This is one of the noted descendants of a very noted family of Jerseys, whicii have always sold at high prices. Mr. Samuel MeKean, Terre Haute, Iud., also bought two beautiful Jorsoy heifers at the same sale. Or Polled cattle a writer states that they are not wholly inofl'ensive; that ho has seen a man yery quickly lifted ovor a fence by a polled cow and these beasts will puslj and strike their heads in the manner of other cattle, quite as savagely. The proportion of cross or savage cattle will be found quite as great among the polls as among the horned. Some large and important sales ofShrop- shiredown sheep have recently boen held in England. The sales wero largely attended and highly successful. Some of the most famous rams brought astonishing prices, one of them going at 410 guineas (§2050). Prices ranged all the way down to a few dollars per head. The Shropshires havo won for themselves an established place. Feeding Hoga. Editors Indiana Farmer: In FAitMEK of 20th is an extract from an Eastern paper stating that a hoosier farmer had a gain of 4,000 lbs. on 50 hogs in 30 days from 268 bushels of corn or two pounds ten ounces per day per head. The Farmer seems to think that story a "little fishy." About 1862 or '04, we fed a lot of hogs corn only, one of which grew in sixty days from 310 to 550 lbs, a gain of 210 lbs., or four pounds per day. A part of the time, (three daysj thoy were fed in the mud, consequently gained nothing. Two years ago, we fed about 100 head of hogs with a gain of 13 pounds por bushel average, until a few days at the last ou a few hogs; bad weather set in and they fell short. A part of the time we made a gain of more than 15 pounds per bushel. Have known hogs to gain threo pounds por day per head for a long timo, or until bad weather, and uot less than thirty or forty in a lot. Dry whole corn in all cases, and Poland China hogsiu all cases. The abovo results aro what led to our engaging iu professional pig breeding, and to our oiler of a Poland China pig to the Fakmek as a premium. 1'. T, Cedarville, Ohio. Weight of Figs. Thinking it might interest some readers, I will give tho weight of two pigs, killed at ten and a half mo.« ths old. Thoy weighed beforo killing 825 pounds,and aftor hanging over night, thejr carcasses weighed 720 pounds. They were raised and fattened on hotel slops. This not only seems good weight for pigs of that age but remarkable for tho small amount lost in dressing. They were pure Berkshire?. I will givo weight of a pig the day it waa four months old, 160 pounds. Although I fancy Berkshire swine aud believe tlieui equal to any other breed, 1 do not want to say superior, because this is the only breed I ever had much experienco in breeding and feeding. I believe it is often th> case that men try inferior hogs of tho different breeds and discard them forever, laying it to the particular breed they happen to be keeping. I myself believe there is but very little difference between ths leading breeds of swine. Everything considered, good breeding is tha main thing, and good feeding helps powerfully. I make the above report in weights, age, etc. of pigs, hoping that others will do Clydesdale Ilorse "Chance," Imported by Powell Bros., Spirngboro, Pa. likewise I boliovo it will bo beneficial to all in being particular about giving the mauner of feeding. It is claimed by many that Berkshires dress away loss than any otlier hog. Is this truo? Let our Poland China hog and Chester White breeders speak out. Will soon give weights of some spring pigs being fattoued to kill if others will report. D. White. How to Judge a Horse. Tho weak points of a horso can be bettor discovered while he isstandingthan whilo moving. If he is sound, he will stand firmly and squarely on his limbs, without moving any of them, the feet planted flatly upon the ground, with legs plumb and naturally poised. If one foot is thrown forward with the toe pointing to the ground and tho heel raised, or if the foot is lifted from the ground and the weight taken from it, Uisease'may be suspected, or at least tenderness, which is a precursor of disease. If the horse stands with his feet spread apart, or straddles with the hind legs, thero is weakness of the loins, aud the kidneys are disordered. Heavy pulling bends the knees. Bluish or milky-cast oyes in horses, indicate moon blindness, or something else. A bad tempered horse keeps his ears thrown back. A kicking horse is apt to have scarred legs. A stumbling horse has blemished knoes. Wrhen the skin is rough and harsh, anddoesnot move easily and smoothly to the touch, the horse is a heavy eater and his digestion is bad. Never buy a horse whose respiratory organs are at all impaired. Placo your ear at the side of tho heart, and if a wheezing sound is heard, it is an indication of trouble—let him go. A Cattle-Feeding Experiment. In the spring of 1880 eight young steers were purchased for tho experimental farm of the Illinois Industrial University. Two were full-blooded Ayrshire, two soven- eighths Devon, two one-half nerefords, the dams being "oommon" cows—one a full-blood and ono abont three quarters Short-horn. They were jn ordinary condition, tho younger Hereford and the grade Short-horn being in best flesh. Tliey were counted fair specimens of the different breeds, except the older Hereford, which was small for age, and not of especially good form. COMPARING BREEDS. It was purposed to compare tho different breods under ordinary treatment, rather than to seoure largest development. May 1, 1880, one of eaoh breed—numbers 1, 2, 4 andO of table—was placed iu pasture with other cattle, until Oct. 1, whon they were turned into a corn-stalk field. The other four wero kept in a small pasture, which proved quite poor during a part of the summer, having also oorn eaoh day. They were plaoed with the othersinOct.,andall wore wintered iu an open yard, with un- threehod oats, muoh injured from lodging and rains, throshed timothy-straw, cornstalks and a very'little corn at the last. From May 1, they wore all on pasture— timothy, blue-grass and clover—with full feed of shelled corn, averaging about two hundred pounds per day for the eight head, until September 1; after this tbey were fod new oorn in tho ear, about one- half bushel each per day. From July until cool weather they wore on pasture only at night, having shelter during the day in a rather dark shed. There was severe drouth both summers, especially in 1881, th*s pastures becoming vory short. Tho wintor wai a trying one on stock exposed to tho ttorms and mud. In August one Ayrshire stoer met with an accident and had to be killed. Novem ber 4,the remaining seven woro shipped to the Chicago fat-stock show, where they were slaughtered, November 12. Tho accompanying table gives the ages, weights at different times, and the results of tho slaughter test. The home weights aro "full weights"; those at slaughter are after being without food or water about eighteen hours. A committee of butchers examined the carcass and their judgment is given iu column "Quality of Carcass." ».->». a*, i. \ i 3 h.3- ET5i ^3£'^^^»1 T-l O <l> * 1 jy t <*D O •> ~ 3.3.: -~;.*-_is:-~»^i 5.-J-J; r?,?s\ g§|gga|^| Weight May 1,1880. g:-sy?,33ga 1 Weight November 1,1S80. gSgiiggg (Weight May 1,1881. •g?i^§S§5; ' Weight November 4,1881. ^il'.a^y* 1 We's)'t at slaughter. g|ggg3||i , Weight of dreesed carcass. ej ;» ;» 3i i* 5 a i si»§if*"?2*a: |1>er ccnt. of carcass to live weight. §*8lB_I;(lForc<>uart*ra- gtggSgJfi j Hindquarters. -_i.i. 38*35 it a 3 Si jHide.

It is noticeable that no one of the steers fed grain the first summer made as much gain as his mate on better pasture, without gr.iin. It Is evident that "rough wintering" .was not profitable with those cattle. No one made a good gain and two lost slightly. The steers wore weighed, as a rule, each 60 days during the wholo time, and the record shows that no one of them progressed uuiformly, Tlielargeshrinkage of slaughter is accounted for by the fact that the home weight was after eating and drinking; the slaughter weight after fasting. While no oue of tlio steers .was excessively fat, the percentage of carcass to live weight is satisfactory. The Short-horns stand first iu this respect, ono Hereford next. The committee complimented all the carcasses as being more profitable for consumption than those of the excessively fat animals slaughtered with thom. The highest percentage of carcass among the latter was 07.56. The showing made by the Ayrshire steer is very creditable for an animal belonging to a distinctively milk breed. It happens that the order of merits of the carcasses is placed in the same order as the proportion of-'improved bIood"in the different animals. Singularly enough, the carcass pronounced best had, relatively, the slightest hind quarters. This steer- was the favorite of almost all who saw the cattle when alive. Tho steer with largest percentage of tallow was placod last iu merit of carcass; the noxt to him in tallow wore placed first nnd second in morit of carcass. The grade Herofords fords had heaviest hides in proponion to live weight. It is oxpoeted to continue like experiments. Tho results of one must not be considered conclusive. O. E. Morrow. mcterwavxj.

I wr-uld not use so great a quantity in ». Kinnll lump. . B. B. J. Megrims. J. N.—You wrire en both sides of paper, and we can't use your letter for publication on that acciunt. Your horse has megrims, an incurable disease. It is an embolism of the arteries of the brain. Warts. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a colt with a wart on inner corner of the eye. It is smooth and remains about the same size. It seems to be free from the ball. Sub. You must cast him, and with a pair of sharp scissors clip it off and touch with lunar caustic once daily, if it is placed where you can do so and not injure the eye. If you cannot avoid injuring the e ye, use burned alum once or twice daily. Bone Spavin. Editors Indiana Farmer: My colt, when it stands still for a short time,walks as if it was stringhalted in one hind leg. If 1 keen it iu the stable it gets »orrie. When it gives tw»-or three steps it is all right again. J. M. S. Your colt has bono spavin, if not string- halt, which is incurable. If spavin, blister severely. See blister mentioned frequently in the Farmer. To determine spavin, see if the inner part of tbe hock- joint is larger than the other, treat for spavin. Try Blistering. Editors Indiana Farmer: My yearling colt has a lump on the in- J>er side of his hind leg about three inches below the hock-joint. It is hard; hurt it I think jumping a fence; is not lame; was sore for a few days after it got hurt, but is all right now, only the lump remains. What will remove thelump? A Reader. Prevention in your case would have been easier than remedy now, while sore, you could have effectually cured it. Now it is doubtful, unless with the knife. Try blistering. Leprosy. Reader.—You neglect the rule and write on both sides of your paper, and we can't use your letter. Cannot name the disease; it looks like leprosy. I would drench him, night and morning with sulphur,cream of tartar,pow- dered sassafras, and powdered mayapple root of each three drachms. Rub the diseased parts with pyroligneous acid, four ounces; flour of sulphur four; calomel 60 grains; red precipitate, CO grains; spirits of turpentine, two ounces; lard, six ouneeB. Rub morning and evening. Sore Feet. Editors Indiana Fanner: I have a cow that seems to be troubled with sore feet. At least she is lame and flinches when she steps ou anything hard and rough; walks with somo difficulty in her front feet, holding her front legs rather stiff'; seems to have no fever, and appetite good. D. O. E. I'aris, 111. It is impossible to determiueananimal's ailment by saying that it is lame. You must diagnose the case correctly, then we can advise what to do. Observe between her hoof a little below the bifurcation and see if the biflox canal is swollen. If so, rub inspirits of turpentine once or twice daily, with the finger. Removing Limps. Editors Indiana Farmer: For the benefit of A. T. F., asking through the Farmer of Nov.lt), for a remedy to remove a hard lump from the shoulder of his horse, made by the collar, I will give my treatment iu such a caqp. Last summer, I bought a mule that had a very hard 1 limp on her right shoulder, as large as a half gallon tin cup, which had disabled her from work for a long time. With a view of getting upsuppura- tion, 1 injected two hypodermic syringe fulls of liquid carbolic acid full strength into the lump. On the second morning following, I^notioed the lump was much reduced in size, and repeated the operation. Eight days after the injection I thought her able for light work, and put her to a oue .horse plow, by cutting a piece out of collar to prevent pressure on tlie lump, and have continued working her ever since at anything I wished to do with her. Tlie lump has entirely disa{,- Wrltten for the Indiana Farmer. Letter From Washington. Ten years ago, the streets of Washington were almost totally destitute of trees, today they present the appearance of con-. tinuous parks with rows of handsome • trees in gorgeous colors, as tlie leaves take on the autumn tints. Through the efforts of Alex. R. Shepherd and his co-lub >rers, moro than thrcerfourtUs ot our streets are lined with three and four- year old elniB, poplars, maples, ash, horse- chestnut, lindens, etc., in all, over twenty varieties of hardy and in most cases rapid growing trees, and though yet in their uv fancy these trees afforded grateful shade to many pedestrians during the recent hot summer and are now of great benefit in breaking the force of the November winds. Tliere is no doubt that Washington in a few years will be the BEST SHADED CITY in the country. "We have planted on our broad streets and avenues upwards of fifty thousand deciduous trees, and the park commission is constantly setting out new trees and replacing old ones. This is truly a garden city. TnE NATIONAL ORANGE, which has been in session here for several days.wasaddressedby Commissioner of Agriculture Loring, a few days since at considerable length. In the course of his remarks,he expressed himself as desirous of widening tho scope of his department -f*s as lo include those interests which are intimately and to a great extent inseparably allied to agriculture, and he advocated the formation of separate bureaus of the government, controlling and com-- piling mining, manufacturing, transportation and labor statistics. He thought a bureau of manufactures ought to be established, where .producors could come to find at any time such information as. would be for their best interests, in the production of cotton,wool, etc. In relar.. tion to the mining interests, he had seen at Atlanta enough to convince him that there should be a bureau of this kind connected with the government. As to railroads, he thought as far as they affected Uie interests of agriculture th»t something might be done by which the whole country might be benefited in the way of an equalization of fares and transportation. He thought it would be a benefit to have a tabulated rate of freights and fares kept, showing the working of the railroad systems in different states in connection, with agricultural interests. The Grange passed a resolution that the DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE should be elevated to a higher plane than heretofore and that its head should be a, cabinet officer, and that it could best promote the great interests of agriculture by being kept aloof from all other interests. None of the places they visited in Washington seem to have given our French national guests more pleasure than the agricultural department. Commissioner Loring sent several of the ladies and gentlemen packages of seeds and cuttings of native American trees and plants, and the acorns sent are to be planted on the ancestral estates of some of the French guests. Dr. Loring will send an expert to Virginia to investigate the pleuro-pneumonia,. which has been prevailing among the cattle of certain sections of the State. THE GAME SEASON in the Washington iwarkets,espeei»lly for ducks, is now fairly open and great activity both Rinong the gunners and dealers. in wild game is apparent. Large numbers of ducks are being brought up the river on steamboats daily, snd those not consumed hero are shipped by the dealers to other markets North and AVest. Most of the ducks, quail, woodcock and plover come from the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay, the venison from tlie mountains of Virginia and the grouse and pheasants from the AVestern States. Vegetables are high and scarce here as elsewhere and meats are steadily rising in price. m Fred L. Olmstead, landscape engineer of the Capitol grounds,hae been appointed a consulting landscape architect to the department of public parks, Now York city,at a salary of $2,500 per annum. This is in addition to the .$5,000 per annum he gets from the United States. F. ii. It is asse.-ted that the National Marriage and Lower Association of U.iion City, which failed two v. ?eks ago, will not l* able to pay one cent to the c\rtiticate holders. Their books show $10,000 as the re- ceij-te ar-.d $27,000 as the amount I ".id to certificate holders; ihe remaining fl.",,ooo ha:i been absorbed in silarie.- and other expenses. as
