S S» . -■ The preliminary steps have already been taken for the .holding of a world's ' fair in Xew York city, in*1883. Mr. Richard Hawley, Gsodricb, Ontario, Canada, has a Short-horn bull which at 3 years old weighed 2,270 pounds. In six months and ten days, from September last to April, he gained -110 pounds, or about 2.i pounda per day. This animal, which Mr. Hav, ley has named Beaconsfield, took the first prize in the ring ofthe Western fair in London, Ontario, last fall. * Mr. Wm. Baker, North Maditon, Ind., sheared thirty sheep, 19 ewes—these ewes had 23 lambs—9 yearlings and two aged bucks from which he obtained 348\i pounds of wool. In July last he sheared from seven of the yearlings, then lambs, 34 pounds, which belongs to this spring's crop, making 382J4 pounds. He sheared from a pair ot twins 13 months old. 1&M ivmmji-- TMs makes »n »~«>«age of a fraction lees than Viy. pounds to the sheep. Mr. B. sends us a sample of wool from a three- year-old ewe which is very fine. Editors Indiana Farmer We sheared our sheep yesterday. We have 12 high grade Cotswolds which sheared 126 pounds, an average of 10J4 pounds. Our flock is composed of one yearling buck, full blooded Cotswold, two yearlings, eight two-year-olds, one three- year-old ewe, with 11 lambs. We have one lamb that weighed at six weeks old 52 pounds. Is that an average for Bcrubs? W.S. A. Coxs* Mills, Wayne Co. .—«_ — » Sheep Shearing. Editors Indiana Farmer: Xow is the time for heavy fleeces on paper, and the time to impose on the credulous Western farmer by the agents and advocates of designing men to sell seme worthless breed of sheep. To do this all that is necessary to do is to publish a weight of fleece that never has been obtained among the breed. This is the bait that generally catches the fish. Some agents state the weight of the sheep and put it low, with an enormous weight of fleece, while others fabricate both carcass and wool. One writer states that a yearling ewe weighing 64 pounds,yielded a fleece weighing lb% pounds, nearly one-iourth her carcass weight after being shorn, and over one-fifth iis weight before shearing. But as he haa not stated what breed this sheep ls of, or how many pounds of washed wool the fleece would yield, we will wait patiently for facts, with the remark that we would feel quite happy to see a sheep of any breed whose fleece weighs one-fourth the weight of her Carcass, the wool being free from yock and dirt. If tbis is so I shall cheerfully acknowledge Ignorance. Another writer tells US that his ram, a I Merino, yielded 2? pounds and one ounce j ln 365 days, that is 433 ounces, which is a little more than an ounce and one-fifth of au ounce per day. Wool, not greasy yock »nd dirt, is what the farmer wants; wool being the only thing he can sell. Will that gentleman wash his ram's fleece and stato its weight. Ho seems to be particular to an (,unce. Not one ram ot tbat breed will grow hall an ounce of clean, dry wool per day for one year. That you see is 365 half ounces, 182M our.ee*, almost 11J^ pounds. I venture that the fleece alluded to will not make over ten pounds of clean wool. If I know anything or the most profitable sheep for the West, they must be found among the following breed),: Tbe Downs, Shropshire?, Cotswolds, Leicesters and Lincolns. Horns, yock and dirt will not pay well. Vermont farmers can no longer cajole the Western farmers twice in a generation with the miserable, little worthless sfeeep. Wool and mutton aire preferable to horns, grease, diit and a mixture of wool. John N. Navies. then.

Until within a few years past, seard pound of fresh beef or a single fat bull was exported from America to Great B ain, as it had been thought, up to tl period, these products could not be plai there in a fit condition for the consumpti of the fastidious islanders.

First or Second Stage of Glanders. Editors Indiana Farmer: My mvtlr has had a light cough since the mills, head blocks and all, but are some smaller. It has four feeds; friction and idler pulleys are filled with paper, or "gasket board," though expensive to make they last much longer than wood; most of the large and best mills now use this. The ■ mill frame is five feet by eight feet six inches tquare; sides and center pieces are wood with cast iron ends. Saw-mandrel is six feet ten inches long by three inches in diameter, and extends to an outside bearing which places the drive pulley outside of mill. The new Meniere head block movement is used on the mill, which is the same block as used on the best and largest mills in the United States. This size mill is sufficiently large to attach a "top rig" at any time, which makes a complete "double mill" sufficiently strong to attach a large eBgine to. If such an amount of work should be desired to be done,, a 10- horse power engine is guaranteed to operate a 50 inch saw satisfactorily through any kind of timber. A 12-horse is guaranteed to operate a 54 inch saw through any kind of timber on this mill. This establishment builds more circular saw-mills than any house in the United States. For prices or further information address them. portion of the milk ducts, which, from whatever cause, retain a morbid secretion, not of milk but of serum, which is readily irritated into an inflammation, the heat of which is eertain to coagulate the milk into either a thick, smooth mass or into a curdy one; thus to alleviate the difficulty the aforesaid morbid secretion must be got rid of.

Editors Indiana Farmer: In a very few days the census enumerator will call upon every man in the United' States. Every industry and trade is going to do its level best to show MixandgWeonVVeas-^^ in a I multitude of directions. Our last census I was taken after a decade of war; in the Mr. John M. Bailey, Winning Farm, Billeriea, Mass., inlorms us tnat he is now (April '24) feeding his milch cows, and ewes with lambs, exclusively upon corn fodder ensilaged in September last. His silos were opened Det*mber 3, and the preservation of the fodder is as perfect now as bagan to ad\ ance rapidly in Great Britaltl and the neighboring countries of Esirop*.,' Irom which »•-« w-a iong drawn ample supplies for her wants over and above her own productions, while a depression took place to some extent in America. This prompted a few of our enterprising dealers in fresh beef and fat bullocks .to make the experiment of exportation Hhither. These, at first, owing to the imperfect refrigeration of the compartn ents on board ship for the preservation of fresh meat, and lack of comfortable accommodation iorllve cattle, together with some other causes, more often resulted in a loss than profit. But the pioneers in this business persevered with the accustomed American pluck, rapidly introducing one improvement after another, till the exportatlons increased during the past fiscal year, ending June 3t, 1879, to 54,025,832 pounds of fresh beel valued at #_,88:*,080; and 136,720 hillock.)! valued at 98,879,200—the whole product bet ing $13,272,280. A \ Had it not been for the British orders \__ council, prohibiting considerable iniportal tions of livo cattle, on account of supposed disease, American exportations would have beeu much larger, and we have every lea- son to believe they w ill be soon doubled, il not trebled. They certainly will, if nothing untoward occurs in this new business-. In fact, it promises so largely and profitable in the future, that ships are now fitting up expressly for the transportation of fresh meats and live hniinals of all domestic kinds, not only to the United Kingdom, but also to France, Belgium, Holland, and Denmark, and in due time the exportation will probably be extended to other parts of Europe. The introduction of fresh beef from America into England met at first with great opposition on the put of many there, and especially of the butchers, who, like the silversmiths of Ephetus of old, saw "their craft in danger." Provoking accounts of this have appeared in the Euglish papeis; but the following, from a corre- spondent of the London Times, being rather amusing, I copy it to show the American reader how he was treated by his butcher aud grocei! "Some lime since large quantities of American beef began to be imported, jutt at a time when English beef was reaching almost famine prices. I know a family in this town, oi good potition, who, after much anxious thought, and weighing all the chances of being poisoned, etc., timorously resolved one day to try this American beef. Unfortunately the servants heard of the great experiment. The joint —a fine one—was duly served; the family ate and liked it. They are still alive. But would you believe it, sir, not one of the four servants would touch it! Lat us not be too hard on the servants. I would not try it myself for more than a year after the first importations. Everybody knows that Wo cau get as good a joint in New York as ln London, but I feared the voyage might injure it." • • To put au end to these nefarious transactions, the importers decided on having public sales of their meat. This brought it directly to the knowledge of the people, who upon trial finding it equal to their own, a steadily increasing market sprung up for it, and now fresh American beef, mutton, pork, and poultry sell as freely abiojid, and at as high prices, as the choicest European.—Cor.

Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a young mare that has been losing flesb, seemed sick, sweat freely, occasional cough, quit shedding, appetite began to fall entirely; lately began running at the nose yellowish and thick matter; pulse quick, breathing heavy. Subscriber. All the symptoms you describe would indicate glai-derf, only oue more symptom is wanting, that is enlargement of the submaxillary glands, from which the disease deiives its name. If many in the vicinity are affected similarly the best you can do is to combine and have our veterinary surgeon go and examine jour horses, lest if the disease is glanders somebody may contract the fearful disease by inoculation. Dr. Navin was called to Knox county a few wieks ago and found 27 cases in one neighborhood, and thinks he can cure at least 20 out of tbe 27. Some were ordered shot instantly. It Was Glanders, **£dItors Indiana Farmer: Horse sick about 10 dayp; first noticed cougb, then stiffness; pulse 60; breath very fetid; discharge from nostrils, colored somewhat; after death chest filled with offensive matter resembling plum juice; also trachaea contained some matter; breathing was quick and laboied. R. A. M. Your horse died of one of two diseases, hydrothorax (dropsy of the chest) or glanders. It must be the latter, from the fact turmoil of arms, doubtless educational, industrial and commercial pursuits and enterprises bad lagged. Not so now. The decade of phonographs, Mississippi Jetties and Electrie Light wiil blaze as no decade can that ante-dates it. The whole world resounds with our glory, and she is sending her hundreds of thousands to share it. Now, if we desire that husbandry shall acquit itself well in this great -summing up, let us wake up. We will be asked all about last year's corn, wheat, oats, sheep, hogs, cattle, etc. We sorely neea all tne statistics appertaining to our farms we can get. Heretofore there has been a deal of guess work among up. when called on for these statistics, and the figures have not been nearly so reliable as the showing of other pursuits. Now let us remedy this matter; let us have the bushels and pounds and gallons and tons all ready. Let us swell it every grain, drop and straw we can, to barely come short of doing violence to truth. However " truth is mighty " and "crushed to earth, will rise again." We are peculiarly fortunate, since the devotees of. some pursuits laber at great disadvantage to get their facts and figures in readiness. On the other hand we are peculiarly negligent, since many of us keep no account of our operations on the farm whatever. This is bad. An editor, or merchant, or physician, or miller that would do to we would fear to deal with. Do we uot desire the figures to show that we have at least kept pace with the increase of population, with mining aud manufacturing? If we do we must be ready, be careful,aud letting truth be the target, aim at the very upper edge of it. Hugo, Ills. A. C. W. Our Dog Law. Editors Indiana Farmer: In my opinion there is not a more tyrannical or unjust law to be found on the statute books of Indiana than our present dog law. This law compels every man to pay on au average a tax amounting to about five or ten times the value of the dog; and then, to make the matter still worte, as many will verify, the Irustee will pay that same stolen money out to men who have happened to loose sheep, by their own carelessness and disease. All the sheep that die no w- a-iiays, as a general rule, are (said to be killed by dogs, and are promptly paid for. I cannot see why this tax should ,. - | still be increased, when it already pays that in no other disease do the contents j for au the dead sheep aud leaves a large of the lungs pass out through the air passages through the nostrils. The fact of matter being found in the chest also "proves the case, for never does a horse die of suppurative glanders—not attended by .farcey, except when the substance of the lungs is broken through, eaten through, therefore the matter produced by the disease turning the substance of the lungs into matter passes out into the chest as soon as the lungs are pierced through by the disease, therefore death ensues in a few days, first causiug Inflammation. Hydrothorax is produced by an over secretion of the pleura, in the latter stage of pleurisy, but the secretion is ol a thin, bloody colored substance and not offensive. Look out for your other stock. There exists a mere chance of my being mistaken, but I think not. Pony Saw Mills. On this page is a cut of a circular Pony Saw-mill, made by the Eagle Machine Works, Indianapolis, Ind. These mills •are guaranteed to saw over 4,000 feet of lumber per day, with a 10 or 12-horse power engine. This mill is j ust like the best large revenue in the treasury for other pm« poses. Iu some ofthe counties of the State the tax would more than pay for all tbe Eheep in the county. The people should ask our Legislatuie to repeal this unjust pet law at once and give us instead laws based on justice and equal taxation, and if king sheep will not pay for his care and propagation as other stcck do without taxing the people to piotect him and his careless shepherd, then we say let him pass d»wn and out.

S S» . -■ The preliminary steps have already been taken for the .holding of a world's ' fair in Xew York city, in*1883. Mr. Richard Hawley, Gsodricb, Ontario, Canada, has a Short-horn bull which at 3 years old weighed 2,270 pounds. In six months and ten days, from September last to April, he gained -110 pounds, or about 2.i pounda per day. This animal, which Mr. Hav, ley has named Beaconsfield, took the first prize in the ring ofthe Western fair in London, Ontario, last fall. * Mr. Wm. Baker, North Maditon, Ind., sheared thirty sheep, 19 ewes—these ewes had 23 lambs—9 yearlings and two aged bucks from which he obtained 348\i pounds of wool. In July last he sheared from seven of the yearlings, then lambs, 34 pounds, which belongs to this spring's crop, making 382J4 pounds. He sheared from a pair ot twins 13 months old. 1&M ivmmji-- TMs makes »n »~«>«age of a fraction lees than Viy. pounds to the sheep. Mr. B. sends us a sample of wool from a three- year-old ewe which is very fine. Editors Indiana Farmer We sheared our sheep yesterday. We have 12 high grade Cotswolds which sheared 126 pounds, an average of 10J4 pounds. Our flock is composed of one yearling buck, full blooded Cotswold, two yearlings, eight two-year-olds, one three- year-old ewe, with 11 lambs. We have one lamb that weighed at six weeks old 52 pounds. Is that an average for Bcrubs? W.S. A. Coxs* Mills, Wayne Co. .—«_ — » Sheep Shearing. Editors Indiana Farmer: Xow is the time for heavy fleeces on paper, and the time to impose on the credulous Western farmer by the agents and advocates of designing men to sell seme worthless breed of sheep. To do this all that is necessary to do is to publish a weight of fleece that never has been obtained among the breed. This is the bait that generally catches the fish. Some agents state the weight of the sheep and put it low, with an enormous weight of fleece, while others fabricate both carcass and wool. One writer states that a yearling ewe weighing 64 pounds,yielded a fleece weighing lb% pounds, nearly one-iourth her carcass weight after being shorn, and over one-fifth iis weight before shearing. But as he haa not stated what breed this sheep ls of, or how many pounds of washed wool the fleece would yield, we will wait patiently for facts, with the remark that we would feel quite happy to see a sheep of any breed whose fleece weighs one-fourth the weight of her Carcass, the wool being free from yock and dirt. If tbis is so I shall cheerfully acknowledge Ignorance. Another writer tells US that his ram, a I Merino, yielded 2? pounds and one ounce j ln 365 days, that is 433 ounces, which is a little more than an ounce and one-fifth of au ounce per day. Wool, not greasy yock »nd dirt, is what the farmer wants; wool being the only thing he can sell. Will that gentleman wash his ram's fleece and stato its weight. Ho seems to be particular to an (,unce. Not one ram ot tbat breed will grow hall an ounce of clean, dry wool per day for one year. That you see is 365 half ounces, 182M our.ee*, almost 11J^ pounds. I venture that the fleece alluded to will not make over ten pounds of clean wool. If I know anything or the most profitable sheep for the West, they must be found among the following breed),: Tbe Downs, Shropshire?, Cotswolds, Leicesters and Lincolns. Horns, yock and dirt will not pay well. Vermont farmers can no longer cajole the Western farmers twice in a generation with the miserable, little worthless sfeeep. Wool and mutton aire preferable to horns, grease, diit and a mixture of wool. John N. Navies. then.

Until within a few years past, seard pound of fresh beef or a single fat bull was exported from America to Great B ain, as it had been thought, up to tl period, these products could not be plai there in a fit condition for the consumpti of the fastidious islanders.

Editors Indiana Farmer: The remedy given by you for scours in t>olts was tried, abd cured a case of 12 days standing with three doses. Please accept thanks. W. H. Peffley. First or Second Stage of Glanders. Editors Indiana Farmer: My mvtlr has had a light cough since the mills, head blocks and all, but are some smaller. It has four feeds; friction and idler pulleys are filled with paper, or "gasket board," though expensive to make they last much longer than wood; most of the large and best mills now use this. The ■ mill frame is five feet by eight feet six inches tquare; sides and center pieces are wood with cast iron ends. Saw-mandrel is six feet ten inches long by three inches in diameter, and extends to an outside bearing which places the drive pulley outside of mill. The new Meniere head block movement is used on the mill, which is the same block as used on the best and largest mills in the United States. This size mill is sufficiently large to attach a "top rig" at any time, which makes a complete "double mill" sufficiently strong to attach a large eBgine to. If such an amount of work should be desired to be done,, a 10- horse power engine is guaranteed to operate a 50 inch saw satisfactorily through any kind of timber. A 12-horse is guaranteed to operate a 54 inch saw through any kind of timber on this mill. This establishment builds more circular saw-mills than any house in the United States. For prices or further information address them. portion of the milk ducts, which, from whatever cause, retain a morbid secretion, not of milk but of serum, which is readily irritated into an inflammation, the heat of which is eertain to coagulate the milk into either a thick, smooth mass or into a curdy one; thus to alleviate the difficulty the aforesaid morbid secretion must be got rid of.

Editors Indiana Farmer: In a very few days the census enumerator will call upon every man in the United' States. Every industry and trade is going to do its level best to show MixandgWeonVVeas-^^ in a I multitude of directions. Our last census I was taken after a decade of war; in the Mr. John M. Bailey, Winning Farm, Billeriea, Mass., inlorms us tnat he is now (April '24) feeding his milch cows, and ewes with lambs, exclusively upon corn fodder ensilaged in September last. His silos were opened Det*mber 3, and the preservation of the fodder is as perfect now as bagan to ad\ ance rapidly in Great Britaltl and the neighboring countries of Esirop*.,' Irom which »•-« w-a iong drawn ample supplies for her wants over and above her own productions, while a depression took place to some extent in America. This prompted a few of our enterprising dealers in fresh beef and fat bullocks .to make the experiment of exportation Hhither. These, at first, owing to the imperfect refrigeration of the compartn ents on board ship for the preservation of fresh meat, and lack of comfortable accommodation iorllve cattle, together with some other causes, more often resulted in a loss than profit. But the pioneers in this business persevered with the accustomed American pluck, rapidly introducing one improvement after another, till the exportatlons increased during the past fiscal year, ending June 3t, 1879, to 54,025,832 pounds of fresh beel valued at #_,88:*,080; and 136,720 hillock.)! valued at 98,879,200—the whole product bet ing $13,272,280. A \ Had it not been for the British orders \__ council, prohibiting considerable iniportal tions of livo cattle, on account of supposed disease, American exportations would have beeu much larger, and we have every lea- son to believe they w ill be soon doubled, il not trebled. They certainly will, if nothing untoward occurs in this new business-. In fact, it promises so largely and profitable in the future, that ships are now fitting up expressly for the transportation of fresh meats and live hniinals of all domestic kinds, not only to the United Kingdom, but also to France, Belgium, Holland, and Denmark, and in due time the exportation will probably be extended to other parts of Europe. The introduction of fresh beef from America into England met at first with great opposition on the put of many there, and especially of the butchers, who, like the silversmiths of Ephetus of old, saw "their craft in danger." Provoking accounts of this have appeared in the Euglish papeis; but the following, from a corre- spondent of the London Times, being rather amusing, I copy it to show the American reader how he was treated by his butcher aud grocei! "Some lime since large quantities of American beef began to be imported, jutt at a time when English beef was reaching almost famine prices. I know a family in this town, oi good potition, who, after much anxious thought, and weighing all the chances of being poisoned, etc., timorously resolved one day to try this American beef. Unfortunately the servants heard of the great experiment. The joint —a fine one—was duly served; the family ate and liked it. They are still alive. But would you believe it, sir, not one of the four servants would touch it! Lat us not be too hard on the servants. I would not try it myself for more than a year after the first importations. Everybody knows that Wo cau get as good a joint in New York as ln London, but I feared the voyage might injure it." • • To put au end to these nefarious transactions, the importers decided on having public sales of their meat. This brought it directly to the knowledge of the people, who upon trial finding it equal to their own, a steadily increasing market sprung up for it, and now fresh American beef, mutton, pork, and poultry sell as freely abiojid, and at as high prices, as the choicest European.—Cor.

Subscriber. All the symptoms you describe would indicate glai-derf, only oue more symptom is wanting, that is enlargement of the submaxillary glands, from which the disease deiives its name. If many in the vicinity are affected similarly the best you can do is to combine and have our veterinary surgeon go and examine jour horses, lest if the disease is glanders somebody may contract the fearful disease by inoculation. Dr. Navin was called to Knox county a few wieks ago and found 27 cases in one neighborhood, and thinks he can cure at least 20 out of tbe 27. Some were ordered shot instantly. It Was Glanders, **£dItors Indiana Farmer: Horse sick about 10 dayp; first noticed cougb, then stiffness; pulse 60; breath very fetid; discharge from nostrils, colored somewhat; after death chest filled with offensive matter resembling plum juice; also trachaea contained some matter; breathing was quick and laboied. R. A. M. Your horse died of one of two diseases, hydrothorax (dropsy of the chest) or glanders. It must be the latter, from the fact turmoil of arms, doubtless educational, industrial and commercial pursuits and enterprises bad lagged. Not so now. The decade of phonographs, Mississippi Jetties and Electrie Light wiil blaze as no decade can that ante-dates it. The whole world resounds with our glory, and she is sending her hundreds of thousands to share it. Now, if we desire that husbandry shall acquit itself well in this great -summing up, let us wake up. We will be asked all about last year's corn, wheat, oats, sheep, hogs, cattle, etc. We sorely neea all tne statistics appertaining to our farms we can get. Heretofore there has been a deal of guess work among up. when called on for these statistics, and the figures have not been nearly so reliable as the showing of other pursuits. Now let us remedy this matter; let us have the bushels and pounds and gallons and tons all ready. Let us swell it every grain, drop and straw we can, to barely come short of doing violence to truth. However " truth is mighty " and "crushed to earth, will rise again." We are peculiarly fortunate, since the devotees of. some pursuits laber at great disadvantage to get their facts and figures in readiness. On the other hand we are peculiarly negligent, since many of us keep no account of our operations on the farm whatever. This is bad. An editor, or merchant, or physician, or miller that would do to we would fear to deal with. Do we uot desire the figures to show that we have at least kept pace with the increase of population, with mining aud manufacturing? If we do we must be ready, be careful,aud letting truth be the target, aim at the very upper edge of it. Hugo, Ills. A. C. W. Our Dog Law. Editors Indiana Farmer: In my opinion there is not a more tyrannical or unjust law to be found on the statute books of Indiana than our present dog law. This law compels every man to pay on au average a tax amounting to about five or ten times the value of the dog; and then, to make the matter still worte, as many will verify, the Irustee will pay that same stolen money out to men who have happened to loose sheep, by their own carelessness and disease. All the sheep that die no w- a-iiays, as a general rule, are (said to be killed by dogs, and are promptly paid for. I cannot see why this tax should ,. - | still be increased, when it already pays that in no other disease do the contents j for au the dead sheep aud leaves a large of the lungs pass out through the air passages through the nostrils. The fact of matter being found in the chest also "proves the case, for never does a horse die of suppurative glanders—not attended by .farcey, except when the substance of the lungs is broken through, eaten through, therefore the matter produced by the disease turning the substance of the lungs into matter passes out into the chest as soon as the lungs are pierced through by the disease, therefore death ensues in a few days, first causiug Inflammation. Hydrothorax is produced by an over secretion of the pleura, in the latter stage of pleurisy, but the secretion is ol a thin, bloody colored substance and not offensive. Look out for your other stock. There exists a mere chance of my being mistaken, but I think not. Pony Saw Mills. On this page is a cut of a circular Pony Saw-mill, made by the Eagle Machine Works, Indianapolis, Ind. These mills •are guaranteed to saw over 4,000 feet of lumber per day, with a 10 or 12-horse power engine. This mill is j ust like the best large revenue in the treasury for other pm« poses. Iu some ofthe counties of the State the tax would more than pay for all tbe Eheep in the county. The people should ask our Legislatuie to repeal this unjust pet law at once and give us instead laws based on justice and equal taxation, and if king sheep will not pay for his care and propagation as other stcck do without taxing the people to piotect him and his careless shepherd, then we say let him pass d»wn and out.
