Address JOHN M. REEL, Vincennes. Indiana. In answer to the question, "What do you estimate the annu-,1 cost of raising sheep per head to bt?" propoundtd to 71 different correspondents by the commissioner of agriculture of Tennessee, the cost is variously estimated at from 25c to f2. Several of the correspondents put it at SOc and 33c. Four answers from Sumner county put it respectively ?1,11 25, Jl 50 and ?2. __m As showing the value of one fine horse and after all how cheap comparatively a good horse is,we may mention that Messrs. E. Dillon & Co., Bloomington, 111., have sold horses which were their own breeding, and sired by St. Laurent, (a cut of which is given on this page,) to the amount of $27,- 000, and with the other product of this one hpj-geadctod, ,Jhe Messrs. Dillon have realized over ,590,000. -. The trouble with most persons who keep horses, no matter whether on farm for farm work, or for driving purposes, is they feed too much hay; and to this cause can be attributed the general sluggishness often manifested by the horses until they have been working a couple of hours, while the wind is also much impaired. Night is the only time when hay should be fed, especially to animals used for quick work. Even the snow plow team should have but little bay at tbe morning and noon feeds, but give tbem a generous supply at the evening meal. FOR SALE—A Sue lot of thoroughbred Short-horn cattle, including cows and heifers, some of them tine show animals and ready for the show ring; also very fine bull calves to go at weaning.

In Ontario the crop ls also turning out satisfactorily ln many sections. The quality of Early Bose and Chili grown In the vicinity of this city Is remarkably fine and the yie.d large." Norman Horses. For many centuries this noble breed of horses has been thoroughly appreciated in parts oi Eurepe. They are called Norman horeea because they were bred inNormandy and existed there a distinct breed for many years before they became scattered throughout the other districts in France. They are now known by various names peculiar to the departments in which they are found. In Boulogne, they are known as Boulonnais; In Normandy, as Augerons; in Picardy, as Vimeux; and in Artois and French Flanders, as Hammonds. They are all descendant of Norman race, to which they are indebted for all their good qualities as draft horses. There are various other names by which Norman horses are known in France, but the families we have named are the most renowned in commerce. Draft horses are valuble in proportion to their size, being equal in other respects. Size, with the proper form, is the most difficult thing to preserve in any breed of domestic animals; it is Indispensable in draft horses, for without it we could not perpetuate and improve the race. A horse that weighs 1,800 pounds will sell in France ior double the money that the same quality of a horse weighing 1,400 pounds will sell for. The same may be said of horses in this country. It is true, that there will always be a demand for light draft horses, aud past experience has proved that in breeding lor the largest we are sure to get small animals enongh for all practical purposes. We have had a fair demonstration of this in the Canadian horses. The heavy Norman horses, introduced into Canada by the early French settlers, were bred pure for many generations; and, although they retained all the characteristics of their ancestors in every other respect, in size they degenerated down to mere ponies. From the experience of our Canadian friends we may learn a valuable lesson, a_.d by a judicious course oi breeding we may avoid the .mistake that they have made. By selecting OLly the largest and most perfect animals In the Norman family for breeding purposes, we may be able to breed them up - to a standard of excellence even beyond that which they now possess. French draft horses are generally known throughout the world as Norman horses. It is the name that was given to the renowned heavy draft horses in Normandy many centuries ago, and has been handed- down from generation to generation until the present time. J. H. Walsh, a reliable Euglish author, say-.: "The Norman horse has been celebrated for ages as the type, ot horse, for the purpose of show and utility combined; with a fine, upstanding forehand, he unites a frame of the most massive proportions, and this is molded ia a form as elegant as is consistent with his enormous power. * * * Their country woman, Rosa Bonheur, has made this variety of horses familiar to most of my readers, and I need not, therefore, trouble, myself to_describe them minutely. * » * The Norman horse is large, powerful, sufficiently active and very hardy." The same writer says: "We may hope' still to be able to maintain our supremacy in horses intended for tbe race course or the hunting field; but as far as lean learr, the French cavalry are gradually obtaining a class of animals bred out of their lightest and stoutest Norman maie?,crossed with a thoroughbred horse of pure English blood, some imported direct, and others • bred with great eare in France, The produce are of good size, very hardy, and possessed of excellent legs and feet; indeed, in every way calculated for troop horses; and, should our cavalry ever come in contact with them, and any advantage is to be gained, it must be through superior horsmanship alone." Youatt, a reliable English writer, says: "The best French horses are bred in Normandy and Limousin. * * * Tne Norman horses are now much crossed by our hunters, and occasionally by the thoroughbred and the English roadster and light draft horses have not suffered by a mixture with the Norman." The same author says: "The Norman carriers travel with a team of four horses, and from fourteen to twentj-two miles in a day, with a load ol ninety hundred weight." Professor Magne, in speaking of these horses, under the name of Boulonnaise, saj!-: "There are ne horses in the world that can be compared to tbem in formation, in good qualities, in endurance and energy. Professor Sanson, of the Agricultural School of Griguon, in France, speaking of these horses, sajs: "They have a vigorous constitution, and, in point of strength, they are a Hercules among horses. They are as gentle as they are strong, are renowned for their docility, and,for so heavy animals, are free and quick in their movements; they are endowed with a vigor and energy which are reflected in their resolute but gentle glance. * * * They have not their < quals in the world." A correspondent of the Albany Cultivator, writing from Paris, made special mention of the animal he employed to convey him through the country, and calls him "the stout Norman stallion." He says: "The general character and appearance of the Norman horse is too well known to need any particular description. Strength and endurance are their distinguishing features, to which, surprising as it may seem, is generally joined docility." Mr. Henry S. Randall, a well-known agriculturist, sayB of the Canadian horse: "In form, they display,in a marked manner, the characteristics of the Norman race; so, too, in their general qualities, though considerably smaller." Mr. Herbert, a reliable writer says: "With the one solitary exception of the Norman horse in Canada, no special breeds have taken root as such, or been bred, or attempted to be bred, in their purity, in any part of America. In Canada East, the Norman horse, imported by the early settlers, was bred pure for many generations entirely unmixed, and as a general agricultural horse of the province exists yet, stunted in size by the cold .climate and rough usage to which he has been subjected for centuries, but in no wise degenerated, for he possesses all the honesty, courage, endurance,hardihood,soundnessof constitution, and characteristic excellence of feet and legs, of his progenitors." Mr. Edward Harris, Morristown, New Jersey, who traveled extensively in France and imported a number of Norman horses to the United States, in answer to inquiries concerning French draft horses, says: "I refer you to an article upon the Norman horse written by an Englishman and published in the British Quarterly Journal ot Agriculture,in which the writer says: 'The horses of Normandy are a capital race for hard work and scanty fare. I have never seen such horses at the collar, under the diligence, the post-carriage, the cumbrous and heavy voiture or cabriolet, for one or two horses, or on the farm. They are enduring aud energetic beyond description; with their neck cut to the bone, they flinch not; they put forth all their efforts at the voice of the driver, or at tlie dread sound of the whip; they keep their condition when other horses would die of neglect and hard treatment. A better cross for some of our horses cannot be imagined than those of Normandy.'" .. This department ls edited by Sr. John N. Navin, Veterinary Surgeon, anthor ot Navin's Explanatory Stock Doctor.

An old man at the New Boss fair last week became fascinated with one of, the numerous games of chance on the grounds and concluded to "try his luck." So he pulled out a well-filled pocket- book and proceeded to pick out a bill to invest in "chips." The enterprising dealer no sooner saw the wad of bills than he snatched them from the old man's hands and escaped through the crowd. Tae old man will probably never see that ii oaey again, but his ex_ eriencemay be worth something to him. Siok Colt. Editors Indiana Farmer: One of my neighbois has a colt one year old that has difficulty some where in the region of back or hind legs; eats hearty; when it lies down can't get up without assistance; gets up on its fore-legs, then as it attempts to rise, falls over. Is losing flesh, bowels are open, passes a redish urine as soon as it gets up. Your colt has an affection of the kidneys. Give him aloes in powder, one ounce, podophyllin, 20 grains. Blister the loins over the kidneys. Danger of Eupture. Editors Indiana Farmer: There are two horses in this country that have been trimmed and are well, but they both look as if they might have a seed left. It don't appear to hurt the horses in any way, except the sale of them. What is the cause and is there any remedy? D. J. If your horses are not troublesome they are not injured in the least. The cause is a lodgment of secretion, consequent upon the operation. If so, they may be cut out. Rupture is the only danger you have to fear. ' Blister It. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a lame horse. I see several cases and cures in your paper but none like mine. My hoise got his ankle scratched on a barbed wire fence, fore foot, just above hoof, back side. I put carbolic acid on it. He took the scratches. It has been about six weekssincehe got hurt. Thecord between the knee and ankle is not swollen any; after traveling will hold up his foot, is all right otherwise. J. A. P. In the first place put a top rail on your fence, else you will have many such cases. The best thing you can do for your horse is to blister it. See blister so often prescribed in the Indiana Fakmer, Possibly a Tumor. Editors Indiana Farmer: My mule is four years old; pulse, breathing, standing altitude and hair are all right as far as I can see. No cough nor secretion from the nose, but her ears are loose and fallen. She raises them quickly when frightened, but carries them low and sluggish. More wax in them than in others; takes spells of shaking her head as though something hurt her; has been in this way for some time; is in good condition and works well. Subscriber. It is evident that your mule lops its ears at will, having the power of erecting them at will. The cause may be a tumor, one in each. ear, or the animal may being bad health, or its brain may be affected; nobody at this distance can inform you. Bad Cough. Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a young mare of good stock that has a very"bad cough; coughs often when I am using her on the road, and also when she is in the stable. I first thought it was distemper, but it has continued so long that I am feariul it is something else. She eats hearty, and don't seem to fall off much, if any. I have fed her on dry feed until new hay, then I fed some clover hay and new timothy, and good corn. M. P. B. Search between your mare's jaws below the throat-latch, and if the submaxillary glands are not enlarged, Bize of a hickory nut, give her the medicine recommended to Mr, S. D. in this issue of the Farmer to which add one ounce indigo and one of Spanish brown. If she runs at the nose and the glands are enlarged, write me for other remedy. Kidneys Affected. .Editors Indiana Farmer: Please tell me what ails my horse. He has been afflicted, perhaps "in loins, or urinary organs, for about a year. He has a wabbling, straddling gait; seems to be quite weak; was not over-worked or anything ofthe kind; came on him very slowly. Done nothing for him but to give him one pint ol sweet spirits of nitre. He is five years old; fat, and looks well, and feels good; weighs 1,400 pounds. S. IX Most likely yonr horse's kidneys are affected; if so, give him the following: Flour of sulphur, bloodroot, black antimony, sulphate of iron and resin of each two ounces, pulv. nitre and ground ginger of each four ounces; mix. Dose, one spoonful three times per day. Blister his back with Spanish fly, one ounce, spirits of turpentine, •one pint; rub in well with the hand once per day until highly blistered. * - Tumors. ■• Editors Indiana Farmer: I have a nice young horse which has a lump on every leg except one fore one. The ones on the two hind legs are each on the outside about six inches above the pastern joint, and both been formed inside of two months. I think one was caused by a kick and the other caused by him getting tangled in a wire clothes line, wllich must have cut to the bone before it broke. The tnird and largest one is on the outside of the right knee, is about the size of a walnut, hard as bone, and has always been there. This one I'm afraid cannot be removed, but the other two I think can. J, Q. R. I fear yon let your animal run too long for the removal of either; the one in long standing if soft must be cut out, having formed a sack which after opening soon fills. If hard it must De cut away, and you may first try blistering twice daily until sore, then once daily for 10 or 12 days, then grease; treat all the tumors alike. Sick Sheep. Editors Indiana Farmer: Two ol my neighbors have something the matter with their sheep; several have died. They have scours, the wool slips off over the region of the kidneys, and they droop around and die. An examination after death shows the lungs and heart to be in a sound, healthy condition, but the liver rotten, and the stomach congested and inflamed, and mortification of the walls of the abdomen, which extends tothe outside, and doubtless causes the shedding of wool. There was a man who threatened to poison them. Is it poison, or some disease? A Reader, I do not suppose that your sheep have been poisoned except by some herb. Give your remaining sheep ten drops of spirits of turpentine in oil or grease; repeat ln a few days, or use podophyllin, 15 grains, which repeat if necessary. Sheep are more subject to liver affections than any other animal, especially on wet or malarious pastures. i 4 ?. BAILBOAD ITEMS. Our railroad companies ought to be satisfied with the amount of business that is now offered them. Both freight and passenger traffic is reported as excellent and still improving. 8. F. Boyd, E-q., has recently resigned the position of Gen'l Ticket Agent of the I., D. and 8. railroad to accept a position in the passenger department of the Chicago, Alton and 8t. Louis railroad. He proved himself, while here, a courteous and efficient officer, whose presence we regret to lose. Superintendent E. W. McKenna, of the J., M. aud I. railroad, discharged a train crew on that road last week for getting drunk while on duty. Superintendent Williams, of the C, H. and I., visited the same punishment on some employes of that line, for a similar oflence. Temperate habits are at a premium among railroad officials. The indications now are that the harvest of 1880, like the harvests of 1879 and 1878, will take its place with the heaviest ever gathered in the United States-, ~i and that its total yield will not be ex- fi ceeded by that of either of the other J years named.—Philadelphia Bulletin. ■"Kit

As showing the value of one fine horse
and after all how cheap comparatively a
good horse is,we may mention that Messrs.
E. Dillon & Co., Bloomington, 111., have
sold horses which were their own breeding,
and sired by St. Laurent, (a cut of which is
given on this page,) to the amount of $27,-
000, and with the other product of this one
hpj-geadctod, ,Jhe Messrs. Dillon have realized over ,590,000. -.
The trouble with most persons who keep
horses, no matter whether on farm for farm
work, or for driving purposes, is they feed
too much hay; and to this cause can be attributed the general sluggishness often
manifested by the horses until they have
been working a couple of hours, while the
wind is also much impaired. Night is the
only time when hay should be fed, especially to animals used for quick work.
Even the snow plow team should have but
little bay at tbe morning and noon feeds,
but give tbem a generous supply at the
evening meal.
FOR SALE—A Sue lot of thoroughbred Short-horn
cattle, including cows and heifers, some of them
