MRS. ROHRER: Sear Madam,—I have been
afflicted with Asthma, since a ihild, and forthe past
four years have suffered a great deal, every morning, as regular as the morning came; at about 3 or 4
o clock, 1 would have a smothering or coughing
spell; at Umes I did not fee how I could live one
hour. I tried every medicine I could hear of and
had four promineiit physicians of the city attend
me without receiving auy permanent benefit. I
heard of your great Oregon Cure and commenced
using it. I have now tat en six bottles and am entirely relieved of those coughing and smotherir,g
spalls, and I believe five or six bottles more will
affect a permanent cure, and I heartily recommend

IKDIANA.
Spencek Co., Sept. 15.—The crops in this
county are good. Wheat turned out much
better than expected. Mable.
Rockport.
Cabs Co., Sept. 24.—Weather flne. Corn out
of the way of frost, and a large crop. Wheat
all sown and ruott of it np, and looking fine;
a much larger acreage pnt out than utual.
Some hog disease in this county. O.
Daviess Co., Sept. 22.—We had a very wet
spring, but notwithstanding this drawback we
have an average crop of wheat and corn. The
largest crop of apples and peaches I ever saw.
Wheat nearly all sown.   No hog cholera.
A Subscbibeb. ,
Grant Co , Sept. 19.—Wheat a large crop;
averaging from 15 to 25 bushels; some midge.
About twe-thirds crop of corn. Oats good.
Flax a good crop. Our hay crop was a large
one and harvested in good order. As to hogs,
an average crop. Farmers are feeding early on
account of cholera; none in the neighborhood
yet. M. Pullet.
Floyd Co., Sept. 11.—Farmers are in great
hopes of raising a large wheat crcp again next
season and they are all working to that end.
The White Amber wheat is the variety mostly sown in this neighborhood. Mr. Frank
Ott of this neighborhood, threshed 760 bushels
of wheat and 300 bushels of oats this season,
making a total of 1060 bushels.
T. D. JEJnglemah.   .
Jay Co., 8epC_2.—We have cool nights, hot
days and plenty of rain; good weather for
ague. Corn a little more than half crop.
Wheat all threshed and yielded well, and is of
good quality. Apples and pears scarce.
Peaches scarcer than hens teeth. The Fabmeb
has been one mail behind time for two numbers back which makes us lonesome. Good
luck to the Faemeb. Sol. Smith.
Howabd Co., Sept. _4.—A larger acreage of
wheat sown than for the last four years and it
looks well. Corn drying out nicely. Some
hog cholera oyer the county. I have lost
some thirty five head. One of my neighbors
tried Dr. Haas' remedy with success, but-.it
did my hegs but little good. I have had but
one hog to get well. J. J. Stewart was here
on the 22d to lecture to the Patrons of Husbandry, but as the meeting had been announced for night, and Bro. St-Jwart had to go home
that day, we received no lecture.
H. AfUBPHY.
Fulton Co., Sept. 18.—Old Fulton is alive
and up with the average. The wheat crop is
threshing out fully up to expectation; the
yield runs from 15 to 30 bushels to the acre.
Oats were very good; corn tolerably good.
Potatoes will be an average crop, the bugs having injured them to some extent. Farmers
are in the midst of seeding, a large acreage
will he sown this year. Hogs are plenty and
no cholera; cattle scarce. We hail the Fabmeb
with a hearty welcome every week; may it
live long and ever' prosper.
J. E. Tboutman.
Jeffebson Co., Sept. 20.—Season good for
seeding; more than an average quantity of
wheat sown, most of it up and growing finely.
A large amount of bonedust used in the county. Corn on good ground is generally good,
on fiat thin land, a light crop. Too much wet
in the early part of the season for flat land.
Lat* potatoes promise well. Sorghum, of
which a large amount is raised, is agood crop.
Taking the season through we think the farmers have much reason to be thankful.
Grangers are still alive and working. Wheat
$1,10 per bushel; corn, 46 centa.        0. L. T.
Owen Co., Sept. 24.—Having just-retnmed
from a tour through the east, north and west
parts of Clay county will say: I-am much
pleased with the abundant prospects of the
farmers generally. Wheat, oats and grass,
have yielded an abundant harvest. Corn is
heavy and maturing nicely. Farmers are becoming awakened to the important subject of
early seeding and drilling and are adopting it
pretty extensively. There is a large acreage
sown and it looks unusually well. Hogs
scarce, no cholera.   Fruit a failure.
B. W. S. Vandament.
Miami Co., Sept. 24.—Farmers are all done
seeding, and there is a very large breadth of
wheat sown this fall. Wheat yielded a little
rising of 31 bushels per acre, a very large
yield. It is mainly of the Fultz variety. Corn
along the river is out of danger of frost, butin
danger of frost on upland. Oats never was
better. Potatoes, excellent. Gov. Williams
attended our county fair. Wheat ia selling
at $1,15 to $1,18; corn 40 cents; oats 20 cents;
potatoes 20 cents; clover seed, $5,00. Clover is
yielding pretty well. I will do all I can to circulate the Indiana Fabmeb, for it is worth
working for. Jacob Sayokb.
Habbison Co., Sept. 17.—Crops of all kind
are v&y good. We have a considerable supply of fruit.   There  will be a large crop of

wheat put in this fall. We have learned to
nse the drill and bone dust; although the bone
dust is about played out, because the mills
cannot furnish it as fast as the farmers want
it. W. F. Cromwell.
Anotheb.—Sept. 17.—The farmers here are
looking up and preparing to sow more wheat
than usual. The mEJority have their ground
prepared, but will not sow until the latter
part of this month, for this reason, that for
the last few years early sowed seed has not
done well. Nearly all will use more or less
bone dust or phosphate as a fertilizer. j-Tbcj*
yield of the present season has been from 25
to 50 per cent, more than in any year since
1856. I would ady* * farmers not to sell their
wheat at present rf ..less necessity forces
you to do so, for ' v- i is every indication of
an advance in wheat. A. Z.
Corydon, Ind.
Washington Co , Sept. 19.—I will say to A.
C. Harvey, of Lafayette, that I did not ask
him to peddle out his wheat at market prices
after going to the expense of advertising. I
would not consider that paying him for his
trouble, nor did I ask hin_ to eend me one dollars worth of his new pure kind of seed wheat
for fifty cents. There was no Fultz or Clawson wheat raised in this part of the country
that I know of. A few farmers near Salem
raised the Fnltz; it did well for them. I got
ten bushels which I will .try. There will be
more wheat sowed here this fall than has been
for several years; mest everybody is going to
use bone dust, but there is not enough to supply the demand. Corn is late, some will be
frost bitten unless we have a late fall. Hogs
are still dying; I thought I was done with it,
but it has broke out new again; hogs will be
scarce in this part of the country. Potatoes
are in abundance, both sweet and Irish.
Wm. A. Abmsteono.
Fredricksburg, Ind.
Anotheb.—Sept. 13.—I hope to be able to
send you a larger list of subscribers than I ever
have yet sent you. There seems to be an
awakening among the farmers to a more systematic and scientific mode of farming than
heretofore, A great deal of care is taken this
fall in the selection of seed wheat and thorough preparation of the soil, before sowing,
and we may confidentially expect a great increase in the wheat crop next year to the acreage; and a larger breadth haa been sown than
for several years past. Our com crop is very
heavy. A large porticn of the .hogs have died
with cholera and still are dying hy the scores.
Jonesboro, Ind. J. M. Ellis.
KENTUCKY.
Warben Co., Sept. 18.—Wheat' crop- above
the average. Hay very good. Corn excellent,
best crop we have had for years. Tobacco
splendid. A fair crop of fruit. Stock in good
demand, and selling at fair prices. Business
improving. Jas. McMcbey.
MISSOURI.
Coopeb Co., Sept. 20.—The corn crop will be

The apple crop is a large one here. Plenty of
hogs and no disease among them.
Geo. W. Moban.
NEBRASKA.
Nemaha Co., Sept. 19.—Our corn crop will

A.O. Convbbsb.
OREGON.
Mabion Co., Sept. 10.—Our harvest is progressing finely. Wheat is a good yield and
very plump. Oats very good; corn we don't
raise. All other crops, such as potatoes, etc.,
promise well; small and large fruit in abundance.   Wheat is worth $1, per bushel.
Chas.F. Eoqibt.
TENNESSEE.
WiLiiAMsro-T, Sept. 18.—There has been

4i cents gross; many dying with cholera. Cotton not opening well, prospect rather bad.

The weather is, and has been very fine for all
kinds of work and crops. No grasshoppers,
no insects, no beating storms, no tornadoes, to
injure maturing or growing crops. Apples
and peaches abundant at from 40 to 50 cents
per bushel. Corn 23 to 25 cents; oats 15 to 18
cents. Wheat $1, to $1,10. Stock ready sale
at good prices. Times generally good; Emigration pouring into the State from all quarters. G. I. Mcsheb.

10 tlie Ediiors Indiana Farmer:
In giving report of the hog crop of 1876-77,
your total is 12,558,696 for 1877, and 18 502,184
for 1876, a mistake of 8,000,000 too many for
'76.   Am I correct? O. Holleb.
You are correct in regard to the footing for

If a farmer has but one daughter, and when
she gets old enough to do her mother's work,
say sixteen, she begins a slight courtship,
should it be "nippedin the bud?"      C. T.
A farmer's one daughter has as good a right
to receive the attention of a worthy young
man aa a farmers six daughters would have to
a like privilege from as many suitors. Sixteen
however, is rather too soon to think of matrimony. The chances ai e that she will be better

Sam Jones' Idea ofa Good Fair.
Edinbukg, Sept. 24, 1877.
To the Editors Indiana Farmer:
We had two nice fairs here at Edinburg
and Columbus. There were lota of line
cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, and big cabbages, beets, etc. But the best part ot
the whole thing was the side shows, shooting galleries; fortune wheels, and lots of
other chance games that I don't know the
names of. I tried my luck at five places,
and some of the boys tried all of them, i
won at two games but I lost at the other
three. I lost about one dollar and a-half,
but some of the lellosvs lost three or four
dollars. It was fun though, anyhow, if
we did lose. I don t think you ought to
run dotfn these things because there
■wouldn't be any fun without them. A
fellow couldn't do anything but walk
around and look at the cattie, and he
couldn't spend his money for anything but
peanuts and candy, and then some of the
boys made a little money oil'of those showmen. Besides if you didn t hav e any horse-
racing or anything of the kind the boys
wouldn't go to your fairs anyhow.

The Hadlian Springs.
To the Editors of Indiana Farmer:
An article sometime since in the Herald,
of your city, on the "Indiana Springs," reminds me of those on the larm ot S-Samut I
Hadley, Lear Monrovia,  Morgan county.
It was in June, 1873, I believe, that I
saw those spring8) a half dozen or so, (others
had closed up through neglect, 1 was told,)
situated in or near the bed of of a small
stream which ran thiough a beautiful
woodland. '-Ihe surrounding country was
a'.so beautiful
The water of one of the springs was as
good as I had ever tasted; iar^e amounts
could be drank without any unpleasant
effect. Another furnished emetic water,
others sulphur, iron, etc. There were no
arrangements for patients, perhaps, a little bath house on one side of the stream.
Any person was priviledged to use the*
waters free of charge.
A relative, who showed me the springs,
said that at times so many persons had assembled there on Sabbath days as to present the appearance of a camp meeting.
Many diseases, he said, had been cured by
the waters of some of the springs. Whether a full analysis of the waters had ever
been made I did not learn. F. M. I.
Can't Do Without It.
Lafayette, Sept. 24,1877.
To the Editors Indiana Farmer:
I sent you the names of some subscribers
last winter and one of them says "dog
on the paper, I can't do without it.
Please send me some sample copies, and if
I can get my neighbors to subscribe for
three months, I know they will say "dog
on the paper I can't do without it."'
Yours, ,        r-iLA8 Steely.

it will prevent co-sumption. <58-2t
