Hardiness of Improved Stock.
I am somewhat surprised at the position Dr. Brown takes in reply to my
answer to his former article on the above
named subject. Science is of course based
on facts, or it is not science. That does
no prove, however, that scientific men
are always right. To assert that the
mustang of Texas or Mexico, the cayuse
pony of the upper Rocky mountains, or
the broncho horse of California, are equal
in endurance, and can stand privation
equally, with the well-bred horse, is to assert that which is so generally known to
be untrue that everybody in the far West
knows the fact.
I have straddled the cayuse and have
packed with him in the mountains. I
have driven the broncho over the wagon
roads there, and I have rode and driven
what is there termed the "Americ*an
horse," and I know that the wild horse
bears no comparison to the latter—a
well-bred animal taken from the States
to that country.
To say that the prevalent diseases of
to-day are due to our improved stock is
begging the question; One of the greatest principles underlying an experiment
is to have like conditions, and does any
one attempt to say' that the hogs and
poultry are treated as they were 50 years
ago? Even were they treated exactly the
same that would not prove conclusively
in my mind, nor to the public, that one is
hardier than the other. Great scourges
arise, sometimes from very small causes
and devastate the country. Small-pox
in the human family arises from filth
and a loathsome disease is generated
which attacks and carries away -the
healthiest people. Any one, be he strong
or weak, who exposes himself to its
deadly presence becomes a victim.
"There are epidemics, also, that come
from, no one knows where; they go as
mysteriously as they came. The medical
world is at sea to know anything about
them, only their presence and effects.
There can be no reasonable doubt but
that hog and chicken diseases are epidemic, and at the same time contagious.
The great cattle plague of England, the
foot and mouth disease, was. imported
from the continent of Europe, and was
introduced-by scrubs to the best cared-
for stock in the world. This all goes to
show that epidemics and scourges are
not confined to rules, nor. to breeds.
They are all-prevailing, and no living
thing is proof against then.
The great object to' attain is constitution and vitality. This we have in our
improved stock of to-day. They do not
generate disease as has been maintained,
but they are freer from it than scrub
stock, possessing less vital force than
they have. There are good and sufficient
reasons why the improved stock are
hardier than the scrubs, and among
them I will mention that they have
been developed in their vital organs by
practical and scientific breeders, through
a long series of years—generation after
generation has passed through skilled
hands. These great breeders have not
been mere feeders and nurses. They have
studied the animal structure closely, and
have laid "line upon line"—they have
moulded the animal to their ideas of the
greatest perfection for the uses for which
it is intended. They have not labored
in vain. Their work is an accomplished
fact. The very fact that they have fed
good and wholesome food, and that it has
been fed properly, has rendered the animals stronger, and made them more
ambitious, just as a w-ell-fed man .has
more nerve power than one who is
starved. .Take the skilled breeding and
good feeding together, and our improved
stock have been developed into hardy
animals, able to endure privations and
equally ready to respond to kind treatment and liberal feeding.
These facts are being tested practically
every day. I know several lots of steers
now feeding, that are mixed, some being
scrubs and others well bred. They take
weather as it comes, are fed together and
run together at all times. The well-bred
steers are growing more rapidly, they are
making a better quality of beef, and will
sell for more, by nearly, if not quite,
double, than the scrubs. Here are like
conditions to experiment with. I have
seen stock go to market year after year,
and the well-bred ones always grow-
faster and better on the same care and
feed than the scrubs; I have seen them
stabled alike and exposed to the weather
alike, and the same result has followed*
every time. H.
—Our readers have, in the above, what
H. can say in defense of the theory that
the original typeof any animal, increases
its power to resist disease, and to endure
hardship. When he establishes this theory by actual experiment, he will revolutionize the science of biology. Will
he please exhibit at the next State fair,
a thoroughbred Short-horn which has
run on the commons and lived on thistles during the summer, and let us see
how improved stock will stand such uses?
Until he does this, however, we repeat
our advice—get the best stock you can,
' and take the best possible care of it.—B.

subject is national in its bearings, though
I suppose that the evils connected with
it can only be remedied through the individual action of the several States, and
this it should receive, for the expense of
fencing stock out is enormous and unjust. It is unjust for a person to have to
keep up a fence all around his farm in
order to keep other people's stock out.

A Hopeful Outlook.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
My herds are all hearty and doing
splendidly. Notwithstanding the extremely cold weather we have had this
winter they all look nice and thrifty. I
have the finest and best lot of brood sows
I have ever owned, which are in pig by
my old hogs, Dick Johnson, King of Butler, and other boars. I have had such a
large demand for these favorite strains I
have but a few spring pigs left. I have
a few extra, first-class fall pigs; they are
very fine. They are said by every one
to surpass anything they have ever seen.
I expect a large number of extra pigs
next spring from my large herd of brood
sows. They will commence farrowing
the 10th of this month.

That Dog.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
Hitherto I have taken no part in the
dog controversy. But I would answer
Mr. Porter's communication if I had
time. But here are my sentiments in regard to his article. The dog is a relict of
barbarism, and like the "twin relicts"
dies hard, and we expect to hear him
whine for some time yet. Like dog, like
master. A three-board fence is sufficient
to confine bur flocks anywhere, and for
our own accommodation we need nothing more. Why should we go to the
enormous expense you speak of just for
our neighbors? B. F. Magee.

Prize-Winning Stock.—Messrs. T.
Taylor & Bro., of Waynesville, DeWitt
county, 111., write us that they took over
ers.
It is with no little pleasure we note the
appearance of a more hopeful feeling
among owners of cattle in the West.
This feeling, it seems to us, rests upon
good and substantial reasons. Yet at the
same time inquiries received here show
that there is yet lingering in the minds
of some feeders a feeling of distrust of
the future, and a disposition to sell their
cattle before they are fully ripened.
From time to time we have mentioned
some of the reasons which lead us to
believe that now, if never before, the
stockman of the West should finish his
cattle fully before parting with them, "if
he would get that profit he should have
for handling them, but a brief review of
the more salient points at this time may
not be out of place.
In the first place, there is already a
strong demand existing for heavy, fleshy,
well-bred cattle for shipment to Europe,
and information already given in part in
these columns show that this demand
will probably show a greater growth this
year. Extensive preparations have been
made by exporters for increasing largely
their operations in this traffic. The supplies from Continental Europe have
passed their maximum point, and are
now shrinking, so that Great Britain is
in a measure forced to come to America
for fresh meats. Prices have shrunken
in this country so greatly that we are
able to underbid all competitors in Eng
lish markets, and this fact will continue
to turn the attention of. dealers in that
country toward our markets, and hold
their trade after it shall have been won
The supply of cattle in America, suited
to the wants of foreign markets, is small
In Canada there are probably not more
than 10,000 cattle which exporters will
be able to use this year. As it is estimated by those thoroughly acquainted
with the projected movement of exporters, that 8,000 beeves per week will be
wanted for the English market it is easy
to believe that'the-Canadian resources
will be quickly exhausted. There will
then remain the supplies in the United
States from which to draw, and from
answers to somewhat careful and extended inquiries we are led to believe
that in the States the number of beeves
which can be made fit for this use is
smaller than usual. While this is unfortunate in some respects, it will tend to
raise prices and so benefit the lucky few
who have good cattle.
In most parts of the West the crop of
1878 was abundant and good, and in all
of the Western States hay and grain are
cheap, so that the cost of fattening stock
is smaller than usual. .The weather this
winter has favored feeders greatly, and
stock is in excellent condition, healthy
and thriving. Losses among their cattle
have been small and due entirely to local
causes, usually to the carelessness of owners.
A most encouraging indication is that
feeders express a determination to mature
their stock fully before putting it on the
market this year. It may be that they
will adhere firmly to this resolution, and
resist the temptations offered by sudden
spurts in the markets and the blandishments of the solicitor.   But we fear that
here is need of a vast amount of mis
sionary work among feeders, to teach
them that when they have, in their
opinion, put their beeves in excellent
condition, they have then in fact but little more than half ripened. This is the
greatdifficulty with which dealers in cattle have had to contend. Feeders cannot
be persuaded to finish their cattle as they
should, because most ot them think
their stock good enough—as good as anybody's—as soon as they have put them
in decent condition.—American Stockman.

The Long &  Alstatter Co.
The firm whose name heads this article is intimately associated in the minds
of the older class of our readers with "The
Iron Harvester" once so generally
used throughout the West, and to the
young and rising generation it is destined to again become a household word
in connection with the "Hughes Sulky
Plow" which this firm is now manufacturing at their extensive works in
Hamilton, Ohio. There is no question
among farmers as to the great advantage
Sulky Plows have over hand-plows.
The fact that they are used by thousands,
wherever properly understood, and that
the demand is constantly increasing,
fully establishes this assertion. The
question now is, "Which is the best
Sulky Plow?" We have no hesitation in saying "The. Hughes."
They also manufacture the Hamilton
Adjustable Arch "Bar Share" Cultivator which now stands at the head of
the cultivator family. The proof that
the "Hamilton" is destined to become
the leading cultivator is abundantly
shown in their largely increased sales in
every locality where introduced, and especially where other well known cultivators had long held the field. This firm
with their accustomed liberality have
given a Hughes Sulky Plow and a
Hamilton Cultivator as premiums for
our club agents. Full illustrations and
descriptions of both implements will appear in the next edition of our premium
The firm also manufactures Hughes'
Smoothing Harrows, Sanford Hay and
Fodder Cutters, and the Hamilton
Sulky Hay Rake, a marvelofsimplicity,
with no springs or complicated parts of
any kind to get out of order. Reapers
and mowers, field rollers, and last, but
not least, mower and reaper knives and
sickles and mower and reaper sections

who desire to become better acquainted
with this firm and their goods should

and price-lists. They can be obtained of

Editors Indiana Farmer
Not far from one year ago I asked
through your valuable paper forinforma-
ti-in as to the best plan for building
gravel roads. On or about the 14th of
March, 1878, I received a letter from
Wm. R. Norris, Shelbyville, Ind., offering his services and making me the
proposition, if I would send him five dollars, he would furnish for the Farmer,
to be published in half column
instalments, suitable articles covering
all the ground for the best mode for constructing gravel roads. Supposing Mr.
Norris to be acting in good faith, I on
the 8th of April, 1878, sent said W. R..
Norris, a money order for five dollars,
No. 12,026, which I have the. evidence
he received. I have written to Mr. Nor-'
ris once since I sent the money order, but
got no reply. Now, if Mr. Norrisisdead,
I have but little to say, but if living I
wish to hear from him through the
Farmer. John Ott.
Rockville, Feb. 8.
—We have written to Mr. Norris in
reference to this matter, but like Mr.
Ott, have received no reply. The present loud call we trust will reach him and
bring forth an answer. Mr. Norris wrote
one or two articles upon road making for
publication previous to the date mentioned, but none has reached us since
that time.—Eds. *
