MISCEI,I,ANE<t>-0S. 171 OR TRADE—I wish to exchange a thorough- JD bred, Southdown Buck, out of S. Meredith A Son's imported stock for one of the same kind but of different strain. S. K FLETCHER. 36-tf STOCK BOTES. F.<3. Hill, of Bourbon county, Ky., has imported from well-known breeders in Canada, a car load of Cotswold and Southdown sheep. - _— , .-mm Messrs. Samuel Aikman & Son, of Dana, Ind., stock breeders, write: "It is our opinion that it pays us better to advertise in the Indiana Farmer than in any other paper." . . The Messrs. Aikman jfc Son, of Danai Ind., have a fine lot of calves in their Shorthorn herd, this season.. The herd is in the finest condition to enter the winter. Mr. J. A. Guilliams, of Putnam county this State, took the grand herd premium on his herd of Chester White hogs at the Itusselville Union Fair this season. His prize sow, Old Dolly Sweepstakes now has a fine litter of pigs, said to be one of the finest in the State. It is the choice of this litter that is offered as a premium to our agents lor the Indiana Farmer in our coming list of 1877. It will be noticed that Messrs. S. Meredith*; Son, Cambridge City, Ind., will sell some fine stock on the 27th, instant. The offering consists of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, all thoroughbred. This will be an opportunity for many of our farmers to get good animals to cross with and improve their common breeds. The ^ reputation of this well-known firm as sbreeders of pure bloods will doubtless Lcommand large attention. When every county and township in this great grazing West is supplied in some • measure with thoroughbred of stock, we shall see the beginning of a degree of prosperity among our farmers which shall astonish even the most sanguine. At present one-fourth of the labor, the grain and the grass is utterly thrown away on common stock. This, is not too high an estimate of the waste, taking the West over, we are sure. These facts well understood, it will be found that the good stock offered in the market to improve with, will be utterly inadequate to the demand. The farmers club, of Elmira, N. Y., holds its second annual stock sale there this week. Ihe object in arranging for semi-annual sales was to promote, by this co-operative method of breeders, the breeding of good stock among farmers of New York generally. Breeders of thoroughbred stock of all kinds take their stock to these sales offering them either without reserve, or fixing the lowest price upon them that they are willing to take. We believe that like sales might be arranged in • Indiana with mutual profit to farmers and stock raisers. Butler Connty Ohio Fair. Considering the hard times, the prices of fine stock of all kinds have been most remarkably sustained this year. The result is due to the fact that there is solid merit in pure blooded stock. When ft farmer can, by crossing his common with pure bloods, g%to the markets with grad; ed stock and reap a very large advance over his former profits, it is an argument for improving stock which is very conclusive. Hence, even in our hard times, the prices on thoroughbred stock of all kinds have been well sustained, and are likely to be,- '. > ■ . Preventive of Hog Cholera * _—_ A hog-grower of Kentucky gives us the following prescription for a preventive of the hog cholera: 2 parts Sulphur. 1 " Antimony. 1 " _ Saltpetre. 1 " Copperas. and a small piece of asafcetida. Keep the mixture in salt in a trough, in a dry place where the hogs can have access to it at all times. It is a good remedy mixed in soft soap when the hogs are taken sick. It will not always cure, but will save some when not too far gone. Since our informant has used this preventive he has lost no hogs. ■ ■» ■ — Fine Sheep. Editors Indiana Farmer.—I bought of S. T. Sturgeon, of Johnson co., one Cotswold buck and two Leicester ewes which have fine superior wool. I weighed eight buck lambs the ninth of this month that averaged 92 lbs. They were lambed between the 8th of March and the 20th of April, they were weaned the first of August. I also weighed four ewe lambs that average 107$ lbs, the largest one of the ewe lambs weighing 130 lbs. These were lambed the middle of March, the other three between the 15th, of March and 15th of April. They are all a cross of the Lincolnshire and Cotswold. I weighed a yearling ewe of the same breed that weighed 170 lbs. We are having fine showers for seeding wheat. We have plenty of ague and fever, corn plenty and hogs scarce and dying with cholera. L. L. Kelso. Ireland, Ind. To the Editors Indiana Farmer:—The Butler County Ohio Fair held at Hamilton last week was a success in Agricultural Machinery, and Stock disylay, and the attendance on Thursday was upwards of fifteen thousand. This Fair like county fairs in some other states almost equaled the State Fair in point of display and attendance and the display of Poland China hogs excels the display at any fair in the West. One hundred" and seventy-five hogs were entered—being about forty more than last year. Many persons from all parte ofthe West attend the fair to see the display of stock, and many hogs are sold and shipped to all parts of the county. Several stock exhibitors were from Warren, Hamilton and Montgomery counties and their hogs carried away a good share of the premiums. A large display of machinery-was made by manufacturers of the Miami Valley and among them was a newly invented Grain Drill, combining a Grain Drill, Cultivator and Marker all in one, exhibited by Joseph KY Symmers of Hamilton Ohio. premiums awarded Cattle, Shorthorns.—Best Bull over 3 years old; first, Pollock Wilson; second Wm.

Editors Indiana Farmer.—Allow me space in your valuable paper to say that I paid Emanuel Smith, of Hancock Co., a visit a few days ago in part to see his herd of Poland Chinas. He has a very fine herd, of which Black Bess stands *at the head. She is two years old, tips the scales at 550 lbs., and is a perfect model. She has been exhibited at seven fairs, and won ten premiums, including sweepstakes. She has a great many others that are hard to beat, and has exhibited a few specimens this fall at three fairs, viz: Greenfield, Knightetown and Shelbyville, and won seventeen premiums. The amount received on premiums is $80,50. I am glad we hove such a successful breeder and exhibitor in Hancock county and I hope that many others will follow his example, till Hancock will be second to no county in the state in breeding fine Poland Chinas.

The Premium Essay will appear in Vol. II. of the American Berkshire Record now in course <rf^-reparation. •Secretarf Amerioan Berkshire Association.. Springfield, 111. ■ m ■ Fastidious Judges of Stock. The sale, consisting of sixty-six females and seventeen males, comprises one of the richest and most attractive offerings of high-bred Bhort-horns that have ever come under the hammer in Kentucky, The sixty-six head of cows and heifers are descended from the most celebrated animals Imported to America. The post of honor in the catalogue is assigned to Tube Rose, of Fairview, by Salamander 5795, out of Tube Rose 7th, by Marmiod 2262, one of the best Princesses to be found—a descendant in the second generation from the pure Princess cow Tube Rose 3rd. Her sire Salamander is a Dake topped Princess, and Mar- mion a Date topped Beasley, Jr., both noted sires, and she being very forward in calf to 17th Duke of Airdrie, cannot fail to elicit numerous admirers, and command a high figure. Her yearling heifer calf, 2nd Tube Rose, of Fairview, by 13th Duke of Airdrie, is an extra good thing, and will attract much attention at the sale. The next are two Knightly Maids, lineally descended from Sir Charley Knightley's sale in 1856. From Gold Cream descended Lady Knightley and her two daughters that made $12,100 at the New York Mills Sale in 1873. Then there is another lot—4th, 5th and 6th Knightley Dutchesses, perhaps the finest Knightleys to be found in England or America. These are the descendants of Mrs. Flath- ers, who was bred by Sir Charles Knightley, and Sired by a Princeas bull. Taking this as the Knightley standard, (and the breeding has been the same, except the ont cross of the pure Duchess bulls 2d Grand Dake, 6th Dake of Thorndale and 13tb Duke of Airdrie,) the rest of the crosses are the same as made by Sir C. Knightly. , Cypress Duchess, a Gem, comes next, topped with four Duke crosses; 4th Duke of Geneva, 10th Dake of Thorndale, Lord Mayorot Oxford, amH)nke of Gloster, running to imp. Cypress, the dam of Climax, the sire of Lady Mary 2d, that sold for $5,600. Bloom, by Salamander 5795, out of Blossom by Lord "Mayor of Oxford 3895, represents the imp. Bloom femily. . ..Imp. Roan Duchess has three representatives in thelBlr ftd and 4th Senora of Fair- view, and White Duchess, a very rare and highly valued family. The three are Duke and Princess topped, and descend from Idle Girl, bred by the late R. A. Alexander, a grand daughter of imp. Roan Duchess. Idle Girl's name was changed to Senora of Fairview. One of the heifers of this family, the only one of this branch, sold at Col. Holloway's sale in May last for $$,250, and they are thought by many to be on-eof the very best tribes of shorthorns. There are three representatives of imp. Ma- •zurka; Maxurka Dtxchess, by Rosy Duke, son of Baroness 5770, out of 2d Mazurka of Fair- view by 4th Duke of Geneva 1750, and Mazurka of Fairview, by 2d Dake of Geneva 814, <jut of Mazurka 13th by Duke of Airdrie 171. These Mazurkas are topped up with, and in calf to Duke buUs, and cannot fail to oom- •mand buyers. This tribe has been increasing in popularity, one of whom sold for over $4,000 within the last year. Then follows a Gaily, one Peri, a Lady Chesterford, three Serajpmnas, a Cragg, a Jes- see, four Maid Marions, three Hop.es, four Auroras, three Cambria or Rosemarys, two Young Marys, a Rosamond, four Harriotts, a Jane, two Young Phyllises, two Agathas, two Belles, five Dairymaids, three Fomonas, two Mrs. Mottes, ai»6 two Roses. All these families have a capital lot of representatives, the^-etof Bake, Oxford and Rose of Sharon igrees, and second to none in the country for individual excellence. The sale will be held at the farm of Mr. Alex. McClintock, a half mile from Millersburg. Ky., on the Maysville it Lexington railroad. Special trains on day of sale from Paris and Maysville, conveyances from depot to sale free. Terms cash or font momiths time, negotiable note, with 8 per cent, interest. Catalogues may be obtained by addressing Ayres <fe McClintock, Millersburg, Ky., or this office.—[Livestock Record. Thelemark Cattle. About black noses in shorthorns, a feature-the desirability of which no breeder ■will-contend for, while others will object to it iKiore or less strenuously, there has been some disagreement among the Highland-Society of Scotland. At the dinner of .the Society after their recent show,Mr. •Cochrane, of little Haddie, whose Shorthorns did not get a prize because of the stain on their noses, said: "I have been a successful competitor, but I must say frankly not so successful as I would have liked. And I trust, Mr. Chairman, you will bear with me iff make first a single remark on one point. In the Shorthorn class in which I exhibited the judges took upon them to throw out the cattle that had mottled noses. I believe I am right in saying that that was never done before; and I do not know for what reason the judges have done it.- One can understand the'Objection to a black nose; but it is the fact, sir, that you will find slight spots on the noses of animals ofthe very highest breeding. (Hear, hear). I repeat that this course has never been taken before since I began to be a breeder and exhibitor, now twenty-five years ago. However, we are always learning something; and if the thing is decided to be correct it ought of course to be done, and in that case I will bow to the decision of the judges. As I say, we are learning every day, and this is a lesson read to us northern breeders that we did not know before, and which, I trust, we shall benefit by."—Canada Farmer. The English Agricultural Gazette gives portraits of two individuals of a small but excellent milking breed of Norway cattle, with explanatory foot notes, which we give below: "The Thelemark race is one of the few constant races of cattle, perhaps the only one, which Norway possesses, lt is a well-defined mountain race, which, as its name denotes, has its home in Thelemark, and is found purest in the upper districts, Siljord, Hvideseid, <fcc. "The animal is small. Full grown cows rarely attain a greater weight than CC0 lbs. to 770 lbs,; but it must be remarked that they increase considerably in size when put on better food than usual, particularly if this takes place at an early srge, "The Thelemark breed is peculiarly a milking breed. On the royal farm at Ladegaardscenthe best milking cows have been of this race for the last three years, although animals of various breeds have been kept, and some rather large ones of 1,000 pounds, living weight and upwards. The stock has, therefore, in the course of the last few years been changed almost exclusively to Thelemark cattle. Thus the cow, 'Kisoie' milked in 1868, 646J gallons, in I860, 720 gallons, 1870, 089} gallons, or on an average of three years C85 j gallons, with a living weight of about 700 lbs. English weight, that is nearly 0 lbs. of milk for each 1 lb. living weight annually, aresultwhich bears comparison with the best foreign milking breeds. Usually the Thelemark cows do not milk highly immediately after calving, seldom more than 3} gallons daily, but they maintain the yield evenly, and do not remain long dry. It is also not usual that newly purchased give so rich ayield atfirat as afterwards; but yet we have instances of cows which have given above 3,000 pots (i>3Z gallons) in the first year. However, such, instances do not justify tbenotionthat so- high a yield is according to rule ampng; newly-purchased Thelemark cows;, it is- naturally only in the case of exceptionally fine animals. Usually we must be weB satisfied when a cow weighing 660 lbs. to 770 lbs, gives 425 gallons to 530- gallons of, milk on regular good food. . s m . NEWS OF THE WEEK. State Ktwi, There art also two grand imported cows in the Jist—'imp. Dignity, by Juvenile 5352, (son of -2d J)nke of Thorndale, and Junta, by imp. Dake of Gloster,) out of Daice, by Jacques 5328, and imp. Lady of Lyne, by Watchman 2d-*978,>(son of W-atchman (25107) and Passion Flower by Cardigan (12536), dam Wild P°Ppyi by Dake of Lyne 5047. TJiere are two splendid cows, and are the dams of prize winners, Dignity's sucking ball calf winndog first prize at the recent Bourbon Fair-at 'Paris last month. The.crowded state of our columns preclude a more extended notice of the different families represented in this rich offering, and we must close by calling attention to the most prominent of the bails of the catalogue. First on the list comes the Rose of Sharon bull .2d Cambridge Rose Dake 3841, red, by 14th Duke of Geneva, out of Nora Belle 2d, by AirdrieSd 646. This bull was bred by Mr. A. Reniek, and out of what many consider the gem of his herd, Nora Belle 2d. Her son is a worthy representative, and <l:>es her and tne Roses of Sharon no discredit. Mazurka Duke, red, by 13th Duke of Airdrie out of Mazurka of Fairview, is a splendid yonng specimen of this rising and popular family. The Mazurka balls have proved to be among the best sires, and we can safely predict a like place for this youngster. Knightley Dake, red, by 13th Dake of Airdrie 800, out ofthe 4th Knightley Duchess, by Rosy Duke's Son of Baroness 5770, is a descendant of Mrs. Flatters, of whom we spoke above. A friend writing of this young bull says "that he predicts for him a bright future in the show ring," and also says that "he knows a breeder in England who breeds Knightleys, and that he should have this calf as he ij to-day the purest of hia kind living and the only one in this herd." Dignity's Star, the son of imp. Dignity is a prize winner, as was his sire and grand »ire. He is a splendid bred calf, containing Duchess, J., Cambridge Rose, and a small fraction of Booth blood. There is one young bull each from the Roan Duchess and Cold Cream families, both good ones, while the rest are from the families named above, the get of either Dake, Oxford or Rose of Sharon sires. The herd to be appreciated must be seen, as the animals are of the very highest order of ped- H. R. Cole, a student of Asbury University, Greencastle, from Mt.
