The true Duroc, aa now bred by those who are aiming to keep the breed perfect anB establish them as thoroughbred, should be long and quite deep bodied, not round but broad on the back and holding tbe width well out to the hips and hams. The head should be small compared with the body, with the cheek broad and full. The neck should be short and thick, and the face slightly curved, with the nose rather longer than in the English breeds, the ear rather large and lopped over the eye. They are not fine lined nor yet coarse, but medium; the legs medium in length and size, but set well under the body and well apart, and not cut up high in the flank or above the knee. The hams should be broad and full well down to the hock. There should be a good coat of hair of medium fineness, inclining to bristles at the top ofthe' shoulders, the tail being hairy and not small; the hair, usually straight, but in some cases a little wavy. The color should be red, varying from dark gloesy cherry red, and even brownish hairs, to light yellowish red, with occasionally a small fleck of black on the belly and legs. The darker shades of red are preferred by "most breeders. And this is the type of color most desirable. In dispo sition they are remarkably mild and gentle, and so docile that they are readily confined by low fences. They are kind and careful mothers and wonderfully prolific. They have a remarkable ability to digest food and to make growth. Thia is owing to their hardy constitutions and perfection in the proportions of their bodies, and the strong blood which haa made its mark so notably for more than halt a century. It is a common thing for Duroc pigs at six months of age to weigh 800 lbs., and at eight and ten months to tarn the scales at 400 to 500 pounds. Hogs a year and a half old have weighed from 700 to 800 pounds. Pigs four weeks old will weigh from 20 to 30 p< unds and- measure over two feet in length and from six to 8 _he-___QS!L^the shoulders. For rapid roes are not excelled, rnenncatr-r-St*- coarse grained, but fine and tender. Their powers of assimilating food are so great tbat they readily eat coarse food, more dainty breeds would not touch, and will even fatten on grass alone, and in winter will eat with avidity clover, hay and roots that other hogs will refuse. They are not subject to mange or liable to get sunburnt. —Sural New Yorker. INDIANAPOLIS, INJANA, AUGUST 10,1878. No. 32. tothe international monetary congress to begin in Palis, Ang. 10th. The miners of the Tuscarawas Ooal Company, at Ubrichsville, Ohio, have struck against a reduction of their wages from 70 to 60 cents per ton. There were 67 failures in New York city in July, with aggregate liabilities $5,738,171, an increase over the month of June In the number of failures and the amount of liabilities. An elevator, owned by Nicholson & Co., at Henry, Illinois, was struck by lightning on the lst inst., and burned to the ground, together with its contents, over 30,000 bushels of grain. The warehouse waa worth 130,000, and the grain about $15,000. At Lanaconing, Md., on the 2nd inst., Mary Pritchard was killed, Hubert Dick probably severely CHILD BBO'S.

It is a February pig and weighs 225 pounds; is splen. didly marked in all points. He paid a good round sum for him. He will go at the head of his herd. Bev. Samuel Frazee has just added to his herd a very fine two month's old heifer, that will prove a valuable acquisition to his already fine list of animals. A double Young Mary, being out of I. N. Harris' celebrated cow Lenoir, by Muscatoon, 7057, and sired by E. Man, 2639*}. Lenoir will be bred to Mr. Frazee's fine Bates Bull, Earl of Glcster,3541, American Short-horn Record. This is the bull that killed his owner, an old gentleman, in Henry county last year, but in Mr. Frazee's hands he has proven very tractable. ■ m ■ Duroc Swine. Large va. Small Hogs. Bed and sandy hogs, called Duroc, have been bred in parts of New York, for more than fifty years. They have crossed and recrossed upon other breeds during all these years, and their progeny have always retained characteristics of the original sire first brought into the country about the year 1823. Mr. Isaac Frink purchased him of Mr." Kelsey, ofthe town of Florida, Montgomery county, N. Y., who claimed to have imported a pair, the immediate ancestors of Mr. Frink'a pig, from England. Mr. Kelsey waa the owner of the celebrated horse Duroc, and Mr. Frink named the descendants of his pig Duroc, in honor of the horse by that name. The Duroc pigs were popular and spread into Washington and adjacent counties, where they are still bred. They are undoubtedly descended from the same original stock as the Jersey Beds, now bred in the State of New Jersey, and hogs called Eed Berkshires in some parts of New England. They were probably an offshoot or family of old-fashioned Berkshires. This opinion was expressed in the National Swine-breeders' Convention, and no one has yet controverted it. The old type of Berkshires often showed pigs of a reddish cast, and at the present time this characteristic breaks out in the form of plum color, sometimes with a hue quite red. It is remarkable that one pig should have so strongly stamped hia color and characteristics on his progeny that at this late day all of his scions exhibit more or less marks I of the original type, gome of them bave ^been crossed upon the modern Berkshires A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer argues in favor of large breeds aa follows: "I assert that a man can have just as good breakfast bacon ont of the Berkshire or Poland China as he can from any smaller breed. If you wish to butcher your hogs at home and market the bacon, kill at seven or eight months old, and I will guarantee as much good breakfast bacon as any one can get out of a smaller breed. While the Essex, his favorite, ia a good feeder, and lays on fat very rapidly, as a matter of course, the sides will not measure so large, but they will be fatter and thicker, and I claim I have the nicest meat when cured—a streak of lean and a streak of fat all the way through the sides. I have always made my meat for home use, out of spring hogs butchered at about seven or eight months old, and have never had a groceryman find fault with any bacon that I have sold, which I had left over; and my experience leads me to think that the farmer in the great corn valleys of Kansas, makes a grand m'stake when he adopts a smaller kind ofhORS for profit. Farmers do not want to kill their hogs, but feed to sell on foot, for profit, and a good, smooth lot of hogs that will weigh 300 to 408 pounds, will sell with any that fall below that average. ■ m ■ Angus or Aberdeen Cattle. Is it possible, nay, doea it not look probable that, judging from the results of the Paris exhibition, the Short-horn, hitherto regarded as the royal breed, the unapproachable breed, may not have to acknowledge the equal merit, at least of the Angus, a breed, which only yesterday had the advantages of a herd-book f From the excellence some of the animals of the breed have' attained, under the patronage of that eminent breeder, Mr. M'Combie, it would seem that time, and the continuation of the Bame care were alone required to give the world, in considerable numbers, animals of great quality of the now almost unknown breed. We suggest to the breeders of America, m view of the success attained by the Angus cattle, at the great Paris Exhibition, to consider whether they may not be profitably imported, and be of advantage to American agriculture. We find the following in a report of the live stock department ofthe Exhibi- tionin the North British Agriculturist:— "This is, indeed, a proud week for Tilly- four and the polled Angus, or Aberdeen breed of cattle, Mr. M'Combie having been adjudged the £100 prize for best group of cattle, bred by exhibitor, and reared out of France; and the £100 for the best lot of beef-making animals, bred by exhibitor, reared and fed in any country; besides over £100 in ordin: class prize money, and several gold silver medals. That is, no doubt, a gr honor to Scotland's 'cattle king," and gratification to breeders of black polli cattle generally; but it is not all that hfcs to be recorded to the credit ofthe 'blacfc [ skins.' Mr. M'Combie's successful group numbered^&tm^^____\__Q_i__^B\^ql ^«XrS£&thecontest,bu^n £^WifcMersr--__e_aI^^ ance which black cattle have made at tf exhibition may be imagined from thefai that of the fifteen Bhown, twelve were the best of all the foreign breeds, and thej remaining three included the first and second prize cows, and the second prize aged bull. While there is thus a good representation of polled cattle in every class, there is nothing approaching 'a weed,' which can hardly be said of any other breed of cattle. Every black polled animal haa a ticket of some kind."—Sci entific Farmer. 51, with Grand Orchestral Swell and1 High Top; *-" lumns richly carved.

A twelve-year-old son of Emanuel Crip- penger, of Union township, Elkhart county, fell from a hay mow, on the 3rd inst, a distance of sixteen feet, being killed instantly. Charles Baird, a youth of 15 years, was drowned at Terre Haute last Sunday. A boy has bten drowned there for the last three consecutive Sundays. A printer, named James Quarn, waa killed by the Cairo and Yincennes freight, on the 1th inst, by getting hia foot caught in a tog while intoxicated.

The true value of salt for feeding o animals is neither as well understood n< r appreciated as it should be by a lar; i class of farmers, and the best mode f feeding is too frequently ignored, evi when its importance is fully admitte That it is actually required by anima is shown by the amount of salt contain in the blood of the human species, being fully one-half of one percent, ai 57} per cent, ofthe ashes of blood. L vestigation has proven that where ss is supplied with tne food, this proportio! is invariable, and where not suppliec other parts of the system must suppl; the deficiency, to their injury. What' true of the human species is equa true of our farm stock' and anim: wbich suffer the same troubles wi deprived of salt. When the equilibrr of any part is disturbed, the whole tem is weakened, and the animal comes liable to disease, and the ays succumbs when attacked.' Salt is a great aid in digestion, lid the natural instinct of animals pronftts them to its use, aa is evinced by tEir resorting to salt licks and other natA-al sources, previous to and during the efcy settlement of our country, and by wat may be still witnessed at tiie presentfey on the pampas of South America kd other wilds, where herds of horses ltd other cattle travel miles to obtain f natural sources a much needed bu It is an undoubted fact that when mala have unrestrained access to ssfi at all times, many of the diseases to vftch they are liable are warded off andgre- vented by keeping the system re] We find that when salt is regularly »en them only good results follow, as Evidenced in their exemption from di Where free access is had to aalt.jtock will only take what is needful, but Here the supply ia inconstant, a surffe is often taken which frequently ojfiites injuriously.

The true Duroc, aa now bred by those who are aiming to keep the breed perfect anB establish them as thoroughbred, should be long and quite deep bodied, not round but broad on the back and holding tbe width well out to the hips and hams. The head should be small compared with the body, with the cheek broad and full. The neck should be short and thick, and the face slightly curved, with the nose rather longer than in the English breeds, the ear rather large and lopped over the eye. They are not fine lined nor yet coarse, but medium; the legs medium in length and size, but set well under the body and well apart, and not cut up high in the flank or above the knee. The hams should be broad and full well down to the hock. There should be a good coat of hair of medium fineness, inclining to bristles at the top ofthe' shoulders, the tail being hairy and not small; the hair, usually straight, but in some cases a little wavy. The color should be red, varying from dark gloesy cherry red, and even brownish hairs, to light yellowish red, with occasionally a small fleck of black on the belly and legs. The darker shades of red are preferred by "most breeders. And this is the type of color most desirable. In dispo sition they are remarkably mild and gentle, and so docile that they are readily confined by low fences. They are kind and careful mothers and wonderfully prolific. They have a remarkable ability to digest food and to make growth. Thia is owing to their hardy constitutions and perfection in the proportions of their bodies, and the strong blood which haa made its mark so notably for more than halt a century. It is a common thing for Duroc pigs at six months of age to weigh 800 lbs., and at eight and ten months to tarn the scales at 400 to 500 pounds. Hogs a year and a half old have weighed from 700 to 800 pounds. Pigs four weeks old will weigh from 20 to 30 p< unds and- measure over two feet in length and from six to 8 _he-___QS!L^the shoulders. For rapid roes are not excelled, rnenncatr-r-St*- coarse grained, but fine and tender. Their powers of assimilating food are so great tbat they readily eat coarse food, more dainty breeds would not touch, and will even fatten on grass alone, and in winter will eat with avidity clover, hay and roots that other hogs will refuse. They are not subject to mange or liable to get sunburnt. —Sural New Yorker. INDIANAPOLIS, INJANA, AUGUST 10,1878. No. 32. tothe international monetary congress to begin in Palis, Ang. 10th.

This is the bull that killed his owner, an old gentleman, in Henry county last year, but in Mr. Frazee's hands he has proven very tractable. ■ m ■ Duroc Swine. Large va. Small Hogs. Bed and sandy hogs, called Duroc, have been bred in parts of New York, for more than fifty years. They have crossed and recrossed upon other breeds during all these years, and their progeny have always retained characteristics of the original sire first brought into the country about the year 1823. Mr. Isaac Frink purchased him of Mr." Kelsey, ofthe town of Florida, Montgomery county, N. Y., who claimed to have imported a pair, the immediate ancestors of Mr. Frink'a pig, from England. Mr. Kelsey waa the owner of the celebrated horse Duroc, and Mr. Frink named the descendants of his pig Duroc, in honor of the horse by that name. The Duroc pigs were popular and spread into Washington and adjacent counties, where they are still bred. They are undoubtedly descended from the same original stock as the Jersey Beds, now bred in the State of New Jersey, and hogs called Eed Berkshires in some parts of New England. They were probably an offshoot or family of old-fashioned Berkshires. This opinion was expressed in the National Swine-breeders' Convention, and no one has yet controverted it. The old type of Berkshires often showed pigs of a reddish cast, and at the present time this characteristic breaks out in the form of plum color, sometimes with a hue quite red. It is remarkable that one pig should have so strongly stamped hia color and characteristics on his progeny that at this late day all of his scions exhibit more or less marks I of the original type, gome of them bave ^been crossed upon the modern Berkshires A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer argues in favor of large breeds aa follows: "I assert that a man can have just as good breakfast bacon ont of the Berkshire or Poland China as he can from any smaller breed. If you wish to butcher your hogs at home and market the bacon, kill at seven or eight months old, and I will guarantee as much good breakfast bacon as any one can get out of a smaller breed. While the Essex, his favorite, ia a good feeder, and lays on fat very rapidly, as a matter of course, the sides will not measure so large, but they will be fatter and thicker, and I claim I have the nicest meat when cured—a streak of lean and a streak of fat all the way through the sides. I have always made my meat for home use, out of spring hogs butchered at about seven or eight months old, and have never had a groceryman find fault with any bacon that I have sold, which I had left over; and my experience leads me to think that the farmer in the great corn valleys of Kansas, makes a grand m'stake when he adopts a smaller kind ofhORS for profit. Farmers do not want to kill their hogs, but feed to sell on foot, for profit, and a good, smooth lot of hogs that will weigh 300 to 408 pounds, will sell with any that fall below that average. ■ m ■ Angus or Aberdeen Cattle. Is it possible, nay, doea it not look probable that, judging from the results of the Paris exhibition, the Short-horn, hitherto regarded as the royal breed, the unapproachable breed, may not have to acknowledge the equal merit, at least of the Angus, a breed, which only yesterday had the advantages of a herd-book f From the excellence some of the animals of the breed have' attained, under the patronage of that eminent breeder, Mr. M'Combie, it would seem that time, and the continuation of the Bame care were alone required to give the world, in considerable numbers, animals of great quality of the now almost unknown breed. We suggest to the breeders of America, m view of the success attained by the Angus cattle, at the great Paris Exhibition, to consider whether they may not be profitably imported, and be of advantage to American agriculture. We find the following in a report of the live stock department ofthe Exhibi- tionin the North British Agriculturist:— "This is, indeed, a proud week for Tilly- four and the polled Angus, or Aberdeen breed of cattle, Mr. M'Combie having been adjudged the £100 prize for best group of cattle, bred by exhibitor, and reared out of France; and the £100 for the best lot of beef-making animals, bred by exhibitor, reared and fed in any country; besides over £100 in ordin: class prize money, and several gold silver medals. That is, no doubt, a gr honor to Scotland's 'cattle king," and gratification to breeders of black polli cattle generally; but it is not all that hfcs to be recorded to the credit ofthe 'blacfc [ skins.'

While there is thus a good representation of polled cattle in every class, there is nothing approaching 'a weed,' which can hardly be said of any other breed of cattle. Every black polled animal haa a ticket of some kind."—Sci entific Farmer. 51, with Grand Orchestral Swell and1 High Top; *-" lumns richly carved.
