An English co-operative company has purchased the old Oaidale Furnace, in Roane,
Tenn, together with 50,C00 acres of land, a
large portion surrounding the works, and
others lying in theadjoiningcountiesof Scott,
Morgan and Cumberland, on which it is proposed to h cate large colonies, both from England and the Northeastern States, to carry on
mining, manufacturing and farming operations on a very extensive scale.
STOCK NOTES.
Mr. John .Bates, of Fayette county, this
State, is ofiering the.service of his fine
Shorthorn,Captain Napier, bred by Messrs.
S. Meredith & Son, of Cambridge City. He
is said to be a very fine animal ia every
respect. ,
The circular of Jersey cattle, for sale
this season by Messrs. J. P..Luse &.Son,
proprietors of Bound Grove Stock Farm,
Montmorency, Ind., has been received.
The list includes ten cows and heifers and
four bulls. The circular also gives a list
of eight cattle sold during the past summer.
AMONG THE SHORT-HORNS.
In a recent visit to Vermillion county,
this State, I made it in my way to call on
my old friends, Samuel Aikman <fc Son,
of Dana. They have been breeding
Short-hom cattle for a number of years
and have now about fifty-two head.
When near a herd of this kind, I could
not but stop, if it was but for a short
time. I arrived at Levi Aikman's about
eleven o'clock, and found him in readiness to show the herd and talk Shorthorns from all practical standpoints. We
first made a hasty look over the females,
and I was somewhat surprised to see so
many large, strait and really fleshy, not
to say fat cows and heifers in one lot, all
good, first-rate—no poor ones among
them. In looking over them, individually, and learning the age of the young
cows and heifers;-1 -was imprcsned with
their great size. There were . about a
dozen, two and three-year olci heifers,
nearly all red, that would weigh from
twelve to sixteen hundred pounds each,
all having the same characteristics, up-
headed, straight, level, smooth, thick,
and in gocd flesh. Dinner being over, we
went to the barn to see the male part of
the herd.   •
"lone star" 14,743
being led out, I could readily account for
the great size and uniform appearance of
so many of the females. There is no
question of his being an impressive sire.
Seldom do we find a bull of so much size
coupled with so many good points and
uniform smoothness. He stands well on
his limbs and feet, considering his flesh
—though not over fat—and great weight
of about 2,600 pOnnds. His color is
deep red, with only the "lone star" in the
face. He was sired by "5th Duke of
Geneva" 7932. Other good bulls appear
down in the pedigree until we reach the
imported cow, Rosabella 2nd, by Velocipede (2796). All the young things in
the herd were sired by "Lone Star,
Some of the older cows are now in calf
to him.
3646 "gallant duke"
was then led out and stands superier to
almost any other bull in America. He
is fine-boned, on short legs, has neat head
and horns with extra good style and carries a large amount of fine flesh. He
was bred by Hall & Taylor, of Paris, Ky.,
and was used two seasons in the Crescent
Hill herd at Plainfield in this State.
The Messers. Aikman were very lucky
in obtaining him. He is-just the animal
to cross on to the "Lone Star" heifers.
Twenty-five of the females are now in
calf to the Gallant Duke. I saw six nice*
growthy young bulls, just now old enough
for service, all of the Lone Star pattern
and all sired by him except one. One of
those bulls, called 6th Dake of Vermillion is worthy of special men tion. He is
a deep red, without any white, and with
full feed would make an extra good show
bull.' These six young bulls are now
ready for good service, and are able to
sire at least fifty calves each in the course
of next year. Their calves, on an average,
would be worth at least $15 more each,
at three years old, than those sired by
the common class of low grade bulls,
generally in U3e. Grangers talk about
co-operation I Is there any kind of business in which they can work together
more,profitably than in the purchase
and use of first class Short-horn bulls?
One or two would answer the wants of
any ordinary grange.
On making a second visit to the females
in pasture, my first impressions were
again renewed—great size and uniform
shape. In selecting and breeding, the
proprietors must have had a pattern in
view. There are no less than ten difljsr-
ent families of cows represented in the
herd, and yet they all look alike, with
the exception of two or three families.
Lady Bootb, sired by Imp. Baron Booth,
of Lancaster, 7535 and out of Lady Shef-
fielder 4th, running down to Red Rose,
by Ernesty 10,017, though a good cow
and an excellent milker, is much below
the general average for size and general
growthy appearance.
pride,
a red cow seven years old, bred by W.
B. Dodge, of Waukegan, 111., is among
the most valuable. She was sired by the
pure Bates bull, the Sth Duke of Airdrie
6627, out of Coquette 2nd, by another
pure Bates bull, Chicago, Duke 3753, and
she out of the celebrated, imported sow,
Coquette, by Economist 11,425. Lady Bis-
mark is a fine, red cow, with gocd milking
qualities, sired by imp. Bismark 13,498,
and out of Pride above. Another of the
same family is 2pd Lady Lone Star, sired
by Lone Star 14J43. She is stylish, with
excellent broad, straight top and of great
size.
4th gem, t
bred by Harvey Sodowsky, of Indianola.
111., is a red cow, eight years old, of wonderful size and feeding quality. She is
not coarse, yet will fatten easily to two
thousand pounds. She carries a great
amount of good flesh, laid on very evenly.
There are no less than eight or nine of
this family.
LADY BOLWAY,
an eight year old roan cow, bred by
George Garbut, Canada, and sired by
imp. Baron Solway 6432, out of Ruby
2nd, by 3rd duke of Cambridge, 13,901,
2nd dam. Imported Ruby, by Buston
(11,229) is very attractive on account of
her rich color, great size, broad loin and
back, full crops and general good finish.
KATE WELLS
is a red cow of fine size and general good
appearance, with great depth of fore-
quarter and large projecting brisket,
with a straight, broad, top loin. She was
sired by Laudable 5870; he, by imported
Duke of Airdrie (12,730) out of imp. L'z-
zie, by Marquis of Carrabas (11,789). Her
pedigree is choice, being made up of
good sires all the way down to imp.
Adelaide, by Magnum Bonum (2243).
The females from Kate Wells, sired by
Lone Star, are good enough to fill a place
in any herd.
The last family of females I shall notice,
though not least in value, are descended
from the imported cow, Ruby, by Young
Sir Dimple (971) running up through
Nannie Williams, by Sir Alfred 969.
Duchess of Athol, by imp. 2ad Duke of
Athol (11,376) to 8rd Duchess of Nineveh,
by the grand old sire Washington Turley
6287. There are no less than ten females
of this family—all good ones. Of this
family, the 3rd Duchess of Dana, a red,
four year old, by Rantipole 8896, and the
5th Duchess of Dana, a three year old
roan, by Lone Star, are both good show
cows, of excellent constitution.
The proprietors never feed for show
purposes, but depend nearly entirely on
grass for the support of the herd, and
never feed grain in summer time, except
to such males as have to be stabled. They
do not breed their heifers at as young an
age as some other breeders do, and claim
that by so doing they obtain more size
and better constitution. They aim to
breed their heifers so that they will come
in at about three years old. There will
be dropped on the farm within the next
year, over thirty calves. Unless kept in
check by a good many private sales, the
herd will soon be quite large, and breeders may anticipate a public sale sooner
or later of the Prarie Farm Herd. C. R.

Care of Farm Stock.
Improvement in Stock.

To the Editors Indiana Farnier:
Your valuable paper is a regular visitor
to our place, and we think it is doing its
part in the way of improvement of stock
and also gives many good ideas on farming. I have sold forty-five pigs this season and mostly, if not all of them, to readers of your paper, and have a fine lot yet
of Poland Chinas of both sexes.

never done better than now.
James Mustard.
To follow the business of fanning without properly caring for the various kinds
of stock, is sure to result in a loss that no
fanner can bear without greatly injuring
his interests. Indeed, so improfitable ha3
it proved, that multitudes of farmers—
honest men—might easily trace their present poor condition to this very cause
rnore than to any thing else. Live stock
is an important part of a farmer's capital,
and all capital is invested with a view of
realizing a profit over the first cost of
whatever is purchased when it is sold. If
this is not true, then why do people buy
anything that it is their intention to
again offer for sale ?
If money invested in live stock fails to
return any profit to tbe purchaser after
keeping it a year or eighteen months, supposing prices remain firm and unchanged,
the Investment proves a bad one. Even
considering that it brings back the purchase money when it is sold, a great
many seem to think that no money is lost;
but in our estimation there is a big loss.
There is the interest on the money for the
time, the value of the food consumed, and
then the time and trouble of taking care
of the stock, for which nothing would be
received. Taken all together their could
be no small loss. But how a loss could be
sustained is what is wanted to be found
out, as it is supposed that during the time
the stock was held and up to the date that
it is sold, there is no visible change in prices. There can be no other conclusion
arrived at but that there was bad management in the care of stock and it did not
iroproVe, and therefore could not inert ase
in Vfilue^. .,.„ _, „ s;;;._w^,. -::.,.
It is an absurd idea for any farmer in
this enlightened age, to think that farm
stock can be carelessly handled, half fed,
and allowed to run all winter without
shelter from storms of snow, or cold rains,
and yet make a satisfactory growth. Stock
of any kind requires an abundance of food,
if it is expected to make a rapid growth,
and the more care thero is taken in rendering it comfortable in all that pertains to
its health and thriftiness, the faster will
be its growth.
When farm stock dies in consequence of
insufficient feed and for want of shelter, as it sometimes does during winter,
those who are the losers are too much inclined to attribute the loss to "bad luck,"
but in such cases it is bad management
that is the cause of the loss; for if the necessary care that is Required to keep it
healthy and growing had been taken, there
would have been no loss, as is easy to be
seen. Just here it is proper to say that
bad luck is charged with much more than
it is really guilty of.
No man can expect to thrive as a farmer
unless he gives strict attention to the care
of his stock, and at the same time treats it
kindly and gently. Animals soon learn
who are their friends ahd who are not. Let
an ill-tempered man who whips and fights
his horses upon the slightest ground, and
perhaps when there is no necessity for it,
enter the stable, and there is a general uneasiness manifested among them for fear
of receiving blows, or kicks, or other rough
treatment from him. They are timid and
shy, and retreat to the farthest end of the
building upon his entrance. This is not
the case with the good horse master. Instead of fearing and trying to keep as far
away from him as possible, they welcome
lum by signs and looks, and even approach
hlnv when he enters the stable. The same
thing is noticeable in the cow stables when
the milkers enter, and among all kinds of
domestic animals good treatment is duly
appreciated, as everyone has certainly noticed who has had the care and feeding of
farm stock.
Seeing then that it is the particular care
that a farmer should take of his stock, that
helpsmore than any thing else to assist in
securing him a fair profit for his outlay
and trouble, it behopves every one interested in the business/and who wishes to
make money in his operations as a stock
raiser and feeder, to see that he does it,
and that too, in a manner well worthy of
pattern. ' ***

The  Haas  Remedy—It Cares Some
times.
Inflammatory Fever in Cattle.
Mr. W. F. K., in his article in the Indiana Faemer of the 10th inst,, seeks
a cure for inflammatory fever (blackleg)
in cattle, and also to know whether it is
infectious or not. In answer I will say
that it is considered infectious by a majority ofthe Veterinary profession of Europe,
but it seems to be so only among high-
conditioned, highly fed, plethoric cattle;
those in low condition being partially free
from it except by infection. The above
theory, however, causes a few of the faculty to be a little skeptical about its being
infectious. I will here quote one case
that confirms my belief in its infectious
influence: A milk cow, the property of
my father, was noticed with all the symptoms, which cannot be mistaken. She
was in moderate condition, and was the
third case in the herd, the other two in
high flesh had died before being noticed by
the herdsman to be sick. I undertook the
treatment, although being then only seventeen years of age. I had one of the hands
hold her by the horns while another drew
the sound leg forward. I bled the diseased limb with fleams, from the large
vein on the inside above the hock joint. I
allowed the blood to flow until she showed
symptoms of weakness. I then drenched
her with the remedy given in my work
on stock, page 50, second part, viz., tartar
emetic, 60 grains; tincture of digitalis, one
ounce; omitting the latter after the first
dose, and continuing the former until the
pulse was reduced. In ten hours after I
bled from the jugular vein, or (vein ofthe
neck). I have cured many in the incipient stages of the disease, while the symptoms are lameness, and hurried breathing,
with a stretching forward of the head and
neck; but after the shoulder, or thigh, and
loins swell with a crackling sound, when
rubbed with the hand, the chances are
very meager.
It would be impossible to fully explain
the disease in a-newspaper article, as it occupies over two full pages in my work,
Navin's Explanatory Stock Doctor, which
every farmer should have at hand to con
suit. My advice would be to remove the
sound beasts from the sick, not the sick
from the already infested pasture or stalls,
for I consider the disease infectious in its
Last stage and eminently so after death.

Did you raise a good crop of wheat ?
Was your orchard a success ? Have you
a fine corn crop ? Do you grow oats, rye
or barley 1 Have you sold your stock prof
itably? The evenings are long; sharpen
your lead pencil and put down your facts,
your experiments and the results, in a
plain common sense way, as you would
talk it over to us if we were stopping to
break bread with you. Every farmer de
velops every year some valuable points in
farm economy and crops, or care and mar
keting of stock. This is a farmers' club,
in which every man interested has a right
to talk and ask for information as well as
to give it. You are welcome, whether you
think as the editor does, or not; the pages
of the Farmer are not after the manner
of a close corporation, they are broad-
gauged and liberal enough to carry differing views. We do not endorse every writer's ideas, put forth in the Farmer, nor
do we ask for those who contribute to be
of our thinking; all we ask while acting
as President protem, of this big meeting is
that speakers confine themselves to their
subject, and treat courteously those who
differ from them. The hour for general
discussion has arrived. The chair desires
to state that one of the rules of the club is
that members who wish to be recognized
bythe chair must give their name when
rising to speak to any question. What is
the wish of the meeting ?
So says the Kansas Farmer, and so say
we, only adding the request that speakers
will please limit them selves to three minutes. '     •
The Way they Weigh.^
To the Editors Indiana Farmer:
I have been systematically robbed for
some time, and, having after considerable
trouble, managed to ascertain the means
whereby I could protect myself, as I am
determined to use my utmost endeavors to
protect my brother farmers. I have been
hauling potatoes to the market and selling
principally to shippers. I found that my
potatoes would fall short, and noticed that
was generally paid above the market
price. The potatoes were weighed, and
to all appearances everything seemed honest. Instead of sending my man I came
with the load myself, and drove upon the
city scales and had hardly taken my stand
in market, when I was accosted by a scalper, or runner, and offered a handsome price
for my' potatoes. I drove where I was
told, but on the way he informed me that
we had better weigh,them. I was on the
point of telling him that I had weighed
them, but on second thought concluded to
refrain from saying anything. The wagon
was driven onto the scales, and to my astonishment a discrepancy of seven bushels
was shown between the city scales and the
private ones. Here was a solution to tha
mystery. I declined accepting that which
was tendered me and drove ofl. My brother farmers can protect themselves by weighing on the city scales.
No matter by whom the private scales
are owned, you will, in a majority of cases,
find that they are manipulated in the interest of the buyer.   James H. Austin-.

Good Crop report from Summit Grange,
Benton County.
To the Editors Indiana Farmer:
Will you please publish'the following
crop report of Summit Grange, in Benton
county, for the year 1877? The report was
made out the 2nd day of October, and is
as follows in round numbers:
Whole number of acres of corn raised,
990; average per acre 34 bushels. Acres
in wheat, 19; average per acre 10 bushels.
Acres in oats 99; average per acre 45 bushels. Acres in rye, 20; average per acre 14
bushel?. Acres in meadow, 149; total tons
of hay 212. Acres in potatoes, 6 J ; average per acre, 110 bushels. Acres in pasture 262. Number ol horses, 66; mules,
11; fat cattle, 31; stock cattle, 119; fat
hogs, 383; stock hogs, 372; dogs, 19 ; bushels of apples, 171; acres of wheat sown this
fall, 10J;
Number of members reporting, 16. Some
of the members have lost heavily by hog
cholera this season. Stock generally is in
good condition. The members are manifesting some interest in the improvement
of stock, especially hogs. Many of the
farms show that better cultivation is needed, and that more attention should be
given to the fertility of the soil.
Fair was the day that we visited the
brothers, and we found most of them at
work on their farms, endeavoring, as all
true patrons should, to earn their bread
by the sweat of their faces. We may safely say that so far as success and general
prosperity are concerned, there is a better
feeling existing among the members of our
grange, than existed at this time last year.
And while we hope to continue to grow
in prosperity, and to become more wise
and useful as farmers, we feel, and with
pleasure acknowledge that the Indiana
Farmer has been closely identified with
our every advancement and our every success.   May its power for good never grow
less.

To the Editors Indiana Farmer: '    .
I see some do not speak very favorable
of Dr. Haas remedies. Let me tell you of
our success. We had. two shoat3 taken
sick with vomiting and loss of appetite. I
could not discover any other symptoms.
Two doses Of the medicine stoped the vomiting and restored their appetite. A few
days since a very large sow was taken in
the same way, and after I gave two doses
all symptoms ceased. The pigs, about
seven weeks old took the scours, and a few
doses of the remedy cured them. I do not
