I have a fine two-year-old colt which
commenced running slightly at the nose
about two months ago, out of one nostril
only; it has continued Incessantly ever
since, growing worse for the flrst week,
I and seems to get no better or worse, and
smells very badly. It has greatly reduced
his flesh, but is full of life and has a good
appetite. He is free from cough, and the
running matter is of two colors, sometimes
a light green and sometimes a yellowish
color. W. H.
As soon as you see this answer to your
inquiry, take your colt and feel in the cavity between the jaw bones, and if the submaxillary glands are enlarged, he is glan-
dered. The glands should be about the
size of a large hickory nut, or a little larger,
and if not too near the jawbone the case is
favorable, and the nearer, the less chance
there is of a cure; but if adhering to the
bone you had better shoot him. Let me
hear from you. Look after your other
horses if you find the kernels.

POLAND CHINA HECOED.
The breeders of Polaud China swine of
this and the other Central Western States
met in this city last week and organized
the Central Swine Breeders' Association.
The articles of association were adopted
and filed for record in tbe proper office.
The capital stock of the association consists
of 300 shares, at $10 each. Mr. Samuel
Dragoo, of Edinburg, was elected president;
Nelson Pegg, S. E. Hollingsworth and K.
Alexander, vice-presidents; Chas. F. Robbins,'of this city, secretary, and James
Mustard, treasurer.
This is a step in the right direction, very
greatly needed, in order that the purity of
ttie Poland China blood may be traced,
and buyers of choice stock be enabled to
know by the record, when they are buying thoroughbred stock. The association
will issue an annual Record, bound
durably, in which the pure bred Poland
Chinas of the Western States will be recorded. The secretary, Mr. C. F. Robbins,
of this city, has been supplied by the association with the necessary blanks to send
out to breeders for the record of their Poland Chinas. Applications are coming in
for them quite briskly already. With the
blanks are sent all the necessary instructions, and the first volume of the new
Record will be rapidly made up and published with as little delay as possible, so
that buyers of choice stock may know
hereafter where the pure bloods can be
had. Attention is directed to the card of the
association elsewhere in this week's Farmer,
advertising their swine. This firm has recently sold the fine yearling bull, "Carboy,"
to Judge Jno. L. Hopkins, Atlanta, (Ja.
Also a heifer and calf to E. L. f_amb, Esq.,
siiperintenden*, Chicago Tron Foundry Co.
The Clydesdale catalogue of Mr. A. Z.
Blodgett, Waukegan, 111., is well wortb
sending a postal card for, as some fine animals are given in it.

Mb. F. H. Glancy, Monroe, Lee county,

country. His latest laurels were gained at
St. Louis last fall. Mr. Glancy can now
lay claim to twV- '7 fine imported Clydes
dales as can be found. Bloomington

section for his efforts in the improvement

and diligence horses. The breeders of the
Boulonnais must govern themselves' according to the demands of the market. As
long as their colts are valued by the stock
raisers of Vimeux and Caux, they should
use Boulonnais stallions exclusively, giving the preference to those whose backs are
more nearly straight, and the hips better
defined, longer crupper, and tail firmly attached.       ' ■ ■   -
"Horses that have been kept for two or
three years in the vicinity of Saint Valery,
Yvetot and Chateauneuf are finer and more
spirited than the horses of Arras and Per-
onne. To these stallions the stock breeders
■ should breed their lighter mares, and not
neglect to furnish good pasture, cultivate
the most nutritious fodder, and constantly
feed sheaves of grain, in Oder to produce
muscle without increasing the size of the
stomach. <- • :        ' ,

BEECH GE0VE FABM.
We had the pleasure recently of spending
a few hours with Mr. Jackson on the above
named farm, 6 miles south east of Indianapolis. Within a few years Messrs. Churchman & Jackson have attained an enviable
reputation for this farm and their herd of
Jersey cattle. The purity of blood, excellence of milking qualifications . of animals
imported by this firm, and their disregard
of expense in securing just what they desired at the start, together with Mr. Jackson's experience and judgment have placed
their herd prominently among the flnestof
Jersey cattle in this country. They sold
last year about 70 head of cattle at good
prices, the purchasers being mostly in
Southern, Western' and Northern States.
They have had demand from all parts of
the United States. The system pursued in
every detail about the stables and dairy
department speaks well for the management of Mr Jackson. Everything must be
just so. Stables clean and convenient; the
cows are stalled and fed in roomy apait-
ments, with fastenings arranged so that
each cow fastens herself in place. ■
A record is kept of the weight of milk
given by each cow, and its richness is
tested frequently. The butter Is made and
worked by machinery; put up in pound
packages and sold to hotels and private
families in Indianapolis at 40 and 50 cents
per pound. Their butter received a diploma at the National Dairy Fair last year;
there being no competition from this State
ne premiums could be awarded. Their
small advertisment in the Farmer a few
months ago  created   such   a  demand for
' Norman. French  Horses.
The following extracts we copy from a
history of French horses written by Prof.
J. H. Magne, Director ofthe Imperial Veterinary College at Alfort, France, member
of the Central Veterinary Medical Society,
ex-professor ol the Veterinary School at
Lyons, member of the Imperial Academy
of Medicine, and member ot the Central
Agricultural Society of France:
"Among all our large draft horses, the
most renowned in commerce are the Boulonnais. They come from Boulogne, Mon-
treuil, Bethune, Saint Omer, and from the
western part of the department of Da Nord.
The cantons formed of clay soil about Boulogne, Marquise, Guinea, Desvres, furnish
thebest. The Boulonnais found1 in commerce are tall—from sixteen to Seventeen
hands high. They have large bodies, very
thick and heavy, well put together; an expressive face, large head, well carried upon
an elegant and well-lormed neck; exceedingly broad chest; very fleshy Bhoulders;
withers thick, but high; the back slightly
hollowed; the loins very full; the double
crupper very fleshy—has a depression over
the rump; the thighs are formed of fine
strong muscles; the mane is double; there
is generally but little long hair on'the legs,
the skin is . flne, and the coat soil. Well
cared for.the Boulonnais horses are remarkable for strength; and notwithstanding
their weight, they have a light step; one is
astonished at the ease with which they
move their limbs when trotting. The
mares raised and retained in "the country
were used before the opening ofth9 railroads in transporting shell-fish and other
flsh from the sea to Paris. In this toilsome service, ■ they were • accustomed to
make long journeys, at the rate of five
miles an hour.   •• <• ,  ■     j . ...     Y
'.'The Boulonnais have,for along time,
occupied the first rank among draft hones.
They are perfectly adapted, to the demands
their Berkshires that they sold all they
could possibly spare in so short a time that  of brewers, millers,  draymen and carriers.
Weak Horse. ---•
Editors Indiana Farmer;
Please tell me what; ails my horse; his
hair looks bad and coarse; has a good appetite and good life, but when I drive him a
short distance he seems to have no wind.
Lafayette. E. O.
Your horse is weak; no wonder his wind
is short. The full number of the lacteals
of his bowels fail to take up the nutriment
out of the food he eats, therefore it does
him no good. Take blood-root, two ounces;
yellow-root, two ounces; black antimony,
one ounce; Pulis nitre, two' ounces; sulphate of iron, two ounces. Mix and give
one teaspoonful twice per day in feed.
Hip Sweeney.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
One of my neighbors has a horse that is
very lame in one hind leg andis gradually
getting worsej ahd his hin is shrunken
badly. ;It is pronounced hip sweeney by
many. J. A.
Milroyjlnd.
If your horse has hip sweeney take oil of
spike, oil of organum, aqua ammonia, spirits of turpentine, spirits of wine, and olive
oil, each two ounces; mix and rub in with
the hand over the shrunken parts every
alternate day for four applications, making
eight days in all. Rub in well the first
time until he flinches and shows pain,
using one-fourth of the bottle every application.
Cattle Disease.
Editors Indiana Fanner:
I had a milch cow in good condition, which
suddenly lost her appetite, then lay down
most of the time; looked sick but did not
appear to suffer much; she was sick about
three days and died a hard death. Had a
calf of tbis cow nearly one year of age that
took sick about time of death of the cow.
It stood around with headache, did not lay
down until near death, which was about 15
hours. Post-mortem examination ot both—
livers fery bad; most of the liver rotten;
no lever during sickness; liver was all that
I could see wrong. J. W. S.
If your cow died of a disease of the
liver, and any others are so affected, give
them podophyllin, 30 to 40 grains every
morning in thin gruel^and spirits of turpentine in evening in grease or oil of any
kind until the podophyllin operates upon
the bowels.
■ Sprained.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
What ails my mare,'her hind leg is badly
swollen from fetlock to stifle, very sore to
touch on inside; and from hock-joint to stifle appears to be the tenderest point. She
slipped whilepulling a heavy load, and was
barefooted on that foot. • ■  D. D. S.
Your mare has been sprained by slipping,
else she has got a disease called feltic. In
either case keep the parts continually wet
ter; drop one-half drachm of tincture of
aconite root on the tongue, and in one hour
one-half drachm of tincture of belladonna
on the tongue, then the aconite again, and
so continue using them alternately until
well. After the heat and swelling commences to subside, use them every alternate two hours.
A Chronic Case.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
Allow me to Intrude on your good nature once more,and give me a cure for my
horse. 1 gave the powder so olten recommended in your valuable paper but it does
not help him much. His hair looks bad;
has a good appetite, or eats all the grain I
give him, but does not do him much good.
He did discharge a white looking matter
from the nostrils when drinking, but have
seen nothing of it lately. I examined him
for the glanders but failed to find any indication of it. His manure is soft like that
of an ox, and is sometimes white in color;
occasionally his passages come natural,
and he does quite well. P. B.
Harvey Co., Kan.
If the powders you speak of are ginger,
black antimony, etc., is what you allude
to, continue their use, and add to the
dose a 14 or 16 ounce package. It is
a small thing to correct a disease of
.the bowels that changes the consistence and
character of their contents. You must not
expect to cure chronic cases as easily as
sporadic ones. Make, him flax-seed jelly,
as recommended in a recent issue of the
Farmer.
Scratches.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I have a fine mare that has the scratches
in her hind feet. When I got her a man
advised me to burn her feet with creosote
ointment, which I did. I havetried everything that I thought was good, but they
remain about the same. Her feet are terribly inflamed. T. B.
Mt. Vernon.
My opinion is that your mare will recover by proper treatment. Of course the
party who recommended creosote was more
ignorant than the mare ho ruined with it.
The facts in the case are that you tried too
much. Take gum camphor,' powdered,
half an ounce; powdered gum myrrh, one-
ounce; spirits of turpentine, one ounce;
sulphuric acid, one ounce. Have the camphor, myrrh, and turpentine put into a
quinine bottle with a little lard, say two
ounces, then pour in the acid slowly, about
a teaspoonful at a time, lest it should overheat and burst the bottle; keep it stirred
while mixing, then get an oyster can, or
other wide-mouthed tin vessel, melt a
pound of lard and mix in the medicine
with it; smear the heels once or twice per
day with it; wash the heels with caateel
soap and dry well before using the medicine every time.
Glanders
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I have a horse that has a slight swelling
in the throat at the upper part of the jaw
or throttle, and when excited breathes hard,
likely broken or thick wind. Is there any
cure for him? I have Navin's book which
treats the same as heaves. F. A. H.
La Otto, Ind.
We beg pardon, Navin's. book will not
tell you that an abscess or lump on the
throat at the upper part of the jaw is
"heaves." If those lumps or swellings you
speak of are on the Jaw, near the upper
part, and his breathing is affected, you have
a fair chance of glanders. If the swelling
you speak of is on the trachea or windpipe,
it is natural, it is the laryngitis; if a movable round tumor it is melonosis; if he has
heaves, that is a thickening of the mucous
membrane of the trachea, bronchial tubes,
or of the air-cells, or of all of them, then
see Navin's book for a remedy, but do not
exaggerate its meaning; describe properly
where the swelling is, its size, location and
form, whether stationary or movable, soft
