Twenty- eight horses were entered in competition, and great interest in the display was manifested by the farmers, who were present from the different parts of the country. Such premiums as this have developed the horses of the Clydesdale breed to their present high standard of excellence. i «* — » A Little Adv. in the Farmer.

A Cure for Hog Cholera, Every paper in the United States ought occasionally to keep the fact before its. readers that burnt corn is a certain and speedy cure for hog cholera. The best way is to make a pile of corn on the cobs, effectually scorch it, and then give the affected hogs free access to it. This remedy was discovered by E. E. Locke, at the time his distillery was burnt in this county, together with a large lot of store corn, which was so injured as to be unfit for use, and was hauled out and greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were dying daily. After the second day not a single hog was lost, and the disease entirely disappeared. The remedy has been tried in a number of cases since, and never failed.*—Lewiston Gazette. a) iaa» a> A Singular Case. One day last week the fine mare of Mr. Myron H. Weaver, of this place, was taken suddenly sick. Several of our horsemen were called upon to ascertain, if possible, the nature of her sickness, but all fonnd it difficult to determine; some suggesting oiws remedy and some another, but nothing seemed to do any good. Finally she was taken to Mr. C. J. Dewitt, a blacksmith of this place, who upon learning that rye straw had been used for bedding, and that occasionally she had been fed with it, soon found tbe cause of her ailment. Putting his hand in her mouth and raising up her tongue, he found about two handfuls of rye beards, which being removed, the mare got better at once, and is now as well as ever. We publish this item as a matter of information to owners of horses that are fed straw, and particularly rye straw.—Havana, N. Y., Journal. Sheep Breeding. - Editors Indiana Farmer: I have been frequently asked advice In reference to establishing and managing a flock of sheep, and heretofore have repliiWl by private letter. It may be of some interest to give my views and experience through, the Farmer as some such inquiries have recently reached me. In establishing a -flock of sheep ior ordinary' practical purposes, whether a,large or small flock is intended, I should begin by purchasing a lot of good, strong ewes from two to four years old, which may be had at from f2 50 to f4 per head after shearinje;, and sometimes the lambs they have at side can be had at tbese -rates without charge. Theso ewes should be kept for two years, getting two sets of lambs from them and then turn off either to the butcher or hold for breeding purposes, when they will bring as much as you gave for them, the wool will go a longways toward paying for their keep and you have two sets of lambs for little more than the interest on your money. The rams used with the ewes should be well-bred Southdowns/ and the lambs should Be kept until one year old before breeding* them to a ram so that the ram in this way will do two years without inbreeding. The reason why a Southdown ram is recommended is that this breed is noted for its great hardiness, Imparting constitution, prolific breeding qualities and the ewes are groat sticklers. The lambs come strong and are lively from the beginning. The -Southdowns are great meat- producers and have more flash—not fat, but lean meat—than any other sheep. After the second crop of lambs has been raised you have a basis on which to found a valuable flock of sheep—just like building a house, you have laid a stone foundation and can proceed now to put up a good, substantial building without fear ofthe under-I pinning givingwayand allowing the itn.«.f -*££«g™ ture to topple over. Suppose now you wish to raise early lambs for market in June or July, you should continue with a pure bred Southdown ram and breed the ewes early so the lambs will begin coming tho latter part of January, and by first of March be all dropped. I have found by experience that, take one year with another, lambs can be saved better in February than any other month before grass comes, the lambs are very little trouble though they require a good shelter and some care. During lambing season I usually seo my ewes every two or three hours; I go to their house the last thing before going to bed and the first thing next morning. * When a ewe is found with young lambs I put her in a little box I have fenced off about three feet square, and hero she is kept for a day or two, owing to how strong the lambs are. Some young ewes are not inclined to own their lambs when among the rest of the flock but if held until the lambs suck once and then penned to themselves for a day or two they become very fond of the lambs. The ewes should be fed some hay—clover is best—and grain, either threshed oats or cracked corn. It makes a good feed to mix either oats or barley with shelled corn—one part of latter to two of former: Some people think sheep never need water but they are greatly mistaken. During the summer season when on tender grass sheep drink very little water, but when fed on dry feed they should have it every day, pure and fresh. This is the reason why you were recently asked if threshed oats were fit food for sheep, saying that it was claimed that it perforated the stomach. You answered correctly, that oats were good for sheep, but I will say further to that reader that the sheep he referred to had suffered and died from want of water, and not because of wrong food. In addition to the above feed and care have a good blue-grass pasture that has not been grazed too closely in the fall and turn your sheep on this every day during the winter when there are no rain storms to wet their wool. If you want your sheep to do well do not let them stand in the rain and get thoroughly soaked any more than you would stand in the same storm yourself. If you have an open shed for them they will take good enough care of themselves. I house my sheep every night, not only to protect them from dogs, but to feed and care for them. It is very little trouble to turn them in from an adjacent pasture, and if they are fed a little every day they will come as near the barn of.an evening as they can. I have found by years of experience that it pays to take care of sheep as well as all other stock, and the farmer who will give his sheep as much care as he does his'hogs will find that sheep will pay the best, taking everything into consideration. In case you intend raising sheep for wool and expect to turn the wethers and excess off at from two to three years old, I would advise breeding the second cross from a Cotswold ram. This would give the sheep more si-wand length of staple. Tbe Cotswold cross, if successful, might be continued for a term of years, but in any event the Southdown ram should occasionally be resorted to for the purpose of impressing more fully its qualities upon the flock. When it is in tended to establish a flock of thoroughbred sheep a start will have to be made jrom well-bred females as well as rams, and one can make his own selection from the variousbreeds, any of which have, their good and valuable qualities. * I am preparing a Short-horn cow for our next State fair to be fed on thistles and run on the commons and will have her fat. It is with the understanding, however, that Dr. Brown will exhibit a fat, hardy scrub, fed and kept in the same way. * H. Cambridge City, March 18. « a_ a. Decrease in Sheep Raising. The Wool Growers' Association in their petition to tho Legislature for a better sheep protection law, which unfortunately tbey did not get, made the following surprising statements in regard to the decline in the business in the State: "Wool-growing in this State ranks sixth in importance of agricutural products. The raising of 'sheep, both for mutton and wool, when undisturbed by their natural enemy, tho sheep-killing dog, is fairly remunerative, and is especially adapted to much hilly and broken land, at present unproductive, and is suitable to farms of every grade. Notwithstanding these facts, the decrease in the number of sheep grown in Indiana for the past seven years was nearly 50 per cent., and was 11 per cent. less than seven years ago. The number reported for 1870 was 1,612,080, and for 1877, 003,177, showing that while the population and the clearing and settlement of new lands is rapidly Increasing tho growing of sheep is as rapidly decreasing." ctmmirjj. Sick Mare. 'armer:^ young mare that for two months has had rather a poor appetite, especially for grain. She seems to eat hay pretty well, and is quite lively when sho is out for exercise. In the stable whero"she stands there is a pole with ono end on the manger and the othor on the ground, and for several weeks she made a practice of standing over the polo, and allowing her belly to rest on the same. She steps forward enough to bring the pole under her flanks. Sho has lost considerable of flesh during thelast two months and has done but little work. Can you tell me what to do for her? I have a copy of Navin's Explanatory Stock Doctor. Nora, Marion Co., March 19. A. W. A. W.: Your letter has been handed me by the editors of the Indiana Farmkr. Your mare's mouth must be foul, if not shedding teeth. Take alum and burn it on a hot stove or fire-shovel until it ceases bubbling, grind it and mix it with a double handful of meal and a fist-fulof salt; make a swab out of a thin board, about 18 to 24 inches long, and one-half wide; roll it or cover it with muslin so as to make it hold water, put your mixture on a pie-pan, or shallow vessel of any kind; roll the swab in it when wet, the dry powder will stick to the swab. Then swab the mouth, viz: the cheeks, over and under the tongue, once or twice per day. Then take ground ginger, 4 oz.; black antimony, 2 oz.; flour of sulphur, 2 oz.; pulis vitre, (saltpetre), 2 oz.; sulph. of iron, (copperas), 2 oz„* resin, 2 oz. All mixed and powdered. Give one tablespoonful threo times _& day in chop-feed, bran and shorts, or bran and oats, wet. If she will not eat it drench it into her with a bottle for a few days. She will then eat it readily in feed. John N. Navin, V. S. Indianapolis, March 20. Fence Posts. Editors Indiana Farmer: In answer to W. H. __., I would say that white oak or pin oak is the best; cut in February, season the timber, and put the top end down. I have seen posts of the same timber put side by side, one with the top down, the other with the butt end down. When the one with the butt end down would be rotten the other would be sound. I think the Indiana Farmkr the best paper in the State. Long may it live. W. P. M. Soutbport, Marion Co., March 17. •a aa» a. Ahead of All.

Editors Indiana Farmer Is there any such company in your city as the Citizen's Mutual Benefit Association? If so, is it responsible and safe? Nelson Trussler, president, and It. Moore, secretary, are said to be its officers. Please answer and confer a favor. J. M. C. Lebanon, March 18. —There is such a company here and it is regarded as'reliable and responsible.—Edb. A subscriber asks why the people of Ev- ansville.petitioned the Legislature to change the name of their city to Lamasco. As we understand it, the reason for desiring the change was that tho Evans, after whom the city was named, is discovered to have been a worthless drunkard, a character whieh this temperance loving city does not wish to perpetuate in her name, while Lamasco was the pretty name given the bend ofthe river on which the city is built. Editors Indiana Farmer: I wish to inquire of some of your many readers what ails my game cocks. They begin by getting sore in the mouths, get sore around the eyes and on the heads until their eyes swell shut, and the breath smells very bad. They are very fine chickens, and only the cocks seem to have the disease. I have killed three of them and will have to kill more unless some one can give a cure through your paper.

Editors Indiana Farmer: When a person has advanced the pay for his paper and said nothing about having tbe paper continued after the time paid for had ended; first, has the publisher a moral right to require the subscriber to notify him to discontinue the paper, and in case no such notice has been received, second, has he a moral right to require the subscriber to pay for whatever time the paper may be sent after such paid up time?. If he has such right please state how he gets it. . * I. Neo. —Some publishers announce that they will continue to send papers to subscribers till notified that they wish them discontinued.

R. —The Indianapolis Fertilizers Company will furnish either bone-meal, or ammoni- ated; bone-guano at the rate of f25 per ton in bulk. A barrel would contain about 300 pounds we presume, and be "worth about f4. to tako a statement of the full amount of grain, etc., raised during the year; also the number of acres in cultivation, etc These statements are made for statistical purposes only.—Eds. The Marriage Question. Editors Indiana Farmen In yonr issue of March 15,the questions are asked "if first cousins can legally marry" in this State, and if a man and woman in the presence of witnesses, contract to live together as husband and wife would constitute a valid marriage, such as would be binding in law. Those questions were purported to be answered by Vinson Carter, Esq., an attorney at law, that "there is no law in this State preventing the marriage of first cousins, and that such marriages are legal. I would say in that as in the otherhe is clearly wrong. The act of the Legislature of 1877, page 94, approved March 5,1877, clearly forbids such marriage as first cousins. And as to the other question it has long been considered by the best judges that if a man and woman in all things qualified to marry, wonld in the presence of two or more witnesses contract to live together as husband and wife and in good faith so live together, that such a contract would be binding in law. Although it is a practice I would not approve of. Farmer. Lafayette, March 13. —We handed "Farmer's" letter to Mr. Carter, who makes the following reply.— Eds. Editors Indiana Farmer: Your correspondent, "Farmer," is mistaken. Marriages between first cousins have always been held valid by the common law, and must be, and are so held in Indiana unless expressly prohibited by statute. The statute of 1877, page 04, does not prohibit them. The utmost that can be said of that statute is that it declares marriage to be a civil contract and that certain persons are capable of entering into such contract, and it does ~iTot either expressly, or by any lair implication disqualify those not included in the clause mentioned therein. Thero is no statute declaring such marriages void or even voidable, and thero is mo penalty against them.—Bishop on marriage and divorce, volume 1, page 145. "Farmer" evidently has not read the case of Roche vs. Washington, 19 Indiana, 53, where it is held by the Supreme Court that marriages in Indiana, to be valid, must conform to the laws of Indiana. The statute provides that "before any person shall be joined in marriage they shall procure a license," etc. Marriage without license being thus expressly prohibited. V. C. Detective Association. Editors Indiana Farmer: We have a detective society here called the St. Joseph Detective Society, with .60 members, admittance ?2, yearly dues 75 cents. We have $450 in ou*-; treasury, and have not met with any loss to amount to anything. We have eight runners. Isaac Mowrer is our president, and A. M. Taylor, necretary. We meet three times in a year. The horse- thieves keep out of our place, or steal their horses from those who are not members. A. M. T Chamberlain, Allen Co., March 20. That Self-Sucking Cow. Editors Indiana Farmer: Cows may be prevented from sucking themselves by simply bridling them, or in other words by taking a oommon bridle-bit and fastening it in the mouth by means of cord long enough to reach over the head and [tie to the bit. Be careful not to draw the bit too far up, as it will interfere with her grinders. This is not only a sure remedy but does not hamper the eow. I have tried it and know it to be a fact. The Farmer is a welcome visitor to our family. Wayne Co., March 15. A. D. O. Assessor's Duty. Editors Indiana Farmen Is it necessary for township assessors to register the amount of grain and farm products, etc., per acre when taking the asses- ment of property? Please answer and oblige St. Bernice, March 19. D. A. R. —The law requires township assessors at the time they assess property for taxation Another Swindle Exposed. Editors Indiana Farmer: The boss swindlers have struck this part of the country. The first came in the shape of a smooth-tongued rascal who desires to give his victim 100 feet of ten-strand hollow cable clothes-line, and all he asks in return is for the farmer to act as agent for the company, and permit them to ship him 2,300 feet ofthe wire, which they will ship free of expense, and give him a commission of one-half on all ho sells, at five cents per foot. He is told that it costs him nothing, that he gets 100 feet free gratis, and if he sellB any he gets 50 per cent, of the receipts. After he has talked his victim up to the proper pitch and he agrees to accept the agency, the agreement is brought out, which is very simple, something like this: "Send me about 2,300 feet of your ten- strand hollow cable clothes-line, to be sold at five cents a foot retail, for which I am io receive a commission of one-half on all sold. It is further agreed that I am to have 100 feet free of charge. If I fail to sell any wire the balance to be returned to the company when called for by their agent." (Signed) The rascal pockets the agreement and drives off in search of more victims. In a few days a bundle of wire is shipped to him, charges unpaid, and following on the heels of that is a large man, who produces a bill ofthe following form: HoBK_I.MVJI.I_!, N. Y., 1879. Bought of Hollow Cable-Co., 2,300 feet ten-strand hollow cable clothes-line at Ave cents per foot! IIS One hundred feet free of charge „ — S Balance due....... -• 110 Of course the farmer protests that he never ordered anything of the kind to bo paid for, and that there ia some mistake. The large man presents the agreement, which now reads: "I am to give the company above named, or bearer of this, the retail price, five cents per foot, for the first order, which I will sell at five cents a foot in considertibn of 100 feet free of charge, etc., Signed . Tbe farmer is threatened with a suit in the United States Court at Chicago, if he fails to pay at once, and a discount is made if he pays. He usually gives a note, which tlie rascal trades off at the first town. The other swindler works about the same way. He claimed to be general agent for the Plymouth Machine Works, Plymouth, Ohio, and dealt in lifting jacks. Clark Co., 111., March 19. C. R, W.
