of increasing the amount of dog tax.
Mr. F. McKeever. of Huntington, Ind.,
duriDg the past year sold 350 head of
hogs, and since March last fifty head of
breeding hogs. The latter were nearly
all sold in the Wabaeh Valley. He bas
also sold seven head of Short-horns for

this winter.
James Mustard, of Broad Ripple, this

Mr. Mustard intends to give to our agent
will be sired by Springfield. Its dam will
be Prairie Flower, a sow that took the

Mr. F. A. Knowles, of Oakland, Gibson county, Ind., writes us that he has
found a cure and preventive of hog cholera, in a mineral water on a lot on his

well of the cholera. He sayB he still
waters bis hogs out of this spring, and
they keep well and hearty; that two gallons per head, every thirty or eixty days,
will prevent cholera and keep them
healthy, with good feed.

To the Editors Indiana Farmer:
Please tell your inquiring .friend, W.

hogs is from a snow white to almost a jet

with whito spots. The most fashionable
color amo-og breeders is tho dark.

Sheep and Dogs.
The business of raising fine sheep is rapidly on the increase in this county, and
many would engage in the business of wool
growing were it not for the ravages of
the doga on the sheep. The question of
protection to sheep husbandry is being
considerably discussed in this part of the
State; and, m the Legislature will meet
in a few days, I hope to call their attention to this subject, for I think it of great
importance to the agricultural interest of
the country. I will therefore give you
a statement of the number of sheep killed
by dogs in each township in this county,
and their appraised value, as I havo collected it from the official repor'g,or _';' p
several township trustees,"* for the ■/tat
ending October, 1876, which is as follows:

To the Editors of Indiana Farmer :
In response to the inquiry about this
breed of hogs, I wish to say that I waB a

Stock Law.
To ths Editors Indiana Farmer:
I see many writing about the dog law
and road law. That is all right. What
about the stock law? Will we have a herd
law, or a prohibition law, to protect ourselves from the annoyance and loss by
Bcrub stock running at large? The farmers that want to improve their stock,
annoyed by scrub stock of all kinds,
would like to have tbe .law eo arranged
as to fine any one for the first offence,—
say from five dollars upwards, and double
for each additional offence, or give any
man the right to shut up any male of tbe
scrub stock, and the owner to pay from
five dollars up to ten or twenty, for the
annoyance and damage for the first
offence, and double for each' additional
offence. What say you brother farmers?
fiend in your petitions at the beginning
of the session. -   ■
,' We must have Bome law to protect our-
"selves, or unite ourselves against1 dogs
and scrub stocks; but would much prefer a good law for the protection of the
whole community.    ,    .
The scrub stock men wduld be more
benefited by such a law than any other
part of the community. Then they
would quit feeding scrub stock, and profit
thereby. There is no man in Indiana
that can afford to feed scrub stock of any
kind. I' venture to say that there is
enough feed wasted on such stock in Indiana to pay ohe-balf the taxes of the
State; that is, if all the feed was fed to tho
best improved breeds of stock of all
kinds, tbe net proceeds would be equal to
one-half the tax. Is that not worth saving, then? .'     I. J.
Wabash county,' Ind,'...-'..
Total.....    640   12001.95
This shows an actual loss to the county
of 640 head of sheep, the appraised value
of which is $2,0f>4 95, for which there is
no return; and not only no return but
worse than nothing, for we have at least
2,000 dogs to feed which return no profit
whatever, each, one caliog os-much.n't. a
pig or sheep, and some of them kept by
families that are partly supported by the
county. The people are taxed to support the dogs which, in turn, kill their
sheep, and thus rob the county of a vast
amount of wealth. If there was a sheep
raised for each dog in the county, and
added to the number of sheep killed, it
would add to the number of sheep 2,640
head, which, at the appraised value of
those killed, would add to the wealth of
the farmers and to the tax duplicate
$7,527.20 each year. The friend of the
dogs will say the owners of sheep need
not complain, as they get paid for their
sheep, which is not the fact in all cases,
for some Of the toweships are behind,
and not able to pay.
This calculation is for a single county.
There are .ninety-two -bounties in the
State. Suppose the average number
killed in each to be 500; the whole number for the State would be 40,000, the appraised value of which would be $148,-
580. Then, suppose the average number
of dogs for each county in the State to
be 1,500, and the dogs were all killed,
and a sheep raised for each, it would add
to the number of sheep in the State
138,000, worth at the appraised value the
sum of $445,740. Tin's added to the number of dogs killed in tht§ State, and we
have 184,000 head of sheep* more in the
State each year than we have now, worth
$594,220. "■' -     '
These facts and figures show the result
of the sheep and dog raising. And yet
some men think more of a dog than
they do of sheep—more of dog hair than
of wool, and more of dog meat than of
mutton. This is a subject worthy the attention of our legislators, and I hope they
will not fail to consider it. A. J.

My observation ia that hogs hav* suffered
most from cholera where they were permitted
to tun to all kinds of filth. I believe that
when we all take care that onr hogs are kept
clean, and fed with wholesome food they will

we raise a great many hogs. R. C.

this appeared in an instance or two, but not
so fatally or extensively. Some have doubted the danger of this poiscn, but the present

We have had beautiful weather mot t of the
time except some cold snaps, which the oldest
inhabitants say is cold two or three weeks
earlier than usual, although eighteen or twenty degrees warmer than reports from Indiana.
Wheat, reseeded after the locusts had eaten
the first crcp, late as November 1st, was green
before the cold set in and stopped the growth.
Corn, seventy-five bushels per acre, some
places would average about fifty. Sells from
20 to 25 cents. Hogs, doing well, scarce, sells
for 5 cents gross. Settlers and land-hunters
coming yet. County improving fast for a new

the railroad towns alone. The farming country and district schools are well supplied with

Editors of Indiana Farmer: ■'..
I notice among the many valuable premiums offered for obtaining subscribers
to the Fabmeb, tbat James A. Guilliams,
of Fincastle, Ind., offers a fine Chester
White pig. This once popular breed is
again coming into favor. Many who
abandoned it some years ago, are now
returning to it as superior to all ethers. _
. I would say to the agents competing
for this prize, tbat it is well worth a vigorous canvas, as J can attest that Mr. G.
has some fine specimens of this famous
stock, I bought a sow pig from his pens
last summer, which does not require the
long pedigree of the Berkshire, as Mr.
Todd jokingly remarks, to recommend
it. The longer I keep it, the better I like
it. It is now far ahead of nhy.Berkshire,
of its age; in the county.

Many farmers of this part of Kentucky have
successfully renewed their blue grasslands,
becoming exhausted, by a surface application
of well rotted an d pulverized stable and barn
yard manure. My own pasture in this connty
has been made to produce grass equal to any
it ever did before. The manure may be spread
daring the winter months, and .the spring
rains and melting snows carry it down to the
grass roots which are nourished. It pays to
treat pasture in this way. L. 8. B.

The hog disease has raged to some considerable extent in localities in this county. Fat
hogs worth now $5.50, and most of the hogs
have been sold for $5.00 to $5.25. Some farmers have lost most of their hogs. Corn about
an average crop, and good in quality, worth
now 37 cents. Apples very plenty. Wheat,
worth $1 25, and a light crop; but little sown
this season, and where it waa sown early, it
looks well. Oats, a light crop in quality,
worth 25 cents. We have thus far had a very
regular winter, not very much snow, but the
ground covered most of the time with snow.
I have taken the Fabmeb the last year and am
well pleased with it. J. B. A.
Champaign Connty— Dec. 27th.
The experience I ha ve had in sowing clover
seed during the past few years, leads me to
favor sowing on the snow in February or
March. I have nearly always had good success this way. The seed get into the ground
shallow, and it is so moist that the soil clings
to the seed, and spring moisture and sunshine
quickly germinate the seed. I sow from a
peck to a peck and a half per acre, accordirg
to the strength of the soil.

For frosted feet and treatment; take of flax
seed one handful, hogs lard two table spoonsful, break the seed a little and then simmer
over a fire, and let it boil a long time; then
strain. Now when it gets nearly cold, add the
yolk of an egg, and then stir to a salve. It
will cure frosted feet. When your feet are
well, go into the woods and gtt a lot of oak

I have seen here to me, a new kind of
fence, which a neighbor says has been in use
for several years, and it is certainly a cheap
and good plan of a fence. The fence is posts
and four rails. The posts are put three feet
in to the ground, and twelve feet four inches
apart, and the rails are bolted on with machine made bolts, which are cheap. This
gives a rod of fence with four rails, whereas
fourteen are required in the old way. • Good
posts will last many years, and the fence is
straight and nice to work about.
