Your stock will be healthy and maintain good appetites all through the year. A correspondent of the New England Homestead, tells the readers of that paper that Eastern farmers cannot compete with the West in growing pigs, because "to make 100 pounds of pork takes 500 pounds of corn. Now it costs 20 cents to ship 100 pounds to New York; so 500 pounds of corn put into a pig cost 20 cents to ship; but if we ship the corn and grow the pig here it costs five times as much for freight, viz., 100 cents, or in a lot, in one case, $20, in the other f 100, which, you see is quite a difference against us." Mr. G. R. Dvkeman, Shippingsburg, Pa., reports the sale to John Boyd, Chicago Ills., of the following Jerseys: Lena Mullin 9200, and her heifer calf, Lettie D. 12907.. These fine heifers have the blood of Albert 44, the sire of Couch's Lily, three Splendids, Pansy 8, and McClelland.

Editors Indiana Farmer: » In your last issue, with regard to the sale of my colts, you made me say that I received $290 each, at five months old. It should have been $290 for both or $145 each at five months. You will please correct and oblige Owbn Kinoaid. Editors Indiana Farmer: In the Farmer for January 21st, -an article appeared headed "Our Silos and Ensilage," by a correspondent in Essex, Vermont. Would this correspondent please give a full description in the Indiana Farmer of the method of building a silo; also wil us in what stage of growth the crop should be when placed in silo, and whether corn fodder and all is placed in silo without cutting fine ready for feed, or can it be placed in silo, stalk an d all; Howard Co. E. O. W. „ Bo Clydesdales P*yP Editors Indiana Farmer: Under the above caption, Owen Kincaid has an article in the last number of the Farmer, in which he claims the superiority of the Normans. I have no doubt but that both are superior breeds for farmers in this State. Mr. Kincaid's sale was a good one. If I understand his statement he gets five hundred and eighty dollars for his two mares and colts, which is an average of one hundred and forty-five dollars. I have recently Sold four Clydesdale colts for six hundred dollars cash; three of them were yearlings, and one a two year old. Can any breeder in Indiana beat that, either with Clydesdales or Normans? , The stock of farm horses in this State has greatly improved within a few years. This has been brought about in a great measure by the influence of the Indiana Farmer. , E1. S. Frazvse, '^'^r^SSl~^=s^*^S^^^1' Norman Stallion. Imported from France in 1877, by E Dillon <fc Oo . Bloomington, Illinois. Winner of seven first prizes at the Illinois State Fair. hog as to know the ancestors. Suppose for instance that a breeder wishes to buy a pig that is a descendant of Perfection 417, he must look through the whole rocord if he finds them all; when if an index of boar produce and sow produce were added, the task could be performed as easily as to now find all the pedigrees of any one breeder. It would take some time to arrange such an index as I have suggestedibut in the end it would be a great time i/iyer to breeders as well as a great convenience fo them. It would enable each owner of the Reoord to see at a glance the names and numbers of the posterity of each hog. If there are quite a number of pigs from a certain sow or boar recorded, one would naturally suppose such a hog to be a good breeder, but if a hog has been slaughtered and "left no trace behind," breeders ought to know it. The plan for such an Index as I have been thinking of is this: first, take each boar, either in the order they are numbered, or alphabetically, and' arrange the name, number, and page of each of his pigs underneath in a similar manner to the present breeders' and last owners' indexes. Then make a similar one for the sows. I am snre tbat such an,' index to Vols. I., II., and III., published in Vol. III. would present information which would surprise some, but be of great benefit to all. What say you to my scheme, fellow- ^jeders? B. C. H. Moon. Jerome. The above suggestion would no doubt be valuable to a few breeders who are interested in some particular hog, but the objections to such a course are numerous. 1. The index would necessarily be almost as large as the body of the work, if every hog should be thus run out. 2. The labor imposed upon the secretary would be very onerous. •. 3. But few breeders, exoept the owners" or those .interested in some noted hog, would care to look over such a list, because it would only show one element of their pedigree, and for that reason oiTered bnt little valuable information, in fact it would be but a system of double pedigreeing with one system—only a partial and Imperfect one. . but the acres as one to eight. Does the difference in the per cent figure a profit to the 80 acre lot to the poor man? It cannot be so taken. Thinking and scientific men have already warned us of the danger that comes from cutting away forests. Should we not be careful of our resources, and use them to the best advantage? Should we not put as little as • possible, timber into unnecessary orusoless fences? " That the well being of the whole people depends upon such a system of agriculture as will prosper best where the greatest portion of the tillers of the soil are land owners, I will admit cordially. And I believe that it is a hindrance to the prosperity of a country when the land is held in large tracts. But I do not see* that this stock law question touches that of division of wealth in any great degree. I think the poor man's cow should have the grass along the roadside. But I also think she should be allowanced. She should have her three acres of grass. Let the township trustee or road superintendent make an estimate of the pasturage in his township, and license one cow only for each three acres and only one cow, to anyone family. The poor man's hogs should be allowed to roam on the highway —"never, no never." A three strand barbed wire fence should be a lawful fence to keep stock off premises by the road. Let us talk this subject over carefully and kindly,' Bro. Kerr, and brother farmers. H. Lhamino, Jr. Romney, Ind. A Defect in the Central Becord. Editors Indiana Farmer: While the Central Poland China Record is completely indexed as to the names of eich hog that 1* recorded, the breeders and last owners, and the pedigree diagram siiowsthe ancestors of each hog as completely *s could be desired, yet there is no convenient means provided by which the posterity of any given animal can be ascertained. This I consider the greatest defect in the Central Record;for it is often as desirable to know the prosperity of a Fencing Stock In, or Out—Which is the CheapestP Editors Indiana Farmer: . . I have read Mr. Kerr's article in your issue of Jan. 28, with much Interest, and am surprised he should have preached such a sermon from his text. He seems to think that the prohibition of animals from running at large will, abolish' fences. That fencing will make the poor man rich and the rich man poor. That there is plenty of fencing ta tteri&l for all time to come, and that the large land holders should be made to use it that the laboring masses may thereby be enriched. ;' That the prohibition of stock "from our public highways would render our highway fences less ooBtly, all will admit, pasture fences excepted. It is just, right, and fair that every person " owning stock should provide for its welfare, i. e.,feed it, and keep it where it will not be a nuisance to others. But lt takes good fence to keep stock in pasture. The small farm- era have a much greater expense per aore to keep up their fencing, than the large land holders. It take's one and a half miles of fence to enclose 80 acres, but four miles of fence will enclo-ie 610 acres. The amount of fence ia one and a half to' four, Care and Feeding of Stock in Winter. Essay by Hon. F. Beeler, before Marion county Agricultural and Horticultural Society, Jan. 28, *82. I will attempt no learned discussion of the relative value of different feeds and their economy, since that depends in a great degree on the circumstances and conditions, the stock to be fed, and what may be intended for the future. I would say in the first place, begin in time. Do not allow your animals to become reduced in condition beforecommenciDg their winter oare. This I consider an essential in successful wintering, and rest assured that whatever is alio wed to be lost then will be more than double the cost in feed and care that would be necessary to retain it at first. Next I would urge that all young animals be fed sufficient to keep them in an improving or growing condition or at any rate under no circumstances to allow them to recede for a lack of feed, and all animals of. whatever age in what is oillod a good living condition. If an ani mal is iu a low condition when it reaches grass, the system is enfeebled, its diges- tioii impaired and the system generally disarranged, and the result is that under the most favorable circumstances half th) grazing season is passed ere the animal reaches the weight and value it should have had at the commencement of gras>, and the result is that the animtl though, it may be of good stock is rated as a scilla- ,wag,and if sold will bring but a scalUwag price, and the owner instead of realizing a profit on its rearing and care will, if the term may be used, "pocket a loss," and hive the mortification of feeling tuat his neighbor manages better stock, or may c mclude that it is all in luck after all and that he is unlucky with stock; that stock raising is not his forte and perhaps conclude to abandon the business and resort to wheat and oorn until his land is in the same condition his stock was. But I am digressing. I would further urge that all stock should be provided with shelter, not necessarily expensive structures but such at least as will shield them from the rains and snows, and where they can have dry sleeping places when the ground is oovered with snow and slush. I will not attempt to give any particular plan or style for such shelters,ns every man of observation has often noticed the various devices resorted to for the purpose. As to tho particular feed, or varieties of feed, that will vary according to each farmer's facilities for producing the stock, to feed the age of the stock, etc. As the main dependence of this country.corn stands preeminent as a concentrated feed, nor do I think there is any better rough feed than well saved and preserved corn fodder. I The great objection to it is its bulk according to substance and inconvenience of handling and feeding, and the impossibility of keeping any conbiderable amount of such as we usually grow under shelter. In my experience I have never succeeded In bulking any considerable amount of it but that it has moulded so as to be unfit for use. I need hardly say that it is essential to the successful care of stock in winter that we be provided with hay of some kind to supplement our fodder and other feeds. For this, our main dependence is timothy with various mixtures with other grasses and clover, also Hungarian grass, German millet etc. Of these latter, I have found German Millet far preferable both for productiveness and feed. With such as are so fortunate as to be supplied with land sufficient to allow the keeping back a blue-grass pasture for winter ufce,there is little need of feeding much of the time during as open winters as the present. In my own experience I have found early sown rye a good substitute for the pasturage of sheep, calves and pigs, as they eat it with, great relish, and I have found it a great saving of other feed. I would not recommend it for older &tock,or rather I should say that I would not recommend that heavy stock be pastured on it from the fact that they would destroy the rye and injure the ground. Stock, like ourselves, like a change and enjoy it, and the stock-owner should provide it, and it will be to his profit to do so. Pumpkins can be raised very easily and, according to the amount produced from the ground used and labor expended, very cheaply; are relished by all kinds of stock and are very fine for late fall and early winter. Our common flat turnip is raised with little labor, yields largely on suitable ground and is easily saved and is greatly relished by stock in the early spring, especially sheep. Irish potatoes when plenty and cheap may also be fed to good profit. I find both turnips and potatoes good feed for mich cows when used in connection with other feed, hay and bran or meal,causing quite an increase in the yield. One other matter I ' would urge before closing and which will apply to all seasons, all circumstances and all varieties and breeds of stock, and that is, kindnes?. Treat them so that they are glad to see you, so that they will come at your call, will gather around you and show by th actions that it considers you as its friend and protector to whom he can come for safety and protection, rather than an enemy whom they should shun. If you intrust their care to others, allow no supplies of whips as a part of their daily allowance of provender, or clubs as a portion of their solid allowance. Let the voioa be kind and gentle rather than harsh andstormyandexciting; that of the spring breeze, not of the angry storm. ^tttxxxxixxx}* This department Is edited oy Dr. John N.

Editors Indiana Farmer: There are four or five townships in this county, Vanderburg, that have had the fence law in force for two years, and tbe people like the law very much. They would not do without it again, for th*y now understand its advantages. As for the poor man's cow, she can find pasture in some neighbor's field if her owner is an industrious and honest man, and if not let bim abide by the consequences. I think every man who wants his own and nothing but his own should vote for the legislators that will keep this law in force. Vanderburg C >. j. s. K. Best of all. Editors Indiana Farmer: I must say that the Farmer is indispensable with me. I have received no less than twenty sample copies of different Agricultural papers, published in different states,this winter, and some were good papers too, but as I think none compares with the old Indiana Farmer. May she long wave as the standard of the farming class. W. E. B. Adams. Editors Indiana Farmer: Some gentleman gives Plymouth as his addross, but fails to give his name; wishes an answer by mail, which I.am unable to comply with on that account. Apply tincture of iodine to the eruptions on his cattle's legs, once or twico daily. Editors Indiana Farmer: ' My sheep have for about two 'months been having sore oyes;at times are almost, blind. Theyget sore alternately, then partially heal, then begin running again.. The sheep show no otlier signs of disease, eat well and seem healthy, all but weak eyes. A Subscriber. Cut the vein beneath the inner corner of the eye, bleed one pint. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a horse that was kicked on the* stifle; he is very lame; there is a lump on the stifle about as large as a tin cup. I do not think it is out of place. What shall I do for him? J. S. Blister severely for several days. See blister in prior numbers of Farmer. H that does not remove it, you must have it cut out.

I can catch lie-" formerly was wild; bangs lit,-., of the time. Subs She has either cataract, or an ^«o< of the brain. Cut a vein immediately »,». low each eye. It is scarcely practicable to cut cataract of a sheep's eyes, except a very valuable animal. Try the egg cure so of ton given in the Farmer. Editors Indiana Farmer: Please te!l me what to do for a mare that has a lump on her neck; it mado its appearance about eighteen months ago,, while thin in flesh; when in good condition cannot be seen. Last spring it began growing agaiD, it first appeared on the left side of her ne<'k just back of jaw, then on the other side, now there arethreesmal- ler ones, making five, one being upon the side of tne head under the throat latch. They can be moved about with the hand, don't seem to be very sore. She cannot get her head down very low, nor bear a tight rein, she is in good condition, eats heartily ?and hair looks well. Pleasestato what it is and oblige a reader. T. J. C Thoy are enlarged glands. Editors Indiana Farmer: What must I do for my calf? I feditmilk, and I put/in some meal ior three days, and it gave it the scours. I then quit the* meal but continued with the milk, and Jed some dry bran, but the calf does ■ not get any better. J. W. B. Take a piece of rennet as large as a medium sized hickory nut; break it into a quart or more of milk; heat it until it curdles; give it to your ealf, continue- twice daily if necessary. Pepsin, a doso for a man, if repeated, will also cure, or tannin, four grains; tincture opium one- drachm ; tincture kino, one drachm; milk one quart; repeat if necessary. If cos- tiveness comes on, which is often the case, physic with castor oil, a phyBic in the first place might stop the derangement. Baiters Indiana Farmer: My yearling mule had wheezing distemper, 12 weeks ago. I thought he got well; within the past week, all his legs have swelled to double size. . largest at knees, some soreness and light fever In them; no swelling on body; health and appetite good;eyes a>id countenance natural; bowels aid uriiio regular, exoept s ight costiveness; have bathed legs four times with c<al oil, no other tieatmerit. Will you be so kind to describe dKease palled Pink Eye at your earliest convenience. J. M. 11. In describing Pink Eye, the shortest way is to say there is no such disease, ex- C3pt in theimaginati >n of quacks. Your mule has either a case of Catarrhal fever, and inflammation of the parotid glands, called influenza combiuis or farcy. If the former, its pulse is disturbed, feverish quick remedy: Keep the legs constantly wet with tincture of arnica, one ounce to a pint of cold water, continue till well. Drop tincture of acoDite root half a dram, on the tongue, and in two hours the same of tincture of belladonna, use alternately every two hours, the less coal oil you use the better, lt farcy, aend tor remedy.
