What Causes Hog Choleral Editors Indiana Farmer : Brother farmers,—I say "Brother farmers," because I hare a little farm oyer here in Montgomery county and try to farm a little because I love the business. But I am a praotcal .mechanic, raised so from my eai liest recollection, and having been taught that people with two ears and one tongue should hear twice as much as they say, I haye been trying to profit by the reading of others. Having been a constant reader of the Farmer for nearly three years I hope you will bear with me if I attempt to say a little, not in the way of experience but as a suggestion, for I have not found out by all my reading who has the experience. What I wish to say is concerning THE DISEASE OF THE HOO, ITS PROBABLE CAUSE AND REMEDY. First, to forcibly illustrate this matter in short; if a community of farmers were to plant and raise corn, gather and ship it out ofthe country for a successive number of years, they would impoverish their land to such an extent that corn would not grow, no matter what quality or grade of seed they planted and for such an unwise course they would invite and justly receive the condemnation of every public journal in the land. Now, how is it about the crop of hogs annually grown ond shipped to Indianapolis, Louisville and Chicago, from my own neighborhood. Others ship to other cities I know not where, neither do I know the amount or quality of the substance shipped away, but in my ignorance I argue that if you can impoverish your farm and unfit it for raising grain without supplying the necessary substance to keep up and produce that grain, why not do so by continually shipping the hog? If any one has found this to be a fact, why haa he not cautioned us through the Farmer of the trouble we were running into? Or why has he not told us that if we expect to follow up the business of raising and shipping hogs successfully, that we must supply our farms with the material necessary to the growth and well being of the hog, even if we have to ship from other sources. I feel confident that my farm has not the proper salts of lime in sufficient quantities to produce the bone structure of 50 hogs a year, still I can raise corn enough to easily fatten that number and I think many of my neighbors have some difficulty. Now how can this salts of lime be supplied with success? I think if a good chemist was brought to our aid, we might probably banish cholera, or at least so far remove the cause that the effects would be light. I should like to have an adult hog that was adjudged perfectly healthy, analyzed, also another that had died with the cholera and., the results carefully compared and see what the healthy one had that was lacking in the other; also a portion of the soil where the hog was raised, and a portion of the soil where the cholera hog was grown and see what one soil had that the other had not.^ I believe we would find much variation, hence the different features of the disease. No matter what form it assumes we want to know the cause, and then we could find a remedy. Some ofour people believe cholera to be cont.gcous; I do not; for how is it that some farms have it while all the adjoining ones are free ? I think that some cf tte constituents that go to make up a good hog are lacking, or nave been exhausted on those farms. Now if the trouble was with my boiler, engine, saw mill, planer or other machinery, I could tell considerable about it and go to work and remedy the defect, but you already know I am no farmer by my talk. Farmers let us hear from you. Fraternally Yours, L. J. Cohoon. Hog Cholera. Tothe Editors Indiana Farmer: Prompted by a desire to do good to my fellow-men, I accompanied Dr. Haas on a tour among the farmers of tho northern part of this county, for the purpose of introducing his medicines and making some observations in regard to the cause of the so called hog cholera. In no instance where hogs had #been well cared for, did we find cholera among them; but in every instance where we found disease among them we found them in a filthy condition, such aa sleeping in manure piles, stable-lots and open sheds, among manure and dry, rotten and filthy dust. Sometimes in rotten straw stacks, and small, filthy pens, with wet rotten straw for bedding, with their lots small and mud belly deep. Now, I fear that men so careless as to allow this kind of treatment to their stock will not give the medicine a fair chance; hence I will write this note to warn all who use any remedy to give it a fair and impartial trial; follow the directions to a letter, and then report results to the inventor of the medicine, and give him a chance to try hia own hand, and if he fails, warn the public of the results. I think it a duty every man owes to bis country, to try to find the cause of this malady and seek a remedy. I hope to be able, in a short time, to report some good results from the use of the Doctor's medicine. Wish* ing the Indiana Farmer success, I remain as ever yours, Jacob Kennedy. L'zton, Hendricks Co. .— s ■» s The Heavy Draft Hone. To ths Editors Indiana Farmer: I feel like criticising an article by J. R. Robinson in last week's Farmer. The subject is a very important one to farmers. The general purpose hoKe, or, "the horse for all purposes" We must use a good strong thoroughbred horse to mares, weighing twelve to fourteen hundred pounds. Then we have a horse that will (stand any and all kinds of work, but still I doubt if it is possible to raise a horse that will make twelve miles an hour with a ton of weight, or nearly so. Such a sight was never seen. All horsemen know that any horse that can pull close to a ton can not go twelve miles an hour. If they have such horses in France, I venture to say that not one of that class has ever been imported here, and I have seen hundreds of this breed, from New York to the far West. J. B. B. states that he never saw but one pure Norman horse in Indiana. We have had at our State fair Norman horses, imported by Dillon & Co., Illinois, one of the most noted companies in America. How strange they never had apure bred Norman, when they have been importing for the last fifteen or twenty years. I think J. B. can be informed where he can see as many as fifty head which are all claimed to be pure Normans, and I venture to say many of them are as fine specimens as the New Jersey specimen he refers to. I never heard of the two States, New Jersey and New York being noted for Normans or any other breed of draft horses. I always undc rstood that the farmers of those two States devoted their attention to light fast stock. One thing I do know, no eastern trader ever attempts to select many heavy horses, such as a Norman ought to breed, till he gets to Western Pennsylvania, and Western Pennsylvatia supplies Eastern Pennsylvania. ' With both, heavy draft and general purposes. I will endeavor to give a description of the breeds offered in J. R. R's article: First, the Norman. The average Ncr- man is a horse with good style and large hind quarters, as J. R. Btates, low back, lacking of middle drooping rump, as a rule, altogether too light' bone for their body, more especially when crossed with our fine bones mares, and the cross as a ru.e naturally is a soft brute that can't stand a real hard day's work. The English horse is a big heavy horse with immense bone, and leaves his mark every time in the first cross of that most important point that a draft horse ought to have, that is strong bone. He is probably not very nice about the head and neck; in fact, clumsy, sp'en- did back and rib, heavy quarters, and in my opinion, far ahead of the Norman for raising high priced draft horses. Then comes the Clydesdale, J. B. says they are light in their quarters, and look like they were on stilts. Some of them he says are eighteen inches high. I never saw one of that height or one that looked the least like he was on stilts; quite the contrary they are short legged, strong boned, clean flat bone at that, springy, active movers, and model forms, as have been proved the last few yeara by their success in the show ring, beating the Normans from Pennsylvania to Illinois. I have been all through Western Pennsylvania and I. never heard of a single Norman gaining a piize since the English draft and Clydesdale were introduced. In Ohio .the Clydesdale has gained first prize several years at the State fair; also every year but one for the last four years they have carried away the ribbon at the State fair at Indianapolis. In Illinois also, till last year, when they were debarred from competing. In conclusion I would advise your readers, if their object is to raise a general purpose hor.e, not to use any of the three breeds mentioned above, but if they want to raise a draft colt that will make money for them, use the Clydesdale stallion. They have been imported to many foreign countries and have taken the lead wherever they have been. No breed of horses in the world can compare with the Clydesdale in strength of limb—all horsemen know this that have seen them. Justice. Dec 10,1877. Stock Breeding. From a paper read by Dr. G. Sprague at the International meeting of breeders, recently held in Lexington, Ky., these excellent suggestions afe segregated: "A large proportion of the farmers of the West are growers of grain for shipment, but they have long ceased to advocate this practice as either easy or profitable. He is a progressive farmer who seeks to improve his farm stock, whether his aim be to grow animals for their flesh or for use in the dairy. Both interests are getting to be enormous, and with a steadily increasing growing population they will continue to grow. No one need have any fear of a retrogt ade movement. This cannot take place, because n en will not eat less food, nor food of poorer quality than now. Rather, the public taste grows more fastidious as the world grows older, and epicures become more numerous and exacting. This, the fruit and vegetable grower, the butcher, the baker, and all others who cater to man's tastes, are every day finding out. This information reaches the farmer and he is acting upon it, because he stands backoftho:e who stand next the consumer, and he kLOWS the d flerence between having a visit from a customer anxious to buy at a gcod price and one who buys your indifferent pioduct vdth reluctance at his own price, and buys it only because he cannot supply his wants with something better at a higher rate. The laws of existence require that we put forth vig, rous and well-directed efforts to obtain food. This hfr requires to be met in hard times as we.I as in good, and whether the times be good or bad, necessary articles of food and raiment must be produced. * * * All their exactions take the mind directly to the fountain head, viz., your breeding yard, and the rules which apply to the fine woods used in mechanical work, to the precious stones and to the display of mechanical taste in utilizing these apply to your thoroughbred cattle. You bre«d for symmetry because. this pleases the eye, thereby gratifying a becoming taste, while at the same time it insures a lessening in the amount of offal and an increase in the volume ofthe best cuts. So all the points of perfection now recgnized will continue to De standard requirements while the world stands, and breeding animals will continue to command high prices in proportion to their fine breeding and perfect symmetry." sos Sheep Growing—Cost and Profit. South Whitley, Ind., Nov. 29, '77. Tb the Editors Indiana Farmer: I send you a few items showing the advantage of raising sheep. I bought twenty- eight Iambs and thirteen old sheep last January, paying $75'for them., February 22,1 bought forty-two head more, paying $122.70 for these. I fed $50 worth of feed to them. Shearire*, cost' $4.50; pasture, $60; interest for eight months, $17; making total cost of $328.70. The wool off of these at twenty six cents per pound amounted to $107 90. Isold forty-nine sheep at $3.50 per hundred, amounting to $159,24; twenty seven lambs for $75; four sheep for $9. Total receipts $425.89; profi-s, $97,19. The majority of farmers could keep twenty or twenty-five sheep and scarce'y notice the feed they eat. Farmers, try the experiment. The weather never has been more disagreeable in this section than this fall. Corn is an average crop in this county and is mostly cribbed. N. H. S S» s — Valuable Invention for Horsemen. The inventor and proprietor of the celebrated speed accelerators for trotting horses is a dry goods merchant of Brownstown, Indiana, of ihe name of WilburC. Benton. Like Bonner, he conceived the idea that driving would be conducive to his health, and the result was that ''holding the ribbons" over quick-steppers not only cured him, effectually, of the rheumatism, with which he had been afflicted for years, but it led to the discovery of an art or device by means of which the speed of the trotter is at once greatly accelerated without the use of toe-weights cr heavy shoes, great incumbrances to the he rse, contracting his hoofs and stiffening his limbs. The accelerators give him the proper action for speed without injury to him. It is but the work of a moment to attach them to the bit and rein in such a manner as to steady him, give him an even, lengthy stride, prevent him form hurting and cutting nimself while speeding, thus doing away with the various kinds of boots and appendages for the protection of the limbs, which so materially retard his speed, to say nothing of their excessive cost and inconvenience. The accelerators sell for five dollars per pair. s ssj s It will pay farmers, in the winter, when they have nothing else to do, to take the wagon and go into the woods and haul leaves and put them upon the worn-out places in their fields. Next to manure, straw and forest leavea are the best to bring up exhausted lands. If we expect our farms to feed us we must feed them. Recollect that we will never have any new land given to us, and hence we Bhould take mighty good care of what we have got.—Ex. WASHINGTON LETTER. The extra session ha<*.been quietly merged into the regular sestion of Congress. The first Monday.of November has heretofore been a day of much political interest, and the opening of Congress the occasion for an overcrowded capitol. But this has seemed- to be a day of less than ordinary interest. I was surprised to find the galleries of the House and Senate not more than two thirds full. The reading of the President's Message is a monotonous formality. In the House the clerk reads in a voice distinct and commensurate in volume with the area of the room, and the turbulence of noisy members that has to be overcome, while in the smaller Senate chamber, and to the better-behaved Senators, the reader does not find it necessary to raise his voice above" a conversational toLe. Neither Senators nor members pay much attention to the reading of the message, but employ the time in writing, reading newspapers, or, perhaps, in looking over those parts cf the message that are of special interest to them. After the reading had been concluded, both Houses adjourned, the Senate for two days. It needs rest, for its arduous vigils over the Butler and Kellogg cases have impaired its energy if not its s'amina. Not every man can endure to Bit up "o' nights" and brea'.he furnace air. The experiment killed Senator Bogy, and has sapped or impaired the health of many others. It was not exciting debate or consuming passions engendered in political strife that sent Conkling across the Atlantic in search of health,' and have given Blaine and Lamar their sallow, wearied appearance, and heavy, inelaslio step, more than the infernal (I use the word in its etymological sense, the air comes from the furnaces below) devitalized atmos- j phere which they are compelled to breathe, and which no one can inhale without injury to health. Now that the regular session has commenced, and the fashionable season is opening, it may be of interest to the many who will come to Washington to see "the sights" to know that the expense of living has been very much reduced since last winter. Good board may be had at a number of places for twenty-five cents per meal. At a fashionable restaurant, where three years ago a luncheon would cost from seventy-five cents to a dollar, a good dinner may now be obtained for fifty cents. One of the first class hotels advertises table board for $25 per month; and at a restaurant recently established six courses, including a half bottle of claret, are given for seventy-five cents. In regard to lodging, the price of rooms varies with their size, location, and furniture. A small furnished room may be rented for seven or eight dollars per month, while larger and more elegantly furnished apartments cost no more than from fifteen to twenty dollars, and when the renter expresses his intentions to remain three or four months he can secure the room for less. There are one or two places where board is offered for fourteen dollars per month, but the fare, as might be expected, is very poor in quality and quantity. For those who desire to spend a few days and a great deal of money at the national capital, the completest faci lities are still afforded. Some of the old hotels still stand out in their charges, and there is at least one restaurant where the luxury of paying a dollar and fifty cents for a small but highly artistic luncheon may be enjoyed. But it is scarcely necessary to say that these stylish places have not their former patronage. Hotels, like statesmen, dogs, and other individuals, have their day of prosperity, and it is plain that the numerous cheap houses tre cutting down the profits of the big hotels very rapidly. It is remarkable to see the number of well-dressed and apparently well-to-do people who go to the lees expensive places. Their patrcnage is made np largely of government employes, but they are also frequented and patronized by professional men and their families, lawyers, journalists and physicians. The first-class hotels, with their extortionate prices of five or six dollars per day, will doubtless have to succumb sooner or later, and be reorganized with less style and display, butnot necessarily with less of solid comfort for their guests. While many members of Congress get their meals at the hotels, a large majority of them have apartments elsewhere, usually a parlor or sleeping room, on the first and second floor, for which they pay from forty to a hundred dollars a month, according to the locality and the elegance of furniture. The favorite localities for the more aristocratic members of Congress are near Franklin and La- Fayette squares, or on the streets bounded north and south by F and K and east and west by 12th and 18.h. They are not, however, confined within these boundaries, but are scattered promiscuously. Some live on Capitol Hill, others in Georgetown. Senator Withers of Virginia sleeps in his native State every night, at Alexandria, six miles from the capitol, and on the opposite side of the Potomac. Recently, during the exciting struggle for supremacy in the Senate, he found himself cut off from Washington by the swollen " condition of the river. The regular ferry boat had ceased running, but the Senator, equal to the emergency, hired a tug and made the perilous passage, arriving in time to cast his vote. 0. P. S. QUERY AND ANSWER. Bird Pepper for thicken*. To the Ediiors Indiana Farmer: I saw in a back number of the Fabmeb that some of the chicken raisers recommend bird pepper for chickens. I would like to know, tLrcugh the Fabheb, where I can get some seed. S. H. J. We presume it can be had at any seed store. . . Sowing Bine Grass Seed. Gbant Co., Dec. 6,1877s To the Editors Indiana Farmer: When is the proper time to sow bine grass seed? Will it do well sown with oats In spring and which does the best in this country, Kentucky or English? The quality of my soil is black loam. T. W. L. A farmer friend of many years experience in thi?, Marion connty, tells us that he has the beet success sowing clover in February. If the epring and early summer should happen to be wet, clover will do well with oats, but it the season is dry, the crop will be most likely to fail. Aa to the compositive quality of Ken. tucky, or native, and English blue gran, let others speak. We doubt, if all things considered, our native blue grass is not superior to any other. Additional Premiums for 1878. These have been received sinoe our last issue, to go on our big premium list to be awarded to our agents next spring : Mr. John Goss, of Bellmore, Ind,, gives a pair ofhis fine Partridge-Cochin fowls, of the Barker strain. Mr. A. J. Royalty, of Crawfordsville, Ind. changes the premium offered by him, to be as follows: 100 apple trees and 50 Concord grape vines ; apple trees to be selected, three years old, and grape vines to be two years old, first-clas", and to be given to the agent in Montgomery, or either adjoining county, in Indiana. Mr. W. E. Wise, of Fillmore, Pntnam county, Ind., makes a liberal offer of premiums to agents. Bead his effer in this issue ofthe Fabmeb. Mr. J. M. Dye, of Nbrthfield, Boone county, Indiana, places on onr premium lis*, agent's choice of one setting of eggs from his white Leghorns, of J. B. Smith's (Todd) strains. or of his light Brahmas, of the Felch train. Mr. H.W.Beidler, of Waterloo, Ind., contributes two handsome premiums to agent**, Bead his offer in this issue elsewhere. A Good Offer. Waterloo, Ind., Doc. 10, '77. To the Editors Indiana Farmer: Wishing to increase the circulation of the Faemeb, I will give the agent sending me the largest club of names, a Poland China pig, either sex. The pig will be from stock which took the first premium at the last Northeastern Indiana Fair. Also, a pair of Buff Cochin chickens fcr the second largest club. This club to be over fifteen. Pig to be delivered in May or June next. The names and money to be sent to me at Waterloo, Do-, kalb Co., Ind. H. W. Beidleh. A Card. Fillmoee, Putnam Co., Ind.
