At the late meeting ofthe Indiana Wool
Growers'Association, the following resolution was passed by a unanimous vote,
which was omitted in the first published
proceedings:
Resolved, that this Association earnestly
request our Senators and Representatives
in Congress to use their influence in opposing any modification in the tariff ou
wool and woolen goods.

James Duffield, of Somerville, Ohio,
has lately purchased the fine male pig of
J. W. Williams, Briant, Indiana. This pig
took first premium in his class and sweepstakes in pair of pigs at the Jay county
fair in 1881, and cost Mr. Duffield considerable money. Mr. Duffield is one of the
oldest breeders in Butler county, and
knows what a good pig is when he sees
one.
The horses in parts of Jennings county
this State are reported to be dying off and
a number of farmers from that section report that their cattle are dying from the
same disease, or something similar. The
strange feature of the cattle plague, or
whatever it is, is that it is only the good
cattle, or those fed for market that so far
have been the victims. Farmers are
alarmed.
THE NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL CONGRESS.
FOURTH DAY—DAIRY 8T0CK.
The Improvement ot the milking quality
of dairy cattle was introduced by a well
written essay from Prof. I. P. Roberts of
Cornell University, New York. In his effort to strengthen his position as to the
importance of improving our dairy stock
both as to the quantity and quality of
milk furnished, the Prof, made several
calculations that were vigorously attacked
in the discussions that followed. He assumed that the farm stock in general use
for milking purposes at the present time
did not pay the expense of their keeping,
and proceeded to prove that the milch
cows of this country are annually bringing their owners into debt for their board.
To do this he took the census of 1880 to get
the number of cows in the United States
and assumed that the cost of keeping was
?45 per year; he then ascertained from the
same source the value of milk, butter and
cheese in the whole United States, and
dividing this aggregate by the number of
cows, he found that each cow gave a product of $35, and adding one dollar for her
calf, he found that she lacked nine dollars
of paying for her keeping. In this calculation several errors were shown.
1. In the West and Southwest, the
keeping of a cow did not cost more than
the half of ?45.
2. Her calf was worth nearer five dollars
than one.
3. No estimate was made of the manure
produced which was generally conceded
to be worth from ten to twenty dollars
per year.
4. In the census repjrts, no estimate is
made of the milk and its products used in
the family, which would add at least a
third to the aggregate as returned by the
census.
The discussion, though animated, was
conducted decorously and in a good spirit.
It was both interesting and instructive.
Especially, it developed the importance of
a more intimate relation between the different sections of our great country in
order that we may know the capabilities and
possibilities of its different localities. The
paper contained a fund of knowledge on
the subject of cross breeding to secure
special qualities, and also the causes of degeneracy in our dairy cattle. Notwithstanding the adverse criticisms on some of its
points, the paper is a valuable one, and its
publication cannot fail to secure the attention of dairymen and others seeking
the improvement of their stock.
W. P. Hazard of the Pennsylvania State
Board of Agriculture, read a very interesting paper on "The Channel Islands, their
people and their cattle." The information
conveyed was the fruit of a two year's
residence in those remarkable islands that
are now famous for their butter-producing
cattle—the Jerseys and the Alderneys.
The paper related chiefly to the "Isle of
Jersey"—the largest ot the three channel
islands, and to the history of the race of
cattle found there. The island is in North
latitude 49° 30', yet it has a climate almost
tropical. Roses and fuchsias bloom all winter in the open air, and the pastures are
green and fresh all the year, though the
milch cows are fed parsnips and carrots in
the winter. Though Jersey is tho largest
of the channel islands, yet it is but 12
miles long and 7 miles wide, and contains
an area of 40,000 acres, and has a population of 58,000. The island is a mass of red
granite and the soil, made from its decomposition, is very productive. It is noted
for its fine crops of apples and pears. The
inhabitants are Norman-French and speak
the Norman dialect of the French language.
The breed of cattle, for which this island
is celebrated, was brought from Brittany
about the time of the Norman conquest,
and has been kept pure from mixture by a stringent law which forbids the
importation bf other cattle into the island.
The number of cattle on the island is not
great, and the herds seldom exceed ten
cows. The milking and care of the cows
devolve almost entirely on the women.
The milk is used exclusively for butter
which is made by women in their homes,
with very rude machinery, but with the
most scrupulous regard to cleanliness.
Jersey butter is worth from two to three
shillings per pound in the London market. The quantity made is small, the
cows being generally sold before they are
three years old. Mr. Hazard says we can
show finer herds of Jersey cattle in the
United States than can be found on the
island at present, as the best stock is sold
continually.

pigs and I commenced feeding five of
them the first of September, 1881, and
killed them when they were twelve

You may have noticed that hundreds of
valuable cows are lost annually to j the
county from milk fever at this season of
year. Having met with loss of the kind,
I have made post mortem and find the
contents of manifolds hard and dry as
wood, and will be moved only by a powerful purgative. The owners of cows j are
apt to give them bran, shorts.'or corn meal
or some other stringent, when it should
be flaxseed, or some powerful laxative. I
therefore send you a simple receipt'-which
is at hand with nearly every family, »nd
will raise a cow if she has e lough life to
raise her head. Take of hog's lard; chimney soot, soft soap, and cow excrement,

Silos and Ensilage. ■
A correspondent asks the Country Gentleman: "'\-
"What is the matured decision of those,
who have now tried them relative to [the
value of silos, taking into view their "cost,
and everything? Some have lauded them
highly, and I see one of tho agricultural
papers speaks of the 'ensilage craze'." To
which that journal answers as follows:
"In answer to this question, it is proper to
state at the outset that this mode of preserving fodder has its disadvantages as
well as its merits. Its disadvantages are,
1st, the cost of the silo; 2d, the cost of machinery for cutting with horse or steam
power; 3d, the necessity for cutting ihe
fodder and filling at a busy season of the
year, or near the time for sowing winter
grain. j
The advantages are, 1st, a sure method
for preserving the fodder in a fresh state,
without the usual loss of long exposure to
rains; 2d, the entire consumptionl'of the
whole fodder, stalks and all; the ready digestibility of the fodder, shown by the Increase^ the milk of cows in bulk and quality ,in all cases where properly tried,     i •
For balancing these objections and
claims, it may be necessary to examine
them a little more in detail. First, as* to
the cost of the silo. This is a positive outlay, which may be greater or less, according to facilities and circumstances. The
most expensive which we have seen ijWe
those which have been excavated in very
hard soil, requiring blasting with powder,
and the erection of entire new walla.'of
masonry. The greatest cost for such
has been three and a half or  four  ^
for each ton of capacity. The cheapest
ones have been those which have been
placed in barn basements, by plastering
existing walls with water-lime, and building new walls for the remaining sides, or
making tight partitions with two-inch
plank, either by matching the plank or
lining it with building paper. Such silos
have been made so as not to cost over
seventy-five cents per ton of capacity—a
cost, which, under good management
would be more than repaid the first winter in the increase of milk and tmtter
from the cows fed with the ensilage.
The expense of the machinery will vary
with the use of "Horse or other power. The
horses on a tread-power will cut eight or
ten tons in a day, and may be employed
for a silo holding a hundred tons or more,
as the successive additions of the chopped
fodder each day serve to press down the
previously deposited fodder, and preserve it. The filling may, therefore, be
continued by daily successive additions
for a month. A tread-power will cost
about one hundred and fifty dollars; and
a cutting machine about thirty-five dollars. But the whole of this expense ought
not to be charged to the ensilage account,
as the tread-power may be employed for
several useful purposes, on rainy days or
in winter; and cutting the stalks is a matter of decided economy, even when they
are cut and fed dry.   *   *   *   *
On the other hand, the increase of the
milk in winter may be safely estimated at
one-quarter more from feeding ensilage
as compared with dry food ;"and the better
condition of the fodder, by preventing
the rotting usually resulting from exposure through autumn rains, is another important advantage. Both taken together,
will doubtless give a strong balance in
favor of the use of silos, and they will
doubtless be continued to a greater or less
extent in future by good managers. The
superior condition of the manure made
from short feed, compared with the manure which is full of long cornstalks,
should not be overlooked in cutting the
fodder either green or dry."

1881 a Healthy year for Domestic Animals.
An interesting table has been prepared
by the Bureau of Statistics, based upon
reports from 826 townships, showing the
number of horses, mules, cattle, sheep and
hogs in the State, the diseases that they
have been affected with, and the deaths
from diseases. The summary of the statistics gathered upon this subject, compared with those of 1880, is as follows:
Died oi Hates of
Total No. Disease. Deaths.
Cattle-1881.._      1,254,855 115 1 In 8,653

Horses and males—1881.      589,363 1,060 1 in 65a
Horses and mules—1830.      563,860 1,347 linllSS
Sheep—1881       1,454,540 2,010 lln723«
Sheep—1880      1,538,860 2,309 1 In 66S>*
Hogs-1881      4,104,540 84,327 1 in  485s
Hogs-1880      4,359,005 165,476 1 In  26>4
The interesting fact brought out by the
above table is that 1881 was a'much healthier year for domestic animals than 1880,
this being especially the case with hogs,
the deaths from cholera being only half
the number in 1880. The prevalent diseases were among hogs, what is known as
cholera; among cattle, milk fever, black
leg, dry murrain, throat and eye affection;
among horses, farcy, pink eye, epizootic,
lung fever, strangles, colic, quinsy, influenza, glanders, distemper, dropsy;
among sheep, foot rot, scab, grub, distemper, scours, and liver affection.

the hoofs will come off; the horse eats
heartily, but can't stand up more than an

any cure for his hoofs?
Young Farmer.
If his hoofs have become detached at the
coronary, all you can do is to keep the old
hoof rasped away from the new hoof as it
grows down toward the ground or base.

some say it is fistula. I have been cleansing his blood; I presume that is the reason he looks so well. A. B.
The best you can do is to open the abscess, and if the cartilage is'affected, cut the
injured part away, or open it and insert a
little arsenic acid rolled in tissue paper.

Farmers' Institutes.
The following circular has been issued
from the office of the State Board cf Agriculture :
The Delegate State Board of Agriculture, in session January 4th, 1882, adopted
the following resolutions:
1. That after due consideration, we
unanimously recommend the holding of
four Institutes as a trial in this State, two
to be held this winter, and two in the
month of December next.
2. That the Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture be authorized to receive
proposals from different localities, and
have the power to make appointments.
3. That the town or locality expecting
Eueh Institute, must pledge to defray tlie
expenses of such meeting, including the-
providing of a suitable hall, well wanned
and lighted, and fuither, that the locality
furnish at least one half of the papers ou
the program.
4. That the State Bcaidask ofthe Board
of Trustees of Purdue Univereity,tbatlhey
send at least two of the Faculty of that
Institution to attend each Institute, and.
lecture or read papers.
5. That such Institute hold two days,
with four or five sessions, as circumstances
seem to dictate.
G. That the Secretary of theState IU ard,
with a local committee at tbe place of holding such Institute, be empowered tc make
up the program for that special occasion.
In accordance with the above, propositions will be received at the cake cf \he
Board of Agriculture until the 4fVi Jay ot
February next, for holding two Instil utes,
one to be held cemmencing the 1st day of
March, and one the 22d day of March next,
the bids to specify which meeting or date
is intended.
The object of these Institutes is to develop the advantages and possibilities of
agricultural pursuits, to place agriculture
whereit properly belongs as affording opportunities for the highest culture of mankind with the greatest enjoyment and
happiness. In view of this, it is hoped
tbat these trial meetings will meet with
such encouragement as to manifest the
earnestness of the faiming community iu
their own behalf.
