It R. The farm Is nine and oae-halt miles, by excellent turnpike, fi-em Aurora, where there is ss good a market for farm produce aa there is ln the state. The improvements consist of a two-atory frame hou-e,*i4 foot front, with dining and kitchen ro-ms annexed; a stone milk-house, wood-house, granary, and corn-crib and carriage-house combined, and a capacious barn; all ot which are in good repair ana most conveniently Bltuated. Besides theue iroprovo- menu there is a fine young orchard ot tue very ohoiceat varieties of applee, pears, plums, and cherries; also a domestic vinery that is hard to excel. The yard is handsomely laid out and adorned with many kinds of evergreens. The farm ls well watered and bu front ao to 43 acres of good wood-land, nearly void of underbrush, and well set to grass, which makes It admti-ably adapted to stook raising, Tak- HEW SWINE DISEASE. On Long Island, New York, an alarming and fatal disease has broken out. The farm of Stephen Brothers, at Lloyd's Neck, was the first to receive a visitation, causing a loss of f600 worth of swine. The disease has been variously designated by veterinary surgeons, some pronouncing it hog cholera, while others declare lt to be the black plague. Hogs upon farms in the neighborhood have been attacked with the disease, which"bas invariably proved fatal in a few hours, no method of treatment having yet been discovered that would check it. The farmers are taking every precaution to prevent its further spread and to keep those animals that are well from contact with other?. Oare of Brood Sows. Editors Indiana Farmer: Brood sows should have a liberal supply of vegetable food in winter, especially in long cold winters- like the present, when it is impossible for them to get bluo-grass or any other vegetable matter in a green state, unless the owner has made provision for it, by storing in pits and cellars, such vegetables aa sugar beets, apples, turnips, pumpkins, etc. I like sugar beets, as they are wonderfully productive and %vill keep all winter, and are greatly relished by swine, aa well as other stock, and aid greatly in keeping them in a vigorous and healthy condition. "When sows are thus fed there ia little danger of them eating their young, as there Is when they are feverish from a long continued corn diet. It is an easy matter to raise and store up beets, apples, turnips and pumpkins for this purpose, and the man who does so and feeds them judiciously, will be abundantly repaid for his labor in the increased profit and health of his animals. As a great number of pigs will be farrowed in March and April, I would urge upon farmers the great necessity of providing, If not already done, dry, warm quarters for them in order to save every good pig as nearly as possible, for hoga will be comparatively scarce next year. There are scarcely any pigs being wintered over this winter, mainly on account of the soarclty of corn. In fact, a large number of broeding animals were disposed of for the same reason, wMeh makes it more necessary than ever to raise as many good pigs •_» possible this year. The scarcity of older hogs will undoubted- -_©a_H"a. Ing everything into connSderaUon ltls a most deslr- ■•.„ s„ft„-„„~ n, , - £i^,.?„a._.?i,ymfMta^ influence the prioe next fall and winter.

"" DAY, Sheep Culture ia Kansas-"Will it PayP ' Editors Indiana Farmer: I see several inquiries in your paper in regard to sheep raising In this State, and the best method of getting them. Having made some investigation on that subject, I may be able to give some of the desired information. THE QUESTION, WILT. IT PAT? Depends upon two things, first, the kind of sheep you get, and secondly the care taken of them. With the right kind of sheep and proper care, there is nothing that will pay better. With tho vast increase of population in this country and the growing demand for wool and mutton, it will be a long time before the supply exceeds the demand. The last year we imported over 50,000,000 pounds of wool, which ought to have been produced ln this country. Sheep can be had for one half the increase and half of the wool. SHEEP RANCHES. As to procuring or buying ranches, it is not necessary to invest in them, as there is an abundance of fine grazing lands that are free to any who may come, and sheds and corrals oan be put up while herding duriDg the summer, cheaper than thoy can le bought. As to location I think the southern part of the State the beat. Many who havo been in th9 western part of the State and Coloradoare moving into this part of the State, where better care can be taken of their herds. Among the many counties that are becoming quite popular are Greenwood, Elk, Chautauqua, Cowly, Harper, Sumner, Mitchell and Labette. These afford an opportunity of locating your family in some good town, near by. THE MERINO is the most profitable kind to raise, as they are much hardier than either Cotswolds or Southdowns which cannot be herded profitably in any considerable numbers; then the Merinos are also very fine shearers, where well taken care of. A great many are taking the Missouri and Arkansas, while others are taking tbe Mexican and Colorado sheep, which can be bought after shearing at from 151 50 to ?2 25 per head, and grade up with thorough Merino bucks. This makes a good cross, and very good wool. The great objection though, to this is that a great many of the Mexican and Colorado sheep are more or less affeoted with the scab, giving a diseased flock to start with. Itis better if yon buy, to buy good healthy quarter breeds, and then work up from that. The increase in theState tor the last year was over 100,000 HEAD, and they are being distributed all over the State. Many who have engaged in it will no doubt fail. For success even in sheep is only the reward of "eternal vigilance." And hero I might add a few words of advice to any who may desire to come and engage in sheep culture as a business, Z can only repeat, however, what has been ssdd by others, a sheep to be profitable must have a good healthy body, and this they cannot get by neglect. There is no more affectionate animal than a sheep, and with due care on tbe part of the shepherd he can be easily controlled and cared for. One of the great sources of profit is the wool. This you cannot get in either quantity or quality from a poor thin sheep, so to insure a good clip, the best oi care should be taken of your herd during winter. After the grass is killed in the fall, you shonld begin feeding corn and grain, to keep them in good condition and flesh. THE AVERAGE CLIP for 1879 was about five pounds, and the mortality in tho State a little over 3 per cent. But a few instanoes might bo given to show what care will do in the way of increasing the clip. Mr. Kobert Loy, near. Eureka, cut from 850 Merinoes 9,SM pounds. Prof. Thompson, near the same place, has 1,000 head, he cut over eight pounds average. From another flock ot 750 ewes, 7,500 pounds was cut, and gave an increase of 675 lambs. Jac=>b Wright, formally of Indianapolis, who now has nearly 8,000 bead, just above Winfield, told me he cut about II pounds, and expected nearly 2.0CO lamb3 in the spring. Anj one can tell what the above increase will pay. Mr. Wright estimates the ontire animal cost at from 50c to $1 per head. Parties, though, who expect to come out and buy or take sheep on the shares, and put them out on the prilries, with a boy to herd them, expecting to make money had best stay at home, as sheep make no money for such. It is bet* for those who come to come early and look out a location In time to get sheep, and prepare for keeping them. From 200 to 300 is enough to begin with, unless you have some experience ln the business. They increase as fast aa your experieace will enable you to care for them. Then during lambing time they require very close attention, and extra help. E. H. W. What IeP Editors Indiana Farmer*. I see that Lee McDaniels is to read a paper before the Indiana wool growers, in May, on "What Is the best cross to pnt I upon our common sheep." This is an important question to be decided by many of your readers before another breeding season. I am a new subscriber, and do not kuow to what extent it has been discussed through your colnmns, but I would like to see the claims of the different breeds presented by different breeders, especially the Oxford Downs by T. S. Cooper. Myself and others have been using Cotswold. How fat BttEii we carry this cross? You say "the tendency is to middle and fine wool, and sheop breeders should prepare to meet tho demand." We want to be up to the times,|but the butchers must have those large fat latai^in May. J.C. Cloves, O. ~~——■-—_^ between the top of the hoof and the corronary, severing the corronary irom the hoof; then the corronary will throw out an undivided hoof. Your operator must be careful to not touch above the split. Flatulent Colie. Xditsra Indiana Farmer: Is it botts or colie? My horse is usually hearty and always fat, but probably twice a month will be quite sick, lying down, rolling and showing evidences of great pain. He usually recovers in a few hours, without medicine. C. L. Paris, Ky. Your horse is afflicted with eithei flatulent colic or inflammation of the bowels. If he swells, It is colic, and give him double the amount ordered for mule colt of C. S. If not swollen, give him, far up on his tongue, half a drachm of tincture of aconite root, and the same of belladonna, alternately every two hours, till well. There is no such a disease as bott disease. Botts never hurt a horse. Breed Her. Editors Indiana Farmer: Will you please telL me what ails my mare and what to do for hei? She takes spells as though to make water, but makes little. She will keep it up all day, some times acting that way every few minutes. First took that way when etirrying a eolt; has kept it up ever since. Also have a horse that struck his ankles till they are enlarged; have him cured of striking now. Thanks to you for that. Will blistering take the enlargements away? Agknt. I think if you breed yonr mare she will stop the nuisance. It is a desire of her generative organs. It is well known that mares with foal will copulate every month ot her pregnancy except one. If. this is not effective let us know. Blistering or painting with iodine is all that can bo done for your horse; I prefer the blister. This department Is edited by Dr. John N. Navin, Veterinsry Snr-reon, author ol Navin's Explanatory Stock Sector. Rules to be observed by those expecting correct answers: 1. State tie rate of pulse. 2. Thejor-athing. S. The stasvuns attitude. 4. App**arance of hair. 5. It cough, and secretion from nose, whether glands between the Jaws can be felt, and how near the bone 6. It breathing ls rapid, accompanied by rattle or rushing Boand, no time must be lost ln bllstcrtn*- throat, |hd using tincture of aconite root and tincture of belladonna 20 drops on t«c*rne alternately every two hours, lor time is too short for an answer. 7. Parties desiring answers by raall must enclose a stamp. Dropsy in Speep. Editors Indiana Farmer: Pieasj tell me what is the cause and also the cur*) for dropsy In sheep. E. S. Perhtpa you have not distinguished the differerce between dropsy and the rot. In both diieases water is found in the abdomen. In dropsy the water is of a reddish color, aafl iu rot it is of a greenish color. Query. Editors Iidlana Farmer: Pleasi inform me what ails our cow. She urinater every time she is milked, and the milk is bitter, and she is failing of her milk on gooc feod. Header, Take .bloodroot, flour, of sulphur, sulphate of; iron.black antimony, and resin, of each tw;> ounces; ground ginger and pulv. niter, of each four ounoes; podophyllin, one ouuee; mix. Dose, one teaspoonful three times dally In chop or mill feed. Bone-Spavin. Editors India-- Farmer: I have a mare which has bone-spavin, only of about two weeks standing, and is qul.e lame with It. f, g. q_ Middletown, O. If you have diagnosed the case correctly, blister the parts severely twice daily for ten or twelve days. Rub in well with the hand; uso Spanish fly and spirit of turpentine; one ounce ofthe former to one pint of the latter; grease with lard about the twelfth day. A Lamo Horse. Editors Indiana Farmer: What cart I do for my horse? He has been lame for three months. His right front hoof is split on the inside, and when ho travels tbe blood runs out of the split. I kept greasing it with lard, and have vised hartshorn liniment. L. K. - Have your horse shod with a stout shoe that will >-ot bond, .and under the split form a depression; then take a chisol- pointed iro-i, about one-fourth of an inch wide, heat it to a red heat, and run it in Arabian Colt. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a fine Arabian colt, one year old last spring, wh6n it began to shed. The hair began to fall off tail; at this writing there is but very little hair left; don't rub tail; is in good condition. I have beau told by some that it is hereditary with thia stock of horses; that there are quite a number of theso cotta so aflocttrd. C. A. Is. Your colt is not affected with any uncommon cutaneous disease, for it is very unusual for horses of that breed to retain much hair in the tail up to maturity, and frequently the mane suffers in this climate. This is the cause of the light manes and t-oiaof tbo rare stock in England aud in this country, tie breed having beea largely Arabian. Take proof spirits, six ounces; olive oil, four to six; crude niter, (saltpeter) half an ounce; mix, and rub in once or twice daily. Sweeney. Editors Indiana Farmer I have a mule that had the sweeney in the left shoulder and was lame for a month or two, Lut after being blown up twice it got well. But in a short time afterward he got lame in the left hind leg. I could see nothing wrong except that the left hip seemed to shrink some. After awhile that leg got better, and he got lame In the other hind leg; can see nothing wrong and cannot tell where the soreness Is. He rests the lame leg when standing. He eats as well as common. O. W. T. Your mule has migratory rheumatism, and the cause of the shrinking is resting the leg, throwing the weight of the limb upon the muscles above this shrinkage. Is easily cured. As soon as the cause is removed, drench your mule daily with whisky, one-half pint, with ono lemon squeezed into it and into one-half pint of warm water, like many of our bogus patent medicines, will call it good for man and beast. Cholic. Editors Indiana Former: Please prescribe for my mule colt. One day he appears to bo woll, and the next he will bo quite sick, looking back when standing, and often lying upon his back with his teet in the air. C. T. You give no symptoms of any disease. He may have either of the following diseases, viz.: colic, gripes, inflammation of the bowels, or spasmodic colic. If worms, give him sulphateof iron, a level teaspoonful with one grain of calomel once or twice daily. If flatulent colic, give him tincture of opium, half an ounce; Bulphurlc ether, one ounce; tincture of camphor, half an ounce; tincture of capsicum and of peppermint of each half an ounce in water every two hours. If inflammation of the bowels, drop on his tongue alternately every two hours, half a drachm of tincture cf aconite root, and cf belladonna. If gripes, any stimulant, whisky or capsicum tincture, half an ounce In water every two hours. Distemper. Editors Indiana Farmer: What can I.do for myliorst? He had the distempei, or epizootic, very badly this winter, at first swelllne badly under tho throat and jaws. He could eat nothing for three weeks, consequently got very poor. There is a Jargo lump under his throat that doesn't seem to ho awp.y. His cough has not left him entirely; does, not eat heartily; hair looks very well. T. J. L. Blister the afcecees urder the throat, and use the following: Crude niter, one oucce; carbonate of Iron, two ounces; phosphate of lime, two ounces; ground sarsaparilla, eight ounces; ground sassafras, eight ounces; as-rafceditie, two ounces; Spanish fly, one drachm; blue vitrol, two drachms; powdered iodino, two drachms; ground ginger and capsicum, of each six ounoes. Mix, divide into 45 doses, and give one three times daily in chop, or dronch in water. Give him 80 drops ot" Fowlers' solution of arsenioin his drink, three times daily; increase two drops daily until 50 drops are given. If his hair looks* very bright in 10 or 15 days, stop the arsenic for a few days, then resume it again. Sheep Diseases. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a fine Leicoster buck lamb which" is sick. It will not oat, and when standing; will stretch his hind legs back as far.» possible. He has no bruises that we can find. Also, several June lambs that have the* scours, and the droppings clot to their tails. We have it clipped off, but it accumulates again in a few days. One of them ha» died. Also, a Southdown ram that commenced to rub tho wool off his back within two or three days alter we received him. Wo put sulphur at one time and snuff a£ anothex time on his back, and keep it covered with a cloth. He has quit rubbing himself, and the wool is growing. Was this the right treatment? S. D. ASon. If only diarrhea, feed a little oats dried in an oven or on a pan, with dry hay. If dysentery, take powdered goldenseal, one- fourth ounce; powdered charcoal, one ounce; prepared chalk, one ounoe, ground ginger and catechu, one drachm of each; mix and give a heapened toapoonful in water twice daily; if not well in two days, double the dose. For your Southdown mangy ram, you had bettor boil half a pound of common tobacco in one quart of water, and in theoczo mix in ono-fourth ounce of corrosive sublimate. If tho blisters are not rubbed to a scab, scarrlfy with a pen-knife and drop the ooze into it; if a scab, rub it a little; havo a gooso-quill run through the cork of the bottle to pour the medicine through. Cannot guoss tho disease of Lolcester. Give him two tablespcoi.tuAe, ot castor o.$ and 20drops of turpentine in half a pint oV warm water. If this fails to operate, repeat next day, and until it operates. This is for an aged sheep, and less for a yearling: say two-thirds of the above. The Barnes Wiro Check Rowor. This implement, of which wo give an ac- Companying illustration has become so popular as the only perfectly successful wire- check rower, that we desire to acquaint any of our readers who may not be familiar with the machine, of tho fact. Chambers, Bering & Qulnlan, of Decatur, 111,, the manufacturers have for years kept its advantages prominently before the publio and pushed their agencies throughout tho corn-growing section of the country until the Barnes Wire Check Bower can be> found on sale at nearly every point at which oorn planters are sold. Their claim of having the largest establishment of the kind extant, is a vory just one, tho increasing heavy demand requiring a constant enlargement of manufacturing facilities and their immense and handsome factory is the result. The advantages of this checls rower is very fully aud truthfully narrateia in their advertisement in this paper. In addition we would say that the annealed ateel wire used is made of the best quality, expressly for the firm, and is superior to all others for this purpose. The wire does not cross the machine thereby avoiding side draft and saving much constant wear on the wire, which thoreforo will long outlast ono that does cross the machino. Chambers, Bering ct Qulnlan have beon in business lor many years, am. the firm is very reliable, responsible, antl popular with all who bave dealings with it. They are also well known as tbo rmnufar*** turers of the Brown Elleptical (single), and the Champion (double), Hog and l'ig Rings so favorably known throughout tho land as the only rings tbat close on the outside of the nose, thus preventing it from becoming sore. A BuBineBB Man's Opinion. Editors Indiana Farmer: Though not farming much, I take the Fakmer and like it well. If it could bo placed jn the hands of every farmer in the State, It would add greatly to tho agricultural products of tbeBtateand the moral tflect would bo of untold value. Your discussion ol tbo temperance question would soon make the farmere. and their families temperance workers*. As soon ns the farmers of the Btate realize what Sntemperunce conk them iu dollars and cents, they can and will blot out the truffle in iutoxicatiug liquors. Columbus City. J. B. <;.
