Meikle, of Pendleton, formerly of Indiana, Penn., sold to Messrs. Given <fc Baud, Frankfort, Ind., the imported Clydesdale stallion, Baron, imported here in September, 1879. In his native country, Scotland, he had few equals, as can be seen by examining bis record. Since lavjing he has had no chance to be exhibited, but all horsemen allow at once that he is the finest specimen ofa draft stallion ever seen in Indiana. The importer, Wm. Meikle, claims him to be the nearest a perfect draft horse in America, and it will require an extraordinary close inspection to find a fault in him. Frankfort can now claim to have two a*) fine imported stallions as there are in Indiana, Rob Roy and Baron. t ivt s jfatlt. Mr. I*aao Austin, Springboro, Warren county, Ohio, has a Buperb herd of Poland China hogs of the finest strains. Hi* herd is in most excellent condition for spring returns. Jhrshts.—A. Bybee.Indianapolis; Messrs. Fesler & Math_s,Frankli rr; Augustas Seifert, Stratford, and Matt. Ferguson, Irvington, bave all recently purchased thoroughbred Jersey bulls from W. J. Hasselman, Indianapolis, breeder ot thoroughbred Jersey cattle. »— The Paris Kentuckian says that Mr. B. F. "Vanmeter, Clarke county, that State, breaks his doubtful breeding and fat Shorthorn cows to the yoke, and they answer the purpose of oxen. This, with feeding hemp seed, restores many barren cows to fertility. *. Mr. J. W. Baker, of Butlercounty, Ohio, while attending the late fairs in this State got sight of the fine strain of Poland China swine bred by Mr. A. W. Ross, Muncie, and a few days ago visited Mr. Ross and bought some of him. Mr. Baker is highly gratified with his investment. The late rapid advance in carpets and all woolen goods is indicative of higher prices for the next wool clip. The rise in goods came after the wool had passed out of the producers hands, and into the woolen goods manufacturers combination, hence the steady price of wool. - Everything now points to better price3 for the next clip, and the sheep interests are everywhere looking «P- SHEEP HTJ6BAKDBY IN NEAB FUTURE. There isnot a doubt but sheep husbandry is on the eve ofa great revival in this country. The ;ap1d sdvrtr.ee In rll kinds of woolen goods and the increasing demand for them are sure signs of this. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman viewing the matter from the same standpoint, say«J....'. . , - [ It la probable that,'"(ft* a number of years to j^ome, more attention will be paid to sheop-growing than has been recently. Even in the years of hard times, sheep, in localities adapted to them, have probably paid as well as anything else. But, from one cause and another, the country has been getting out of sheep; wool went down so low tbat fattening and killing sheep for their carcasses has paid better than keeping. The result is that—take the country through —the number of sheep has increased little since 1869; has, perhaps, even decreased in in that time. Now the markets are nearly bare of wool; the manufactories are in full blast to supply the'demand for woolen goods, and we are beginning to find dut that sheep are scarce. Eastern farmers have been frightened out of sheep-growing by competition in Texas, the Northwest, and Australia. At present prices of wool and sheep, we-can grow them in Western New York. It is probable that the extremely low prices ofthe last few years have been as injurious to our competitors as to ourselves. If this proves to be so, we have nothing to fear unless they so rapidly improve their stock and methods of keeping as to compete with us on equal terms. FEEDING AHD CAEE OF H0ESES. A BOs'ton Transcript writer strikes a keynote when referring to the care of horses. It says the sundry condition powders and tonics which are often fed to horses, and produce an increase of flesh, but they must be kept up or the horse will run down, and in the end they will do an injury. Regular feeding, faithful grooming,change of diet,salt always accessible, exercise,even if it be hard work, with sufficient rest, pure water, pure air in the stable, and comfort with quiet, will causjs almost any horse properly fed to lay on flesh, if not to become fat. A writer upon this subject, who appears to be well posted, sayr; "Many good horses devour large quantities of grain and hay, and still continue to be thin and poor. The food eaten is not properly assimilated. If the usual food has been unground grain and hay, nothing but a change will effect a desirable alteration in the appearance of the animal. In case oil meal can not be obtained readily, mingle a bushel of flax seed with a bushel of barley, one of oats and another bushel of Indian corn, and let it be ground into fine meal. This will be a fair proportion for all his feed. Or the meal of barley, oats and corn, in equal quantities, may be first procured, and one-fourth part, of the oil cake mingled with it, when the meal is sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or three times daily, mingled with a peck of cut hay and straw. If the horse will oat that amount greedily, let the quantity be increased until he will eat four or six quarts at every feeding three times a day. So long as the animal will eat this allowance, the quantity may be increased a little every day. But avoid the practice of allowing a horse to stand at a rack well filled with hay. Iii order to fatten a horse that has run down in flesh, the groom should be very particular to feed tbe animal no more than he -will eat up clean and lick the manger for more." Horae Shoes—No. 1. BT DR. JOHN N. NAVIN, V. S. The unexampled number of horse shoes lately patented, and the many perfections claimed for each by the different patentees, wopld excite discussion upon the merits of each, in preference to the old concave-seated shoes. In a country like ours where every man who thinks himself capable of judging for himself, is free to approve or disapprove either one or all, I ask the readera of the Fbrmbx to be a little slow until satisfied that they have something better than the old concave-seated shee, that for a century ard a halt, at least, has been approved by the ablest judges of Europe and America. It is claimed for one of those shoes, the one advertised in the Farmer of the 21st inst., perhaps no worse than many others of such Impositions jj_\ its manufacture, that its calkings are *ltCJiistructed that not only does it prevent JK/ase, but cures those already provoke*jjry tho oid concave and all other shoes. Tbii proposition I shall combat while paper continues to not refuse ink, and here bold*y assert that oo shoe ever invented is of itself capable of curing contraction, unless so constructed as to admit *of mechanical force being applied to the foot, and not even then, except the foot is property prepared by either a skillful veterinary surgeon, farrier or blacksmith. II I understand the eulogy accompanying it, tho shoe is to be fitted cold;.this means fitting the foot to the shoe, not the shoe to the loot, which is simply impossible until old nature consents to procure a pattern of the much-boasted shoe and form all future feet to fit it. In the meantime, had we not better use the shoe that can be fitted to any and all shaped and sized feet? This is, therefore, the theory that all sensible men will adopt. The excuse put forth for fitting—I would say misfitting cold—seems to bo a natural horror against touching the foot with a heated shoe. To this I would ssy that J am not scared about burning my horse*-' feet, unless carried too far. The reason whvl, a-y -sveltpr-r.'n-j_,.- «,T.iier;-.vr'lr..,», l,.iV J forbiden the excessive burning of J^-j foot, is to caution lazy blacksmiths agai *s burning away instead of cutting the ex«He of horn necessary to be cut off at ev-he shoeing. Any man -who knows tha ar a omy of the foot knows that slightly bing ing the stiff fiber composing the chief b___k of the feet on their extreme ends, about four inches from the coronary that produces them, cannot affect their normal healthy condition, but is the quickest way to find the level, or under surface of both shoe and foot, which is necessary to a perfect fitting shoe. If the reader will take the troublo to read page 26S of my work on the horse written fourteen years ago, he will find that in it, and tlie following pages, 270, 272, and 276,1 advocated then the exact theory that I do now. Indeed, there can be no other theory. I then denounced the theory of fitting the foot to the shoe, and quoted the case of an ancient king who made a uniform coffin that fitted his own length, and issued a decree that all his subjects who died must be made to fit It, those too short to be stretched in a machine made for the purpose, and those too long were cut to fit. I advocated .close seating and close fitting. On page 272 and 276 I showed, the extent that burning might be carried on. Although not a prophet*, or the son of a prophet, the article upon shoeing in my book looks more prophetic of the attempts at superseding the best shoe ever made, the concave seated shoe, on -which there is no patent, but free to all men. There is no class of men in the world more willing to pervert the laws of nature than the most ignorant, for no sooner do they conceive anything in their mind than they try to put in it practice, never consulting the laws of nature, which, of course, they are ignorant of in toto, and never car- ingwhatinjurythey may do as long as they can make a profit out 'of a poor dumb life qhat may suffer. If they can only deceive its owner, and never caring or considering that a horso without feet is worse than no horse at all. Indeed, blacksmiths are no more capable than are the generality of people ior their careless interference with tbe life they aro utirtble-to give. Brewers, and bakers, glovers and skinners, and everybody else pretend to know all about the horse. * In conclusion I here assert boldly, and without, fear of contradiction, that no form of shoo that has ever been invented can exert tbe least influence in curing the general diseases incident to the foot, thrtt it is the sole business of the veterinary surgeon or blacksmith, and that they cannot be entirely successful if only one form of the shoe is used, and I think that the intelligent American horse owner will agree with my entire theory in this article, except, perhaps, a firm hired, or interested individuals. Not while I stand ready to do battle in his behalf, and I am persuaded that by his so doing that all bare-faced at tempts to revolutionize nature will, and should be, stamped out. Black Sheep. C. v. Croxton received an order from R. A.,-Stewart, of Rush county, Ind., for 50 black ewes and he purchased all of them from the herd of Sydney Clay and shipped yesterday. This makes 153 sheep Mr. C. has sent to Rush county lately, all for breeding purposes.—Paris Kentuckian. Blood Will TelL Editors Indiana Farmer: Throe years ago Frederick B. Packer, wliose tarm is situated near our village, sold three three-year-old steers, oommon stock, for $30 each. last Saturday he again sold to George Ricket, Sevastopol, Kosciusko county, three steers three years old last May, from the same cows but from a thoroughbred Short-horn bull, at the following figures: Total weight 4,988 pounds; average, 1,G66 pounds; price per pound 4K cents; average value, f70 6GJ4; total, 9211 99. The keeping of each lot were about the same, not fatted. J. M. D. TYosa, Ind. •- — » The Hereford Herd Book.

Congress is further respectfully requested to appropriate a euffif-ient sum ot money to ent ble the Veterinary Sanitary Organization to deal at once, and effectually, with these three important matters. A. Liautard, J. Law, and others. ^Icteniwrji* healthy? We do not use it, but let her own and other calves run with her. What will cure her? George. Preble Co., O. —The abscess on the jaw does not affect the milk of the animal for use. The injury may be caused by rubbing on a fence, in which case a splinter may have run into the hide and caused the trouble. It appears that the abscess is indolent from secreting matter too long, and a morbid secretion gathered and lodged in tbe surrounding parts. If no caries, roling ofthe bone has commenced, stimulate the parts to healthy action, ahd nature will provide, form a covering, blister the parts, and let us know if the bone is sound or not. Disease in the Blood. Editors Indiana Farmer: Can you give me a cure for my horse? Her hind legs swell when she stands in the stable. She is seven years old, a good gentle worker. I do not work her hard; I drive her to the buggy. She is a big eater but does not thrive. Last summer she got some little lumps on her breast and fore part of her belly, but they opened and are well. Wm. Dernbtte. Terre Haute, O. —The disease is an aqueous, watery, effusion in the blood, which percolates through the cellular tissues, and consequently gravitates to the legs. Give the following: Ground ginger, four drachms; flour of sulphur, two drachms; Pulis nitre, four drachms; black antimony, two drachms; sulphate of iron, two drachms; resin, two drachms. Dose, one teaspoonful three times per day in feed. Blister one side of the legs with a liquid blister of t}_ ounces powdered Spanish flies, and pint spirits of turpentine; mix by shaking together. Rub in well with the hand morning and evening for three days, then every alternate day for five applications, then blister tha other side if necessary. Catarrh Fever. Editors Indiana Farmer: My hogs have a cough and snuff their noses, shake their heads, and considerable matter comes from their nostrils. When they snuff in some cases their noses turn up so as they can not eat corn off the cob. C. O. • Franklin Co., Ind. t'—Your hogs are affected with catarrh fever, or probably pneumonia or pleuropneumonia, most likely the former. Keep them as -warm as possible, ih a situation where they can have fresh air to breathe, so that the oxygen ofthe air can be inhaled to biearbomze the blood. If you have a large earthen floored shed or barn, burn wood all over the floor until the floor is quite hot; sprinkle dry dirt, dust, etc., over it, or sawdust to prevent injuring the feet; shake straw over it also. If properly done the hogs will sweat; give in slop or drench with spirits of nitre, or drop 20 or 30 drops of aconite rt. tincture and tincture of belladonna on the tongue every hour, using them alternately.

Edlcors Indiana Farmer: My mare got hurt on the side of the neck near the weathers a year ago; it run on for quite a while; I then cut it. open and put in rhubarb and arsenic, and killed it, cut it all out; used lard, gun-powder and camphor. It healed up, but breaks out occasionally. She has never been worked any; is running out all the time. Subscriber. Cicero, Ind. —The surprise is that you hadn't killed the. mare with the arsenious acid; the rhubarb did neither harm nor good; your lard, gun-powder and camphor were so much waste; the result now is quite doubtful. The best way would be to cut out all the diseased flesh with a knife, or destroy it with caustic medicine. Take copper cents, about fourto six, in a wide-mouthed bottle, and pour nitric acid over them until all are dissolved; temper a portion of it with half its amount of cider vinegar and force it down to the bottom of the abscess once or twice por day with a long snipe-billed syringe; wet the part.; under the abscess with thevii.fgar. If this is ineffectual use the mfdi-iino' stronger, until it cauterizes the pins uud destroys tho walls of the abscess. Abscess on the Jaw. Editors Indiana Farmer: What may be the matter with my cow? She rubbed her jaw against the edge of the trough and formed a running sore, but for Bix or nine months it has "run" or festered, but seems dry, and the skin haa grown fast to the bone, leaving the bone exposed the size of a quarter dollar. It is situated about two inches back of the chin on the under edge of the bone—bone deems scaly, whitish like dried beet Is her milk r.vniAXA.

Ratsville, Dec. 22.—Our wheat crops are looking very fine for this date, with perhaps 25 or 35 per eent. larger acreage than last season. Corn is light, mostly sold to shippers. Ours is the banner temperance county of the State, consequently OBr jail is empty. Yon will always find us right. D.P. Knox Co., Dec. 22.—Wheat looks well ln this -vicinity, about an average crop sown; the early sown looks quite yellow; some dead and dying before the late rains, but is now looking better. Corn is little more than Ji of a crop in bulk and less in weight and quality, caused by two wind storms in August. Hogs are tolerably healthy and stock generally doing well. Ephraim Wamplkr.

Wheat and barley are looking well, and a large acreage sown. Times are good, with fair prices for everything. Fat hogs are about all sold. All stock looks well. Thero are many feeding spring pigs for a late market. John B. J. Defiance Co., Dae. 24.—Farmers here sowed a large acreage of wheat. Si>me of it was hurt by dry weather and the fly. Oorn on bottom land fine, but light on upland. Farmers are gradully but suroly on the high road to prosperity, and the little shiners go down into their pockets with a satisfactory clink. n. H. Hill. Sprinohoro, Dec. 26.—We have a fine prospect for winter grain. Wheat and barley fields almost universally good. Corn crop an average in quantity but inferior in quality, caused by storms in the early season, and early frost. The wheat on my farm yielded 60 bushels per acre, on a 12 acre field. No hog cholera here, but it has been fatal inthe neighborhood of Franklin Fat hogs sold. Trade good for first-class Poland Chinas for breeding. I. A. AltKA-V.VtS. Norristown, Dec. 23.—Corn gathered here. Considerable cotton yet remains to be picked, and wagon after wagon comos into town with from 100 to 400, and from 500 to 520 pound bales of cotton for sale. This fall there is an immonse business in cotton, the merchants shipping by the boat and carload. Wheat in places looks well. Have seen a great deal in tho Farmer about the number of grains of the big corn. There are hero four ears of corn, the first having 25 rows with 65 grains to the row; second, 25 rows with 60 grains to the row; third, 28 rows with 61 grains to the row; fourth, 30 rows with 65 grains to the row. S. E. McCurdy. WASIIIJKJTOS TI-KRITOIIT. Farminoton, Dec. 15.—This is a fine country for all kinds of small grain, and beats the world for vegetables. Stock of all kinds does extra well. Stock need little attention, as grazing is good, and sheep go through the winter with very little feed. Sheep here average 7 to 8 lbs. wool per head. Wheat is selling at 50c. This place is at the junction ofthe Snake and Columbia rivers. J. N. Balthis. HISSOURI. Nodaway Co., Dec. 22.—Wheat looks promising. Corn was Hi ot tt crop. Grrrat amount of rye grown here.
