B. F. Snyder, Liberty, Ind., has recently purchased a pair of Scotch Galloway
cattle.
Mr. J. IIosiial, Clinton county, Iowa,
who advertises in our breeders directory,
bas the gennlne English Berkshire hogs
we are informed. They are bred from recorded imported stock.
 A,	
A yearling ram may run with 30 ewes,
a two yesr old one with 40 to 60, and a
three year eld one with 50 to 60. Some
very strocg, extra developed ones will
serve 70 t'o 80. But 00 is enongh if they
run with the ewes.
Mr. S. W. Dukoan, Johnson county
Ind., announces in our advertising columns a sale of some extra fine Cotswold
sheep, out of his snperb flock. This will
be a rare opportunity of obtaining some
excellent breeders from one of the best
known flocks.
By reference to onr advertising columns
it will be seen that ihe first of tho series of
oombination|Short-horn eales, inaugurated
by Messrs. S. R. Quick & Son, will take
place at the Union Stock yards near this
city, September 26th. Both the character
of the breeders who furnish drafts from
their herds, and the strains of stock offered,
will undoubtedly attract a large numbc r
of people to the sale, which is put on the
first day of the State fair.
We have said something already ofthe
necessity of the proper selection of rams.
When it is remembered that ono ram during
his lifetime will get from 800 to 1,000
lambs, and that many of these will perpetuate his good or bad qualities to their
numerous offspring, the importance of selecting a good inimal is very apparent. A good Merino ram, it is believed,
will add more than a pound of wool to the
fleece of the dam on every lamb got by it
from a common wooled ewe, and here is
one hundred and fifty pounds oi wool for
the use of a ram for a single season; and
every lamb subsequently got by him adds
a pound to this amount.
IMPORTED NOBMANS.
Messrs. E. Dillon A Co., arrived in
Bloomington, 111., July 29th with their
new importation of 103 Norman horses.
They sailed from Havre, France, July 10th,
andarrivedin Ne w York.July 25 withstock
all in good condition. Their importation
this season eonsists of young animals
mostly two and three years old, and principally dark dapple greys and somo beautiful bays and blacks. All who hqvo seen
them pronounce them a very fine lot of
horses. Tbe firm spent three months in
selecting ihem, and have tried hard to
make this the best importation they have
ever made^  •
Kentucky Cattle Sales.
During this season 455 head of blooded
cattle have been sold in Kentucky, at an
average price of §300. Of the total, 225
head, costing $318 apiece, remain in tho
Stato, and 226, averaging f282 apiece, go to
other states.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
At commencement of my article in last
weeks Farmer it- should read, "since I
last reported sales to you"—instead of
"since my last importation;", as I have
never imported anything as yet, but hope
someday to be ablo to visit the Short-horn
districts of the old word.
Geo. W. Thomas.
Homer, Ind., July 31.
Short-horns Still Ahead.
Bell's Messenger says of the Short-horns
at tho late show of tho Royal Agricultural
Society:    '
"It was a no less hopeful sign to seo the
cattle classes so well filled, and especially
pleased were we to find that the appearance of the Short-horn classes furnished a
most complete answer to an assertion one
often hears of lato to the effect that this
particular breed is losing gound. That
they are iri as great demand as ever, was
manifest from the fact that there were several new names among the exhibitors and
a most promising show  of young stock."

Sure Death to Lice.
Take bar of  common soap; place   in a
pan containing a little water; then  heat
until melted down; then add carbolic acid
crystals (carbolio acid crystals can be had
of  a druggist  in   one-pound  bottles  at
seventy-five cents each), at least one ouuee

is no danger if used  stronger.   To reduce
the crystals to a  fluid, state remove  the
cork from the bottle,  place in   water and
heat   the  water,   when   it may  be easily
poured  out and  mixed  with   tho  soap.

Demand for Polled Cattle.
The North British Agriculturist says
there is rapidly growing demand forthese
cattle.   It says:
With the incressed demand—altogether
unparalleled in its intensity in Scotland—
prices have since last year aimost if not
wholly doubled, and are now vary high indeed for anything decently good looking
and fairly well bred. And we do not think
they are at tbeirhighest point yet. Scotch
breeders of polls have been tempted of
late to part with animals that only a considerable encroachment on the "three figures" woujcl have secured; but when foreigners come so many thousands of miles
especially for stock, thoy will stretch a
point even in dollars rather than return
withautthe object of their long and expensive journey. Remote and insignificant indeed is the polled herd that has not
been visited oftener than once during the
last twelve months by intending purchasers, either from home or foreign countries.
Many a breeder, too, has been "held at his
first price," and a considerable margin still
left for profit.
A gentleman who has been repeatedly
over the polled country sinco this time last
year in search of stook, assured us tbe
other day that polls were now very difficult
to procure, and dear to buy. AU the stock
that would be readily sold or could be
bought at what used to be considered moderate prices he said had been 'picked up.'
Breeders had reduced their herds numerically as far as they had any desire meantime to do. Gold has a powerful effect,
and the long purses of the foreigners may
still induce several breeders to cut deeper
into their breeding stock. It would be a
mistake, however, if they were .thus early
to yield to the dollar and weaken their
parent hive, so to speak. They need not
fear the continuance of the demand and
high price, now that the Americans and
Canadians have got a fair taste of the material of whioh tho polls aro composed. A
few weeks ago a Fifeshire gentleman informed us that an Amerioan friend of his
was about to visit this country, or send a
commission, for some forty polled animals. Later still, the editor of a London
newspaper asked us Where a Kansas stock
owner should go to get about a hundred
polled animals during the present summer.
It thus seems obvious that the demand
for tho northern polls is greatly in excess
of tlie supply. A question naturally
arises, wolild the polled Galloways be a
good substitute? We have no doubt they
would. A considerable number of Scotch
breeders thrre aro who wouldgi ve the choice
to Galloways. For moist climates, and
where most of   the animals'  existence is
passed out of doors, we believe there are
few if any sorts equal to the Galloways.
The northern polls have the reputation of
being earlier maturers; but of course the
system of feeding has much to do with
that, and, moreover, it is not every breed
that has the good fortune to have a
M'Combie or man like tho late boarer of
that name to bring the stock into fame
over the world. The Galloway polls are
capital gre zers, and carry a large quantity
of good flesh. If they were treated to as
liberal diet as Short-horns and polled
Aberdeens intended forexhibition usually
are, they probably would compare, from
a butcher's and grazier's points of view,
favorably with them.
As it is, several consignments of Galloways havo crossed tho Atlantic, and have
proved remarkably well. Some bulls of
the breed sold tho other day at Chicago
brought excellent prices. In this country
Galloway cattle breeding pure has not
spread teyond the counties of Dumfries,
Kirkcudbright, Wigtown, and Cumberland; but throughout the east Border
Counties, as well as in several parts of
England, the cross between the Galloway
cow and Short-hern bull has long been
popular, and deservedly so. There is
every likelihood, however, of a stronger
American demand for pure Galloways at
no distant day. The hardiness of the
breed, and its adaptability for grazing purposes, on by no moans the richest of keep,
should be a special recommendation in
the vast prairie3 of the far West. Galloways will live and thrive where some varieties of. cattle would almost starve. Tho
flesh they accumulate, moreover, is of the
very best character. These qualities specially fit then* for exportation and for
"roughing it" in the large American and
Canadian ranches. • v
road work I know nothing equal to the
well-bred French-Canadian horse. The
best places probably to purchase theso
horses would be Toronto in Upper, and
Quebec in Lower Canada. They may be
found, however, at other towns, and in
some districts of cur own States bordering
the Canadas. But I should think these
horses rather too small fer Iowa farm
work, and that it wsuld be better there to
use a larger breed of horses like the Percheron or Norman, which,except in considerably greater size, are essentially like the
French-Canadian in all their points. These
have teen extensively introduced into the
Western States during the past ten years.
There must be plenty of the half-bred
now there, or at least near Chicago, got by
these stallions out of gcod-sized native
mares. I presume such may be had at
moderate prices, though not so low relatively as the Canadians. If the latter
were taken to Iowa to breed, in that milder
climate, reared with more abundant grain,
the size of iheir produce might be easily
increased from generarion to generation,
till at last they became as large as a moderate Percheron.—A. B. Allien.
The French-Canadian Horse.
This was kept up for a long time in
Lower Canada as a true breed, and "still
exists to some extent. But latterly it has
beOn considerably mixed with English
horses,- more particularly where the old
boundaries of Upper and Lower Canada
approach each other. The true Canadian
horse was usually about 14\i hands high
(58 inches), and weighed about 900 pounds;
the extremes might be 14 to 15 hands, and
800 to 1,000 pounds. Thoy are pony-built,
that is, very compact in form, with legs of
medium length. They have a good crest,
fine head, broad ferehead, and glowing
eyes. ; The neck is rather thick and short
than long and slender. If they showed
the latter it would denote an English
cross. The mane is thick, the tail bushy,
and the fetlocks somewhat shaggy. Their
limbs and joints are very Btrong, and their
hoofs clear, and well set up at the heels.
They are extra hardy and enduring, kind-
tempered, courageous and dooile. They
scarcely ever refuse a pull, and are not apt
to balk even at the hardest sort of work.
Their action is free, easy and smart, both
on the walk and trot. Occasionally ono
turns out a very fast trotter.
They are economically kept on rough
forage, except when hard at work, and
then, of course they require, like all other
animals, better feed.   For light farm and
Southdowns at the Boyal Shows.
The London Times of July 13 says of
the show of Southdown rams at the Royal
Agricultural Society's exhibition at Reading:
"The. Southdowns number 74 entries.
Here it appears evident that the Duke of
Richmond and Gordon, Mr. W. Rigden,
and one or two other exhibitors of fame,
fail to keep in the formost rank, their
sheep being greatly surpassed in quality
by others. The Prince of Wales takes the
second price and twohigh commendations
for shearling ranis, the prize sheep, however, showing signs of delicacy. His royal
highness also wins the third prize for ewes.
Ono of the best rams which have boen produced of late years ia Lord Walsirigham's
first prize shearling, very wide both In
front and behind, level and grand in back,
loin and leg of mutton, and of true and
robust character. For two shear rams,
Lord WaUingham is again first, and Mr.
J. J. Colman, M. P., second, with the fine
sheep which was first at the late Norfolk
show."
Nearly  32 Bushels Wheat Per Acre.
Kdltors Indiana farmer:
Last week the Faemkk stated that my
wheat everaged 31 bushels* per acre on 70
acres. I had 2,224 bushels on 70 acres,
lacking just 16 bushels of making 32bnsh-
els p'er acre. The straw of the 70 acres
and that off of 11 acres of oats ground
were all put in one stack. The 11 acres of
oats threshed ont 462 bushels. The straw
stack was 90 feet long, 40 wide and 45 high.
The last half day's threshing took 14 men
to stack the straw; the two days previous
10 men. The threshing of the whole was
done in 2J4 days. Cost of labor on straw
stack f 00. R. Mitchell,

Cut Them Out, Etc.
I have a healthy mare; she has three
hard lumps about the size of a one-half
ounce lead ball on the shoulder where the
collar bears. When she works they chafo
and become inflamed; they aro hard and
gristly and appear to  be just in the skin.
J. A. O.
Either cut them out or paint with tincture of iodine twice daily for a week or so.
I have a good two yesr old colt with
small very dark hazel ej#es, all right so far
as we cau see now, but a few of my neighbors say it will go blind when five years
old; its sire and dam havo good eyes; the
cause assigned is its small eyes; the colt
weighs 1,000 pounds, is part Norman.
A. B. T.
The quality, not size, determines the future soundness of its eyes; if clear and
bright, with no milky or bluish tint, the
eyes may keep sound.
A Neglected Case.
I have a horse that became quite lame
last fall in his left foreleg, remained so
uutil tho fiist of January, at which tin.fj
we began working him aud ho becamo
very lamio in tho other leg; sometimes
shows symptoms oj foot lameness, other
times shoulder lameness, suffers the most
excrutiating pain when turning around or
in backing. A Readkh.
In the first place you let him go to long,
but if you will lacate ihe disease I will
prescribe for him.
Ruptured"!
I have a mule colt, two months old, that
ia ruptured, was foaled so, his entrails
comes down at times as large as a small
goose egg, at other times cannot discover
that there is anything the matter with
him. J. P.
You must devise a cempress bandage to
rest upon tho parts, it is a very difficult
thing to do and cannot te readily explained; some one should invent something of the kind.
Spasms.
I have iti pigs that were pigged in March;
they have been well fed on corn, slopped
on bran and run on clover, look well and
still eat well, tut as many as 20 of them
bavO what we call thumps, two have died;
they have good shade and water; I havo
been feeding them some copperas and turpentine in their blop for the past few days,
but see no good effect yet. Sub.
Your pigs have spasm of tho diaphragm,
feed them the powders so often prescribed
in the Farmer. •
What ails my horse? The top of his
neck seems to bo corded, the sides of ntok
are shrunken, the right fore-shoulder is
sunken a little, he stands with right forefoot forward, seems to be a littlo stiff, has
fever in the neck, his pulse is a littln
strong. T. D.
Take oil of spike, oil cf arganum, aqua
ammonia, spirits of turpentine, spirits of
wine and olive oil, of each, two ounces;
this is for one side of "the neck, tho game
for the other side; rub iu cne-fourth of a
bottle on a side every alternate day, four
applications in eight days, then grease
and let go; the some for the atrophied
shoulder; turn on grass.
v Fistula.
I have a mare that had the poll-evil
eight weeks ago, used blister of turpentine
and flies, which cured it up and healed.
Now she has fistula of the withers; have
applied blister but it is still coming. She
had both last summor but healed up late iu
summer. T. K. B.
Take half a pint of nitric acid and drop
in as much copper as it will dissolve; open
the abscews at top and bottom so tho pus
will run out at its base. Mix one or two
ounces of the acid with an equal amount
of pure cider vinegar, cork the opening at
its base and fill the abscess with the medicine; leave it in until it oommences to iud
out at the top, then pull the cork out and
next day do likewise, and so continue till
well; if too weak make it stronger with
less vinegar. Grease beneath the abscesH
and save the hair. Feed the powders so
often ordered in the Farmkr.
