He is the highest priced horse ever imported we believe, and is race stock. . Geo. W. Biitingkr, Plymeutb, O., has sold within the past month over a dozen Chester White pigs to parties in this and other states, including one very line one to W. S. Buell, Rush county, this State. A peculiar disease has broken out among the horses and cattle of Shelby county, Ind., which in most cases' is fatal in its effect. Several good horses have died in Jackson and Washington . townships, as well as a number of cattle. Suffolk pigs, fed with milk when first weaned have frequently been made to weigh 300 pounds at seven months old. The milk should be mixed with bran and oatmeal and thns fed till a sufficient growth is attained to put on fat with cornmeal. The Door Prairie Stock Association, Laporte county Ind., has sold Earl French to Joseph Vance, Canada. This is a two year old Clyde stallion that took first premium at our last State fair. He also took 1st premium in Scotland before he was imported. _—- —. .— The Minneapolis Tribune says that g'-ats are the best land cleaners known. It mentions that a herd of 1,600 entirely cleared a piece of brush land, consisting of 500 acres, in three years. So" complete was the work that not a vestige of undergrowth was left. Rations composed entirely of timothy hay, though not so good for horses as those mixed with clover, yet are preferred by horsemen, and clear timothy commands the highest price. Therefore if hay is to be sold, timothy alone should be sown; but if wanted for home use, a mixture with clover is no detriment. / Mr, A. W. Ross, Muncie, Ind., has sold all his pigs of this year's raising except the very young ones, and has also sold 70 head for breeders and a considerable number of show pigs. Mr. R. has 14 breeding sows for next season, and is breeding from three noted males, viz: Surprise, Victor,No. 1211,and Goldust 3d. Mr. Ross has been breeding Poland Chinas for 22 years, and is almost a constant advertiser in the Indiana Farmer. Professor Henry says: I would urge that our farmers feed more oats to young stock, colts as well as calves. There is no food easily obtainable that will so well correct acidity of the stomach and keep the whole system in good order. To those who wish to raise oalves on very little milk, I would Bay, use oats and oilmeal fr&ely, and by studying the wants of your calves you will be able to raise fine animals on a small allowance of milk.

The Kentucky Live Stock Record summarizes the sale of fine herses in this country for 1882: There were during 1881, 212 yearlings sold, of which number 100 were colts and 112 fiilies, which brought $133,915, an average per head of $631 20. Of the 212 yearlings sold 120 were bred in Kentucky, 39 in Tennessee, 33 in-New York, 14 in New Jersey, and 6 in Pennsylvania. •• The highest price paid for a yearling was $4,500 for the colt Emperor by Enquirer, dam Ver- periight, bought by Mr. t. Lorillard, and he has been shipped to England. The stallions whose get made the highest avej- agewere: King Alfonso, average of ?l,- 161 50 for 21 head, his highest priced one being a filly, the sister to Foxhall. Glen Athol made the next best average of $1,145 on three head. Kingfisher on three head averaged $1,091 66. Highest NATIONAL N0KMAN HOUSE ASSOCIATION.

[concluded.] The following is an essay read by Dr. Johnson^t the Farmers' Meeting in Danville, November 18th: In regard to the practical part in building silos or saving ensilage it is exceedingly simple. A trench excavated in the ground in any place where water will not percolate into it answers a very good purpose. Place a layer of straw in the bottom, cut your green crop, clover,mlllet or corn, place it in the trench compactly, place above a layer of straw and then cover with earth, and if all is well done'yonr clover, millet or corn will keep your lifetime in a juicy and succulent condition so that cattle will eat it with avidity when it is offered them. However complicated and costly ensilage may be built, all of the principles of keeping ensilage are embraced in the pit or trench. Exclusion from the air as much as possible and compression to make that exclusion is all that is necessary to save ensilage in perfect condition. THB AVERAGE SILO is built of wood, stone, brick, or concrete, below the surface, partly above and partly below or entirely above, according to the oapriee of the individual or in adjustment to surrounding conditions. Then the crop to be ensilaged is hauled to the silo, run through a cutter, run into, the silo, tramped down into a compact mass then covered with plank weighted down with weights amounting to 100 to 250 pounds to the square foot, and the process is complete. When necessary to feed it.take it ont from a door at the side or from the top, whichever way is most convenient. OORN OUT WHILE IN MILK appears to make the most valuable ensilage. It will average from 15 to 30 tons per acre. One cubic foot or fifty pounds per day is the usual ration, good for all growing or fattening animals. Invaluable for milk cows is the verdict by an overwhelming majority of those who have thus far experimented with it. SILOS AND COST OP FILLING. . Samuel Adams, Coldbrook Springs, Mass., states in regard to his silo: Size, 36 by 16 feet; depth, 12 feet, made of stone, cost $300: cost of corn in silo per ton, To cents. The most economical feed one can raise, valuo one-third of good hay; oxen and young stock showed a good gain iu growth and in health; wintered 43 head of stock where I usually had 35, and sold $200 worth of hay. E. Allen, New Brunswick, N. J., states: Cost of ensilage, 75 cents per ton. Think it is betteFthin any other kind of fodder; cows prefer it to grain. It makes rich milk, more ^.wholesome for children than grass milk.; Cattle take on flesh rapidly, keep in good condition as to health and flesh. t WHAT OTHEKS SAY. D. Bookstaher, Syracuse, N. Y., says: Two tons, of ensilage is equal to a ton of good hay. the most profitable food ever used. >; ■ : .*. Col. LeGrand B. Conner, Burlington, Vt., by actual weight harvested on three acres 23 tons to the aere, and he further states: It is more'certain as a crop than hay; twice as .many animals can be kept on the same acreage. The labor of feeding ensilage is much less than hay. The space required to store ensilage is not one- quarter that 'required for hay. James Schaffer, Wassaic, N. Y., states: Cost of ensilsgeSOceatsper ton. It effects a saving of grain and forage and cattle thrive better; milk is richer and much more pleasant to the taste. There resulted from its use a.- decided gain in flesh, appetite better, hfJir sleek and glossy and eyes bright. The excellent condition of my stock attracted the attention of numerous visitors. . The profitableness of ensilage lies mainly in tha fact that it can be made to double thestcck.carrying capacity of our farms, sjw^jjthat too at a very small comparatilecfe*w.i----«- '-—<:,;—_-». Geo. Li''Clemens, Southbridse, Mass., states that he raised 25 tons of corn ensilage to the acre. Cost of harvesting and placiug in itliT*j0 cents per ton. Without exception hirf stock thrived on ensilage. It gives a vigor and healthy appearance not seen in hay-fed cattle. He further states: It enables us to make milk and butter in winter as well as in summer, and to keep our stock at one-half the expense of dry fodder. We can keep on the same amount of cultivated land a much larger stock of cattle, thus increasing our supply of manure and the fertility and value of our farms. Dr. L. W. Curtis, Southbridge, Mass., says silos are profitable; 40 to 50 tons of fodder per acre may be grown, which is worth more than 15 tons of hay. I can save my clover in my silo and have it as good as when cut and am not afraid of rain. Wm. B. Eager, West Point, Nebraska, raised on one acre 58 tons of fodder corn. The cost of ensilage for 1881 was 92 cents per ton, including preparation of ground, seed, cultivation, cutting in field, hauling, cutting at silo, placing the weights, putting up doors, fuel for and housing engine. Above statement is indorsed by the West Point Butter and Cheese Association, of which Mr. Eager is president. D. H. Goodel, Antrim, N. H., raises 30 tons per acre of fodder oorn. Can put it in silo at 75 cents per ton. J. P.- Goodell, Peabody, Mass., raises 30 tons to the acre, puts it in the silo at a cost of 50 cents to $1 per ton according to the distance hauled. Three tons of ensilage as good as one ton of hay. This testimony of practical farmers, who are thus solving the problem how to make a living and how to make money by means of farm- ing.could be supplemented by the evidence of hundreds of others, all equally in favor of ensilage, and it establishes beyond a doubt the fact of the cheapness of ensilage, its desirability as a food and its superior value to the dry forage. THE QUESTION REMAINS for us to answer, how much effect here are we to give the unimpeachable testimony ef other agriculturists East and West; in other words in adjusting ourselves to the conditions which environ us here as farmers, are silos to be of evil to us or not? There is this thing in relation to farming in Indiana to-day. We cannot raise beef en-lands worth from fifty to one hundred dollars per acre and compete with ranchmen out on the boundless plains of the great West who are raising their Shorthorns and their Herefords on land not costing one-twentieth as much. It oan oaly be a short time before they will drive us out of all competition by tho cheapness of the product with which they can glut the markets bf the world., We ctvanof continue to make pork the staple product for if that does not bring bankruptcy io the individual it does to the farm. Iii every acre of corn which isj raised In Indiana let tbe interest of the land be added to the cost of tho propar fertilizing material to bring that aere bask to its original condition of fertility, and there will not remain to the farmer over one dollar for his labor of plowing, seeding, cultivating and harvesting. In dairy products we cannot with our method of using five acres of high-priced land to keep one dairy animal a year, compete with the intensified farming of the East where they keep one animal a year on one acre of land, and that too of a natural fertility much inferior to ours, and more than that where by means of silos an d ensilage now they are keeping two animals to a single acre. Withthese incontrovertible facts confronting us I think that it is time for us to be questioning what we shall do to be saved, and how we shall do it? Experiences with Morgans and other Horses. A writer of large experience contributes the following to Wallace's Monthly Having given my reasons for calling Justin Morgan the most prepotent sire, I will now give my reasons for asserting that his descendants, especially the Black Hawks, have, been most uniformily the bestroadstersand family horses. Not long after I first saw Green Mountain Morgan, Gifford Morgan and Black Hawk, I bought near Bennington, Vermont, Morgan Tiger and within ten years from this purchase I bought Champion Black Hawk, Champlain Black Hawk, Bush Messenger, Sharon Messenger Provincial Chief, son of Toronto Chief and Allen Son tag, by Ethan Allen; dam old Sontsg. All of these stallions I took to Ohio where they were bred to the best mares of Eastern Ohio, Western Virginia and Western Pennsylvania. They left a great many colts and they were all bred to the same class of mares, mostly half to three-quarters running blood., The ^roa*ma!''t>f the M6i^M_r8t_vUIdTr£*i,wei-! most without an exception, good sters, and a number of them were first class saddle horses. One or them, a colt of Champion Black Hawk, and a pacing mare, we sold to. a New York merchant for $600 to be used exclusively as a saddle horse. We also sold several others of the double gaited ones for the same purpose, at prices ranging from $300 to $600 when they were four or five years old. I cannot recall one of them that was not more than an ordinary horse and many of them were extraordinary. The produce of the Messengers were not uniform, a few were inferior and a few very superior. There was another difference between them and the Morgans, we only had one or two pairs of them that drove well together, while almost any two of the Morgans would drive like one horse and cover as many miles in 90 consecutive days as the best Messengers. From Provincial Chief, whose dam was by Harris Hambletonian, weget with great uniformity first class roadsters, but with few exceptions too nervous and restive for comfort. In the spring and summer of 1862, I had some large wool contracts. I bought .most of it in the hilly, almost mountainous, countries of Northeastern Ohio, and Northwestern Pennsylvania. A large part of it I toek direct from the growers in clips of 100 to 600 fleeces-rgoing from place to place in my own conveyance. I drove a pair of Morgan mares, well mated in size, action, and disposition. During the time a very heavy rainfall filled those narrow valleys with "rushing torrents, which tore up the roads for miles together and left them almost impassible, yet when I had been driving 30 consecutive days over roads never good and then unusually bad, I footed up and found I had averaged over 50 miles per day. Those mares never missed eating a feed in that time, never appeared tired, and looked about as well at the end as at the beginning. I am one of very many who have had like experi- ence with the produce of those Morgan horses and mares well up in runifing blood. I have never talked upon this subject with any man who had given the Morgans a fair trial as a cross with good mares having a strong Infusion of running- blood, who was not well satisfied with the mi»nd most especially so with the uniformity with which they got good roadsters and family horses. John H.Wallace says: "In the relations, duties and pleasures of the road and family horse the Morgan has never had his equal in this country,, no difference what the bloed." This is a "confirmation strong as proofs of holy writ," because it is the testimony of one of the most competent living witnesses, and is "the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Some one may say: "Admit all this and more, of what practical value is it now when the true original type of Morgan horse is extinct?" I am afraid he is, but Mr. Wallace advises that search be made thiB advice. It seems to me there is nothing relating to the horse ano*his uses of more impoitince at this time. In the families bf Rysdyk's Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief, both descendants of imported Messenger, we have the material to breed great speed at the trotting gait with reasonable uniformity, moreover we have only to stick close to those lines to insure success. This question which has been a mooted one is now settled and practically out of court. The progress made in breeding the trotter and fixing the trotting instinct within the last ten years has only to go on in increasing ratio the next five years and we will have the horse that will flee for his life in the trot, and this will not be in isolated instances, every well managed breeding farm will have youngsters that will do it. <H ctcritxary.

They eat hearty and are in good order. J. A. H. Your sheep have mange. Make strong tobacco ooze by boiling about half a pound of tobacco in three pints of water, »r as much as will make the decoction pretty dark. To one quart, add one ounce of corrosive sublimate and four ounces of spirits of turpentine, then part the wool over the blisters scarify the blisters with a sharp knife and drop one or two drops of the medicine in the cut; have a goose quill run through the cork to drop through. Keep a tight coik in the bottle while not using it. Cut it Open. I have a mare that has a soft swelling on the right shoulder, a little below where fistHla generally begins, and where the collar rests; the swelling spreads over 5 or 6 inches,ard is soft,asif it contained water or blood; the sore seems to be internal, as the hide is net injured er bruised; gets worse when I work her. D. E. B. Take and open it. Rmn a knife in at its lower edge, open it wide; running tbe knife upward. Make a stiff pleget by rol- ing a piece of brush with muslin, sn,< ar it with Venice turpentine, introduce it into the cavity, take a stitch in the lip of the cut, run a stout thread throagh, which knot by a slip knot to a similar thread on for the ones nearest like him male and I knot by a slip knot to a similar thread on M female and by inbreeding get back to the I the end of the pleget; take out daily, clean rr3 original type or as near it as possible.
