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.

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.

Fine Hogs in Hancock Connty.
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.

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,

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.

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.
