THK SHEEP AHD WnOL IKT1.EZSTS THIS COUJeTHY. The fact that we hltll have tolmport largo (,natltities of wool to supply the American demand, Js quite enough to susrgtsi that tbejre is au lmiiieut-e field for the sheep Iireeders in the future. The Americin Cultivator has quite an iritere:-tinjr ^niele on thissuljact irotB which we give the following: A glanco at Boroe stistlstics furnished by fading wool inpl-nhauts show, amongother things, that in I8S0 thero wereennsumed in woolen goods, from -our own and foreign looms, at a fair estimate, four pound* of wool to o.'.ch person, or 125,000,000 pouuds in routul nutnb'^s. Tho population of the United S"Ut«-K is now lS-.f'O'.'.OOO larger than it was in 1-Cj. Tho iin-rease has doubled once in twnity-'.nreo years. Consequently the population ten years hence will be about 61,000,01)0, requiring 2'6,mK),0i-0 pounoB of vool. Alliwin^ the avoia^e weight of the fltoccs to incresse lo four pounds per flsece by the dissemination of mutton breeds end improved Merinoe, there would be rt quired 64 000,000 flueies yearly, or g5,K33,3:.3 if the fleece should average ouly threo pounds, to supply the home demand alono. This mathematical calculation is a very simple one, but lt shows at a glance one of tho reason3 why our farmers should be encouraged In the business of raising sheep, both lor wool and mutton. Tne last session of tbe last Congress, and the first session of the next Coneress, are not likely io tinker with the wool tarttt, unless it be in favor of American producers ot tho staple. K-cent oveuts have demonstrated to the wool-growers and agricultut- isus of this country that thero is a field more vast than their imagination can take ln, in tho expausion of the worsted industry and the consequent increased demand far the finer grades of wool. Hence more attention should be shown to the growth or long and luster wools; and indeed, the combing-wool Industry, as numerous statistics published from time to time, have shown, has become more nnd more important, from year to year. Clothintt woo'», aro produced in superabundance the world oyer, while there Is a deficiency of long combing wool*. Tne Increased manufacture of worsted fabrics in the United States depends to a condslderabio extent upon a full supply of home-grown, long combing wool. It lathe growing of the lomr combing wool and its manufacture which have contributed co largely to tho prosperity of England; but England to-day st»ea In the increased manufacture of similar goods ln this country an innovation which sho hardly approv-s of, but regards with a spirit of jealously. The thirty millions or more of sheep which England supports are mainly such as pro duce the description of wool wo have been discussing, Tn Franco, as well as to England, the worsted maiitifetcture IsaiiiniiMirlantiiOUree of wealth. In France, or nt Paris, where tlio lashlons mostly originate, both in men's and women's wear, the finest wools outer into the manufacture of goods. Manufuc- ttirere, in short, now have to noeominotlale tbeir fjrirlcs to tho cbangoablo tastes, and the couscquonoo isthey nowrequire a large supply of the long, hard, nunhlng wools. TR0TTUTG HORSES. Wallace's Monthly, with almndnnt data, maintains that the law of hereditary ls'3« true lu the brooding of trottitif; horses, as in any other department of stock breeding, and mentions many facta proving this. It «<ld»: Tho trotting hor?o is thoroughly composite. Ho is made up of all elements1, but no fact is hotter eKtablh-hrd than that IiU trotting Kpoed is Inherited through certain lines in his pedigree. With theso upeed linos c!o<rly tlnfiuetl, it. soerm to mako but little rlilTereneo what the "tililing in" may be. Whou wo reach tho point whero thero will Vie no "tilling in," but overy lino a spued lino for four or five generations, we will produce the fierlect trotter. Tho trot will be to him his fast gait, aud wheu you frighten him in the field he will fly on a trot, and when you let bltn extend hims-elt tho first time iu harness, he will show you a 2:10 gait. The mure perfectly his braiding is kept within the trotting lines, tho more cunplete and certain the buoc«fs. The disposition to bronk iuto a gallop Is, oi all things, the most to be guarded agninst. In order to securo jirn-tinal and unmistakable progress, wo deem tho development ot tliesfieod of breeding stuck as of tho very highest moment. With overy developed generation the instinct to trot, and to trot only, is intensitiu.l and strengthened. Tho developed trotter, there-lore, r.dils Something to his Inheritance,and transmits that something along with what ho inherited; But tho undeveloped trotter not only fail- to add anything, but ho reilly weakens the inheritance by lion-UBPr. Tois is tho law of tha ca»e, and it has been ln constant, ex- einpllficitlon in the running horso for more than a hundred vnara. nro Short-horn*; but for milk alone givo me the scrub; but for beef and milk give me tba high grade Hhort-horn.

From the best Inlormalion wo have been able to gather from the rauch from different portions ofthe State wo-belle vo tbat Texas cattle will go through the preeent wlntfr in better condition and with a less percentage of loss from deaths than nsual.

For 'heso reasons wo conclude that the Ktock,;iien of Texas have nothing, from this sjurc-j at least, to fear or to gather dlscour- agetn'/jt. On the contrary, they have mur-.'-fe-ioon wh'cb. to copgralulate them by 'i/tii, rt^hc prospects of t>.o futuro.— rex»H " B-oek Jnnnial, Osmm t a time; hor hips dropped down in tho lirrit fetaue; part bloody urine; a good ap- peiito nil the while; havo treated her to al- imvstoverythingrecommended; intreseenaS healthy every way.

It commenced last: sprinn; would swell break and run, and then heal up; but now there is a little hole and no swelling. He is hearty snd well otherwise. W. J. 8. It ls a fistulous ulcer. Tako five ounces of nitric acid, and drop old copper cents, or any piece ot copper, Into it. Then mix one ouncw with one ounce of purecider vinegar, and ii'j.-ct it into the holes to tbe bottom; use a snipe billed syringe. Ifthe mixture is too weak, put less vinogar in it, until yon get it sttong enough to destroy the walls ot tbo abscess. Fistula. m Kdltora Indiana Farmer: I havo a mare apparently taking flsfula; swelling on left side; seems just ready to brtMk. T110 shoulder has appeared tender fur six or seven monthd. What should be dont? Hun. Nv> wonder joar mare's shoulder would sxtpourato in six months. Why will people neglect their stock so long? If reported in timo fifty cents would have cured hei; now yoa must open the abscoss. Horse Piles. Editors Indiana Farmer. What should be done for a young horse which is troubiod with piles? I have had him doctored apparently to no purpose. J. A. O. Your horse's liver i9 in fault.

Tbe remunerative price of wheat for the past three yeais, consequent opoo tbe exceptionally large yields duriug this time, has led many farmers to put in wheat all the available land they had, thus cutting short the acreage of corn and meadow. The result will be, if it has not already come, that com aud hay will increase in price aud farmers will go back to com and hog?, and raising hay f..: rrr.rlut. , ■■•■'■ There is a tendency among American farmers to grow that crop which one year brings a high price. 80 many thus raising one^CTiip -wrfi boou produce" aii*" over production and tbey will then tako up tho next crop that promises tho best returns. This kind of farming lias a tendency to impoverish the soil; this following of one grain crop after another for two or three years, without any or but littlo mauuie, ia not calculated to keep np or restore the fertility of the land. Would it not be test to adopt a rotation of crops and follow it closely, tbu3 adopting a mixed system of husbandry that will iu the end prove to be th- most remunerative. Before adopting a rotation we should examine the lollowing topics: 1. lis arfaptaiiou to locality. If yon cannot raise a certain crop, owing to the climate, adopt one Mtnilar to it. 2. Amount of cattle food provided. We cannot farm successfully without a large amount of live stock. 3. Value of manure returned to the farm. 4. Effects of crops on the future productiveness. 5. Destruction of weeds. 6. Equal distribution of labor daring the year. Farmers may practice any rotation that will keep down the'weeds and keep up the fertility of the soil. The following I think will very nearly meet the couditions of most farmers: First year corn. 21, roots,potatoes or cabbage. 3d, oats. 4tb, wbeat. 5th and 6th, clover. The flrst and second crops will bear heavy manuring, arid corn may be substituted for the root crop on heavy land; on light land I would.not put so many grain crops in succession. I would bow rye among corn to nse for winter pasture for sheep and calves, and plowing it under for the following crop, thus getting the benefit of the droppings and tho green crop plowed under. The above rotation gives the best distribution for labor. Oats are the flrst crop to be planted in the spring, then oorn, roots, and lastly wheat. Iu harvesting, clover comes flrst, followed by wheat, oats, corn, aud lastly roots. It is hard to get farmers out of the old ru?s and hap-hazzard way of planting crops. If they would adopt the nbwe rotation, or one similar lo it, they would see a great improvement in tbe fertility of the soil. In a future article I m»y show the amount of cattle food fornisbed snd the amount of cattle that may be kept on the farm. G. W. M.
