Editors Indiana Farmer: My neighbor has a horse that has ring bone of lODg standing, about four years. Is on hind foot between pastern and hoof. Has good use ,1 pastern Joint is vtry lame-t present until moved awhile, been quacked some I think. Can lt be cured? If it can, what will doll? It it cannot be cured what ls best? Also what is the best cure for more recent ring bone? say three or four months. 1 have a horse that got a bad bruise on the pastern Joint about two months ago. Swelled very bad. Came near kll'lng It. I got the Inflammation reduced and tbe wound healed, but It bas left a callous swel ling. Can use the joint when moving. Is sore to press on lt and ts very lame. What is the best remedy? A Subscriber. Your horse having ring bone of four years standing cannot be cured,especially when quacked. But there is a chance for the ring bone of three months old. Take spirits of turpentine one pint, canthara- dea one onnce, mix. Bub ln upon the ring bone, twice per day, until veiyiough; then every alternate day for six or seven times; then grease with lard. In rubbing give lt quick friction. Treat horse No. 2 the same as the other. Colt In Bad Condition. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a colt ln a miserable condition. Last summer he was covered with knots all over his hind quarters and hind legs were terribly swollen from the knees down About six weeks ago his legs broke, and now they are one running sore trom the knees down. He eats well but ls poor; limbs are stiff at the knee Joints, but be can move about. SUBSCRIBER. Give your colt the powders ordered M. E. B. for his animal; take and blister his legs from the upper part of the tores down; blister only half round the limbs; never encircle a limb frith a blister. Apply the blister once per day for five or six days, then every alternate day for ten applications, then let go for a lew days. Grease with lard, and if necessary blister the other sides; only grease the parts first blistered 1 until second blistering is over. Don't have any cuts 1 ot sores on yonr bands when handling him, lest 1 farcey may be the disease. If kernels are found Breeding Peu or Plymouth Rocks Owned by Sid. Conger, Flat Rock, Indiana. For the Indiana Farmer. Handling and , Breeding Stock for Profit. The care of stock at this time of year is of great importance to the Jarmer. The cold rain storms so frequent in this latitude do all kinds of stock more real harm in checking growth, ciitting down flesh and undermining the constitution than the cold dry winds or the driving snow storms. An animal with_its hair and hide completely saturated is in no condition to withstand the cold, chilly blasts and just at such times every animal should be housed. A mere roof to keep them dry is a greater protection than a warm stable to stand in over night after they have passed the day in a cold rain. If this is true of cattle, hogs or horses, bow much more so is it of sheep, animals that carry great loads of wool. Think of it after you bave been walking or riding in a driving rain a whole December day and at evening are completely drenched! Youseek the fire early on reaching the house, or if possible change your clothing Tor other dry and comfortable and then you sit down and warm first your feet then your back. This care is none too good to keep away a severe cold—perhaps a case of deathly pneumonia. The cow, the pig, the horse nor even the sheep can so take care of themselves. They have no change of clothing, they havo no comfortable fare to sit by and warm tbeir feet or backs and yet we wonder at the diseases there are among animals! How can people with the proper instincts of humanity so abuse dumb brutes as to keep them weathering the storms of winter with no storm covering, or even a rack to keep their fodder from the mud. This is not only inhumanity but it is a bad investment in dollars land cents. Better have that which you can care for well than * to have so much as to half care for all. \NI meet a personal friend occasionally who '"*>>tried sheep breeding. He was at great expe__v) in getting good ones, good size and ^sayy si_wirers. They were good sheep. He had no success; his sheep took the scours and diea. He is now done with sheep and especially the kind he tried. I was visiting his place one time and I often think of it. It was, a raw bitter day with plenty of rain JaUiDg,and as we passed along the road to the house we saw his sheep in the pasture—a splendid flock of long wools,and I wondered how long they would remain out. They were not taken to the barn during my stay, and I have never been »n«prijed at that friend's "bad luck." --» -._■_.-. An experienced eye can catch the signs seen about such places and can readily discern the lurking diseases which are following up snch exposures. Cattle, sheep, hogs or horses are, If well cared for, prolific, thrifty and consequently profitable. If not well cared for they are just as unprofitable as theowneris disposed to make tbem. Take a cow for instance and calculating ber produce to be of equal numbers as to sex, and with no mishaps, Bhe will be the - ancestor in.ten years of 40 cattle, in twelve years of 60 cattle. Counting on a certainty of 75 per cent., and even the rough treatment in herding on the plains gives this as Jo west per cent., and see what we have,' 30 head of cattle in 10 years from one cow, .45 head in 12 years. Suppose we begin with a cow such as can be bought in many parts of Indiana for $18 to ?20, and use a thoroughbred Shorthorn bull with her and her produce. Tbe cow at full grown will not weigh more than 750 to 900 ponnds and she will not mature before five or six years old. A cross-bred or grade Short-horn calf from her and a thoroughbred bull will weigh at 12 months old 600 pounds and at 24 months 1,000 pounds, at 3(5 months 1,400 pounds, when they will do to market. Feed a lot cf these cattle crossed np with thoroughbred bulls along with some scrub steers and see the result. Every butcher that passes will want to buy the good ones and will refuse to take the scrubs. I know a farmer who always "thought a calf was a calf and all were alike until one time he happened to breed ono cow to a good bull bolonging to a neighbor. Tbe offspring was steered, and run with' bis other cattle. Everystockbuyerthatnassed asked "what will you take for thai good steer?" He would ask "which one?" The stock man wohW point out the one. The farmer replies I will sell all together at _T certain price, nut the buyers would not listen to it. They did not want the others. "Why?" asked the farmer. "They are scrubs." The farmer asked "what do you call scrubs?" The buyers would explain that this one had good blood and theotbers had not. "How do you know that?" asked our farmer friend. But he failed to make- the trade and for months this kind of conversation would occasionally occur with passing cattle men. Finally he sold tbem all together but the good one was put down far below what he was offered singly for him, just to sell the others. That firmer went directly to the nearest bre-Bder and bought a thoroughbred Shorthorn bull and has had one on the place ever 'since. He was a Dutchman and said he never wanted to lose money on calves again. He was right ia considering that the amount he received per head being less than that offered for one was so much list on each one. Sheep'are more rapidly bred up than cattle, and a farmer starting with a flock of common sheep can soon have a fine flock by using thoroughbred rams only. I know of a man who bought good ewes at 4 cents per pound, put a thoroughbred Cotswold ram with them that fall, sold the lambs next fall lor $5 all around and had the owes left to feed. These same lambs were sold again before they were one year old for $9 per head. These are facts which have occurred under my observation. These men, however, were good breeders and good care takers but they were no better at either than any farmer can be. Farming is a business and should be conducted on business principles. It matters not how much you invest in a good bull, ram or boar for practical purposes, so you get your money back and more. A good bull at from f 100 to ?150 is a better Investment than a mean ono at $25 and there will be more income from it dollar for dollar. H. C. M.

For the Indiana Farmer. 1 have a horse eight years old that has always had good eyes until two days ago. lie suddenly became blind. The sight seems to be scattered. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, but they have returned to tbeir natural color again. Is there any cure for him. G. S. K. I think there ls no help for your horse's eyes. Tbey may recover a little, but will eventually go out. Injured Marc. Editors Indiana Farmer: My mare had her heel burnt by a rope halter drawn tightly around lt some Uve years ago; at times her heel will crack yet without any apparent cause, (her feet always are kept clean) and makes her very lauue; leg wil swell tothebocy; very sore to tbe touch on the Inside of leg.

Editors Indiana Farmer: My mare's eyes commenced running water Saturday night, and Sunday mornlnz lt was running matter and blood. It seems that the ball ls bursted. It don't seem to hurt her much. She Is healthy other ways; is in good order and eats well. R. K. You know best whether your mare's eye is bursted or not; lf so. there ls no remedy; if bursted, it would be smaller than the other. If only hurt, burn alum; make it crisp; pulverize lt aud put a pinch ln the eye once per day. Editors Indiana Farmer I have a lamb that weighed thirty-eight pounds when thirty days old and one that weighed thirty-nine pounds the same age. They are of the Cotswold and Southdown mixed.

Its hoofs grow very fast; the blacksmith tella me it is sneddlng the frog, says it will be all right when they come oat. Do mules shed the frog? B. F. P. Your blacksmith misinformed you; neither mules nor horses shed their frogs without provocation. Yonr mule had a disease called thrush, lt is caused by contraction or filth; filthy stabling ls a fruitful cause of thrusb. * Iiocfcjavr. Editors Indiana Farmer.

I've been taking your paper since January flrst, and have seen nothing ln lt as yet about books in horse's eyes. I have a colt three years old this spring whose eyes are affected by hooks. I would like to- have your opinion snd advice on the snb- Ject. M.J. .The Fabmbb never anticipates diseases, but stands ready to give all information when demanded. There ls no such'dlsease as books in horses eyes. The disease called books ls Inflammation of tbe'baw. an organ placed within the corner ofthe eye tor thepur- pese of wiping or souellngoff any foreign body Intruding itself into the eye, such as flies, dust, etc. Blacksmiths and quack doctors are ln the babit of excising the useful organ and deprive the animal for life of its benefit. I see no more sense ln cutting out an Inflamed haw, than in cutting off an Inflamed ear, tail or a leg. Treat lt for inflammation, and leave its use to the poor brnte. Take sugar of lead, 2 drachms; rain water, I pint; sulphate of zinc, X drachm. Wash three times per day, using a clean piece of white muslin; or blister beneath the eye, or use the egg powder. VTas-ta. Editors Indiana Farmer: In September last there commenced a lump swelling on the edge of my cow's Jaw, under the hide four or five Inches back from the corner of the mouth. In about two months lt opened: run nothing but blood. There have two more come on a line towards the mouth closely together; last one more under, and about as large as a hulled walnut; first one more I than twice as large but of a flaMlke shape, of an angry red color. Subscriber. I often see men have tbe big-head, but never once a cow. Your cow has an uncommon kind of warts. Take and cut the hide over those that have not festered and cut them out; have a half moon-shaped curved needle, and if an artery or vein is cut, run the needle under It and knot the thread above lt; this will stop the blood; or bave your blacksmith make two cautery Irons, with bulb ends, about the size of a pullet's egg; have a fire ready, place the bulb ends ofthe Irons In the tire, then cast the cow, and when made fast cut out the tumors, and sear the wounds with the bulb ends ofthe irors; this will stop any bleeding and destroy the fibres OT the tumors; have tbe hand ends of the irons about two feet long. -Lest Broken. Editors Indiana Farmer: What can I do for my mare? ■ She ran away abont seven months ago. She had ber left bind leg broken Just below the stiflejolnt, but she could walk all the time, but the ham-string seems to be broken and heals very slowly. I have a mare that rests her feet Just across—what alls her. Bhe also had her right hock hurt last fall; it has never fully recovered. ST7B6CBXBEB. You must be mistaken In your mare's leg being broken; If broken «he couldn't walk; what would she rest her weight on in stepping with the other limb? It is also Impossible for the main tendon of the limb tobe broken. If divided lt must be cut; perhaps it is loosed from tbe osealcis, the point of the hock, and lf so, never can unite again. I think lt fortunate to have her with colt, for lithe tendon is loose from the bone, the colt ls worth more than tbe mare. Horses often attract the habit of crossing one leg before the other, and is only a habit, which ls difficult to correct. Blister the hock upon tbe part that had been hurt. Do not blister all round, but one side at a time. Apply once per day for ten days, using the liquid blister, one ounce cantharides to one pint of spirits turpentine. Sweepstakes Breeding Pen. The illustration »n this page shows a breeding pen of Plymouth Rocks, owned by Mr. Sid Conger, of Flat Rock, Shelby county, Ind.

With scarcely an exception he breeds all his prize birds, and others as good, and cannot afford to breed to a poor bird. * The recent grand record of his stock at the many late exhibitions, places it in the front rank and shows that it is well bred, and he is still making improvements.
