Messrs. A. S. Gilmour & Co. have lately purchased a fine Berkshire boar from S. A. Knapp, of Vinton, Iowa. These breeders are on the lookout for the best pigs of the kinds they are breeding and pick them up wherever they find them, regardless of price. Our readers will notice the change in their card in our Breeders Directory. s m s Galled Shoulders. r.v Take hot lime shells of the bulk of two quarts, and pour upon them two quarts of cold water; and after they have intimately combined, pour off the liquid into a dish. Add to this liquid five wineglass- fulls of linseed oil and two ounces of fine powdered sugar of lead, dissolved in a fittje water. Stir them together, and then bottle and cork for use. After the bruises have been washed in the evening, anoint them with this liquid with a feather until the wounds heal. Berkshires — Some Interesting Notes frern a Practical Breeder. Onarga, 111., July 24th. Editors Indiana Farmer:—Seeing several statements recently in your paper giving weights of pigs, and thinking that Illinois can beat them all, I send you the following: Wm. A. Boswell, of this place, has a litter of nine Berkshires that were farrowed April 7th, and on the 23d of July weighed 940 pounds, an average of a fraction over 104 pounds each, at 8} months old. One of the pigs got lame, and one was ruptured and castrated, causing the two to fall considerably behind the others in weight. . I have been breeding Chesters, Berkshires, Essex and Poland China swine for some years, and find them all good. I consider the Berkshire the best, for the followingjreasons:; - They are the most prolific --—'—' ** -*• ■ J"*J— ing better mothers and not liable to overlie or trample on their pigs. The quality of pork being better and the pigs not liable to mange. I do not find the objection to them that some of your correspondents do, to wit: that they are too small, that not being the case here. Our Berkshires weigh from 400 to 600 pounds at maturity. I have often seen them to weigh 600 and 900 pounds. Jesse Cloyd, (now deceased,) of 'Champaign county, exhibited three at our State Fair, held at Decatur, in 1870, that weighed from 830 to 950 lbs., at two yeare old. The only objection to the Poland China is that they are very poor mothers. They usually destroy a large part or all of their pigs by their heedlessness, particularly if bred for early pigs. If a farmer will have his pigs come from the first of June until falL allowing the sows to run on grass without much grain, they usually save their pigs. I could never raise enough spring pigs from my Poland Chinas to pay for keeping the sows, and haye abandoned them. The Essex is a good hog, but should be kept by themselves, as they carry a great deal of fat, and other hogs are apt to injure them. They are a little delicate when young. Ihave no objection to th Chesters, except that farmers would no buy them on account of the color, and they mange badly under unfavorable circumstances. C. BEEF AND FOBS. The Pall MaU Gazette says: "The dis- eases to which cattle are liable unfortunately,-as a rule, baffle the skill of veterinary science, and for this reason alone some anxiety will no doubt be caused by a' singular disease called 'charbon,' which, it is stated, has made its appearance among the cows in the Parish of Galane, County of Cork. Death seems to follow seizure:- with striking rapidity, one of seven.cows attacked on the same day having died in four hours. With the view of probably of not wasting the flesh of even a diseased cow, the stomach of the animal was divided into small pieces, which, with great kindness and liberality, were distributed among some ducks and geese. The result was not satisfactory. The ducks and geese voraciously devoured the feast thus placed before them, and in less than five minutes began to totter about, and then fell down dead. An attempt was made by.the veterinary surgeon to bleed the infected animals, but no blood, would flow. The blood resembled tar in its color. and consistency. It is some comfort to hear that the carcasses of the animals, by direction of the police, have been buried very deep. The deeper the better; and even cremation might with advantage have been brought into operation as regards these cows. .—'—'' y 'm m . Feed for. Short-horns sides having little milk, their offspring come qfte'n and vainly ^ pulling at the empty ve&l, are thus" more apt to have mouthfu-s'of the dangerous wool.—North British Agriculturalist. V JL At a Fine Stock Convention held at Vinton, Iowa, the well-known Short-horn breeder, and dealer, S. W. Jacobs, said the average weight of his Short-horns at one year old was 1,000 pounds. He fed milk six months and grain six months, giving four quarts daily. He also said: "I treat a calf kindly, give it its mother's milk only; at four weeks old it will commence to eat dry shelled corn. I do not measure the quantity, but let it eat what it will eat clean; feed three times per day; do not let it out in the hot sun to graze; curry it sometimes; at'three Tnat'aoes'not pJEysic,"ana improves rue hair and appearance of the head; and also, when an animal scours, give it oilcake. For a large bull you want a double stall; half an hour of exercise by letting him run in the yard; water as often as he wants it. We water our stock three times a day. Feed a bushel of cut hay mixed with fifteen pounds of corn-meal and three pounds of oil-cake." « m m Liniment for Horses. Hints to Horse Traders. A few sows will soon stock a farm with hogs enough to consume all the surplus com, and if they are good grade stock, thoroughbreds crossed with the common hogs, the corn so fed will yield the farmer nearly double the price he gets for it when sold to the grain buyers. Such a plain and easy way of nearly doubling the value of corn should certainly com- ' mand the attention of all. The reason it is not done is simply neglect. That is the whole story. When they see that this can be done, it is just at the time they haven't the hogs to do it with, and so year after year some neglect their opportunities, never providing themselves selves with stock to consume their surplus corn. This is all plain enough to them, but they venture on experiments, continue to fritter away their opportunities, and are forced to sell their surplus grain at starving prices. Resolve to breed some good grade stock, feed the surplus and you will never regret it. " The same is true of beef cattle. We re- ifer to hogs specially because farmers with Ismail means can soonest stock their R. S. Steele writes to the American Farmer's Club:—"Some time ago I was a good deal worried with a couple of horses which had sore backs. I tried various remedies without success, and was beginning to despair when the following receipt came to mv notice: 'The inner bark of white oak bark boiled down in an iron kettle (never use a brass one) until it is as black at* ink; while boiling drop in a piece of alum about the size of a hen's egg.' This liniment is to be applied with a sponge, ahd is good for any sore or bruise; in fact it is a safe thing to keep in one's barn ready to use when occasion requires. As I found this so useful, I nture to send it for the benefit of oth- .vho may not be in the possession of hingas good. I think it is also an . llentplan in warm weather to clean the collars often with castile soap. HOTESIFE0M HEWT01T COUNTY, 1 INDIANA. ■■-K EorroRS Indiana Farmer:—The wet season hos ruined the corn crops on all the leveJuand in this section. One of the heaviest' corn growers on the Iroquois river this county, last week offered to take one hundred dollars for one hundred and thiriy acres of his growing corn. This land usually produces sixty to seventy bushels per acre, but it will hardly have two hundred bushels on the one hundred'and thirty acres this year. The high land on Beaver Prairie will grow the most of the corn that is grown in this county this year. Very little wheat is grown r.ere, and the crop this season was trifling. Oats are a poor crop. Hay is a fair crop. There is a good deal of old corn in the fanners hands here from last year, but much of it is poor and damaged. This is a very productive corn country when the season is fair. The corn crop of year before last was a very large one. Farmers felt they were getting rich, as good prices were obtained, and many plunged into debt for more land, improvements etc., and they are now hard pushed to meet their obligations. The only safe way I find is to keep cut of debt, and near shore. All will have to learn this. The big crop of two yea-rs ago made land sell at good prices, and now it is a drug, and much reduced in price. Taking the failure of the crops, andthe threatened bankruptcy by? the iniquitous resumption of specie'act, and the people feel blue in thi3 part of the State. J. D. K. AQEICULTUEAL CONGRESS. i. le4' ft. Lambs Dying from Swallowing Wool. 'NOTpi FROM WABASH^ COUNTY. has been a very wet one until within two weeks, in which time we have not had more than enough rain to dampen the hay a little. I notice in the corn fields that have been ploughed regularly, at least once in eight days, no damp earth is turned up by the shovels. Farmers and others have been prophesying a drouth for a wind up of our wet season. Already farmers are occasionally looking skyward and then at the corn. Their thoughts are easily divined. The clouds are gathering. Just enough lightning to remind us that there is electricity in the air. Though grumbling, the thunder gently rolls in the distance, and with it comes "the pattering of the rain." It falls so gently and is --o welcome that the stock and fowls would rather each accept the outside pressure as it falls than take to the shelter. That snapping, snarling sound does not come from the seventy- acres of freshly ploughed corn, but with the continuous stirring of the surface and the copious shower that now so opportunely comes will add several hundred bushels of corn for store. The winding up of wheat harvest was decidedly hot. The last was a fine week for making bay, and many took advantage of it. Hundreds of tons were put up in this vicinity. Henry Comstock. Liberty Mills, Ind. NEWS OF THE WEEK. First, look al the horse while standing still in the stable. If he seems to rest one foot, look that leg from top to bottom; see if he has any splints, spavins, puffs, windgalls, or curbs, or if he is.knee- sprung, and if his hip-cap is down, for in fat horses this sometimes hardly shows. Next, his eyes; if they look weak and he is young, it may be caused by what are commonly called "blind teeth." If this is so, his face will be thick, and they can easily be found by looking just in front of the first grinders, and should be pulled with common horse forceps, or punched out. The first is preferable, as ycu can't get all the roots by punching every time. Next, look at his coupling, and if he kips up well. By placing your ear to his breast, you can usually ascertain if his wind is good, after a little traveling. Next see if he stands straight on his feet, or if he stretches himself while standing. It is a great mistake to want to see a horse on the move all the time. You can learn twice as much about a horse standing still as while moving. Far better back a horse than see him go forward; for if stiff, there is where he will show it, and that is what will tell on his shoulders, if they have been hurt at any time. Ii"you wish to buy, ride the horse yourself, for the owner knows the gait that his horse moves best in, and you can tell by the motion ofthe horse, if you are on him, whether there is anything the matter with his travel or not. I could not add more, if I thought necessary.—American Farm "Journal. Use Eagle Bill Corn Husker and Champion and Brown Hog Ringer and Rings. 31-13w Numbers of lambs everywhere die from obstruction and inflammatton of thebc^ els caused by the swallowing o, wool: which, although taken up only in small quantities at a time, get agglutinated and rolled into considerable balls, on which each lock Or thread of wool is rolled until one or two of these foreign bodies block the ortfice opening fram the true stomach into the_bowels, or are lodged in the small insestines, causing spasms and bye- and-bye inflammation which is evidently difficult to relieve. Hair balls of a similar character and producing similar injurious effects occur in calves from their licking themselves and their neighbors, and also occasionally in horses. But the wool which has apparently destroyed your neighbor's and your Own lambs, is not, as you suppose, licked up from the grass. More commonly it is pulled from the udder and belly of the dam by the hungry lamb whilst vigorously seeking ita early food. The obvious remedy, so frequently had recourse to, is trimming away of any wool from the udder and belly of the ewe immediately before or after lambing. To relieve _ the lambs which have already such portions of wool, and which are recognized by dullness, abdominal fullness, and ineffectual diarrhoea, they should have small doses]twice a week of castor-oil and laudanum, which will gently move the bowels, arid will bring away the balls of wool, if they have not become too large to pass along the narrower portions of the canal. A long cold spring, such as we have experienced, increases the mortality from this as from so many other diseases; the weakly lambs are unable to bear up against any untoward condition. The ewes, be- Crop Notes from Dearborn Co., Ind. Guilford, Ind., July 27th. Editors Indiana Farmer:—In your paper of last week there appears, by a correspondent, what is regarded here as a very remarkable article, on the subject of "Splendid crops in South-eastern Indiana." Now,"while it is probably true that there are just such crops as "J. B. Y." represents, I undertake to say that they are the exception and not the rule. I live near the center of Dearborn county, and have had opportunities of obtaining information which will fully warrant me in saying othat the wheat crop in this county will not reach an average by one- half. And what is true of Dearborn, I have good reason to believe, is fjrue of most, if inot all the adjoining counties. It will not do to take a few farms on the Ohio river bottoms, as a criterion by which to judge of the crops of an entire cb'dnty. The hs$ crop in our county cannot be put down'.at more than a half crop, and oats less.'.r.4 " ' ' * Corn ia-iiaw suffering badly from want of rain. If we do riot have a good rain soon, a good:ideal of it, will shoot, and the crop will inevitably be light.

The fifth annual session of the National Agricultural Congress will be held at the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, September 12th to 14th inclusive. The following is the circular announcing the coming session: All agricultural societies, agricultural periodicals, agricultural colleges, boards of agriculture, granges, farmers' clubs, or other organizations whose object is the promotion of agriculture, are invited to send delegates; and all persons desiring to promote the objects for which the Oongress is instituted, are earnestly requested to attend and participate in the deliberations. Believing that the time is come when the agriculture ofthe United States must be studied and considered as a whole and by a comparison of the capabilities' person's. and conditions of widely separated regions, in order to fully understand in what manner the interests of each and all may be best promoted, we appeal to the agriculturalists of every section of the Union, and to all who are working for their welfare, to gather together in this Centennial year of our nation's his tory, and, in the birthplace of American national freedom, to counsel together and to give a new impulse to the agricultural progress of our country. Societies etc, sending delegates are requested to communicate their appointment to the Secretary, at Iowa Agricultural College, Ames Iowa, previous to September 1, and after that time to him at the Belmont Hotel", 41st and Oregon Streets, Philadelphia, where delegates on their arrival are invited to call and report. W. C. Flagg, Pres. G. E. Morrow, Sec'y. The Belmont Hotel, corner of 41st and Oregon Streets, and convenient to the Exhibition grounds, will be headquarters of the Society and the place where its evening meetings will be held.

There were twenty-nine deaths in this city last week. The periodical agitation of the question of building the coal road, is on again. Greencastle is furnishing teachers for schools in many parts of this and other States. The dwelling of Mrs. Wear, of Liberty, was struck by lightning on the 30th, and considerably damaged. Warsaw property owners are agitating the subject of a proposed change in the channel of Tippecanoe river. The hay crop is larger this year than ever before. It is estimated that there is four times as much this year as there was last. The delinquent taxes of Elkhart amount to about $2,500 divided among over 1,000 The works ofthe Trench Coal Company in Parke county, were burned on the 29th ult. Loss $8,000. The corn cror> in Newton caunty will be a great failure. The great rain fall in that section has pretty thoroughly ruined the crop. The list of drownings from bathing this season, is lengthy. A lad named Andy Johnson was drowned on Sunday at Freedom, while bathing. The trustees of Purdue University decided at a recent meeting to erect an additional building, the increasing attendance requiring it. Work will begin as soon as the plans are adopted. Two parties who had gone to the Whortleberry swamps of Starke county, on Friday of last week, to gather berries, got in a dispute, which resulted in the killing of one man and the wounding of two or three others. Warsaw Union: A large quantity of new wheat is coming into town, and we are informed that in quality it is vastly superior to that of last year. The price paid is 90 cents per bushel.

General News. The grasshoppers have been devastating everything in western Minnesota. The Cocheco cotton mills of Dover, N. H., have shut down for thirty days. There is said to be 30,000 laborers of New York city out of employment. Cincinnati is taking down her Exposition buildings to replace them by more substantial structures. It is now generally conceded that the Resumption act will not be repealed this session of Congress. Hay in Illinois. The Central Illinois hay crop is said to be exceptionally large. The supply of No. 1 timothy is so abundant that it is readily contracted for at $5 00 per ton delivered in the barn, which price is $2 00 @5 00 less per ton than the ruling figures for the last five or six years. Clover however suffered greatly by the late rains, rendering it impossible to cure it.—Cincinnati Price Ourent. Congress has by law appropriated a sum sufficient to finish the Washington monument. Boston authorities are enforcing the liquor license law with great vigor. A great deal of liquor has been confiscated for its violation. The fast mail trains are discontinued. And now it appears that they did not amount to much after all. The benefits derived were small compared to the expense. Jacob Nunnemacher, one of the convicted whisky ring of Milwaukee, has been pardoned from prison on paying his $10,000 fine and the ct*sts of the trial. A clerk in the Columbus (Ohio) postoffice was arrested a few days ago for abstracting money from the mails. He had earned on his business at intervals for more than six months. St. Louis is threatened with a coal famine. The miners in Madison and St. Clair counties, Ills., the points from which St. Louis is principally supplied, demand a raise in the price of their labor. The mulatto man at Philadelphia, who knew of Charley Ross' whereabouts, and only wanted the reward preparatory to delivering him to home and friends, has taken his flight. He of course knew nothing of the boy. The Anna Union says: The indications are that the largest crop of corn ever raised in Southern Illinois will be gathered this fall. The damage sustained by the wheat crop is not half so great as was at first anticipated. Ann Eliza Young, 17th wife of Brighain, has had another trial for alimony. The court decides her entitled to $100 per month or $6,300 as a whole, and the costs of the stilt to be paid by Brigham. Colorado having complied with all the conditions imposed by Congress for her admission, has taken her place among the sisterhood of States, Hoo Ringers akd Corn Hi-bkers—Attention is drawn to the advertisement of Chambers & Quinlan, which appears in this issue. They have overcome all the defects incidental to the first introduction of a new article and the Champion Double Ring now stands !n high favor with the farmers. All that is required to make the double rings a success is care and judgment in inserting, as there are no sharp points left in the nose of tbe hog. The superiority claimed for the Brown Single Hog and Pig Rings is that they close on the outside ofthe nose. The Eagle Bill Cora Husker is acknowledged to be a valuable invention. It is a hand husker and will pay for: itself many times over in one day's husking. All first-class dealers keep these goods.
