Poweix Bros, have just received two fine shipments of Clydesdale horses from abroad, arriving in good condition. The public sale of superb Short-hom cattle by J. Baugh & Son, takes place at Lafayette, Ind., October 12, at the fair grounds. _—. . S. S. Eabhabt, Clinton oounty, Ind., have sold and shipped to David Earhart, Nashville, Tenn., several fine Poland China pigs. . We have just heard of the arrival of Mr. Robert Craig, of Greenwood, Ind., from Scotland with a lot of superior Clydsdale stallions and mares of different ages. Among the lot is the noted two year old' fillie, "Lady Evelyen." . , Mr. J. W. Maccoun & Son, who advertise a large herd of Short-horns for sale, near Danville, Ind., on the 11th of October, are among the oldest and best breeders of the State. They have a fine lot of cattle, all of which will be sold. daily of the lower grades.Jand hence it is clear that a reduction of the present duties will be ruinous to the wool growing interests of our people, and will compel many now engaged in this pursuit to turn their attention to other branches of agricultural industry. Against such results we desire to present the respectful, yet earnest and emphatic protest of the united wool growers of Ohio." Pbkhaps one of the largest sales of fat cattle ever made in the State was the late one of Messrs. Lockridge and Bridges. The sale embraced 3,300 head, averaging 1,500 pounds, to be delivered at Albany, N. Y. A. M. Lockridge <fe Son sold to the same party 1,000 head, averaging 1,550 pounds. Many of them were pure bred Short-horn steers from the head of Hon; S. F. Lockridge, a total of 4,400 head, amounting to about 5445,000. They are being shipped at the rate of thirty-five" car loads per week. ■ . The Wool-growers Association of Ohio at their recent meeting at Columbus,;that state, unanimously passed a resolution in favor of a protective tariff for the needed legitimate industries. In regard to wool production they passed the following: "That the present duties on unmanufactured wools are not sufficient to accom- plsh the object above stated, and, therefore, we desire to assert this opinion, that if these duties are to be changed, tbey should be increased. It is well known that the existing tariff on wool permits a considerable annual importation, espe- Will it hurt the wool of my sheep to let them run around a straw stack this winter? R. A. L. We do not know of any harm it would do them. Increasing Demand for Meat Abroad. The English live stock industries are alive to the fact that other countries must furnish a considerable supply of food, and that this condition of things are rapidly increasing. Referring to this fact the National Live Stock Journal summarizes the English view of the question as follows: A careful estimate, according to the figures given, brings out the fact that a comparison of the production with that of consumption shows a deficiency of 793,000 tons of meat, and 8,500,000 tons of grain. These deficiencies must be made up by importation from other countries. Returns show that the cattle of France and the sheep of Great Britain are decreasing in numbers, while the population of Europe is growing more dense, the annual increase being 3,000,000. The present food supply produced in Europe is said to be sufficient for its inhabitants during eleven months of the twelve, but at the rate of decline the opinion is given that not very far ahead the shortage will be represented by two months, instead of one, or a doubling of the deficiency. The English press is quite inclined, natuialiy, to keep attention directed towards their own colouiesasgrowingsourcesof supply. Especially is Australia quoted as already giving a good supply in this direction; and it is predicted that the prospective development of her resources will enable her to send forward frozen, canned, and otherwise preserved meats, in incredible quantities. South Australia is said to grow about one ton of wheat to each inhabitant, counting all ages. New Zealand is said to be able to send annually 1,000,000 frozen sheep. The annual increase of sheep in Australia is reported at about 22,000,000, one-half of which can be spared for shipment. Reference is made to the prediction of Consul Murray, in 1834, that the day would come when America would feed Europe; but the English, while they naturally expect to look te this country for heavy supplies, take pride in citing the resources of their own colonies as great aids in this direction. That they will be, of course there can be no doubt. However, while the English are great eaters of beef, and they require this to be of the best grades, they will find that for a long time to come the quality of. Australian beef will be quite ordinary when compared to the product from the States. This latter, too, is undergoing rapid improvement, and the quotations of the best grades will always be high. Tho principal consumers of meat are those who discriminate very closely as -to the quality; and the largest portion of this class are able to buy good meats, and will have no other. In this particular they will not go backward, but, on the contrary, any cultivated taste becomes more and more exacting as it is habitually ministered to. We quote the following figures as showing the total meat product ofthe countries named. These figures (the first representing the product of each, and the second the consumption) refer to the three articles, beef, mutton, and pork: United Kingdom, 69; consumption, 109. France, 55,70; Germany, 61, 66; Russia, 49, 47. Austria, 57, 53. Italy, 20, 18. Spain and Portugal, 60, 48. Holland, 62, 48. Belgium 44, 74. Denmark, 124, 76. Sweden and Norway, 70,70. Roumania, 56, 69. Europe, 55, 60. During 1881, Europe paid .-35,000,000 sterling for meat from abroad, and £85,- 000,000 sterling for grain. This is an increase, .which is shown by the following figures: In 1660, 91,230tons; value, -.4,390,- 000 sterling. In 1870, 144,2_5; value, £7,708,000 sterling. In 1880,650,300; value, £26,612,000 sterling. For each inhabitant this was, in 1860, 7 lbs.; 1870,10 lbs., and in 1880, 40 lbs. It is claimed to be shown by these figures that the English supply is sufficient to give their own people as much meat as is consumed by Frenchmen or Germans. The imports of living animals for food have thus far, according to the English trade returns, as given by the English press, been greatly in excess of any previous year. For the first five months of 1882, the number of oxen, bulls, and cows imported was 21,432 in excess of the same period last year. On these the increase in value was £485,916 sterling. The importations of sheep have exceeded those of last year by 104,328, at an increased value of £210,453 sterling. Theimportations of pigs has greatly fallen off. The importation of dead meats is also stated to have fallen off largely. The quantity of bacon is reported as being much less than heretofore —fully one-third less than in 1880, during same period. - ; It is quite clear, we think, that the beef animal of the future must be an improvement upon what be has been in the past' with ns, if we would maintain the full advantage of our position in furnishing beef; to go into the better markets abroad. No; matter what the competition from other* quarters, so far as the character of that competition is now concerned, if it below our standard, the same rule will govern that acts in fixing values on all other products. The rule that holds with creamery butter, as compared to country firkin-packed, will apply to our best beeves; and, notwithstanding the efforts made on the other side to keep up a dia- tinction against beef grown and fed oil this side, every day's operations will go to establish that such distinctions have no, basis upon any disqualifying characteristic* in the meat itself, and, like any other, disingeneous effect, will drop out of sight. » » . r ■ Founding Herds. }</ It is far easier and cheaper now to found herds than in the early days of stock fanning. There is no longer excuse for breeding scrub stock. Touching this matter the Stockman very well says: The time was when good foundation' stock for a herd of cattle could riot be procured without great difficulty, often not; without exportation, and never without great expense. But it is now quite differ; ent. The tnan who does not wish to import can establish himself with finely-bred animals from choice strains without going beyond the Atlantic and very often without going out of his own state or neighborhood. In the matter of price, too, the new beginner fails to meet with the discouragement which would have faced him had he lived a generation ago. While there are many individual animals in this country which are held at strong fancy prices, it is indisputable that intrinsically meritorious and- faultlessly-brett stock can be procured at a reasonable figure. It does not require a purse of wonderful length to get a fair start in this most fascinating business. A small beginning] with a few choice animals, managed judi- ciouslyand bred from consclentiously,gives the beginner all the capital which is absolutely essential. We would not detract from the importance of importing stock indeed it is necessary that this fresh infusion of blood should be kept up. But the day is past when the man who does not wish to import is so handicapped by that fact as to materially affect bis business, in ordinary lines of breeding. •■ This department la edited by SB.

There is good reason, founded on experience, to believe that bluestone solution of proper strength will kill every smut germ in the seed, and that none will be propagated from it to affect the crop if the seed is sufficiently steeped. But a slight sprinkling of the solution is not sufficient for seed that contains smut grains, or sacs; they must have time in soak for the solution to penetrate and reach all the millions of germs which each of them contains, or they will retain their vitality and affect the growing crop with the seed of which they are sown. It may also be, and frequently is, no doubt, infected from smut grains of a previous crop on the same ground. As • rule, while bluestone sprinkling will answer for seed tbat contains few or no unbroken smut sacs, it is better to give it all a thorough soaking for assured protection Irom the smut infection.—Contra<>.KtaOae«?tt4», anr/aail if :*,■■■ - -■••V*'_! •'

daily of the lower grades.Jand hence it is
clear that a reduction of the present duties
will be ruinous to the wool growing interests of our people, and will compel
many now engaged in this pursuit to turn
their attention to other branches of agricultural industry. Against such results
we desire to present the respectful, yet
earnest and emphatic protest of the united
wool growers of Ohio."
Pbkhaps one of the largest sales of fat
cattle ever made in the State was the late
one of Messrs. Lockridge and Bridges. The
sale embraced 3,300 head, averaging 1,500
pounds, to be delivered at Albany, N. Y.
