INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JAN. 14, 1382.— TWELVE PAGES, NO. 3. Sheep Husbandry in Indiana. BY HENRY C. MEREDITH. A paper read before the State Board of Agriculture: The number of sheep in Indiana in 1880, was 1,013,032 and 525,828 lambs, making a total of 1,538,860. The esti nated value of which at ?3 per head for sheep and ?2 for lambs makes a total valuation $4,090,752. There were in 1880 17,017 breeding rams in the State at an estimated value of $11 each, making them worth $187,187: In 1870 there were 1,612,680 sheep in the State, as lambs were not estimated,it was a larger number by over 50 per cent than we had ten years later, or even a larger number thanin 1880 counting the lambs. In 1860 Indiani had 991,175 sheep; not nearly so many as in 1870. In 1850 we had 1,122,493 sheep, showing that thirty years ago there were more sheep by over 100,000 in the State than we had one year ago. In 1880 with 1,013,032 sheep, we produced a crop of 3, 893,715 pounds of wool, an average of nearly four pounds per head, or to be exact 3.85 pounds. In 1870 with 1,612,680 sheep, we produced 5,029,023 pounds of wool equal to 3.12 pounds per head; of the 100,000,000 pounds produced in the United States we produced about one twentieth part. In 1860 we produced 2,552,318 pounds from 991,175 sheep making an average of 2,57 pounds per head,' being that year about 1.24 part of the total production in the United States. In 1850 Indiana produced 2,150,112 pounds from 1,122,493 sheep, giving an average of less than two pounds per head and about 1.25 part of the total wool production in the United States. In 1850 we had about 1.29 part of all the sheep in the United States and in 1870 the 1.17 part, and ours was the 5th State in num bers, showing that we have a great sheep growing State. Comparative Talue of Sheep and Hoss. Indiana has been known as a great hog producing State, yet we find that in 1870 there were 146 manufactories of woolen goods employing 2,395 hands with a- capital of §3,770,513—the wages amounting annually to §717,176—materials used were worth §2,995,604, and the products thereof brought the splendid sum of §4,212,737— while the pork packing establishments consisted of 11 in number employing 452 men with a capital of §1,598,000. The materials used were worth §2,262,737, and the products only brought §2,780,031. It will thus be seen that the products from woolen factories in one state exceeded in value by more than one and a half times that of the pork packed. This makes a good showing for the sheep and we have his carcass left. There was only one manufacturing industry in the State in 1870, the products of which exceeded in value that of woolen goods, viz. sawed lumber. From the foregoing it will be seen that the total number of sheep was not so great in 1880 as in 1850—thirty years previous.' Yet from the lesser number we produce more than double the amount of wool in the aggro- gate, while the average per head is almost trebled; in addition the quality is far superior, and the carcass is much more valuable for the market. Progress In Sheep Ilnsliandry nnd Methods. These advances show that we are progressing both in the care and breeding of our sheep—two requisites of success. The improved breeds th it are being crossed upon our native sheep (the valuable results of which may be seen on almost every firm), may be classed in three general varieties: 1. The long or coarse wooled breeds— Cotswold, Leicester and Lincoln. 2. The medium wooled breeds—Southdown, Shropshire, Oxford and Hampshire. 3. The fine wools—Merinos. The first named is most largely used, a cross of which upon our native sheep gives a much longer and heavier fleece, greater sizo of carcass with improved mutton qualities. This cross is generally desira- ablo where the flock is kept on the low rich lands. Tho Downs are used principally to improve the mutton qualities—to give vigor and constitution, and toadd to tho market value of the carcass. The South-down particularly gives fiaoness of texture and delicacy of flavor to the flesh, with the fat and lean well marbled. English butchers leave the black hair on tho legs of tho carcass to show their customer-i that tho sheep is a Down. Theso shcop are preferable on the higher lands whoro the grass is short and a hardy, active, thrifty sheop is req aired. Purpose of Crossine Breeds. Tho fine wools are used to cross on the natives to reduce tho toxture, increase the density aud weight of tho wool. They also add to their mutton qualities, but are not noted for this property, owing to their size. This cross is most valuable in largo flocks as they herd well together. They are not so prolific nor so good mothers as either the Cotswolds or Downs. The lambs are harder to raise than those of any of the other breeds. Pure bred rams should at all times be used on 'the flicks—otherwise a mongrel is produced that has no distinctive type nor increased value over the parent. Farmers can improve an ordinary flock from 20 to 50 per cent every year by using well selected, pure bred rams, but they should never be tempted to save their nicest ram lambs to sell or keep for breeders. When the cost of extra oare, annoyance of would-be purchasers, and trouble of shipment are all accounted for, it will be found that more money will be made to buy from the flock of a reliable professional breeder who makes the highest order of professional merit a specialty. The gain made in the increased value of the produce of the flock will in one year moref than pay the price of a good ram. Indiana Well Adopted. The lands of In liana are well adapted to sheep husbandry from their production of the sweetest and most nutritious grasses, the purest water is plentiful, and the climate is well suited to the successful pursuit of this most profitable industry; while the market, through our net work ■of railroads, is at our own door. Where lands are highest in market value, nocrops or stock yield revenue like that which comes from a flock of sheep and where the soil is thin, hills steep and rocky, its most profitable use is for sheep. . More than any other animal do they enter into the economies of the farm. They produce two crops per year—wool and offspring. Their flesh is healthful and delicious. Their products bring a ready cash price and as .they are easily cared for, there is no reason why sheep husbandry should not bo greatly extended in the State. The Intelligent care of domestic animals is both elevating and humanizing; none more so than the care of the flock. With all the rough usages, the constant care of things lovable and helpless cannot but make one simple minded and tender hearted. Gen. Wallace says of the Shepherds of Judea: "If in narrative they dwelt long upon affairs of trifling moment; if one of them omitted nothing of detail in recounting the loss of a lamb, the relation between him and the unfortunate should be remembered; a' birth it became his charge, his to keep all its days, to help over the floods, to carry down the hollows, to name and train; it was to be his companion, his object of thought and interest, the subject of his will; it was to enliven and share his wanderings; in its defence he might be called on to face the lion or robber—to die." Indiana Swine Breeders' Association. This association met January 4th, in this city. Yice President T. W. Sunman in the chair, Wm. A. Macy, secretary. The committee on classes of swine and premiums at State fair reported, and after full discussion on tho low premiums paid by Indiana State fair, in comparison to other neighboring State associations, and also in considering the high position as to wealth that Indiana now occupies. The association directed the committee, Messrs. Jones, Dragoo and Macy, to again petition the State Board of Agriculture to increase the prizes and premiums in swine department. Tho treasurer, James Mustard, not being present is directed to report at next meeting. The following officers were elected: President, Dick Jones, Columbus, Ind. Vice-president, Jesse Y. Domaree,Frank- lin, Ind. Secretary, Wm. A. Macy,LewisviUe,Ind. Treasurer, D. L. Thomas, Ruskvillejnd. Executive committee, T. M. Raveal, Clermont, Ind.; S. Dragoo,Edinburg,Ind.. and B. L. Mugg, Center, Iud. D. L. Thomas desirod to know how much concession should bo made on the part of a breeder when an animal proved barren, or a non-breeder. S. Dragoo—Should make good barren animals.; D.Jones—IE a breeder sells a pig and it is a non-breeder,houor demands he should bo made good. 'Wm. Robbing—If pig is sold at buyer's risk he should be the loser, otherwise breeder stands good. Aged hogs should always bo guaranteed. E. Caldwell—His practice is always to allow the difference betweon selling price and stock hog price on non-breeders. Similar romarks wore made by Messrs. Macy, Mugg, Thomas, and others. D. Jones suggested the propriety to breeders of not shipping "stock C. O. I)., but in all cases let the niouoy precede tin; shipping. This was his practice, and ho thought if all wero to adopt such a. course it would be the safest, and avoid anxiety and much trouble and loss. AH thought such a course the best, and if the individual who wishes to purchase cannot place confidence enough in a breeder to order on his word, it would be best to cancel order. J. G. Kingsbury of the Indiana Farmer, desired to have the opinion of the association on Dr. Haas' swine remedies: D. Jones—So far as I know hogs that were treated by his sanitary measures and without his medicine, did much better than those treated with his medicine and sanitary measures. He thought it a good appetizer. M. Dragoo—Knew of cases where it failed, and questioned its widespread reputation. E. Caldwell—Thought other resources more to be depended upon than the Doctor's medicine. Wm. A. Macy spoke of its complete failure in parts of Henry, Rush ana Fayette counties, being fully tested by reliable breeders and well-to-do farmers. May do as au appetizer. There were some similar testimonies given by other breeders present. D. L. Thomas read a valuable condensed review of the late publications ol Congress on swine diseases. On motion, tho association returned thanks to him for the paper read. It will appear soon in the Farmer. S. Dragoo read a paper on the value and best manner of keeping and feeding swine. Thanks were returned to him lor his paper. It will also be given in the Farmer. J. G. Kingsbury made some valuable remarks on the objects of the association, and assured us that the Indiana Farmed, was always ready to print any matters of interest in this department of husbandry. LA. number thought that the Farmer was increasing in valuable information, especially in the stock department. »~ Owing to a severe snow storm a number £« oujrynembers were prevented from at- iending^—buVas- a—tvholeJ the members thought the occasion was a profitable one and paid well.

R. H. S. Give him the powders so often recommended in the Farmer; to be given in mixed feed three times daily one teaspoonful. Blister It. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a horse that has a lump on the side of his neck about the middle, nearly on top. Has been there aboutsixmonths. When first noticed it was small, but has kept growing, till now it is as large as nn egg and hard as bone. The horse appears very well; is in good flesh; eats heartily; stands work well. F. S.

She limps on rough roads; in the fields does not. I think she is hoof bound; her feet are hard, and are inclined to grow long. I see the expansion shoe recommended.

If so, a cure is difficult if at all possible, or her liver may be affected.

If benefited, renew the prescription, ^.., , Flatulent Colic. Several horses have died in this vicinity the last few weeks under peculiar circumstances. They est heartily in the morning and appear well, but in a few hours they begin to swell up and in a short time the abdomen becomes so full that it t-eems as if it must burst. The horse sutlers intensely, remaining all the time on its feet. All remedies for moving the bowels or removing the gas from tbe stomach fail, and after eight or ten hours suffering,the horse drops dead es suddenly as if shot in the brain. S. E.
