I mention it because I think it is something quite unusual. I believe I have never heard of a similar circumstance. A. G. R. Pittsboro, May 8. Bumping for Thumps. Editorslndiana Farmer: I have cured one hog by churning it on the but-end, as I saw that cure recommended by some writer in the Farmer. I would have given the hog away, for I felt sure it would die with the thumps, but in three days after the bumping not a sign of thumps was to be seen. It is now well and hearty, and is the first hog I ever know to get well of the disease. J. II. N. Hancock Co., May 8. English Saddle-Horses. The requisite qualifications of an English lady's saddle-horse, according to the Agricultural Gazette, London, are as follows' Here all the caprice of fashion and the weight of the breeder's intelligence are concentrated; the great aim being to secure an animal light in the hand, springy iu his paces, with that due proportion of bone and sinew which will bear wear and tear, because ladies, once up, unless thorough horsewomen, think, "Oh, he is a horse, and he must go!" I can almost challenge the seller on tho point whether the horse has carried a lady by observing tho unequal wear of the forelegs. The near leg in cantering bearing all the concussion, is often very looped, if not archy, in comparison. In this class of horse, length of limb a pastern joint is desirable—long pastern*, good knee»j* deep shoulders, * deepy blood-like quarters, the feet Bound, and hoof dark. HISC ELLASEOUS. ! M.

What Ailed the LambP Editors Indiana Farmer. I see in your issue of May 3, Dr. Nayln says that the cause of our lambs dying was too close confinement. Our ewes were kept in two flocks aad treated as follows: Three one-year-old ones, with one old one, were kept in a flock of last year's lambs, of 18 head in all, in a yard 2x4 rods, with a stable connected. They were fed on good hay and corn fodder, with a little less than one half-pint of grain per head twice each day. The feed was composed of two parts oats and one part corn. The remainder of them, 13 in all, were kept in the general flock of 35 head, and yarded at night in a yard 4x8 rods, and fed good hay in a rack, and about one half-pint, or a little less, of corn per head, night and morning. During the day they were allowed to run with the young cattle in an eight-acre field, and were fed on corn fodder. They all had what pure well-water they wished for. I have kept sheep for the last ten years, but this bad luck in raising lambs, or not raising them, beats me; I cannot account for it. D- G. Tremont, May S. 4 m. . — Feeding Cattle. An Iowa farmer gives his experience as follows: "I am feeding some steers now that were good grades, and were rather extra calves, and were fed at tho troughs with the beef cattle, all ofthe shelled corn they would eat for two-thirds of the first winter, then they were turned with stock cattle and had ordinary feed and pasture till two and one half years old. They were then in very good condition and averaged 1,135 pounds. They are about three years old now; I bought them last fall and have fed them with ar>out 100 other cattle that are now feeding for beef. They are doing the poorest of any. It is my opinion that i f the grain that was fed to them the first winter had been divided, one-third fed to them the first winter, and the two-thirds fed to them the next winter, they would have been much better than they now are. To let cattle off, you lose the feed you have fed to them while gaining the flesh they lose, and the feed they ate while losing it, besides they will not make as good steers as if kept gaining all the time. Any animal, if.allowed to get poor after onco having been fat, will never fatten as well again. "I am now feeding a steer which is about three years old, that weighed a few days ago 1,500 pounds. He will probably by the first of July next weigh 1,800 pounds. All that would have been necessary to mako the net profit on him ?22 less than it probably will be, would have been to have fed the same feed to him he has eaten, and to have extended the time bf feeding it one year. There would havo been a loss of interest toe one year on the value of the steer, 540 at ten per cent., fl; a loss in weiglit of say 200 pounds at five cents per pound, f 10; and a loss of fifty cents a hundred on say 1,600 pounds for a lower grade steer, $8. "Cattle when changed from green to dry feed, lose in a short time from four to eight improved breeds ot swine. But it is high time wo were calling a halt, so far as further development is concerned, with each of several breeds. . It is time to look more closely to constitutional vigor, to activity, and general vitality, than some breeders havo done; we must mako up our minds that the fattest possible hog is not the best possible type for practical utility.—National Is%Y^-SttK— Journal. mules low. Good prospect for apples, other fruits scarce. Peach trees mostly killed. Farm hands get from ?13 to ?18 per month. About the usual acreage of wheat, oats and corn. Times hard, but the farmers are generally working with a will to try and make a living. Success to the Farmer —wish every farmer would take it. Monroe. Johnson Co., May 8.—We are having nice spring weather now, had a nice rain on Sunday night last, but not enough to help plowing. Ground is very cloddy this spring. Considerable corn planted, some few pieces planted in April. Grass is short on account of dry, cool weather. Wheat is uncommonly good for this time; There will be a large acreage, of corn planted in this part, and plowing for it is well advanced; about three-fourths ot the farmers are done breaking. Stock is generally in good order. No hog cholera in this vicinity- at present. The grange is in a very flourishing condition here; about three- fourths of the farmers belong to the order. The Farmer is a welcome visitor here and should be taken by all farmers; it would save them many times their cost by guarding them against traveling swindlers, such as wire fence agents. Its receipts are worth ten times its cost. It is plain to be seen that its proprietors are laboring for the interest of its patrons, and brother farmers, and we should patronize them, aa it is our interest to do so as well as theirs. There will be plenty of apples and some peaches, currants and gooseberries. Greenwood. Cor. Have we Overdone in Pig Improvement? Rapid growth, early maturity, ability to convert a large quantity of food into a good, solid product, ability to fatten readily, and to continue the process—these are all desirable qualities in swine, and they have all been secured in each of several breeds to a remarkable degree. Have we gone too far in our efforts to secure these points? This is a question worth the asking, and it may be that an affirmative answer will have to be given. ■* It is well known that we cannot secure perfection, nor even very high excellence, in several directions at the same time, and that almost certainly some weak points will accompany the unusual development < f good qualities; hence it is reasonable to suppose that, with such marked development in several desired qualities as our best breeders of swine exhibit, there will be at least obvious tendencies to some undesirable traits. If we add to this general proposition the facts that the present development has been secured, in many cases, by close inbreeding, and by reducing to a minimum opportunities, at least incentives, for exercise, and that oftentimes the breeding stock hare not been kept in the best conditions for robust health in any respect, we shall think it strange if the result has not been deterioration of constitutional vigor, if not the implanting of well- marked tendencies to serious diseases. Is it not the fact that very many of tho most highly improved swine are not so healthful or so able to resist disease or unfavorable circumstances as is desirable. But aside from all this, have we not carried the tendency to lay on fat too far? It is admitted that many a show cow, or sheep, or hog, is too fat to be most profitable, either forthe butcher or the consumer. There is a limit to the profitable production of fat. Is it not true that the disposition to lay on fat is in excess of what is really desirable in the case of several somewhat highly-prired breeds? The proportion of lean meat has been reduced to a minimum, except in the hams and shoulders, and greatly decreased in these. For "home use," do any of us prefer such pigs? If any have doubts on this point, let them examine the carcass of a "well fattened" hog, or look at sides of bacon, or even at a ham or shoulder. If opportunity offer, let a comparison be mado of the carcasses ol model, well-bred pigs, always kept in high condition, and those of common or grade pigs, which had more length of body, perhaps a little more length of leg, and which have fed during part of their lives on good grass or clover as almost their sole food, and which have never been without a lair amount of daily exercise. It is quite possible the decision may be, that while the one set would give the greatest profit when sold on the market, the other would be much tho more desirable for family eating. We aro not decrying the , advantages which have been gained. No one thinks it wise to choose the common, inferior sheep, because it is generally admitted Bakewell carried the improvement too far with the Leicesters; and so there is room for our Postal-Card Correspondence IXDIANA. Pulaski Co., May 5.—Weather still tool- frosty nights. Considerable plowing for corn done, but ground not in prime order. Fruit trees in full bloom, with prospect of fair crops of all kinds of fruit. Grass still short, and an unusually late spring. C. II. G. Fountain Co., May 5.—Health good. Beautiful weather. Farmers all busy preparing their ground for corn. Wheat loolcs well. I dug from one hill »f the Brazilian artichokes a plump half bushel at one digging. Can any of the readers beat that? J. A. P. Clinton Co., May 7.—Wheat is looking very well. Oats are mostly up, and a good broadth was sown. More flax sown this year than usual. A littlo corn planted, but a good deal of ground to break yet. Cherries not all killed; will be some apples. * B. L. G. Posey Co., May 5.—Wheat looks well. Small crop of oats put in. Have commenced plowing for corn. There will be a full crop of apples, cherries and pears There will be no peaches. Wheat, ?1 per bushel; corn, 35c; potatoes, fl. No hog cholera. Hogs are cheap. A. H. A Montgomery Co., May 6.—Fine weather now tor farm labor but rather cool for vegetation to grow rapidly. Some corn planting done. The farmers aro generally pretty well along with their spring work. Wheat looks fine. Stock looks well generally and plenty of fine stock here in Montgomery. M. F. Carroll Co., May 7.—Weather fine with occasional showers. Wheat prospects very good. Farmers busy preparing to plant corn. Fruit prospects: Apples not very good, of some varieties there will be no bloom at all. There will be some peaches bloom in spite of the cold winter. For small fruit the prospects are good. L. Noble Co., May 7.—The weather continues very cold and backward. There has been four frosts during this month up to the 6th in this locality, but thus far little damage is done to the fruit. Oats aro up. Wheat looks very well. Plowing is pretty well advanced, and tho advent of warmer weather would bo an incentive to corn planting. H. M.G. Tir-TON Co., May 2.—It is very cold for the timo of the year; ice formed the last two nights \_ inch thick. Wheat and grass are suffering badly from the want of rain. Farmers well up with their work. Considerable corn planted. Fully 40 per cent of the winter apple and peach trees are killed; though the bark is bursted the trees are putting out leaves; nevertheless they are killed. If this is general there will be almost a calamity. Would like to hear from other farmers. Success to the Farmer. W. A. M. Wabash Co., May 12.—Wheat and oats look well. The bulk of the corn crop will be planted by May 17. But fow farmers are done planting. But few fat or stock hogs. Health good. In tho clay lands off tho river plowing is getting tough; clods something less than a rod square. Getting dry. H. C Marshall Co., May 5.—Tell F. M. G., of Fountain -county; if-he will vritorat %—t> kind of soil his hedge is on and what stand he has got, I will tell him what to do to his hedgo. I have worked with an old hedger along timo and find that the samo has to be treated differently on different soils. I have no plants for sale. I read your excellent paper and think it the bost of the kind I ever read. G. C. Hendricks Co., May 6.—The wheat looks fine but grows a little too rank. Oats look well also. Farmers are nearly through breaking up corn ground. Some complaints of hard cloddy ground. Apples promising as far as can be judged. Peaches about all killed. Small fruit a promising average crop. Hands are plentiful, more men want work than can be accommodated. Wages very low. / A. G. R. Kosciusko Co., May 8.—Weather very cool and windy. Wheat looks well and is very forward. Some farmers have planted corn, others waiting for warmer' weather. Prospects were very favorable for a good fruit crop till last week, when the frost injured it a good deal. Peach trees that are alivo are in bloom, so with pear, plum, cherry and apple. Oats all sown. Grass growing nicely. Business livening up. Granges reviving some. . I. B. Howard Co., May 12.—Farmers entertaining somo fears with regard to the quality of seed corn. Wheat in this portion of the country is dying from somo unknown cause, principally in black, rich ground that is well underdrained. It is not dying in large bodies, but in small patches. Out side of this it is as good as we ever had. Sheep and cattle in demand at fair prices. A fair crop of fruit survives the frost. Times hard; money scarce. A few fat hogs Stock hogs plenty. Health good. W. W. F. —The trouble with your wheat may be owing to the drought, which is very severe on such ground as you describe.—Eds. Rush Co., May 8.—Wheat looks fine in this county so far. Corn planting going on briskly. Some farmers about done planting. Considerable complaint about seed corn. Clover looks fine. Some say that their clover sown this spring was damaged by frost—some more and some less. Oats are coming up. Apple trees in full bloom now, and plenty of bloom. Pear trees are full of bloom also. Some cherry bloom. Peach trees generally dead and cut down. Peaches are a very fine fruit, but we seldom have any in this county; almost certain to miss a crop. More flax sown in this county than usual, I think. The ground is very hard and dry, so much so that farmers cannot pulverize it to suit them this spring. G. W. R. Monroe Co., May 7.—It has been very dry here for the last three weeks, giving the farmers a good chance to get in their crops. The timo has beenused to good advantage. Corn planting is advancing rapidly, a great many being done, yet it is very oool, so that corn is coming up very slowly. Grass and oats are needing a warm rain very badly. Wheat is looking better than usual at this time of year. Wheat is selling at 80c; corn, 35c; hogs scarce, worth $3 50 per cwt.; cattle, good price; horses and ILLINOIS, Crawford Co., May G.—The weather is fine. Farmers are busy planting corn. Wheat looks fine in this locality. Very few oats sown on account of the late rains. Hands are plenty and wages from ?10 to §15 per month. Money scarce and general cry of bard times. J. F. O. KANSAS. Cloud Co., May 9.—As I am a reader of your valuable paper I will give you a few lines from this section. The spring and fall wheat look well. Corn planting is going on rapidly. The writer has fifty acres big enough to plow. It came up well and is a good stand; will finish planting today. Some small-pox now, but have it under control, if it is not brought in by some one on the railroad again. Everything is favorable for the farming community. It rains nights and Sundays so that we can work all the time. What has become of old Montgomery county? are they all dead? J. T. ARKANSAS. Judsonia, May 8.—Spring has been backward in this latitude, but very favorable for work. Crops all in. Wheat heading out. The frosts in March and cold winds the first week in April killed about y3 of the peaches, but enough were left to give a fair crop; all other fruits in abundance. The first strawberries of the season were shipped the 28th of April to St. Louis. Wo are now in the midst. of the strawberry season. The health of our country is good. Horses, cattle and hogs are low; tho former are of poor quality. Flour f3 to 53 50 per cwt. Corn, SOc. Bacon, 8 to 10c. Mutton, venison and wild turkey occasionally; theso you can get at reasonable rates. J. __. T. The Richmond Hoyce Reaper. We give on this page a cut of the new Richmond Royce Reaper, which for the length of time it has been before the public, has established a reputation beyond all precedent. It now stands unrivalled as a Reaper, for simplicity, strength, lightness of draft and superior excellence in the field. It will take up the worst down and tangled grain, no matter how flat it lays and deliver it in the best possible manner. It is perfectly under the control of the driver, and so easily handled that a boy can readily manage it, and cut from 12 to 15 acres a day. One ordinary span of horses will run it all day, and day after day, without change, with more ease than a light breaking plow in loose stubble ground. This machine was victorious in more field trials last harvest than any other reaper ever was. It is just the machine farmers have long been looking for. Every farmer should be sure to examine the Royce. It has been greatly improved for the season of 1879. The Royce is manufactured by the Wayne Agricultural Co., Richmond, Ind., to whom'all inquiries should be addressed, or to their various agents throughout the West. » — » The affection of parents is best shown to their children by teaching them what is good and true. * m. .

Triplets.
Editors Indiana Farmer
Mr. Robert Salmon, living in Lincoln
township, one mile west of Brownsburg,
has a Cotswold ewe that has three well-
formed lambs, now 16 or 17 days old, and
doing and looking well. I mention it because I think it is something quite unusual.
I believe I have never heard of a similar
circumstance. A. G. R.

Bumping for Thumps.
Editorslndiana Farmer:
I have cured one hog by churning it on
the but-end, as I saw that cure recommended by some writer in the Farmer. I
would have given the hog away, for I felt
sure it would die with the thumps, but in
three days after the bumping not a sign of
thumps was to be seen. It is now well
and hearty, and is the first hog I ever know
to get well of the disease. J. II. N.

English Saddle-Horses.
The requisite qualifications of an English
lady's saddle-horse, according to the Agricultural Gazette, London, are as follows'
Here all the caprice of fashion and the
weight of the breeder's intelligence are
concentrated; the great aim being to secure an animal light in the hand, springy
iu his paces, with that due proportion of
bone and sinew which will bear wear and
tear, because ladies, once up, unless
thorough horsewomen, think, "Oh, he is a
horse, and he must go!" I can almost challenge the seller on tho point whether the
horse has carried a lady by observing tho
unequal wear of the forelegs. The near
leg in cantering bearing all the concussion,
is often very looped, if not archy, in comparison. In this class of horse, length of
limb a pastern joint is desirable—long pastern*, good knee»j* deep shoulders, * deepy
blood-like quarters, the feet Bound, and
hoof dark.
