UTDIANA.
Owes- Co., April 23d.—Wheat is more promising than for ten years past. Abont the average breadth has been sown. The season
thus far has been excellent for farm work,
which is now well along in all departments.
J.W.A.
Wabash Co., April 16th.—Wheat looks fine
since the weather has turned warm. Oats all
sown and farmers are ploughing for corn.
Hogs scarce; many have died with disease of
some kind. Cattle plenty and look well, at
least those that were cared for through the
winter. Wm. Pkabson.
Knox Co., April 20th.—Wheat looks well
We |ire having too much rain at present
Wheat, $1.50; com, 27 cents per bushel. There
is going to be a good crop of cherries and apples in this county. Not many peaches. Potatoes, $1.00. Oats all sown and up. There
will be a large crop of corn put out this siring.
Considerable fine stock in our county. Some
Short-horns in our neighborhood. I am a little boy. Willie R. Chansleb.
Flo.d Co., April 15th.—The beautiful
spring has made its appearance. The singing
of the little birds makes us feel cheerful. The
farmers are all working with earnest desires
to raise large crops; may their efforts not be
in vain. Wheat is looking well with a good
prospect of an abundant harvest. Peaches
are about all killed. Flour is worth from
$7,50 to $8,00 per barrel. More potatoes planted this spring than usual. Apples scarce.
' Georgetown, Ind. L. D. Enqlemak.
Kipley Co., April 20th.—Wheat looking
fine covering the ground in places, and if
nothing prevents will have a full crop. Oats
all sown and coming up. Farmers are preparing for corn.
In the Farmse of the 14th, W. H. S., gives
his method of raising corn. I cannot agree
with him in every respect. After the ground
is well harrowed, I then roll it if the season
permits; drill 16 inches, and as soon as the
corn is up, take double shovel and run as near
the plant as possible. Three or four plough-
ings will ineure a crop. I don't want a harrow of any kind in my field after the corn is
planted. I never tried the check row planter,
but I think I can raise more and better com
by drilling.
.. Will some of the many readers of the Fabmeb, please tell me how to kill warts on cows.
B, W. Tebby.
Dickii-iso*-* Co., April 18th.—Weather fine
with frequent showers. Roads good; everything green. Peach trees in bloom. The
grass hoppers are on the march, moving all
that comes in their path. Farming almost at'
a stand still on their account; would be glad
to work for 50 cents a day, but nothing to do.
Poor man, don't come West now.

Osaqb Co., April 16th.—We are having nice
weather for planting corn; some are through
while others are just commencing. Oats and
barley fields look green and nice. No grasshoppers yet. Com, 27 cents; wheat, $1,25;
hogs 4 cents grossT Is there any remedy for
Black leg in calves ? If there is please give
it and you will greatly oblige a subscriber to

We do not find such a disease as Black leg
in any of our books on cattle diseases, and we

Lucas Co, April 19th.—Not having seen
any notes from this part of Iowa, I send yon
a few. The weather during February was
generally nice for farm work. There was some
spring wheat sown in this part of the country, though not near so much as there generally is. We are having a great deal of wet
weather. Farmers not near done sowing oats.
All kinds of farm work has stopped on account of wet weather. Stock of all kinds
cheap, except stock hogs, they are worth 5} to
6 cents. -Com, 18 to 25 cents; good flour $4,00
per cwt.; potatoes, 90c to $1,00 per bushel; apples, $1,00.   Success to the Fabmeb.

Huntsville, April 15th.—Enclosed find a
stalk of blue grass 21 inches high ard headed
out. How abont early lambs and fat cattle on
such grass at this time of the year? Peaches
mostly killed. Cherries in full bloom. Apples ditto. Corn most all planted and commencing to plant cotton. Wheat knee high
where it was properly put in, which is seldom
done here. Onions, lettuce, greens, radishes,
etc., on the market from the open ground.
Being formerly a Hoosier, I might remark
that immigration is on the increase and prospectors may be seen daily at our hotels. The
Fabmeb furnishes us much news from our
native State. Gio. M, Oviblezsi.
NOTES AND QUERIH S.    ;
To the Editors Indiana Farmer. '
I wish to make a few inquiries through the
columns of your paper. First, Is there a
large poultry establishment in successful operation in this or adjoining States, where
poultry is raised by the thousands, for meat
and eggs? if so what is the breed, or breeds
kept ? Will some poultry man give the above
desired information and all that is needful to
a novice. Such as arrangement of yards, construction of houses, and general management
of the flocks; also, are geese profitable in large
numbers? Goose Quill.
We do not know of any such establishment
as Goose Quill enquires about in this State.
Messrs. Fry & Bagley, of this city, are engaged
somewhat extensively in breeding stock for
sale, and Mr. G. A. Danley, three miles north,
has a large Light Brahma hennery, described
in our Poultry Department in this number. A
cut of Mr. D's. poultry house will be given in
the Fabmeb as soon as an engraving can be
made. For further answer to G. Q's. queries,
we must call upon some Of our readers who
are posted.—Eds.

Supposed to be the work of an incendiary
also.
The former occurred about 9 o'clock p. m ;
the latter an hour or an hour and a half later.

The Castor Oil Bean.
Is the growing of Caster Oil beans profitable
in the West, and do you think they could be
grown successfully in the South? A gentleman here who owns a cotton seed oil mill, has
procured seeds of the castor bean which he is
distributing, and h - offers to buy all the beans
that can he grown in this vicinity at $1,00 per
bushel. What are they worth in your market? Is the crop difficult to gather, and what
would be a fair yield per acre? J. J. S.
Meridian, Miss., April 16th.
But little attention haa been paid to the cultivation of the Castor bean in this state, bnt it
has been successfully grown in Missouri and
Kansas for several years, and is undoubtedly
profitable as the amount produced is constantly increasing. In the report of the State
Board of Agriculture of Kansas, for 1875, we
find an article upon the culture of the Castor
bean in which the writer states his experi-
nients and their results. From the facts atd
figures there given, it appears that with good
Boil and cheap labor the crop is fairly remunerated at $1,00 per bushel. The cultivation is
hot difficult and the gathering, which is the
most laborious part of the work, can be done
mostly by 'children. An average of twenty
bushels per acre is Bald to be a low estimate
for the yield on good soil.—Eos.

Dallas, Texas, April 18, 1877.
Dear Farmer,—Your welcome paper
reached me at this place for the first time
since leaving the "Hoosier State." It was
much like meeting a friend whom you had
been looking for and anxiously expecting.
This is a town of 18,000 or 20,000 inhabitants, a great portion of them from Northern States, lean usually tell Northern settlers from the style of their buildings. This
is the largest town in north Texas.' It has
two lines of railroads, with street cars
and streets lighted with gas, and yet they
are not happy, for the grasshoppers are
reported as being very numerous in the
country west of .this, which has a depressing effect on business of all kinds, but old
.settlers say there is not eo much danger as
new comers would'suppose. All the grain
crops grown in Indiana can be raised here
with a good yield, with the addition of cot- i
ton, which is still "king" in this section.
Corn is now worth fifty cents per bushel,
always sold with the husk on—the weevil,
works in clean husked corn. I see some
nice looking hogs running around the
streets. They show the Poland China breed
very plainly, though pure breds, are not
generally introduced through the country.
The cattle show the marks of primitive
times to great degree. Such horns I well,
most everybody has heard of them, they
will have to be seen to be appreciated.
This can well be called
THE LONG HORNED COUNTRY.
Hides are one article of export, most any
time you can see wagons coming in loaded
down with them, all dried, frcm the country. They bring 14 cents per pound; better prices than would be supposed, being
sq far away from,the head of the market
but so many buyers make extravagant prices. Buffalo skins bring 5 cents per pound.,
and are coming in now in large quantities.
One team of Spanish mules I saw, had on
150 buffalo hides, piled up and tied on,
making a stack equal in bulk to a large
load of hay. They came from Fort Griffin,
two hundred miles west of here. They can
be got there at "six bits a piece." Teamsters get $1.50 cts. per hundred for freighting to this place, and hard earned money
it is. It would be interesting to detail
more of the life of the frontiersman, but it
carries us too far from our subject. The
lands near this place ate called timber, and
and require to be cleared, or grubbed before cultivating. It would take a good
tree to make a railroad tie. This timber
looks very shabby to one raised in central
Indiana. It is not far to .the prairies, and
most of the heavy fa min^ is done on that
kind of land. All kinds of mate: ial are
used for fencing purposes. Pine lumber
fiom eastern Texas is Bhipped from all
points wheethe raihoad entes. Large
bales of wite for fencing is to be seen stacked up along the stteets. All kinds of stock
run at large; the heaviest penalty is attached to "stock stealing." Out of fourteen ci iminals sent to the penitential y
fiom Giayson county this week, the longest term was given to a young man for
stealing a steer, ten years. Another waa
sentenced eight yeats for taking a hoi se.
Either of them could have been clea-ed if
he had shot a man, instead of committing
the offence he did., ■
. Don't think for a moment the;e is no
GOOD SOCIETY
here, there is plenty of it; any one who
wishes can associate with as .good a class
here as any where. Last night there was-
a church festival of the Methodist church,
and it was cariitd on in the most pleasant
manner. "Indianians" were to be found on
every hand, itwasieally an honor to be
intioduced with such "a handle" to your
name, it was sure to bring up some pleasant recollection of the ea-ly settler who-
had come hee fiom our lovely State ant-
cast forth his lot in this sunny south." They
all speak highly of the climate, and nice
country, sociable people and all—but when
you sound them down to the bottom they
long for our gravel walks, solid pikes, clear
running water, good fruit and such
LTJXTJBIES AS CENTRAL INDIANA AFTOEDS.
Not a day passes but there are fresh arrivals of adventurers from the north. Every
State in the Union is represented. Some
became discouraged at once, and make
their way back, reporting terrible things of
this "forsaken" country, as they term it.
Others again finding more money here than
at any other place they have ever been, go
to work at once and think they have found
the loveliest spot on earth. The
medium between these two views would be
a better, description. Any who are dis
posed to help themselves and make the best
of the disadvantages of a new country, can
no doubt do well here.
Wheat now heading looks well, eats and
barley are far advanced, corn is being
plowed, cotton is just being planted. All
speak of the backward season, and cool
weather. Butter is 40 cents per pound,
milk 10 cents per quart, fret-h cows $20,00
to $30,00 each. Good opening for dairy
butsine8s on small scale, but I would not
advise any one to rush into the business
without investigating. T. E. E.
