then skimmed milk, warmed a little, for a

Stock Sales.—The public sale of Davis
Lowman, of Toulon, 111., to be held at the
Galesburg stock yards Thursday, April
13th, advertised elsewhere in the Farmer,
will'comprise the entire "Green Lawn
Herd" of choice young Short-Horns.
Twenty head of the females are two year
old heifers, and thirteen are good young
bulls, all of the best families. The catalogue before us is an inviting one,
and will no doubt attract many breeders
to this sale.
Usually there is no argument that is so
convincing, as an appeal to the pocket.
And yet it is a singular fact that a standing weekly appeal of this kind has failed
to move very many of our farmers. Each
week we find in the stock market quotation figures similar to these:
"Choice grade steers 5.60@6.00, choice
native blood (scrub) 4.75@5.50."
There is the appeal, and it stands every
day, telling farmers who are content with
'•natives" that they are continually throwing away a large per cent, of their time,
feed, and therefore money, in persisting
in the folly of growing such stock.
Careful statistics show that more than a
million dollars are lost to the farmers of
the State in this one item of beef cattle.
The same is true of hogs and other stock.
The   common  hog falls far below  the
press, tells the agent to sell them. Our
cotemporary in exposing a case of this
kind says: _
The breeder may answer and offer to
send the hogs provided the money is put
into the hands of a responsible party in
St. Louis, or any other place named, but
his letter will come back to him from the
dead letter office at Washington, no such
name there ; or, he may send the hogs as
directed C. O. D., but the man who wrote
for them cannot be found—the name was
bogus. So Mr. A. makes it suit to call at
the express office and finds some fine
hogs there not claimed, so he tells the
agent he will pay express charges and
twenty-five dollars for the lot. The agent
writes to the shipper and a bargain is soon
made to sell them to Mr. A. at a greatly
reduced price, which the shipper thinks
is better perhaps than to ship them back
a long distance and pay express charges
both ways.
E. F. Noel, writing to the Rural Sun,
Nashville, Tenn., says:
This matchless race are pre-eminently
the best for the economical production of
the most choice beef. Any good Short-
Horn bullock, at two years old, will
weigh from 1,500 to 1,700 lbs., and
can be sold at from five to six cents per
pound, or from seventy-five to one hundred dollars. This Short-Horn steer will
eat no more than the scrub, and we think
far less. If both these animals be equally
and liberally kept, the scrub will not exceed at 2 years old 1,200 lbs., and the best
market for such is from three to four
cents per pound, or from thirty-six to
forty-eight dollars; thus making a difference in favor of the Short-Horn.
Holstein Herd Book.—We acknowledge the receipt of the Herd Book of the
Holstein cattle in the United States, from
Winthrop W. Chenery, of Boston. We
have several times of late referred to Mr.
Chenery, in reply to inquiries about this
rare breed of cattle, as entitled to the
credit of introducing and breeding this
excellent dairy stock into this country.
His importations, and. pure breeding
since, is attracting general attention at
the West, where the stock has been little
known. Mr. Chenery has sold several
rare Holstein animals to Western breeders in the past few years, which have given great satisfaction. In the future we
shall draw largely on the history and introduction of this breed into this country,
as we find it in the herd book before us.
The Stallion Show.—The following are
the premiums offered at the stallion show
at the State Fair Grounds in this city
April 5th:
For Best Draft Stallions, 4 years and
over, Silver Medal, $25.
For Best General Purpose Horse, 4
years and over, Silver Medal, $25.
Best Horse, Roadster, 4 years and over,
Silver Medal, $25.
Best Draft Horse, under 4 years, Silver
Medal.
Best General Purpose Horse, under 4
years, Silver Medal.
Best Roadster, under 4 years, Silver
Medal.
Feed and bedding will be furnished to
exhibitors at cost by the superintendent,
John L. Hanna. The entry fee for all
classes is one dollar. At the close of the
show the speed of the horses is to be
tested.
Mattoon, 111., had three fires on Sunday
night within a few hours of each other. They
are suppose"! to be the work of incendiaries.
The first was that of Duncan.s rag and paper
house in the heart of the city, and the other
two were residences, from which the families
were absent.

improved breeds in weight, and like the
beef market, are also quoted below the
latter, and more than two millions dollars per annum are lost in this way to the
farmers.
We are glad to note that these facts and
appeals are beginning to be heeded by our
farmers. The Indiana Farmer has often
called attention to them, and is greatly
encouraged to keep hammering away
with these facts. The fact is becoming
plainer every day that the most prosperous farmers belong to that class who have
heeded these appeals and that those who
are least prosperous still grow scrub steers,
and cows, and the "razor breed" of hogs,
and the other gaunt and fearfully antediluvian breeds of stock.
BREEDS OF THE PRIZE TAKERS AT
SMITHFIELD.
American Beef in English Markets.
It is Hereditary.
Editors Indiana Farmer:—In your
issue of March 4th I noticed a communication from John N. Navin, V. S., headed
"Not Hereditary."
I must differ with Mr. Navin in this
matter, having had several cases of abscess
on the lower jaw come under my obser*
vation within the lastjten years, and think
the affection constitutional rather than
mechanical. I cannot see why diseases
are not transmitted to the progeny of the
brute creation, as well as in the human
family, which no intelligent man will
deny.
A fine bull was purchased and brought
into our county, several years ago, and I
state it as a fact that his progeny were
more or less affected with abscess on the
lower jaw, the sire having had an abscess
after he was brought here. It hardly-
looks credible that so many cases should
all be the result of a hurt by rubbing
against fences, etc. Our farmers in Lake
county do not believe in using bulls with
swelled jaws, to improve their stock.
This is something in which we are interested. Will Mr. Navin please explain
more fully why he thinks the cause
mechanical? A Reader.
Ways that are Bark.
One of our exchanges mentions that
disreputable parties are in the habit of
ordering fine pigs sent to them, collect on
delivery, by express from breeders. They-
order in fictitious names. The pigs are
sent but the man of this name cannot be
found, and so some one (perhaps the
swindler himself) appears and offers the
express company's agent half price.
Orders are asked by mail or telegraph,
and the breeder, rather than be at the
expense of the feeding, and return ex-
The London Agricultural Gazette contains an interesting table, comprising all
the most important awards of prizes by
the Smithfield Club since its establishment, in 1807. From 1809 to 1829, however, the shows of the club were not
held, so that the number of years covered by the table is only forty-five. In
1807 and 1808 the prize winning ox was a
Hereford. For fifteen years (1830 to 1844,
inclusive,) a gold medal was given to "the
best beast in any one of the classes." It
was taken twelve times by Short-Horns
or Durhams, twice by Herefords, and
once by a North-Devon. For the thirty-
one years since 1844, two prizes have been
given each year—one for the best steer
or ox, the other for the best cow or heifer in the show. Of these sixty-two prizes,
thirty-nine have gone to Short-Horns,
and three to crosses of Short-Horns with
Devon, Scotch, and Hereford blood, respectively ; twenty-one to Herefords, and
one to a Hereford and Long-Horn cross;
fifteen to Devons, and three to Scotch
Polled. For the past seven years there
has also been a champion plate for the
best beast in the show, irrespective of age
or sex. This has been continuously won
by Short-Horns, with the single exception
of 1872, when a Polled Aberdeenshire
steer was successful over all competitors.
Thus we see that, in an aggregate of
eighty-six prizes, fifty-seven-were taken
by Short-Horns, against fifteen by Herefords, and fourteen by all other breeds
and cross-breeds—three of the latter being half of Short-Horn blood. This is
even a stronger record than we supposed
to exist. As the Smithfield prizes are
awarded wholly on the animals as beef,
it can scarcely be claimed that these
awards were influenced by questions of
fashion or pedigree.

SEED CORK.
Editors Indiana Farmer :—I saw an
article in the Farmer of the 11th, requesting farmers to plant corn to see if it would
grow. Now to all who grow corn let me
say, you can tell whether corn will grow
or not without planting it. In the spring
of 1852 there was but little corn in this
neighborhood that .would grow. I gdt
my seed com of Ethelbert Bryan; but Tit-
of it came up. We selected our se«d
corn from the pen, and were very careful.
We would bite off the ends of several
grains from an ear to examine the germ,
or heart, as we usually call it; every
heart that was of a swarthy color I rejected ; those with fresh looking hearts I
kept. Now examine your seed corn and
do as I did, and the corn you plant will
certainly grow. A few comparisons will
soon show the difference between those
that will grow and those that will not. I
have never failed since then to have all
my corn grow. S. W. Ribble.

The English papers still speak in favorable terms of the American beef brought
over in the refrigerative compartments of
the steamers of the Guion line. Each
steamer of this line takes out a consignment, and so far the offerings in the market have met with ready sale at top
prices. It will require some time yet to
demonstrate the experiment a complete
success, and its development will. be
watched with great interest, for if .entirely
successful, every steamer will probably
have a refrigerative compartment fitted
up, and take out fresh meat as a part of
her cargo. The accommodations on the
Guion steamers are capable of containing the carcasses of about 300 steers.

He lives about a quarter of a mile away, and
she started for his house on the run. Upon
