Postal Card Correspondence. i tyivt jplocL Mr. J. M. Marlow, Decatur county, Ind., haa sent us a handsome sample of wool fiom the flne lamb heretofore mentioned In the Farmer. The lamb weighed" 65 pounds at two months old. • Mr. D. L. Smith, Whiteland, Ind., sends us a flne sample of wool from a Cotswold lamb not quite a year old. The wool measures over' 14 Inches in length and shows that the lamb is a flne * one of this favorite breed. Mr. Smith has a superb flock. .Last week the Central Poland China Record Association received 325 pedigrees for the forthcoming volume, soon to be issued. The first two days of this week many more were received by the secretary. Thus far the pedigrees received are from the leading breeders of Poland Chinas. E. Peck & Sons, Geneva, Kane county, 111., breeders of Merino sheep have just sold 350 rams and 230 ewes of their own breeding to parties in Texas. Their stock is as pure bred as any in the world, and this breed of sheep are now in large demand, the wool commanding better prices than other kinds. We had the pleasure of a call at the farm ol Dr. J. P. Forsyth, of Johnson county, Ind., last week, and found him busy closing out at private sale all the Short-horns he now has for sale. He retains some 50 head of good breeding animals, belonging to several ofthe popular families which will be bred this year to his Oakland bull. He has as fine a bunch of thoroughbred calves as we have seen in many a day, all of the favorite red color. The Doctor, strictly opposes straight breeding, and believes that in-and-in breeding is a fatally mistaken policy. The once famous New York Mills herd is cited in proof of his views on this subject. All the animals of that once famous herd but one are now dead. He ascribes this fatality to lack of vitality, arising from straight breeding. A writer in the Live Stock Journal lately alluded to this matter also. Dr. Forsyth is determined to stand by the principle of vitality in breeding, rather than that of mere fancy pedigrees. SALE OF JEESEYS. The sale of Jerseys belonging to Col. J. F. Miller, Richmond, at the Union Stock Yards, this city, on Wednesday of last week was well attended by buyers from nearly all the Western States. The lot of cows and calves offered was an exceptionally good one, and the offering was the largest pure, registered Jerseys that has ever been made in this section ofthe country. The bidding was spirited under theskillful management of auctioneer Col. L. P. Muir, of Paris, Ky. and ttie prices paid were quite satisfactory to Col. Miller and the other Jersey breeders present. The sales were as follows: Plume 2d, W. J. Dean, Hanover, Mich., ?215; calf, F. M. Hay, Ottawa, 111., ?35; Grace Miller, George Jackson, Beech Grove Farm, $100; Imported Valentine, S. F.

The average price paid far the cows was $180, the average for calves ' $62. A bull brought $75. The total amount of the sale was about $6,000, over two-thirds of which is paid by ludiana buyers. The success of this sale will encourage breeders of dairy stock to make still greater exertions in their efforts to get the best animals that can be produced In view of the fact that ours i,s pre-eminently a dairy State this is a consummation great ly to be desired. Diseases of Cattle. Of the losses which have &een suffered for want of adequate measures for the cure and prevention of cattle diseases, the Boston Herald says: "For more than a thousand years these contagious cattle diseases have ravaged the herds of the old world. They have followed the track oi armies, and spread over western Europe with every great general war, from the irruption of the Huns upon Rome, A. D. 375, to the recent Franco-German contest, after which both belligerent countries suffered severely. After the taking of Paris, in the recent war with Germany, the cattle plague anticipated the wants of the inhabitants in destroying the animals set apart for their relief, for, out of 10,000 to 12,000 reserved for them, 800 died in a single day and night. From 1711 to 1769 the disease destroyed over 200,000,000 head of cattle in Europe— from 1793 to 1796, from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 head in Italy alone, and in 1872 it destroyed 800,000 head of beet kine in E^ypt, while in Great Britain, in 1865-66, it proved fatal to 500,000 head. The extinction of the contagion by the slaughter of the diseased raisers of the United States, lt is to be hoped that Congress will not fail to adopt some measures like those embodied in Mr. Lef«vre's bill, which will insure a constant exportation of whole?ale meat and protect fort-ign herds trom the dangers of contagious diseases from among the cattle on this Bide of tbe Atlantic.

He plowed with lt till noon, andwhen he went out he had broken his halter, and was down and could not stand on his feet lie drew his breath hard, legs and feet cold, pulse was weak. We let him lay till morning and lalsed him in a swing and let htm staud two days, and his legs swelled very bad, and was cold. vr.it. o.

In tbe Faemkb of March 16th I see a mare described by J. O. R. as gotstg blind by spells. I have a horveln the tame condition. You recommend blistering, repeated ten days. What do you blister with, how large a blister, and do you blister more thau ln one place. P. E. J. Seward, Neb. For a blister use canthartdes one ounce, and spirits of turpentine one pint; blister under the eye, and of course on thesame place. Yon pethaps use the powder so often recommended in tbe Fjibmkb.

What can be done for the animal? - E. L. B. Ilyour neighbor'- mule is burned internally to the extent that he is swollen npon the outside, he must be deaa about this time. If only burned externally, take lime water and linseed oil, two-thirds lime water; some nse them half and half; use once or twice per day. . . fiber, is In an eminent degree indigestible, of course after the peri.ta'tlo action ol etiner of the fonr organs composing the digestive apparatus ls tnspended, digestion ceases, especially if of the rumin or first organ. If you gave any kind of oil except croton, together with some dlfiusible stimulant, that would arouse the action of the rumin he would most likely have thrown up the quid and digested the food hard as lt was to digest. You are the party who poisoned your ram. Your first dose of croton oil would have killed any two sheep npon your place; 15 to 25 drops is a dose for a horse, half tbe amount you gave him was enough to kill him making 3o drops in all. I would not give the price of their wool for any four sheep upon your place after **5 drops of the mean drug had been divided and given them. If you look on page 400 of Navin's Veterinary Piactlce or Explanatory Stock Doctor you will see that 15 to 25 drops Is a. flose for a horse." If you had the book you would not have killed your valuable ram. RllSb Perkins, E»c.I«- locomotive Traction ^artne, made by Bade Ibdslne Works.

In 1R43 and in l&W it was • brought to Brooklyn, New York, and in 1847 to New Jersey, by English cattle, and m 1859 to Massachusetts by an importation of Dutch cattle. In the last named State, a commission was appointed with power to isolate every afflicted herd and to kill every diseased animal, ahd the commissioners finally stamped out the disease, after six years of patient labor and the slaughter ot 1,164 cattle that were diseased er had been liable to contagion from contactwith those which had died oi the plague.

To B. F. M«gee. Montmorency, Ind.: Your sheep bad a disease called foot-roS, which with proper treatment wonH have recovered. Ypq did wrong, however, In bruising the canal too hard a sheep yon know ls the mest tender of all animals of the farm. , This, however, was »ot' the Immediate canse of her death; she died of hydrothorax, dropsy of tbe chest. Whether this was Bnper'ndnced by an Inflammation of the foot reaching to the pleura or not, I am not prepared to say, but am prepared to say that the sernm found In the thorax was secreted by the pleura, and of course the lungs were affected, A . before remarked, a sheep Is a curious, tender animal, and' very snscep'lble of inflammation, being transmitted from one organ to another, an1 decompose quite rapidly. ; Your ram was not poisoned; he ate too much of that dead grass, and which Is almost Indigestible; like any hug chewed cornstalks, any green herb, grass, vegetable, from which the sap. oil, shgar, Btarch.etc, are extracted, nothing leltbutthewoody Stifled Colt. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a valuable two year old colt that was stifled two months ago. I thought lt was ln the hip Joint ur til the last two weeks. I am now satisfied that lt ls stilled, 1 have had a stifled shoe pnt on lt whlth caused It to throw a great deal of weight on the stilled leg.hut I ft-ar lt has trone too long to De brought back right In that way. When the colt happens to get down on tbe lame side lt cannot get up. When down could the leg be pulled ln its proper place? Scbsceibkb. A man who would order you to put that barbarous article, a stifle shoe, op yonr horse should be in the the asylum. It is too cruel for the dark ages ol the rack, the bastllo and thumbrcrew. How wonld the fellow having a sprained knee or ankle like to be compelled to stand npon and use the limb, beside it does no good. If yonr horse's patella Is thrown out. he cannot stand upon the limb at all. If the patella ls turned outward, the limb would be turned in front ofthe other. If thrown inward the limb will poise outward. If held straight nnder, or natural his stifle ls not out at all. If out, put a rope round the pastern and pull forward. If Inward, pull outward and forward. If thrown outward, pull Inward and forward. Then push the patella into Its place with the hands and hold lt there; pull off that miserable shoe as quick as you can, and never be Induced tousea thing ofthe kind. If not stifled, search for some heat or tenderness. II heat nse cold water and tlnctnre'of arnica, if only soreness blister. Taking osTWartss. Editoss Indiana Farieer. Please tell me how to take a wart off of a horse's 02 e-lld. It Is about the s'ze of a silver dollar, and one-eighth of an Inch thick, and thin around the edsre. What will break a liorpe kicking In the stall, when I tl* him so that he cannot reach the wall behind him, he will kick ihe sides'-, What quantity of meal will equal 10 ears of corn? s. H. The wart must be cut off and if below the eye put arsenic acid upon it to kill Its fibers TJse once per day for a few days. If above the eye you must not nse the arsenic, for it would destroy the eye; better to burn alter cutting. To cure him of kicking take an inch and a quarter rope, throw it abont his neck, knot It before his breast, throw the loose ends between his forelegs and knot or fasten them ronnd his hind legs. Keep it up by a surc'ngle about the body. That depends on the sire of the 10 ears. Shell the corn and weigh It is the nearest way to approximate results. -fsrellfd In Knots, Editors Indiana Farmer I have a two year old colt that In last September swelled all over in knots or lumps from the size of a peatothatormy two hands. I had him bled;he bas not swollen up slnce.but is continually rubbing himself. He never ls sick; eats well, and appears well In every other respect only that of continually rubbing. w'.

They have never reccommended a traction engine to the public before this year, though they were among the very first to commence experimenting with them, feeling that those Sreviously made were not up to the standard that they could bring them to. But now in 1880 they produce snch an engine that any State in the Union W'^uld bo proud to have produced. This engine is absolutely perfect.
