We had the pleasure of meetine Prof.
C. C. Oeorgeeon, late associate editor of
the Rural New Yorker, at the Tippecanoe County fair last week. He was on
his way to assume the duties of Professor
of Agriculture iu the Texas Agricultural
College, to which he has recently been
appointed. He was visitingProf. Ingersoll, of Purdue University. In compliance with a promise he made us, our
readers may expect to read occasional
letters from him after reaching his Texas

The first trial of sheep dogs ia this country is to take place at Philadelphia, next
month, in connection with the Pennsylvania State Fair. Each dog -will be required to take five sheep from a pen, drive
them a certain distance and pen them.
The shepherd may follow or precede the
sheep, but he will not be allowed te assist
the dog, though he can command him by
voice or gesture.

districts without exposure to cattle in infected districts, would be allowed to land
here free from requirements of slaughter
at the place of debarkation. But as the
matter now stands, although it is undoubtedly true that our country has the healthiest
cattle in the world,as the disease does exist
in a few places about some of our seaboard
cities, and as our government has no provision whatever to deal with it, or any department or ( fflcer to fix its locality, or to
communicate intelligently with the authorities here in regard to it, we cannot hope
for a removal or modification of existing
restrictions,tbough the present government
is favorably disposed, if we pun give them
any reasonable ground tojustify a change."
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I Jliave seen no mention of Davon cattle

When they shear sheep in Australia they
mean business, as may be imagined, when
the flocks aggregate over 200,000 head.
There are some proprietors who own more
than 500,000 sheep. Edoes & Co., New
South Wales, upon one sheep farm at
Burrawary, had a sheep shearing which
lasted ten weeks, and was concluded early
in December, during which time no less
than 206,123 sheep were shorn. To do this
work 100 shearers, besides the regular farm
hands, were employed.
Some gentlemen from Delaware county,
Ohio, last week returned from Scotland
with a very fine lot of Clydesdale horses.
Most of them are two years old.two are three
year olds, and three of them between the
ages of five and six years old. Thoy are
with the exception of one roan, a rich
dark bay. They are very heavily built,
with deep chests and massive necks and
shoulders. Their manes and tails are long
and thick and their legs are covered with
long shaggy hair. The length of the hair
on their legs is considered a strong point
in estimating their value. Their weights
range from 1,800 to 2,000 pounds. . They are
valued at from $2,000 to ?2,500 each.
MEDICAL    IHSPECTOB   OF   CATTLE   FOB
EXPOBT.
. Judge T. C. Jones, ot Ohio, -who Is now
in England, in a letter to the President on
the subject of English restrictions on American cattle exportations, says that a careful
examination satisfies him that pleuro-pneumonia prevails tar more among English
cattle than onr own. Of the thirty thousand cattle exported by us last year, only
38 were found diseased. But for the want
of any method here to discriminate on the
subject, our whole cattle interests are under English ban, and Judge Jones suggest
that the Treasury Department be authorized to appoint some prominent person
who shall be inspector of cattle for export,
and certify to their soundness. This seems
to be a wise suggestion, and ought to be
heeded. He say-: "I respectfully suggest
that the Treasury Department in;ly appoint a medical inspector—say Professor
Law, of Cornell, a gentleman favorably*,
known here—with authority to ascertain the
boundaries of the infected localities, and to
prescribe regulations tor the transit of the
stock from territory outside such districts to shipboard, and upon compliance
with such regulations by exporters and
shippers, to give certificates of health to all
such cargoes. I believe that stock, certified by such an officer to be free from dis-
ease,andto have been brought from healthy
JEBSEY BED SWINE.
Itis now quite well settled that this
breed of swine descended from the old
Berkshires, before the latter received their
present characteristics of color. Erect ears
and nervous appearances from the Berkshire cross with tha Siamese breed was referred to by Mr. A. B. Allen in bis prize
essay on Berkshires. The name Daroc,
whioh they have been known by, was purely local and arljitrsr**,ha\i!igbeen given ly
a Mr. Frink, when visiting the owner of
the celebrated horse Duroc, the sire of
Ellipse, in 1823, in Montgomery county,
N. Y., where Duroc was then owned by
Mr. Kelsey. Mr. Prink found some fine
red pigs there and buying them, in honor
to the horse, named them Durocs. It is
yet remembered by many that the Berkshires, before the cross mentioned by Mr.
Allen, were red or reddish brown frequently. So it is pretty conclusive that, taking
the original characteristics of the ' Berkshires into consideration, and comparing
these with the pronounced points in the
Jersey Reds, the latter had their origin in the Berkshires. This breed is greatly esteemed by many breeders and has
proven a valuable breed. An Eastern
breeder mentions the following weights ot
this Breed in several lots named:
18 hogs dressed average —• 70S lbs
21 hogs dressed average fSSS los
23 hogs dressed average. 711 lbs
16 hogs dressed average - 625 lbs
21 hogs dressed average _. 5**** lbs
51 hogs dre3sed average 520 lbs
25 hogs dressed average 524 lbs
4 pigs e'ght months and seven days 434 lbs
11 pigs ten months old a single titter 345 lbs
30 pigs six and one-half months old averaged. 28.. lbs
20 pigs eight months old averaged - 306 lbs
50 pigs ten months old averaged  384 'bs
Mr. H. S. Hill, Lagrange, Ohio, who formerly bred three other breeds, is so well
pleased with his past several years experience with Jersey Reds that he now makes
this breed his specialty, and keeps no other
kinds. He says that his spring pigs at
time of killing in the fall weigh considerable more than his other breeds did. This
is proof of tbeir early maturity for market.
HOGS IN ILLINOIS.
The 1880 Crop—The Loss  by Hog
Cholera.
The last assessment for this State shows
that the number of hogs in farmer's hands
is larger than in any previous year excepting 1872, 1873 and 1874. '
The 1880 hog crop of Illinois, according
to reports of the Agricultural Department,
will be very large, unless there should be
an epidemic of "hog cholera," such as has
frequently spread over this State and destroyed large numbers of hogs..
In 1878 there was a loss to Illinois farmers of nearly hilf a million (474,758)head of
hogs from so-called hog cholera, valued at
$1,438,589.
There is no concern manifested at this
time of any serious loss of swine by disease, and the present hog crop will be good
or indifferent according to the yield and
quality of the growing earn.

Warts on Stock.
Edltors(Indlana Farmer:
What is'the cause of small warts on colt's
noses, and what will remove then,?.
■;!/!'■■" H. C.
The; cause of warts is the same on one
partjof a horse as on another. Paint them
with tincture oi iodine once per day for several days, it will kill all small warts; if any
remain, cut them ofl and cauterize them-
burn.
To Mr. F.J. Meyers:
I think your horse is in no danger of
glanders now, but has a thickening of the
mucous membrane of some part of his air
or bj-oathlng apparatus. Give him 20 drops,
morning and evening, of Fowler's solution
of arsenic, which increase two drops per
day (until you reach EO, which continue
until 'his hair.looks like getting too dry,
then cease.

Rupture.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I have a fine pig that is ruotured nt-ar the
navel. The rupture is as large as the end
of a man's finger, and the intestines come
down through it, as large as a hen's egg.
Can it be cured?   It so, how.       Wm. W.
If the bowels are protruding, place the
pig on its back, return them and sew up
the aperture. If only a hernia under the
skin, sew a piece of tin about five inches
square between two folds of drilling, whieh
must unite above the back, like a surcingle;
starch it, or smear it on the inside with
plaster paris, to keep (ke tin exactly over
the rupture.   Try a collar and breeching.

Inflammation, Etc.
Editors Indiana Farmen
My horse eats hearty when he don't have
bad spells; his hair looks tolerably well;
he has bet n sick, off and on, all summer; he
looks at his side, rolls and strikes himself
with his feet, i can hear him grunt 15 or
30 yar.is; he gets his breath fast.
D. W. Z
If I judge right yonr horse has inflimma-
tion of the bowels, or dry gripes, so called,
or b6 may have spasms of the bowels. Why
don't people read the bead of the "Veterinary
column and at learst give mo the rate of the
pulst? If his pulse beats over 40 per minute,
take tincture of aconite root one ounce, and
tincture of belladonna one ounce; pull out
his tongue and drop on half a tfaspoonful
every two hours, using them alternately
until the pulse gets down to 40. Take ginger, fourouncj<; nitre, four ounces; flour ot
sulphur, sulphate of iron, black antimony,
and rei-in of each two ounces. Dose, one
teaspoonful three times per day in chop, or
any wet mill fee-?; or drink in water.
Blackleg.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
Last March we lost a calf a year old- In
April another of the same age; iu May one
three months' old, and in August another
ot that age. Those a year old had been
well wintered and were in good condition.
The younger ones ran with their mothers
and were fat. They were in pastures half
a mile apart, and had access to pure running water. At first symptoms they appeared stupid; soon tbey became stiff and
somewhat swollen in the shoulder, and in
a few hours died, at which lime the flt-sh
on the shoulder and fore-leg was found
black and almost putiefied. A. B.
Ynur calvrs died of a fatal disease, variously called blackleg, black-quarter, and
inflammatory fever. It is considered infectious, but none take It except well-fed
animals.'Bleeding is the quickest remedy in
be drenched with the following, but reduce
the proportions of each part according as
the animals are younger; Tartar emetic,
60 grains; tincture of digitalis, one ounce;
mix In cold water, one pint. Dose every
two hours, omitting the digitalis after first'
dose, substituting two ounces of spirits of
nitre.
Blind Teeth.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I have a mare three years old last spring,
had blind teeth knocked out at two years
old. This summer her eyes have been
swollen and watering with white matter
accumulating in corner ol eye; has been
worked only lightly to hack; all right in
every other respect. What is the cause,
and what should be the treatment?
E. B.
So that blind teeth   foolishness is still
raging, although for the last 15 years, both
in  books and through the press, I have
been fighting the ignorant idea.   It seems
to have no visible effect, however, from the
fact that many intelligent farmers will still
believe the most ignorant blacksmith or
pretended veterinary surgeon, that   wolf
teeth are in some way detrimental to the
vision of their possessors; no greater mistake can b3 conceived.   Do yoa or any of
your neighbors feel your vision affeoted by
a supernumerary tooth, or by any other
influence from the teeth, except a swelling
of   the   cheek,  which   subsides without
leaving any of its influence npon the vision
of the sufferer?   Why is it that men will
pay attention to .ignorant farriers, whose
interest it is to earn one dollar for punching and gouging your poor brute, and who,
if inquired of, cannot explain either the
anatomy or the physiology of either the
teeth or eyes?    Will the readers of this
paper ever learn to condemn Buch quackery, and take the advice of one who feels-
an interest in the welfare of the farmer, and
sympathy   for   the   much-abnsed   dumb
brute, and all this without fee or reward?
Stop, intelligent reader, and consider why
it is tbat those bold impostors assume to
know more about yonr horse than you do.
This I will answer by saying that thoy possess more impud.ineo,  boldness, and  presumption,   called   variously   "nrass" and
cheek," all oi which I call rascality. How
it  is  they  gain the  confidence of their
neighbors in  procuring a reputation and
practice, is  easily   accounted  tor.    It   is
more the fruit of good  luck than of good
knowledge; all horses that get sick would
not die if never doctored, neither do all
men; indeed, less would have died if not
improperly doctored.
This being a fact, if one of those bold
fellows happpns to ad_nii,i-<ter something
to a horse and it gets well, he blows his
trumpet iond and long; and if a few more
such accidents happen the fellow obtains
an enviable notoriety in his district, as a
first-class veterinary surgeon, and all of
his subs qnent failures »re covered np by
the plea of impossibility, by the tongue of
the knight of the veterinary art. Why, he
will tell the owner and his Height ors that
Percival, or Youatt could not hat e saved
him. 1 receive thousands of letters from
this class all over tho country, seeking information; all of which I havo been answering, that is to say if I can read them,
for although the larger number of them
are creditable productions a large number cannot possibly be understood sufficiently to receive a reply, some omitting to
give State, county, or postoflU-e address.
Allow me once more to repeat my oft
tendered advice to horse owners. When
ever a man tells you that "wolf teeth,"
"hooks in the eyes," and botts are detri-
meptal to the horses well-being, put him
down as a blundering quack; or that the
tumor in bone-spavin can be obliterated.
Such men are more dangerous ;than disease.

The U,nvtr.-s<ii Drill and Planter (large

in use for thepasttwo years, and has proven
a ruc-coss in all cases, and is therefore no

will drill or check-row two rows of corn at

be taken apart by the removal of two simple bolts and used as tw„ single three-hoed
