ling heifers. The bull now at the head of
the herd is One Ton, 2,000 ofthe American
Jersey Cattle Club Register, a fawn with
black points, bred by the "Ogden Farm
Association," and bought upon an unlimited order from Col. Waring. The proprietors ot "Beech Grove Farm" are in no
sense traders in cattle, and the fine herd
owned by them is, to a large extent, descended from several cows of proved excellence as butter makers, and most of their
herd is of their own breeding, and in many
cases they have the dam's records at the
pail for several generations. Seekers after
the strictly fancy points will not find at
"Beech Grove" that deference paid to
black tongues and black switches which is
observed in many herds, the owners be
lieving that as the value ofa Jersey cow
consists in her excellence as a butter maker,
that quality should not be made subservi
ent to what is simply a matter of taste.
Things are conducted very systematic
ally at "Beech Grove," and the record of
every milking of each cow can be shown for
several years. It was a sight calculated to
excite the admiration of a lover of fine
stock to see, at milking time twenty-eight
milking Jerseys, of fashionable lineage and
attractive form, taking their places quietly
in the stable. Jersey cows are rarely deep
milkers, and hence, as compared with an
Ayrshire or Holstein herd, the showing is
moderate. At the time we visited the
place, Bounty, one of the foundation cows
of the herd, was giving about 29 pounds a
day; Eve, ten years old, giving about 25
pounds; Annie Wells giving occasionally
as high as 36 pounds, although thirty lbs,
would be considered a gcod average. Heifers with first calves are yielding 26 to 29
ponnds, varying with the condition of the
pasture and the weather. The milk, by
the deep can system of setting in use at
"Beech Grove, yield on an average 25
per cent, cream, producing a quality of
butter readily saleable to private families
California vs. Australian
Wool.
Formerly the greater part of
the wool used in the knitting
factories at Cohoes came from
Australia. A few yeara ago
samples of California were tried
and found to be of superior
quality, though so dirty that
half the freight charges were
paid for dirt. To remedy this
defect large wool scouring establishments were opened in
California, and ever since then
they have been sending ck»n
wool, savins; not only half the
cost of freight, but placing the
O hoes manufacturer in poc-
session of a better article than
Australia could furnish. As a
natural consequence the Australian wool ia now- entirely
discarded. Sheep raiding is wonderfully increasing in Oregon,
and the prospect is good that
in a few years the Pacific coast
will have a monopoly of the wool trade.

KANKAKEE FISHING.
Just now, and for three months hence,
many lovers of the angler's art will be
asking the question, "where shall I go
a fishing ?'' Our answer is, try the Kan--
kakee bridge, on the L. N. A. & G. rail-1
road. Here the daring pickerel, the
voracious salmon and the active rock
bass can be taken in numbers such as will
satisfy the most ambitious. Fishing on

Beech Orove Farm.
We recently had the pleasure of a visit
to the well-known "Beech Grove Farm"
of Messrs. Churchman & Jackson, about
six miles southeast of Indianapolis, on the
Bethel Gravel Road, a spot known by reputation to most Jersey breeders, of the
West at least, as the home of a neat herd
of high-bred Jerseys. This property,
which consists of two hundred acres of
rolling land, has undergone great changes
within the last three years, having been
transformed from a a piece of land covered
with stumps into a well-ordered, well-
fenced farm, with houses and barns of a
class not often surpassed on property devoted entirely to agricultural purposes. The
farm, which is managed by Mr. Jackson,
is approached by passing through "Hillside," the handsome residence property of
Mr. Churchman, who enjoys here the time
spent outside of his banking house in Indianapolis.
,    The principal feature of the farm stock
is the Jersey herd, now numbering, all told,
Isome seventy head, of which about twenty-
|eight are milch cows, and fourteen year-
Fattening Rattle for Beef.
Mr. Mac'donald, an Englishman, who
made a tour last year through the United
States and who has since published in
book form information gained in relation
to cattle raising for beef, criticises the
system of feeding practised by Western
farmers. He says: "The cattle are begun
well and finished well; but in the interval
of rearly two years' duration between
their weaning and the atumn of their
third year they are neglected, or at least
left to shift for themselves. Each of the
two winters in this interval wear away a
considerable portion of the fat laid on
during the previous summer, leaving on
the frame of the animal a quantity of
strong, dry, shrivelled up, ill-mixed flesh,
which remains there and greatly reduces
the value of the carcass. A few of the
American farmers, with whom I discussed the subject, argued that to endeavor
to lay flesh and fat upon an animal before it has reached its maximum growth,
or nearly so. is perfectly useless—in fact,
a decided mistake; for they hold that the
feeding stints the growth of the animal
and impairs its oonstution. Ideas like
these are also occasionally expressed
among British farmers, but that they are
ill-founded there is not the slightest
doubt. Unquestionably, excessive feeding in youth both endangers the constitution and hinders the growth of an
animal, but moderate and steady feeding
does neither. On the contrary, it accelerates the growth of an animal and increases the quantity and improves the
.quality of its beef. All animals cannot
stand the same amount of pressing with
food; their constitutions must be watched,
and the food applied accordingly.
The Cabbage Worm—Can any one tell
me how to destroy the cabbage worms
that eat the leaves? N.J. B.
We have had some success in using
strong brine, but- the remedy is almost as
bad as the disease, as the leaves shrivel
up with the salt and scarcely grow at all
The surest way, and probably the beet
bay to get rid of the pests, is to look for
them frequently and carefully, and pick
them off and destroy them. They are
not very numerous. You will seldom
find more than four or five on a head. If
you will place bits of board around in the
cabbage patch, the worms will get under
them to spin their cocoons and can thus
be captured, and the late crop of butterflies be prevented. The butterfly Pontia
Oleracea; which produce the cabbage
worm,is a medium sized white insect that
may be seen almost any day hovering over
the cabbage plants. They may easily be
taken with nets of muslin, on laths, or
other strips for handles. The cabbage
worm is becoming a serious pest in market
gardens about this city, and will soon
spread to the farms and then all over the
country, so that we will soon have to
fight for our cabbage aa persistently as
we now do for the potato crop.

can wield such power. He darts this
way, that way, the other way 1 A thrill
of fear shoots over you lest he will break
the line, rod, or hook. Don't be in a
hurry. Let him play. See the rod bend
to the surface! Hear the hiss of your line
through the water! How gamely he
struggles for his freedom. Now, gradually,
draw him near the shore. If the bank is
precipitous, the safer way is to draw him
near the edge, and secure him with a
scoop net or gaff hook, as his weight and
struggles may tear the hook loose! Now
you have him landed, look at his beautiful golden spots and rounded form, and
you'll say this is fishing worth something.
But fishing is not all the enjoyment;
water, as beautiful as ever coursed in a
stream, flows in the Kankakee; clear,
deep and lustrous, with a mat of dark
foliage over either shore. There are
stretches as delightful as ever oarsman
dreamed of, for boating. This place has
already become a popular fishing point,
there being six club houses erected near
the bridge. Crawfordsville, this city and
Columbus, Ohio, having one each, and
Lafayette having three. It will certainly
grow in favor as it is better known. The
Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad company are liberal, granting round
trip tickets at about one fare, and carrying anything from a minnow bucket to a
boat, in the way of baggage, without
charge. G.

Letter from Georgia.
Americus Co., June 28.
_b the Editors Indiana Farmer:
By your permission I will give your
readers a short letter from Southwest Georgia, the more especially as there is now
springing up considerable inquiry regarding our State amongst the farming classes
of the north and west. It is occuring to
them that in the eager hunt for Florida
and Texas a better section has been passed
over unnoticed.
If it were my purpose to seek a home in
the south, whether a farmer or manufacturer, I would come to Georgia, and to
southwest Georgia. This immediate section furnished the main support of the
armies during the late war, and was denominated the "Egypt" of the Confederacy. The farmer can live easily and
abundantly, the railroad facilities are ample and convenient, there is a good home
market for everything he desires to sell.
Besides the usual crops of cotton, corn,
oats, wheat, potatoes, peas, sugar cane,
rice, etc., our planters are going largely
into the cultivation of fruits. This enterprise is in its beginning. The peach, grape,
sand pear, strawberry, three or four varieties of the apple will soon transform us
into a fruit growing people.
A failure of these crops is of rare .occurrence, and the  displays at the various
county and State fruit exhibitions have
proven this to be, I might say, the
surest and best fruit section of all the
States. And the fact that the fruit can
be gotten to market so early, has enabled
the growers to obtain fabulous pricei".
The health of this immediate section is
excellent.   Such  an announcement  will
startle some, but the testimony of all that
live here, together with the health  statis
tics of the State, confirm its truth.   Then
there are more old people here whose lives
have been uniformly healthful than can
be found in the mountains of Georgia and
Tennessee.   Such is the evenness and dryness of our climate that the few northern
consumptives who have been here have
always   improved.   Our phjBicians   fay
that this ia   a  much better climate for
them than Florida.   Localities are found
on the creeks and marshes where chills
may be expected.   Lands are worth from
two to ten dollars per acre, according to
location,   size,   and improvements.   The
cheapness of the land doe3 not necessarily
indicate that the country is worthless and
prostrate.   As a class our farmers do well,
are   contented,   have   their schools   and
churches, their county and neighborhood
fairs,' and seldom express a desire to ?o
West or elsewhere.   But our negro labor
is becoming scarcer each year, as it seeks
the richer malarial lands of the Mississippi
valley, and the farmer, sometimes from necessity, sometimes from choice, curtails his
farming operations and relies upon his individual efforts.   In this way much land
is thrown on market and can be bought
for one-fourth ita value.   These lands pass
into the hands of those willing to hold
them, and who have faith in the bright
future that awaits them.
Individuals or colonies can obtain the
land in bodies of any size from five to five
thousand acres. For one, (and I but speak
the universal sentiment of the people,) I
am anxious to witness the coming of good
men from the north and west who will
take hold with us, occupy the vacant lands,
utilize our forests and streams, and make
this what nature has designed, one of the
garden spots of the world.

GENERAL   NEWS.
Wheat and Corn Crops.
The July report of the agricultural department contains the following regarding
wheat and corn:
Wheat.—In the southern Atlantic States
the season has been unfavorable and low
returns are made. Virginia, 94; North
Carolina, 78; South Carolina, 68; Georgia
75. In the Ohio valley the crop is almost
unexampled in luxuriance. The averages
of condition are: Ohio, 112; Michigan,
105; Indiana, 115, and Illinois 107. The
general average of condition of winter
wheat for its entire breadth is 101. It assures a larger aggregate than last year and
generally of a superior quality. The extraordinary promise of last month is continued in the spring wheat region of tie
northwest and including California and
spring wheat of the east. The unprecedented average of 106 is made for the entire area of tne spring sown wheat.
Corn.—There is reported a decrease in
the average of corn in the central portion
of the great corn growing district of the
west and an increase in the south and
about the same area in the middle states
as in 1877, a slight reduction being apparent in New York, and a slight increase in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The heaviest decline is in Illinois, amounting to
about two thirds of a million acres, or a
reduction of 7 per cent. In some adjoining states the reduction is but from one
to two per cent. The increase in Texas,
as indicated by the counties reported, is 10
per cent., or 200,000 acres. Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi make a large advance, the former state about 100,000acres.
The average condition ofthe whole crop is
95. The number of counties reporting the
condition of the corn is 1052, of which 287
return 100; 252 above, and 513 below that
standard. Very few in the west give a
figure above 100.

Whitman's Patent Americus Cider and
Wine Mill.
Every farmer who has an orchard and
vines, or either, is in need of a mill, so aa
to utilize his fruit to the best advantage.
We do not claim to be competent judges
of every instrument in use; yet, when an
old manufacturing company like the
Whitman stop making all kinds of mills
of this description, and manufacture only
one kind, and that kind the Americus,
it is good evidence that this mill is first
clats in all of its appointment?. Tbe
truth is that the Whitman Agricultural
Company, St. Louis, Mo., of this city,
warrant the Americus to produce frcm 20
to 25 per cent, more cider from the same
quantity of apples than any other mill of
different patents and principle. This
mill is so well endorsed by tnose who
have tried it, that we feel it unnecessary
to enter into the details of its corstruc-,
tion. For fall and more complete information, address the manufacturers.
