Hart- well, of Lincoln, Mass., which must have been a sight to behold. Tnere were six of them, all of a litter, and 17 months old when dreesed. Their weights were as follows: 477, 545, 576J, 607, 621, and 625 lbs; total, 3451} lbs. Their feed is reported to have been wheat bran until they were 13 months old.— Mass. Ploughman. PEF.B- ROTARY DIIDI- CORK PUNTEK, nniiatnclured by Deere A Co., Bfollne, 111, The london Mark Lane Express' crop returns for the year 1877 show that, except hay, all crops have been much below the average. The wheat crop has been most deficient of all, only six t,f 409 returns representing it as •ver tue averse, and not .et-s than 360 describing it as below; according to tables, it was even a worse crop than that of 1875,which was the most defi cient crop previously had dur ing 15 years. . Jersey Eed Hogs. To the Editors Indiana Farmer-: Bloominqdale, Parke Oo. There seems to be a desire on the part of the farmers of our state to know more about the Jersey Bed hogs. I have had no experience with this breed of hogs myself, but my neighbor, Mr. B. 0. Mo- Williams, has a few of them on his farm. He has one that weighed 300 pounds, at eight months old; it had only been fed all it would eat for six weeks before weighing, and this pig was the last choice out of a litter of seven—wbat some would term the "runt'' of the litter. Can any and money, is the question which interests us, but th? woman who rises with well regulated plans and retires with them, perfected, is hard to find. ■ If meu derive benefit from association, why not the women? The experience of one may tave the club a great amount of trouble, or be of vast benefit, if they will but receive the instruction and profit withal. ' We need improvement; we need reform, but how shall it be obtained?

The Jebsey Beds—We continue to receive communications regarding this breed, but as we think they have been sufficiently advertised for the present, we must decline to publish further articles on the subject, unless something new is presented. Grabs in Sheep. Amos H. Eskew, Carmel.Hamilton Co., writes in regard to these pests: "They are small worms that grow in the sheep's nose, as large as half an inch in diameter; we have seen some one and a half inches long. They have brown, or black heads, and resemble large wood worms. I have taken them out of the brains of sheep that have died from their ravages. They can be kept away from Bheep by pouring strong tea, made from tobacco leaves and stems, into the nostrils of the sheep, which must be placed on the back for the purpose, and held there a few minutes. Care must be taken not to struggle the sheep. , —-•--. Stock Sales. Geo. W. Hobson. ■ m ■ Training a Colt—A Boy's Experience. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: My experience with a colt is that it is best to handle him just as soon as he will bear it. As soon as you can put on harness, drive him around, and then hitch to a light wagon and drive till he becomes acquainted. Never strike with the whip or jerk the bits. When working a colt go up to him and pat him on the head and speak gently to him. I have a colt that is a little over a year and a half old, and I manage him like an old horse. I worked with him just as I have mentioned. I bought another one of one of the worst breed * of horses that ever existed, tbe Cob- ham stock, and I am taming it like the one I have just spoken of, and he ia getting along well. When he was a little over one year and a half old, I drove him to a sleigh about five miles. He drives now like an old horse. "Keno." Bichmond, Ind. Economy—Lenawee Farmers' Discussion.

L., that pure blood Poland Chinas are invariably black and white spotted; occasionally one has sandy spots The so called black Poland Chinas have ali been crossed with some of the black breeds- for example there is one herd of Poland Chinas in Hancock county, that a few years ago was crossed witb a black hog called the English Thin Bind. This black hog was on exhibition at our State fair one or two years. Almost every herd of Poland Chinas in Butler county, Ohio, has been, crossed in the last few years with the improved Berkshires. This is the way to produce blact Poland Chinas. The Berkshire of the present day is entirely different from that used in the foundation crosses of the Poland Chinas. The old Berkshire did not give them the jet black color and characteristic markings, as the Berk ofthe present day doe-). Poland China Bbeedeb. Adbian, Mich., Jan. 12. The Lenawee County Farmers' Club met at the Club room, in the city of Adrian, and after talking a short time on the Freight-house irregularities, in which the farmers of the county have been defrauded to the extent of at least 15,000 bushels of grain, by short weights, the regular question of Economy in doors and out, was taken up. Mr. B. I. Steer claimed that true economy did not consist alone in making money, but in making a home comfortable and pleasant. Would have the men and boys wear slippers when they sit down for the evening, both for comfort and saving the carpets and furniture. A handy well and cistern, and a handy wood house, well filled with seasoned wood, are indispensible to true economy. Would have hired help conform to the customs of the family. Mrs. N. J. Strong read a most entertaining essay on the the subject under discussion, which ought not to be con densed. She said women generally were too busy; the family must be clothed and fed, but is there no way in which women can economize their work so as to find more time for mental improvement? Fashion has robbed women of all the advantages gained by sewing machines; six-penny calico must receive a j much labor as silk did ia ante-sewing machine days; in fact, everything that is made for the woman or chdd, receives as much time as they did when made by hani. Is there no remedy ? Is there no way of economizing our cooking, so as to make it simpler, and just as wholesome and just as good? Ho* to supply the nece-- sary amount of food and clothing for tbe [family with the least expenditure of time are but > aircastles, for generally those who most desire to come are those who can not, and often when the women would go the horses are busy. Let everyone commence at home and reform themselves, that they may see clearly how td reform others. Another member said, one person eaves twice as much from a farm as an- ould do; and it is the same with 'orking on a salary. So we see it :onomizing after all, where the sees. He thought generally that taught the boys to make as much ^ ible, instead of teaching them to keep it. It takes as wise a man to keep a dollir as it does to make it. Previous to thef war, men worked for $1.00 per day and saved money, but they don't now, because during the war everybody got extiavagant, and now when hard times come,tbey can't economize. M. Giave spoke at length on economy in marketing, claiming it poor economy not to'aell au article when ready for market. Tne longer grain is held the worse is the waste. Compute interest on the valuation of the various products held for higher prices, and it would be astonishing. > When an ■ article is ready he would'sell and stop interest, or commence it. Thelsubject was continued until next meeting. LETTER FB0M NEWTON COUNTT. Permit me to congratulate you on the passage of the "Silver Bill." The dark financial clouds that threatened us so fearfully and were so portentous of evil, are beginning to disperse. Already the people begin to feel as if a great buiden was removed from their shoulders. The firmness and fidelity of thsir Bepresent- atives in Congress, have inspired them with hope, and now, instead- of censure they are disposed to award our public servants the meed of praise. For once they have refused to bow at the shrine of mammon. Let them not weary in well doing; let the next hard pull be for the destructon ofthe National Banks and the substitution of Greenbacks. When this is accomplished we shall be freed t»*o«m.<_« grasp of the -Shylacks," Iaboir. will recefrw ite _„„ _,,,_,-!, _nQ instead of poverty and despair, the people will rejoice in prosperity and happiness. . Hoping that all this may be fully and .speedily realized, I remain yours, J. McCarthy. Letter from Knox County. ,16. j Financial Distress—Brighter Prospects I Ahead. Beaveb City, Feb. 20.. To the Editors Indiana Farmer : Yoa undoubtedly expected to hear from me before this time. Do not infer from my silence that I am indifferent to tbe iatereits of the F.a_mer. I have not been remiss in my -efforts to obtain subscribers, but so far I have labored without success. The financial stringency which prevails so generally, is peculiarly distressing in this locality. Daring the entire winter, with the exception of a few days, the roads have been in such a .horrid condition that it has been actually impossible for farmers to get their grain to market. Owing to the failure of the crop laat year, most of our farmers are in debt, and so pressing are the demands upon them that they are compelled to deny themselves many of the ordinary comforts and necessaries of life. Under these trying circumstances they do not feel able to regale themselves with the luxury of a newspaper. Many of our best and most intelligent farmers declare their inability to renew their subscriptions for any paper, and. I am too well acquainted witu the condition of things to doubt their veracity in this particular. Quite a number have expressed a desire for the paper, and the Farm Begister which jou offer in connection with it, and hive signified their intention to subscribe aa 4oon as they are in a condition to do so. I hope to be able to do some- thiag as soon as the roads become passable. Bic_nell, Feb, To the Editors Indiana Farmer : If your columns are not too much crowded I should like to give you a few items from Knox county. First, let me, in behalf of my subscribers, thank you for our account books; with them, we hope to be able to come nearer making ends meet this year than last; not because we expect to make more money, but that we are very apt to spend less. The hard times are a great drawback to obtaining subscribers. Scores of farmers within the range ofmy acquaintance would gladly welcome what is acknowledged to be the best farmers' paper in Indiana, if they had the money to spare. Now, this may seem strange to our more fortunate brothers of the Fabmer, but more than once has this complaint met me; and I know a great many who own good farms, and after paying their running expenses, taxes, etc., had not money enough to take a family paper, and with the present rate of interest, and the unsettled condition of monetary affairs, not many will borrow unless compelled. The farmers in these parts are badly in debt, and while we do not claim to be "finan- seers," we do think that if the present congress does not do something to lighten the burdens, now being carried by hundreds of farmers, whose mortgage debts will become due in two or three years, nothing short of "Nasby's leather currency" will save them. Through the efforts of Mr. S. E. Hollingsworth, the Poland China has been introduced in this part of the county, and already the benefits are noticeable in many directions. Mr. H. has made swine breeding a specialty for many years, and as his herd was personally selected from the best bloods of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, we may safely conclude it is among the best in the state. Keep the road question red hot. The people evidently want a change in the road law. The roads here have been so bad this winter that nothing could safely venture out upon them but a goose. Knox. ■ • ■ To the Editors Indiana Farmer: Oub Farm Beqisteb and Account Book—I must speak one word in favor of the Begister and Account book. Itis just the thing and the price is infiniteisimally small. The book will fill a want long felt. Please accept the thanks of Samuel Jones. Pittsburg, Feb., 21. i m a The Quakers in England and Wales now number, according to Mr. Barclay, one of their well-known members, only 17,000. A few years ago they were estimated at 100,000. Onr Washington Letter. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1878. The old adage that "money is the root of all evil," is true now as in centuries past, as is also its counterpart, that the lack of it brings want and desolation, and this land of ours is in the depths of financial strait and embarrassment.. In vain have the people begged imploringly for relief from thechief executive and congress, but the old story ot "fiddling while Bome is burning," is being repeated at the nation's capital. This whole financial question might have been settled in two weeks, and every business man with som e degree of confidence, could have been prepared with theopening spring time for the work ofthe incoming year. But congressmen must be elected—and buncombe speeches must be read to empty seats, that they may be printed and transported at the expense of United Sam, to honest and suffering constituencies. The passage of the silver bill in the Senate by so large a vote is a sure indication that the measure will become a law, irrespective of the President's action. The fall in quotations in gold and the rise in price of stocks in New York on the news of its passage in the Senate, seems a hopeful omen. It is certain that this fearful chasm between hard money men and inflationists must be spanned by some compromise, and the financial quacks must yield something for the sake of the patient. If the people would rise up in their majesty and let themselves be heard, the patient would recover in spite of these legislative and financial doctors. The withdrawal of the postal currency and substituting a subsidiary and debased coin was a fearful blunder and imposed a great bur- den vpon mhe.-irhQlo pe4tplet which_ will _—*-*_« government •$100,000,000, interest and principal. Fractional currency was a great convenience to the people, convertible into greenbacks and receivable in payment of business paper, while silver must be fold at a ruinous discount to be used in like manner. A publisher of a magazine in this city with $250 of postage stamps received for subscriptions, was seen rushing frantically to the Treasury to sell his wares, but John Sherman was not buying. Tearing up street he visited the post office department, but the placid Key had just received a supply ftom the government. In despair be returns to his office and asfai himself the question why fractional currency was abolished. The Agricultural Department has over 300,000 tea plants that are looking thrifty, and General Le Due intends that we Bhall grow our tea and keep the money in our own country. The grasshopper commission want an appropriation ot $25,000 for next year to continue their researches—into the habits of this rampageous insect. They say that with annually increasing appropriations they may be able to catch a grasshopper and find out what he really is by the year 1900. They are ready to serve the dear people for a consideration. Srro. The Wool Growers. Programme of Indiana Wool Growers Convention to be held at Columbus, Ind., March 26, at 10 o'clock a. m.
