THB HEW LAW TO   PROTECT   SHEEP   IN
1HDIANA.
The bill introduced by Hon. I. N. Cotton,
Marion county, in our legislature, for the
protection of sheep husbandry, has become
a law. It is a valuable and important measure, and we give the leading features of it
below:
Sec. 1. All who own or harbor dogs shall
by the lst of May, each year report the
number to tbe township tructee who shall
register them with number and description
by sex, color and breed, and furnish for one
dollar lor male and two for female, a me-
talic tag with number on it, and owner
shall attach same to neck of eaeh dog by a
collar; lor each dog more than one the owner shall pay two dollars for such metalic
taps, and this money goes iDto a dog fund.
Sec. 2. Makes it unlawful f jr any dog to
run -1 large without such tag and collar,
and lawful for jny one to kill dogs at large
without eollars.
JSec. 3. Rf quires constables to proceed to
kill all dogs on and after tho lst of May,
which are found without tags and collars
as provided; on notice to any trustee by
any citizen that any dog is not bo registered and tagged, trustee shall give notice
to any constable to kill euch dogs; and
trustee shall not make public the name of
citizen giving bim notice in such cases.
Sec. 4. Any constable failing to kill such
<logs shall be fined $25 and for each offense,
hesball be paid lifty cents ror each dog
killed notregistered and marked by tag, to
be paid out of the dog fund.
Sec. 5. All money accruing from such dog
license, fines, etc., shall constitute a fund
for tha payment of damages sustained
by the owners of sbeep maimed or killed by
doga in each township. No one shall receive pay for sheep maimed or killed by
dogs owned by himselt. All funds now on
hand under the the O'd law shall bo added
to this fund, and all pending claims for
sheep killed, etc., shall be paid for out of
this fund. The act goes into effect the
lst of May.
—Since the above was put in type the
Senate called the bill back and, as tbe assessment of dogs under the old law had
begun, thia new act to prote ct tirrp was
so amended as tbat it should not take effect

The Stock Law.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I am somewhat at a loss to account for
this ado about a stock law. Judging from
the way some writers clamor for a Mock
law, a stranger would naturally conclude
that we have no laws on our statute books
relative to stock running at large. Unless
the law has been repealed recontly, ol
which I have seen no notice, we have
already a good stock law—a law whioh forbids the running at large of any kind of
stock without permission of the county
comml sioners, granted by petition or majority vote of the township. Ah I understand it, it is unlawful for any kind of stoek
to run at. large, in the absence of such action on the part of a township and county
commissioners. This is local option, democratic, and perhaps about as satisfactory
as any l;w can be entcted. In our
county, Dearborn, I am not aware that a
single township has voted in favor of any
kind of stock running out.
The law is generally respected and enforced, so that under tho circumstances, I
hardly see the nf c*ssity for persons to become very much excited on the subj- ct. I.
is wise sometimes to "let w«ll enough
alone." R. Collier.
Hornless Cattlo and Their Morite.
The polled breed best combining excellent beef and dairy qualities la found in the
two counties of Nor.oik and Suffolk, England. Although called after each of these
counties, the cattle are essentially the
same. In color, siz?, and fine points, they
are precisely like Devon cattle, and are
sometimes called tbe Hornless Da von.
Picked oows of the above breed give as
much milk as the Guernsey or Jursey, and
it is eften neatly as rich and makes as much
butter. Seven to ten pounds of butter p*sr
week la not an uncommon yield for them,
especially those bred in Suffolk county; and
their yield has occasionally run up from
tbe above weights to 11 aud 20 pounds por
week for a short time, when well fed and
at the best of the season. But these yields
are extraordinary, and cannot be calculated
upon as a general thing. A few Rod Norfolk polled cattle were imported into the
State of N«w York several years ago, and
have been bred here with care, and are
mueh liked by dairymen. Red polled cattlo aro also bred in the North of England
and South of Scotland. They are called the
Galloway breed, and it wasio a oow of one
Charles Colling,
able breed among ourr-elvf-e, q-iite as good
as any that could bo importpd. The great
morit of polled cattle is, tbst they are. docile ard of a peaceful disposition, and,
bcin** without horns, never iijure people,
nor other animals, nor themselves. They
are more easily and comfortably transported in c:irs or ships than tbe horned,
a id can be bred and reared at least 10 per
cent, cheaper.—A. B. Allen, in N. Y. Tribune.

of these that the late Mr.
about the yoar 1790, put his Shorthorn bnll
Bolingbroke, and from the produce of this
came in the third generation a cow called
Lady, and from ber has descended what Is
called the "alloy" in Short-horn cattle.
There are black polled cattle also in the
South or Scotland, called Galloway, They
aro excellent beef animals, but tbe cows
give only a small quantity of milk, which
ls usually ofa rich quality,
Theie are other black polled oattle bred
ln the northern districts of Scotland. These
are lirger and finer tban those of tbe south.
The proper name of these is Angus, but
they are frequently called Aberdeen, because mostly brad in that county. They
are also called after tho names of adjoining
counties, and even after the estates where
brfed. Tbls ought not to be permitted, as
it rrakes a great confusion of names.
A oalf of a red, a dim, and even
a brindle color, is occasionally dropped in
these blaok herds. They are usually
butchered and not bred from, the object
being here to breed all ot a black color.
Tne Angus cattle are nearly as large as
Short-horns and Herefords, and the quality
of their beef is rather superior to either of
these. They make famous bullocks, grow
rapidly, and mature early. The «ows, as with
tbe G.tlloway, give only a moderate mess
of pretty rich milk. There are a few white
polled c.ttle in England, which are considerably larger than the red ones, and are
said to be great milkers; but I hear little
ol them, lt is -proposed to crocs Short-horn
bulls ot milking families on tbeae cows,
keep only such calves aa are dropped hornless, and thus create a new breed, large and
fine, combining in them superior beef
and dairy qualities. We might pick up
the best of ttie polled oows which are found
scattered ln various parts of the United ■
States, breed them to Short-born bnlls
from great milking families, aa the English
axe doing, and thu* make a highly val«-1

If yoi by applying your ear to her throat

spill half a drachm of tincture of aconite
root antthe same of tincture of belladonna,
alternaUly every two hours upon the

"Woak Eyes.
Editors Iidlana Farmer:
I havea very flne young mare, but her
eyes seen weak; know no cause unless It
be that ler sire was blind. D. F. B.
You jtat guessed the cause of your mare's
eyes exaitly, and you have the penalty of
your iniiscretlon to pay, yon see, like
begets lite. I do really wish that farmers
would tuit breeding  to blind, spavined,
per day for several days; only blister one
side of the leg at a* time.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
Ihave a sow that farrowed ten pigs in
January, ahd sow and pigs done well until
about two weeks ago, when the sow began
to show some stiffness in her hips and bind
legs, and is getting worse all the time, and
wonld eat hearty np to within a few days
past. She won't eat any more corn, but
drinks slop, and now she seems to be stiff
all over. S. S.
Take arsenic acid, half an onnce; bloodroot, black antimony, flour of sulphur,
pulverized crude niter, and sulphate of
iron, of each two ounces; ground ginger,
four ounces; mix. Dose, one teaspoonful
three times daily in slop or feed.
Spavin.
Editors Indiana Farmer.
I have a horse with a bone spavin, the
sizn of a hen's egg, which causes him this
spring to go dead la:n(; the spavin is of
long standing, but seems to have taken a
new growth, it being faverish and painful.
Would there be any chance of removing
lameness by blistering or otherwise? Don't
exotct to reduce enlargement or prevent a
stiffaufdjiint. Old Sobsciubkb.
I fear it is too late in the day to cure a
spavin of so long standing. If you wish
to try, blister him severely with Spanish
fly, 1 ounce; spirits of turpentino, 1 pint.
Rub in hard with tho hand twice daily
until it pains, when quite sore in two or
threo days, then once dally for ten days,
then gtease with lard and let go. You
must not work him for a month. !
Bad Eyes.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I have a horse whose eyes matter; in the
summer a kind of hard substance like
warts start in the corners of his eyes, and
after awhile will fester and come out, but
inflammation precedes the festering. The
same substance will also, come in sores,
which are apt to come where any place gets
hurt or rubbed. Ho is bad to interfere; all
his sores are stubborn to heal.     C. A. ii.
For his eyes, take an egg and break one
end and pour out the albumen; mix in J
Tsalt*nough to mako a stiff paste; set iu and
cover with clear coah; burn to a char;
grind and blow or pnt into the eyes once
daily. His blocd is in poor condition
Take podophjllin, blccdroot, flour of sulphur, pulv. niter, black antimony, and
sulphate of iron, of each two ounces; Jamaica ginger, four onnces; mix. Djse,
ono teaspoonful three times daily in chop,
or any ground feed. To heal his sores,
take sulphate of zinc, one ouncf; water,
four ounce*; apply twice daily. "For interfering, cut down the outside of the foot
that is interfered with, and make the shoe
double thickness oa the outside; compel
your smith to do so.
Bad Feet.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
Some 18 months ago a sore came on my
horse's right fore foot, at the edge of the
hair. He got lame, and foot
swelled
   and  leg
up, with considerable fever; his
hoof is brittle, acd appears to be loose from
the solo of tho foot with a dark streak
around between tho sole of the foot and
the hoof. I have u=cd arnica In the bottom of his foot and blistered him around
the edge of hair just above the hoof, and
bis loot appears to bo about well, but the
leaders in the back «•* tho leg are contracted, and he steps on his toes. Some 10
days ago theno came a sore on his left lore
fojt, the same as on tho right. The hoof
appears brittle, with dark streak around
edge of hoof, between hoof and solo, with
fever tho same as other foot. The horse
when standiug looks all right, but when
walking appears soro in his lore foet. He
is 10years old. H. T. C.
Your horse has a guittor, and you done
very well a3 far as you went, and if the
other foot is aff-cted like the first, do likewise. Take muriatic acid and drop lt all
round where tho sole is parting from the
wall, every alternate day, but do not let it
touch the coronary above at the hair. If
his tendons are contracted nothing but
tenotomy, cutting them in two,will do any
good.
