In addition to the regular premiums the National Live Stock Journal Co., propose to give a silver cup, or plate, of the value of $50 for the best fat hog of any age or breed on exhibition. They also ofler a $100 cup for the best beef animal, an^ age or breed, and a $50 cup for tlie best fat sheep. Such prizes will bring out the best fat stock in the Western country. We trust that Indiana will be represented in all the classes. a — -m Short-Horn Salo of John Comstock, Liberty Mills. From Henry Comstock, son of tlie proprietor, we have the following in reference to the sale wliich took place last week: The sale upon the whole is satisfactory. There were 41-head sold including one at private after the public sale, bringing altogether the sum of $3,985, an average of $97 per head all around, excepting six of the young bulls, none have had any groin since they were turned upon pasture in the spring. With undressed coats, right ofl" pasture in the rough, they have gone into the hands of many who, with proper care, will add much to their appearance, and they in turn can but give perfect satisfaction to those who'taught them. All the stock were sold to parties in the State, except Loudon Duke 112th, which goes to Minnesota. Henry Comstock. For John Comstock. The British Cattle at the Paris Exhibition. Mr. M'Combie, at the meeting of the Leochel-Cushnie Agricultural Association, said: "As you have been kind enough to allude to the late Paris International Exhibition, I may be allowed to take this opportunity to make a few remarks for the first time on that great event. It is gratifying to Sir George M. Grant, of Ballindalloch, Mr. George Bruce, and myself, too,'to have been able, not only to maintain the credit of our native breed of polled cattle at the late International E.xhibition in Paris, but that we have been able to place them at the top of all other breeds, tath native and foreign; that we have won the £100 prize for the best animals in the foreign section, comprehending our Short-horns, Herefords. Devons, Sussex, Aberdeens, Angus ahd Galloways, Suffolks, West Highlanders, Alderneys, Ayrshires, Ker- rys, Long-horns, Dutch, and others; and we have won' the £100 prize, likewise, for the best beef-producing animal, over all nations .of the world. The winners being the youngest group of the 30 or 40 in competition, a remarkable fact, this fact ought to shut the mouths of those who have talked so loudly and so long against the early maturity of our breed of native polled cattle. Sir George M. Grant's bull was a star of the first magnitude, and created a greater* sensation than any other animal in the yard. To save him from being eaten up, as it were, by the crowd, a guard of soldiers had to be specially stationed behind him, and regularly'relieved during the exhibition. I heard 200 guineas voluntarily offered for him without a price being asked. But he was priceless, and money could not buy him; and now, after six weeks' weary quarantine, and two months' absence from home, he is safe in his old stall at Ballindalloch. Mr. Bruce's first prize cow was also one of the stars of the yard. Sir G. M. Grant, Mr. G. Bruce and myself have strong claims on the gratitude of the breeders of polled cattle—on your gratitude, my friends, as we sit here in the verj* midst of the strongholds of the polls—as, if it had not been for us, you would not have heard of the polled cuttle at Paris,. Be k,ind enough to consider .what theyJislYc achieved. "ATl!'*^ i>~.i fc** ^ontentragainst tne nest exhibits of almost 2,000 animals from all the local, national, and international show-yards of the world, and abide by the adjudication of twenty-nine foreign and two British jurors. You will see two British jurors could have had little influence; and I may mention that one of them was one of the two who voted for Lady Pigot's Short-horns. It is all very convenient for the Short-horn breeders to say— though not very gallant to an honorable lady—that the best Short-horn herds were not represented. But with the greatest assurance I can say that tliere were eight aged Short-hom bulls in the French section superior, as a lot, to anything I have ever seen exhibited in England or Scotland. More than this, Lady Pigot's group itself was individually composed of tlie highest and most fashionable Short-horn blood in England; and in every showyard where her ladyship has exhibited for "Family Prizes," her groups have carried all beforo thom. Sir G. M. Grant, Mr. G. Bruce, and myself have done our best, and we have placed the Polls in their present position, as the finest cattle in tlie world. This, however, may be "the last scene of the drama" for me. The Aberdeen and Angus, aud the North, must look to younger men. I would hand them over to Sir George, to Mr. Bruce, and to other celebrated breeders of the Polls; and to you, my friends, confident that in your hands they will maintain the position they now occupy, in spite ofthe efforts wliich you may be sure will be made to wrest it from them. Gentlemen, our polled breed of cattle have long boen the pride ofour aristocracy, they .were the pride of tlieir forefathers, and at this moment are the admiration and wonder ofthe world." ing! It is possible, afterall, that these champion cattle may have been improved by an infusion of Short-horn blood, because there is no blood more popular than this in Aberdeenshire, as was shown by the magnificent cross-bred Short-horns exhibited by the Aberdeen breeders at the lastSmithfield Fat-cattle Show. But to return to our text—tne superiority of pure blood. It consists, as we have said, in uniformity of established characteristics. But a breed to be valuable must have excellence, as well as uniformity of characteristics. Tliere are many varieties of animals whose peculiarities are fixed and uniform, that are utterly destitute of profitable qualities; and it is not a difficult matter to establish a uniformity of inferiority upon a breed of the highest excellence, by a want of caro, and the neglect of tlie well-established principles of breeding. We have already referred to striking and obvious improvement resulting from crossing pure blood with the common or inferior; and we have sometimes seen the cross-bred progeny superior to the thoroughbred sire in feeding and flesh- producing quality. Whenever this is the case, it is most obvious that the purebred race has deteriorated in consequence of unskillful breeding, or bad management. , . > Withllesh-producingstock, we think the most common cause of deterioration is close and in-and-in breeding. All practical men know that this practice tends to diminish the growth, and that animals that have been incestuously bred are defective in the chest—that most essential point in a feeding or grazing beast. The hair, too, becomes short and scanty, the hide thin, and the animal, though handsome and stylish, shows an obvious absence of thrift and robustness. The common method of correcting these unfavorable characteristics in fashionably-bred families,-is to seek what is erroneously caleld an out-cross in another fashionably-bred famUy that has been as incestuously bred, and has, therefore, the same objectionable characteristics. This is called breeding for a type. I think that nine out of ten of the practical breeders of Short-horn cattle will agree with me in tlie opinion, that very serious injury has resulted to our best Short-horn strains from this practice. And now that the random favors of fashion are withdrawn from this great department of agriculture, may we not hope for a return to the old, common-sense practice of breeding with reference to having no longer any doubt as to where the runaway had gone, drove to Manchester as directly as he could go, hearing from the horse occasionally all the way, and on arriving at Manchester there he was, sure enough, in his old stall in the stable, which lie had left eighteen months before.—Manchester, N. H., Mirror. S . —* - — a. The age of cattle is indicated with unerring certainty by the teeth, to those who have judgment and experience, until the animal reachestheage of six or seven. Until two years old, no new teeth are cut. At that age, two new teetn appear; at three, two more are cut, and in the two succeeding years, two in each year. At five, the mouth is said to be full, though not completely so until six, because, until that period, the two corner teeth (the last in renewal) are not perfectly up. A full-grown animal has altogether 32 teeth. QUERY AND ANSWER. W. T. D. requests that any of our readers who.have white-faced Black Spanish fowls for sale, will advertise them in the Farmer, as he wishes to purchase some of this breed. Give price per pair and trio. Mb. S.yndage, a correspondent living in Perry county, informs us that he has a positive cure for hog cholera and bloody murrian. We have butlittle faith in any of the so-called sure cures for swine and cattle'diseases, but if Mr. S. desires to maW- the ingredients of his remedy known, he is at liberty to publish them in our columns. Silver Creek Creamery and Cheese Factory. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: On my return from the State Fair, I visited the Silver Creek Creamery and Cheese factory at Lagro, Wabash Co. I found it located in the midst of a good farming country, and from appearances, the farmers seemed well to do, antl from the building they have erected for their work, I judge that they are determined upon success. They have the most substantial and best finished building that I ever saw put up for the purpose, I would judge, frost proof. The upper storj* is frame and nicely finished, painted and double-ceiled. One ceiling is of building paper. This is then stripped so as to havo an air space, and then ceiled with planed and matched ceiling. The room is arranged so as to regulate the temperature very nicely. The floor in the basement is cemented with water lime, and the drainage is well arranged, and by permission of the patentee, they are to have the late improved underground ventilation arrangement attached, whicii I think, with their otlier improvements, will make their buUding about as perfect as any in its line. I found Mr. G. Stevens, formerly of Indianapolis, superintending the work, and found him a gentleman, pleasant and friendly, ready to ask and answer questions in respect to handling milk, and the manufacture of butter and cheese. As to cleanliness, I. think the work is done as near perfection as can be. The goods they are turning out appear to be excellent, and I understand, find a ready sale. There are two young men of the neightarhood who work without wages and board themselves. Liquor Selling at tho Stato Pair. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: My attention has been culled to the two articles in last week's Farmer, on the subject of liquor-selling on theState P'air grounds, during our last fair. Those articles require more than a brief notice from me, in reply, and time will not permit me to prepare my answer in time for this week's Farmeh. Please say to your readers that they may expect my answer to the charges in next week's paper. R. M. Lockhaiit. Waterloo, Oct. 21st. In behalf of Mr. Lockhart we ask suspension of judgment in this ease till his communication appears. We have reason to believe that he can exculpate himself, and in doing so will place the responsibility for admitting the sale of liquor on the fair grounds where it properly belongs* —Eds. Nora, Marion Co., Oet. 21st. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: ■» I am very much pleased .with your position on the question of selling liquor on the fair grounds. Unless the State Board can do something to restore confidence in the public mind, the attendance at the next fair will bemueh reduced. The disposition among the people is not to encourage such imposition by attending the fair as exhibiters or visitors. Frank Williamson. Jitst as Bad as we Ark.—W. H. Y., in reporting the Tolland county, Conn., fair in the last Itural New Yorker speaks as follows: ystate Agricultural Report. To the Editors Indiana Farmer. Where can I get a copy of the State agricultural report, for 1877 ? I applied to our Auditor for one, but he had none. "Orily'feent me five or six." I think it is a burning shame that the farmer is taxed so jieavily; and yet cannot obtain even an agricultural report, without paying extra for it.

To the Editors Indiana Farmer: I see by the Farmer ofthe 19th inst., that Dr. Voyles is surprised to think that the farmers are so slow to inform him of the ravages of the hog disease, (or cholera so-called). I thought the postal correspondence every week in the Fabmkr was full of the reports from the infected districts. If you will inform him that we have an abundance of hog disease in Howard eounty, and if he ean visit our county, I will take pleasure in showing him where plenty of the sick are at this time. I have buried three'of'my hogs The Superiority of Pure Blood. In live-stock breeding, by pure blood we mean a race of animals with established and uniform characteristics. In what are called the improved breeds, the most striking manifestation of excellence Ls found in the improvement the blood produces when crossed with the common or inferior sorts. This is especially true in meat and milk-producing stock. Close or incestuous breeding is unfavorable to the production of fiesh, and tends to infertility. Therefore, inbred hens are poor layers, ami inbred cows, as a rule, inferior milkers. It is "a common opinion, that blooded stock will not breed Small Horses. Perhaps it would bc better expressed and more to the point to say heavier horses are the need of the times. Trotting horses, pacers, runners, or any other gait, are all right in their places, but the majority of horses are for labor aud not show; they are on duty as producers, and are valuable in proportion as they can do work; they are the motive power on the farm, the highway, and in the large towns and cities—as indispensable as bread and butter. Prices of large horses of all breeds that are compactly built and constructed on good rules of proportion, rule high and pay well the handling. "Plugs" and scrub stock are cheap, and will be even less in price than heretofore, as all who eniyloy teams are fust learning that a heavy, strong team costs no more to keep than a light, poor one, but even less, and can do much more service. A farmer should have, anyway, one heavy, strong team. He may own a small, light span, but for plowing and general use, the heavy team, that seldom is urged bevond a fast walk on the road, and will take a fourteen or sixteen inch plow and go all day without evidence of weariness, is the one to depend on. The market is full of semi-fast stock, they do not command a staple price, but depend wholly on circumstances for the margin of profit if any that they yield. Pure-blooded Norman and Clydesdales may not be the best in their exclusive natures, but by crossing them with good native Western stock can be produced a superior grade of horses that will command good prices and ta in demand at all times. Farmers should not be indifferent to this fact, and when they propose to raise a colt, select from that stock which will insure a heavy horse; it may cost more in the beginning but will bring larger returns in the end. Good horses, good cattlo, good sheep and hogs, are a good deal the cheapest. —E vangel ist. M-Tocdb, Oet. 14. Secretary Alex. Heron will furnish you | with a copy,,if he has any to spare. It j is seldom, however, that farmers ask for these publications, and it would be a great waste of money to publish more thau are wanted. No charge is made for thom. < _*. » Ferrets. Sterling III., Oct. 15. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: In your issue of the 12th I see some very strong arguments in favor of keeping ferrets. Will you please give me a little advice as to the nature and habits of these amimals? Will they live in any climate? Are they hardy? Do they multiply rapidly ? Is there any danger with them? What would a pair cost? Where could I get them? etc., and much oblige. Yours truly, C. E. F. Ferrets are only useful in this country, as fur as we know, in routing fats out of tlieir holes. This service they can do with neatness and dispatch. They are hardy enough for this climate and multiply as rapidly as most rat catchers will require. They are somewhat dangerous and must be handled with care, aud kept in wire pens, or well secured boxes, as they are exceedingly blood-thirsty, and would make sad havoc in a chicken house or pig pen. A gentleman in this city bas'two or three pairs for sale, but we do not know his price. He will advertise soon in these columns. the trade. Young men learning this business are taking a step in tbe right direction, and I hope the time will soon come when we will find many more anxious to go and do likewise. From samples of butter I saw of tills creamery make, it seems to me that the next time our N ew York friends visit your city, they will not have to "trot Indiana out against any other three States for poor butter," but can have good Orange Co. butter, made in Wabash Co., Ind., and if it was not for the name and locality, I think there would be as good cheeso made here as oh the Western Reserve, or in New York State. But we are apt to think that goods should ta brought far and sold dear in order to be good, or rather we send our moneyi out of the State to buy*;that which-wca*!! -produce ourselves... .* ; • J. 13.

If everything of this kind could be abolished from fair grounds, so that young people, (and older ones too) could come without the danger of being drawn into immoral practices, the attendance at fairs would be greatly increased.
