amply’ folding robe, cast
round the harmonious form ! tho modest clasp
and zone on the bosom ; the braided hair,
or the veiled head; these were the fashions
alike of the wife of a Phocion nnd the mis.
tress of an Alcibiades. A chastened taste
ruled at their toilets ; and from that hour to
this, the forms and modes of Greece have
been those of the poet, the sculptor and the
painter.
Rome, the queen of the world! the proud
dictatress to Athenian and Spartan dames,
disdained not to array herself in their digni
fied attire; and the statues of her virgins,
her matrons, and her empresses, show, in ev
ery portico of her ancient streets, the grace
ful fashions of her Grecian province.
The irruption of the Goths and Vandals
made it needful for women to assume n more
repulsive garb. The flowing robe, the easy
snfipe, tnenson, umeuerea nalr, gave place to
skirts, shortened for flight or contest—to the
hardened vest, and head buckled in gold or
silver.
Thence, by a natural descent, havo we
the iron bodice, stiff farthingale, and spiral
coiffure of the middle ages. The courts of
Charlemagne, of Edwards, Henries,’ and
Elizabeth, all exhibit the figures of women
as if in a state of siege. Such lines ol cir
cumvaiiaiioii and outworks—such impregna
ble bulwarks of whalebone, wood, and steel;
such impassable mazes of gold, silver, silk
and futhelows, met a man’s view, that, be
fore lie had time to guess it was a woman
that he saw, she had passed from his sight;
and he only formed a vague wish on the sub
ject, by hearing, from an interested father or
brother, that the moving castle was one of
the softer s x.
When the arts of sculpture nnd painting,
in their fine specimens, from the chisels of
Greece and the pencils of Italy, were brought
into England, taste began to mould the dress
of our female youth after their more grace
ful fashion. The health-destroying bodice
was laid aside—brocades and whalebone dis
appeared ; and the easy shape and flowing
drapery again resumed the rights of nature
and of
Thus, for a short time, did the ’Graces in
deed preside nt the toilet of British beauty.
Bat a strange capric3 seems now to have dis
lodged these gentle handmaids. Wc see im
modesty on one side, unveiling the too redun-
dant bosom ; on the other, deformity, once
more drawing the steeled bodice upon the
bruised ribs. Here stands affectation, distor
ting the form into a thousand unnaturalshapes
—and there, ill taste, loading it with grotes
que ornaments, gathered (nnd mingled con
fusedlj) from Grecian nnd Roman models,
from Egypt, China, Turkey, and Hindostan.
All nations are ransacked to equip a modern
fine lady—and, after all, she may perhaps
strike a cotemporary beau as a fine lady, but
no son of nature could, at a glance, possibly
find out that she meant to represent an ele
gant woman.
Deportment. —To preserve the health of the
human form is the first object of considera
tion. With its health, we necessarily main
tain its symmetry and improve its beauty.
The foundation of a just proposition in all
parts must belaid in infancy. A light dress,
which gives freedom to the functions of life
and action, is the best adapted to permit un
obstructed growth ; for thence the young fi
bres, uninterrupted by obstacles of art, will
shoot harmoniously into the form which na
ture drew. The garb of childhood should in
nil respects be easy ; not to impede its move
ments by ligatures on the chest, the loins, the
legs, or arms. By this liberty we shall see
the muscles of the limbs gradually assume
the fine swell and insertion which only un
constrained exercise can produce; the shape
will sway gracefully on the firmly poised
waist; the chest will rise in noble and heal
thy expanse ; and the .human figure will start
forward at the blooming age of youth matur
ing into the fujj perfection of unsophisticated
nature.
The lovely form of woman, thus educated,
or rather, thus left to the true bias of its ori
ginal mould, puts on a variety of interesting
characters. In one youthful figure, we see
the lineaments of a wood-nymph ; a form
slight and clastic in all its parts. The shape,
“small by degrees and beautifully less, from
the soft bosom to the slender waist!” a foot,
light ns that of her whose flying step scarce
ly brushed the “ unbending corn;” nnd limbs,
whose agile grace moved in gay harmony
with the turns of her swan-like neck and
sparkling eyes.
Another fair one appears with the chasten
ed dignity of a vestal. Her proportions are
of a less aerial outline. As she draws near,
we perceive that the contour of her figure is
on a broader, a less flexible scale, than that
of her more ethereal sister. Euphrosync
speaks in the one, Melpomene in the other.
Between these two lie the whole range of
female character in form. And in propor
tion as the figure approaches the one extreme
or the other, we call it grave or gay, majestic
or graceful. Not but that the same person
may, by a happy combination of charms,
unite these qualities in different degrees, ns
we sometimes see graceful majesty and majes
tic grace. And,certainly, without the com
manding figure softens the ar plitude of its
contour with a gentle elegance, it may pos
sess a sort of regal consequence, but it will
he that of a heavy and harsh importance.
But, unless the slight and airy form, full of
youth and animal spirits, s"|*erad(ls to these
attractions the grace of a restraining dignity,
her vivacity wiil be deemed levity, and her
activity the romping of a wild hoyden.
Young women must, therefore, when they
present themselves to the world, not implicit,
iy fashion their demeanors according to the
levelling rules of the generality of school
governesses; but, considering the character
of their figures, allow their deportment, nnd
select their dress, to follow the bias of nature.

The Joys of Home. —O, what so refresh
ing, so soothing, so satisfying, as the placid
joys of home !
See the traveller. Does duty call him for
a season to leave his beloved circle 1 The
image of his earthly happiness continues viv
idly in his remembrance. It quickens him
to diligence; it cheers him under difficulties;
it makes him hail the hour which sees his
purpose accomplished, and his face turned
towards home ; it communes with him as he
journeys ; and he hears the promise which
causes him to hope “ thou shalt know also
that thy tabernicle shall be in peace ; and
thou shalt visit thy habitation and not sin.”
O, the joyful re-union of a divided family—
the pleasures of a renewed interview and
conversation after days of absence.
Behold the man of science. He drops the
labor and painfulr.ess of research, closes his
volume, smooths his wrinkled brow, leaves
his study, and, unbending himself, stoops to
the capacities, yields to the wishes, and min
gles with the diversions of his children.
“ He will not blush tint lias n father s heart,

That youth tukes pleasure in to please his boy.”
Take the man of trade. What reconciles
him to the toil of business ? What enables
him to endure the fastidiousness and imper
tinence of customers I What rewards him
for so many hours of tedious confinement ?
By and by the season of intercourse will ar
rive ; he will be embossomed in the caress
es of his family ; he will behold the desire of
his eyes, and the children of his love, for
whom he resigns his case ; and in their wel
fare and smiles he will find his recompense.
Yonder comes the laborer. He has borne
the burden and heat of the day; the descend
ing sqn has released him from his toil, and
he is hastening home to enjoy repose. Half
way down the lane, by the side of which
stunds his cottage, his children run to meet
him; one ho carries, and one he leads. The
companion of his humble life is ready to
furnish him with his plain repast. See, his
toil-worn countenance assumes an air of
cheerfulness; his hardships are forgotten ;
fatigue vanishes ; he eats and is satisfied;
the evening fair, he walks witli uncovered
bead around his garden ; enters again and
retires to rest, and, “ the rest of a laboring
man is sweet, whether he eat little or much.”
Inhabitant of this lonely, lovely dwelling,
who can be indifferent to thy comfort!—
“ Peace be to this house.”
“ Let not ambition mock thy useful toil,
Thy homely joys, and destiny obscure ;
Nor grandeur hoar with a disdainful smile,

Baths. —ln advancing the highest degree
of civilized refinement, which we trust the
American people are fast attaining, there
remains one capital defect. The luxurious
indulgence of the bath in the hurry of busi
ness avocation is too often overlooked. Fre
quent bathings, we are told by medical men,
is greatly conducive to health, and its salu
brious effects on the human system will more
than compensate him who indulges in it for
the expense and loss of time in the opera
tion. No matter what may be our avoca
tions, if of a sedentary or'stirring character,
a bath will fit us for doubling our energies in
the pursuit alotted to us. The mental qual
ities depends so much on the grosser organs,
that these last should be kept in tune in or
der to insure excellence of thought,or sharp
ness of our wits.
The importance of bathing is generally
more fully appreciated in countries approach
ing the equator, than in higher latitudes. In
bilious countries it is of incalculable advan
tage. Emigrants from a Northern to a more
Southern latitude should not fail to indulge
extensively in the tepid bath, taking care not
to remain emersed too long so as to weaken
or enervate their systems.
The importance of bathing has engaged
the attention of those who have been en
trusted with the government of men in all
ages. Oriental princes may have been os
tentatious in the elegant display of highly
finished baths, but they were aware of the
utility of this luxurious indulgence.
In the happiest periods of Grecian and
Roman greatness, the leading men in public
affairs sought distinction by the construction
of public baths. Such benefactions, perhaps
gave them more just claims to become illus
trious than their military achievements and
conquests.
Birth. —While some people hold in ven
eration exalted birth and an acquaintance
from infancy with what are termed the high
er and more refined ranks in society, we
must confess that we have always regarded
with peculiar respect and esteem those who
are styled self-made men. Every well reg
ulated mind will affix all due appreciation to
the worth and talent which have their birth
in high station, and sustain or elevate them
selves in their intercourse with the world,
but there isasomething peculiarly command
ing and entitled to veneration in the moral
and intellectual strength which, vanquishing
every obstacle in the way of poverty and
want of opportunity, places itself abovethose
more highly favored. In looking through
the histories of great men in our own and
other countries, we will find a large majority
of those who have filled the most prominent
stations in active life, composed of men who
have been the makers of their own fortunes.
If we seek for the cause of such a state of
things, it may perhaps be found in the stim
ulus of rivalry incident to a necessity for ex
ertion, and the distaste for mental or physi
cal labor which usually accompanies ample
enjoyment of the world’s goods. While in
the one case, enterprise and assiduity better
the condition at every step, and procure
comparative superiority for the aspirants, in
their own eyes at least, for fame ; in the oth
er, the native exaltation is such as to place
their possessors above these influences, and
cause them to look down upon their fellow
creatures. He who has to climb from the
depths of the valley to the far off mountain
top, acquires activity of limb and strength of
muscle from his toilsome task, while the
more foitunate individual, who can recline
at his ease within reach of the summit, be
comes enervated and unfitted for the task of
arriving at it,from the very fact that his pow
ers have not been braced by the toil of sur
mounting the difficulties beneath him.
Honesty. —What is to be prized above
honesty 1 It is the clerk’s highest recom
mendation, the trader’s surest guarantee of
business ; the merchant’s best endorser, tlie
clergyman’s most shining virtue. Come
what will—hard times or good—sickness or
health, life or death, his character is safe.—
He courts the strictest scrutiny, and always
shines the better for a good rubbing.
Honesty and Justice. —He only is worthy
of esteem that knows what is just and hon
est, and dares do it; that is master of his
own passions, and scorns to be a slave to
another’s. Such a one> the lowest pover
ty, is a far better man, and merits more res
pect, than those gay things who owe all their
greatness and reputation to their rentals and
revenues.— Dr. Fuller.
Cunning and Vanity. —Cunning is a sub
stitute for wisdom, adopted by the weak of
intellect, as vanity is for pride.
Imagination. —The heart is often made
answerable for the follies of the imagination.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
To destroy ticks on Sheep. —Take Scotch
snuff, open the wool on the back of the sheep
from head to tail, dust in a small quantity,
so as barely to color the felt—do the same
on tho belly—pursue the same process by
making a ring around the neck near the
head, and another near the shoultles, and a
fourth around the body near the flank of the
sheep. The odor of the snuff will diffuse
itself through the whole fleece in such a
manner as to destroy the ticks in the course
of two or three days, and will not itijuvetlie
sheep or the wool. In order to apply a suit
able quantity and no more of the snuff, pro
cure a tin pepper box, and have the cap like
a tunnel with five or six small holts at the
small end of the cover—fill with Si uff, then
use it in the patted wool as you i ould the
pepper box, if ihe old sheep was ci iked for
dinner. I can say from experie ce, this,
process will not fail of the desired fleet.
Cement for porcelain, glass and stone. —
This cement is a natural produt, which
without being abundant, is in suffici it quan
tities for ordinary purposes. T e large
Snails which are found iti gardens at woods,
and which sometimes have been ised for
food, have a vesicle, at the extre ities of
their bodies, which contains a whitish sub
stance, having a greasy and gelatinous ap
pearance. If it is applied between two
surfaces, whatever be their hardness and com
pactness, and the surfaces be brought to
gether throughout, so strong an adhesion is
ultimately formed, that if violent means be
resorted to, they frequently break elsewhere,
than at the juncture. A flint about the size
of a peach, having been broken in two
pieces and joined by this cement, being
thrown with violence on the pavement,broke
into fragments, by fractures, crossing the
first one, but not along with it. All that is
necessary, in order to give the cement its
full power, is to allow it time to dry.
To jrrescrve potatoes in a dried state. —
Wash them, cut them in pieces, steep them
4S hours, in fresh water, and dry them in an
oven. One hundred parts of fresh potatoes,
will give thirty so prepared and dried. In
this state they can be kept for years, or
ground into flour, which mixed with one
third rye, makes excellent bread.
To kill skippers in cheese. —The juice of
elder leaves will kill skippers in clieeso, ba
con, &c., and strong decoctions of the leaves
or root, are fatal to insects, which depredate
on plants in the garden.

FEEDING ON COTTON SEED.
Near Clinton, April 28/A, 1842.
In your valuable number of the Bth inst.,
I read some suggestions from a correspon
dent and from yourselves, in relation to
feeding on cotton seed; and as neither of
you have mentioned the plan, upon which I
think they can be most usefully prepared, I
will give the result of my experience and
my plan to the public.
I have a large kettle, which holds from &
to 6 bushels, set upon a brick furnace, (which
is less than one day’s work for a mason to
make.) I fill my kettle with water, and boil
something less than half an hour. Then
empty the seed into troughs, and let my cat
tle and hogs go to them. The milk and
butter has. none of that cotton seed taste,
which the green or uncooked seed give.—
Both cattle and hogs will keep in good or
der, winter and summer, on seed thus pre
pared ; and when you are ready to fatten
pork, you have only to add an equal quanti
ty of cotton seed and corn, and boil as above.
Experience has proved to me that it will
fatten sooner, and be equally good as when
fattened on corn alone. Your cows will
give an abundance of milk all winter, when
fed in this manner, with but one bushel of
corn to four of cotton seed. Everyone is
aware of the advantage of boiling turnips,
turnip greens and cabbage for the human
stomach. The boiling of cotton-seed is not
less advantageous as food for stock. Be
sides, there is great economy in feeding
seed thus prepared. By the usual method
in feeding, there is more than double the
quantity of seed wasted than are consumed
by the stock.
So far as 1 have beard, every person who
has ever tried this plan, has been well pleas
ed with it.
Very respectfully,
D. O. WILLIAMS.
From the Central New York Farmer.
Culture of the Strawberry. —After so much
has been said and done to induce farmers to
devote a small portion of their land and labor
to the purposes of horticulture, it is aston
ishing they should be willing to deny their
families the luxuries which a garden and
fruit-yard furnish, —and be content to set
down to a meal of “pot-luck,” at least three
bundled and sixty-five times in the year. If
a farmer would be a “good liver,” his farm
and garden must furnish bis wife with the
“wherewith,” or he must not complain if
she sets a poor dinner before him. If he
loves cherry puddings, he must set out cher
ry trees befote finding fault with his wife for
not making them. If he is fond of quince,
currant or goose berry preserves, his wife
will be delighted to put them on the table;
but it is to be hoped he will be good natured,
if she does not—if there is nothing but pig
weeds and potato tops in the garden from
which she can gather them. Among the
numerous kinds of fruits which are indispen
sable to good living, is the strawberry. Be
sides being'a most delicious desert fruit, it is
considered by medical men, a valuable
medicine in several diseases; particularly
putrid fevers and pulmonary consumptions.
A free use of strawberries it is said, will
both prevent and cure the rheumatism.—
Every farmer’s wife ought to consider her
dinner table incompletely furnished, for at
least four weeks in the heat of the summer,
unless it has upon it a dish of strawberries
and cream. She ought also to consider her
tea table deficient, unless strawberry jam is
among her preserves and sweetmeats—and
who does not love now and then a bowl of
strawberries and milk. 1 But while we insist
that every tarmo.’. , a ,
table with delicious fruit, we would not
compel her daughters “to go a straw berry
ing” in the old fashioned way their grand
mothers did; even were they so extrava
gantly fond of strawberries as to ramble
about the fields with their sun bonnets on
their bead and baskets in their hands after
them. If farmers would have strawberries,
they must devote a small portion of their
garden to the cultivation of them. There
are several varieties of excellent flavor, and
by a proper selection and a little labor a full
supply may he had through theseason. The
ordinary method of cultivation is to prepare
the ground by manuring and spading, and
transplant in August. The distance between
the rows should be about eighteen or twen
ty inches, and betwixt the plants, from ten
to fifteen inches, according to the varieties.
The runners the first year are cut off, just
before they take root. The second year the
runners are permitted to take their course,
filling up the spaces between the plants, and
producing ordinarily a good crop of large
sized strawberries. Some lay down straw
or grass for the runners to run upon. The
utility of this is manifest in many respects,
but especially in keeping the fruitfrom com
ing in contact with the earth, by which it
would be injured by the dirt. After the fruit
is gathered, the straw should be removed
and the plants cleared of weeds. They
should be transplanted every second year.

Berkshire Ilogs.
THE subscriber having been for some time engaged
-*• in raising Berkshire stock, would inform those who
feel desirous of improving their Hogs, that he has now
on hand eight or ten SUPERIOR SOWS, selected
from the stock of the best breeders at the North, viz :
From Mr Lossing, of Albany, New-York, one sow ;
from Mr. C. N. Bement, of Three Hills Farm, near Al
bany, three sows ; and trom Messrs. A. & G. Brentnnll,
of Canterbury, New-York, three sows—together with
some ol my own raising, the produce of some of the
above named sows. 1 have also a boar from Mr. Los
sing, and a very superior boar from Mr. Bement.
My stock of hogs are the produce of the most cele
brated boars ever iMPoRTEn into this country, among
which may be mentioned Reading, Black Prince, Siday,
Ontario, and Jack of New burg, who are too well known
to require comment. My boar “ Marquis,” purchased
from Mr. Bentent, was pronounced by that gentleman
superior in point of form to his celebrated boar “Rip
Von Winkle,” (his half-brother,) who received the first
prize at the Fair of the New-York State Agricultural
Society, held at Syracuse in September last. I have
also a full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr. Be
ment, whose produce by Marquis, I shall have to dis
pose of this fall. I have one pair of White Hogs, a
large English breed, imported direct frooi England, and
landed in Savannah in June Inst; and also a very su
perior Berkshire sow, imported direct, who wiil shortly
arrive.
Those who wish to ascertain the quality of my stock
are referred to a communication from Mr. Bement, in
the May number of the Cultivator, accompanying the
ftortrait of Rip Van Winkle, in which he says : “lsent
nst year to Mr. John Bonnet, of White Plains, Georgia,
several breeding sows, and no one, 1 assure you, has
been more rigid or particular to procure the pure blood,
and the best animals too. Applicants for pigs, in that
section, may depend on procuring from him the real
‘simeon purcs.’” I deem it but justice to myself to
state, that at the Fair ol the “ Planter’s Club,” of Han
cock County, held at Sparta, on the 6th of December
last, the only prize awarded for a boar, was given to
“ Black John,” a pig lour months and twelve days old,
and weighing 166 pounds that day. The above pig was
bred by myself and sold to Mr A. E W. Brown, near
Sparta, and was the only one of mv stock that was
present at the Fair.
It is necessary also to state that full and written ped
igrees, running back to the original stock imported
from England, will be given of every pig pur
chased from me, together with a certificate of age.
To the produce of the sow purchased from Mr Lossing
I can give no pedigree on the mother's side, not having
been able to procure one from him. 1 have been par
ticularly careful to obtain full and correct pedigrees, not
only for the purpose of procuring the best stock, but
because without them, no breeder can ascertain wheth
er or not he is really crossing his stock, which is ad
mitted by all to be very essential. I believe that I have
been at more trouble and greater expense, than any
other man in Georgia, in obtaining the very best hogs,
invariably ordering the best without limitation of price.
I have contracted for, and will receive this fall, from
Mr. A. B. Allen, ol Buffalo, New-York, a very superi
or young hoar, the produce of his best importation of
last fall; so that I shall constantly have n cross from
the best nnd most celebrated boars, both of this coun
try and England. Persons wishing to procure the gen
ceive those that are not only lull blooded, but pure as
imported. 1 Ireely challenge a comparison of my s-ock
with that of any other breeder of Berkshjres in Geor
gia, and am confident that they will prove themselves
equal, if not superior, to any in the State. At any rale
I am perfectly willing that the character of my stock
should be either raised or sunk by the event of such a
comparison. Os this fact, however, the put,lie may
rest assured, that I am determined not to be surpas
sed,nnd if Ido not have the best hogs, it will be be
cause money will not procure them. My Sows will
commence littering in July or August, after which time
I shall he pleased to furnish pigs to any who may fuvor
me with their orders. My price for pigs is invariably
Twenty Dollars per pair; no pigs heing offered for sale
that are not fully equal to those sold by other breeders.
The hospitality of my house will be freely extended to
all who may pay me a visit, either with a view of pur
chasing pigs, or for the pleasure of viewing fine stock.
JOHN BONNER.
P. S. Orders for Pigs accompanied with the Cash,
will always secure n preference; otherwise, the first
applicants will be first served, nnd due notice given
when the pigs will be ready for delivery.
