OHIO SWINE BEKEDEE8.Y ; The-rwine breeders of Ohio have agreed to meet at .Coiumbus, Ohio, '^on the; 4th day of January,- for the purpose of^organ- izing a permanent association in this interest. The meeting takes place the day ^aiierthat'oftheStateBoard of Agriculture. Ohio numbers some of the most distinguished swine breeders in the country, and this movement for association is one that may well enlist the hearty cooperation of all. Such associations can but be greatly beneficial in the development not only -of the interest* in good Sff breeds, bat,.possibly may have; to; take g* the lead in investigations into the pre- and fatal swine diseases. It will bring'the breeders and best observers tor gether, where an interchange of experience may reveal both the cause«Snd the remedies. There are many and obvious benefits to be derived in association. In- drod, almost every interest now has an organization, and this co-operative effort is winning everywhere. • » * « ; . Stock Sales.—Mr. Wm. Baker, of North Madison, Ind., has this fall sold forty-five fine Poland China pigs to parties in Jefferson, Jennings, Bartholomew and Switzerland counties this State, -and to stock men in ths States of Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi. He has also sold a large number of Light and Dark Brahmas, and Partridge and Buff.Coohin .fowls, in pairs and trios, Elsewhere he offers a fine Poland China pig to go on our premium list, for which we thank him. Sheep Question in Bartholomew Connty, Indiana. Editors Indiana Farmer.—In your issue you requested farmers to inform you in regard to the amount of dog tax, sheep killed, etc. I cannot give you the exact figures, but as ours is a hog county, and not many sheep kept, there is a surplus of money. Still the number of sheep slaughtered by worthless curs is awful. I think the present dog law will do.if the assessors do their duty, and see that every dog is taxed. And I would say make the trustee find out if possible whose dog killed the sheep, and collect the value of the same from him. r Inclosed find two samples of wool; one is from a six month's lamb of Col Norman of Kentucky.' The other is from a Spanish buck of my own; wool of a years' growth,:,- . v • John McClell4nd. vYBartholomew county, Ind., Nov. 17th. --*>.. - -' ■ , * ;*.';.*,-y . » • ■ j-, ^Editors YIndiana Farmer.—X received "tn"e?i^"6n^6nP'usr-*'1SxJ:r26, 'from* '£. & Stanton, of Southport, in due time last summer, and wish to say that I am well pleased with him and can recommend Mr. Stanton as a good breeder. J[ wrote you to this effect in Mky last, but for Borne reason the letter did not appear in your paper. C. M. Bridgford. Clinton county, Iud. — 1 j» ■ Pine Sheep and Wool. Editors Indiana Farmer.—I read your paper with interest, and especially the stock notes. But I must confess that I am a little surprised at friend S. R. Quiet offering as a premium a lamb from a ram weighing 2,500 pounds at 2 years old. As he only sheared 16} pounds of wool, I should like to know if his wool was not rather thin on his carcass. I shall try for that premium. Perhaps the typesetter: can explain. Nixon Henley. ' Monrovia, Ind. y Our friend guessed the explanation. The printers added one cypher too many. In the above letter Mr. Henley encloses a most beautiful sample of wool from a: Cotswold lamb, bred by him from imported stook. In view of such splendid samples of wool, we do not wonder that our farmers breathe death to sheep-killing dogs, so destructive of our valuable fine sheep.—Editors. . » m . ■ Red 'Jersey Pigs.—This breed is much talked about in Kentucky. In answer to some inquiry made by the Kentucky Home Journal a correspondent writes to it from Salem, New Jersey:—I believe these hogs originated in this locality, where they have been the leading breed of swine for the past twenty-five or thirty years, some of our breeders, in the meantime, having tried first one and then another ofthe newer breeds,—such as Berkshires, Essex, Sussex, Chester White, Poland Chinas, Yorkshires, etc.—only tore- turn to the Beds, after finding by experiment that they were better adapted to the wants of the general feeder than any of the newer varieties they had experience with. They are very hardy, great feeders, and remarkable breeders; fatten readily at any age, yet, with time, attaining great weights. They have been fed as high aa 1,300, and quite frequently attaining 1,000. I fed one four months two years ago which weighed at twenty-one months old.845 pounds, and was pronounced the finest hog ever shown by the hundreds, who visited it while exhibited in the city of Philadelphia. ' ■ • ; y„v _-• ..' 1 ■ m— . ———— -y i Editors Indiana Farmer.—For the purpose pf increasing the circulation of the Indiana Farmer, we offer as a premium to one of your successful agents, one of Our Merino buck lambs, or if the agent prefer, a Berkshire or Poland-china male pig from one. of. our best sows. Our stock is al} first^clags. We have' recently sold toMri Harvey Sodowsky, Indianola, 111., ten head of Merino ewes at $25 per head; also to same gentleman, our breeding Berkshire boar, Heber Humphrey, for $300. T. Wilhoit & Sos. Middletown, Ind. , The Sheep and Dog Question in Kosci- long afa one mile wide. Its rivers are .n»ko County. Warsaw, Ind , Nov. 18th. In accordance with the request ofthe Indiana Farmer of the 4th inst., I send you a statement of number of dogs and sheep returned by the assessors of Kosciusko county, for 1875, with the amouat of tax collected, and the amount paid for sheep killed by dogs, for the same year. - ' By this statement the number of dogs is shown to be 2,184, and the number of sheep, 18,170, or. a little less than eight and a third sheep to each dog in the county." The amount 01* tax collected is $1,997; the amount.paid for sheep killed, was*$1,031.81; and, the amount paid to the school fund, $825:98. One township (Lake7 Jas enly 214 sheep and 122 dogs. The tax collected in that township was $109.45; and the amount.paid for sheep killed, $12451. Which is the most profitable to raise in that township, dogs or sheep? I leave it to the owners to decide. You will see by the statement that several of the townships have paid more for damages to sheep than the tax collected amounted to. KOSCIUSKO COUNTY BY TOWNSHIPS.

Ind., Nov. 27th. To the Editors of Indiana Farmer : Believing, as I do, that every farmer ought to take at least one agricultural paper, and having good reasons for believing the Indiana Farmer is the best and cheapest paper for the money, therefore, in order to increase its circulation, I offer to the agent that will get up the largest club for Jefferson county, Indiana, a No. 1 Poland China boar pig, to be delivered about the 20th of May next, the pig to be from one of the following named sows: Lady Bess, or Besie Jewell. These two sows are out of a niece of Shepard & Alexander's famous "Black Bess;" or "Mary, Queen of Butler," a prize winner of Butler county, Ohio; or " Lady Perfection," sired by James Mustard's hog, "Perfection," Lady Black Beauty, or any other sow I haw. These sows are bred to the following boars: Ben Butler, Jr., Major Jewell or Young Sweepstake. These boars are all number one, and second to none. It will pay an agent to work for this pig, for it will be a good one. . Respectfully yours, William Baker. LETTER FE0M LAKE C0TJJTTY. Crown Point, Nov. 22,1876. .crown point. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: This is the county seat and a smart town of some 2,500 people. They have an old wooden Court House which looks like a church. The county offices are in small bricks. Like most of the towns up north, they have board sidewalks, while the streets are made of native mud—sand and gravel being too expensive as yet, for modern improvements. The town, however, is a pretty place, but behind in school buildings, church and county edifices. There ar^ a number of fine business houses and a very large county trade. They have three newspapers and an intelligent citizenship.' ■" :: ■ .•; :'>;,-•-" north west. *-■*■.'.•, -Lake is the northwest county of the State..'-,' The waters of Lake Michigan wash its northern shores and the creeping, everlasting, waters of the Kankakee mark its southern boundary. The county is full of lakes, of which Lake George ia the largest—l**"*"**-*some three miles Calumet, Deep river, and Kankakee. Much of the county is level and the land swampy, which makes it look cold and dreary,;-like the wild paths of the far west prairies. county population. The population of the county in 1870, was 12,829. Many of the farms are small, yet they are rich in soil, and where they are well tilled, are finely productive. Corn arid grass are the main products. Wheat only comes well when raised under deep snows through the winter. . land monopolies. A. N^ Hart who is a resident at Dyer, but doing business in Chicago, owns 15,- 000 acres, valued at $500,000. Dorsey & Cline, who are now residents own 12,000. C. M. Forsyth 8,000. G. W. Cass 10,000. J. B. Niles 1,800; Dr. Hittle 1,200, and D. C. Scofield 1,000. J. W. Dinwiddle, of Orchaid-'Grove lays claim to 3,500, and W. A. Clark, of Lowell, to 1,320 acres. Ten families own one-sixth of the lands of the county. The value of the real estate Of the county is estimated at $10,- 000,000,.* Eighty-five thousand acres of land in the hands of six or seven men is enough to stultify the progress of settlement and agriculture in any county. These parties should sell out to actual cultivators if they desire the prosperity of the county. Until this'is done Lake will linger in the shades of her development. , \ i - ■ GERMAN POPUri. riON. Many of the citizens of thia county are of German origin. They are in many instances full handed and well fixed to live, because they are industrious, economical and intelligent as well. Their farms look well, and quite a number of them have large stocks of cat*?.. which they feed for the Chicago lUWAois. '•"■-» "in tlie hands of such diligent cultivators of the soil as these Germans are, these regions of cold and dismal, fl >t and swampy lands would soon be garden spots of wealth and health and life. The coming years, no doubt will verify what we here say, and the county will double its actual wealth by the change. school hou^e. The 'progreesive intelligence of the county is well indicated by the number of its school houses, of which they have eighty-four. With a good class of teachers, eight school edifices in a township, will in a few years work an intellectual revolution in any county. It is doing this here, as we trust it is also in every every other county in the state—hense, we may hope for a healthy advance in the general knowledge of our people in science and agriculture as well- as in the virtues of the age. lake county agricultural society. This society was organized in 1851 and gave at its first Fair, $93.00 in premiums, which at that time was thought to be liberal. The next year they only gave $61.75. Regular Fairs were held until 1860, when they were suspended until 1867, Their Fair organization is now in good shape and each year is adding to its interest and prosperity. LAKE COUNTY HISTORY. In 1872 the Rev. T. H. Balls published a history of this county, the best we have seen of any county in the State. It is rich in incidents, general in facts and thorough in every point of the county's history. The eitizens of this county owe him a large debt of gratitude. railroad. There are five railroads running thro' this county, all centering in Chicago. One becomes confused in their routes as well as in their termini. None of them are better managed than our Peru, whieh has been so long under the Presidential management of Judge Macy, of your city. THE INDIANA FARMER. The farmers of this county read as a State organ your Indiana Farmer. These who have seen it like it much, and with a little labor its circulation might be run into the hundreds. It is what they should have if they wish to know and profit by the agricultural and stock progress of the age. Jefferson. THE FARM. Postal Card Correspondence. We desire to have this department of The Farmer made as interesting and profitable as possible, and for this purp*ise suggest that it be used, in part, as a question drawer.
