Stuiuel Stratton, Litchfield, 111,, a one year old Clydesdale filly^ by imported "Scottish Chief" tor f 125, which shows the profit of breeding to pure bred sires. The professor has several Clydesdale colts all by'Scotttsh Chiet". His flock ef sheep is unsurpassed in tbe State with the Duke et Fayfield and Royal Signet, two imported Engliah Kama at the head. The law prevails in all vegetable and animal reproduction, "the same causes produce the same effects;" "like begets like." It is now generally admitted that the apple, one of the finest of all fruits, IrVas educed from the wild crab, an uneyahle one. If tbe soil, climate and culture/were always the same, it is probable tha/ there wonld be no varieties of plants, no "sporting." But these conditions vary continually, and consequently the effects vary. Then the best variety may be selected, and tbe other law prevailing, "like begets like," tbat best variety is perpetuated and advanced. And as favorable conditions favor progress, so unfavorable ones retard or retrograde it. the EPFKcrr or climatb is very great. Some years ago I bought winter fruit trees from the North; not on* now bears anything but tall fruit. So oorn brought from the North matures early, that from tbe South matures late. I have tried both. So the flora is influenced by tbe elements of the soil; one plant doing well in one soil and failing in another. In France, where the whole world has seen, for ointuries one vineyard produces I one wine and the next a very different one. So in regard to the fauna. You now com* to "stock-breeaiug," with definite ideas. L<*w 1. The base of the stock should always be FUSE BLOOD. By pure blood we mean a typewhl«h has become fixed by successive generations. Thus we have a pnre blooded Southdown sheep, a pure "scrub," or common sheep, a pure blooded race horse, a pur* blooded "plug," a pure setter, a pure hound, etc. 2. A pure male should always be used for pure, or mixed bloods. 3. Selection always of the best—"sur-, vival of tbe fittest." 4. The best clime, food and shelter. These rules are comprehensive enough for our purpose. 1. Pure bloods are needed to aasur* us of similar issue. When two breeds are mixed the progeny tends to one or the other of the original types, or an intermediate variety; so that jou are never sure of! producing the type desired. The race horse of our day is not an original type. It is admitted tbat it baa an Arabian cross on tbe English hone; but by careful breeding of the best sires on the best females, that horse bas become approximately a pure breed and a nearly fixed type, but the third and fourth rules advanced it in speed and endurance. No racer would venture to breed to a "plug," horse, whatever his qualities. In Bussia they have the pure Orloff breed of draft horses, which unite the greatest speed with the greatest weight. Some years ago I bred my hogs to an Irish grazier; a white, with large ears and short legs, tbriity, etc.; but finding them too small and poor travelers for our system of driving on foot to Louisville, Cincinnati and ihe South, I gave up the Gruzier. A Jew years after, when all signs of th* Grazier were extinct in my herd, an exact type oi the Grazier cropped out, but it was very small and feeble. There were no Graziers in my section of the country. ABOUT A CENTTJBT AGO the Bateses and others took up a fine breed of catile, and by judicious breeding produced the famous Short-horns. By successive generations the type has become so fixed tbat they may be «on»idered a pure breed. There is no doubt but that tbe cattle first used were like the present breed, and the original or normal breed may survive-in successive legitimate Improvement; and even tbe alien blood supposed to have improved the first recorded types be all lost. Whatever breed may be selected ought to be kept pure, and improved by the other rales. 2. A pure male should be nsed even for mixed bloods, for the Bame reasons. If the male is of a higher type than the female herd, of course the advance will follow him. For instance, you wonld do well to breed yonr females descended from a pure Buck back, rather tban the half bloods; because the full blood or pure sire would give half of the blood of the progeny, while the son would give a fourth of tbe blood. If one ls not able to start with a pure herd all round, and breeds tbe pure Southdown or Cotswold npon tbe native sheep, then all tbe males may go to the butcher and the pur* bucks bo continued on the native ewes. He would be a bold man who would claim to have achieved in a single lifetime more than all tbe world had done in centuries. And yet there are »uch humbugs, making a classification of pure, full-blooded and grade bloods, when there are but two, full-blood being unfounded in fact. And this system is now largely practiced in the West. As a breeder ot Southdown sheep, I find an increased and unsupplied demand for bucks to breed with the native-sheep, producing -an early matured lamb for the Eastern cities' mar ket. At last the Southdown begins to be esteemed, aa it is in England, tbe best mutton Bheep to be found dresssd in England, and sold in all the capitals of Europe. The Southdowns originating on the bleak aad barren lands ef that name in England, are the hardiest of sheep, easily kept, and mature so soon tbat most oi tbe ewes bring a lamb at a year old. Though not of large fleeces, the wool ia firm and Btrong and next in quality to the Merino and Saxon. There is a vast region yet to be supplied with improved sheep; and none is better suited to the temper^ ate and semi-temperate climes than tbe Siuthdown, which in this latitude, eay 38° North, may be killed from grass for mutton all winter. 8. "Selection always of the best," is too obvious for description. You should not only BKTECT THB BUST of your own herd or flock, but look the world over and purchase the best from tbe breeding of others. Theprinciple of breeding "lu-and-in" is too wide for discussion here; I will only remark that tbe bleeding of near relatives does not aff«ct ao soon fat-producing animala as man, where the mind is'the chief power; as the borse, where energy of mind and muscle tells in swiftness and endurance. And y*t too many "in-and-in" crosses are to be avoided even in cattle, sheep and hogs. 4. "Clime, food and shelter." It is not" necessary to discuss or determine the laws of original evolution, spontaneous or providential. It is sufficient to take genera, classes, species, and varietiea as we find them, within historic periods. C<ime. We find the white bear at the poles, the grizzly and the black bears farther south. If a man were breeding bears, he would take those adapted to the several climes, "to the manor born," or else he would likely lose his time and money. So in the breeding of domestic animals, climate muat be considered. In a country ao diverse in climate as ours, rule* of breeding and culture which are good in one place are bad in another, s* that the latitude shonld always be understood in all writings for agricultural journals. In the breeding of domestic animals, the demand is not only to be considered, but the adaptation to clime. A general A wid«b lmterest now prevails all over t*ie West, in the breeding of heavy and •Valuable horses, than ever before. The demand for this class of stallions is likely to be fully np to tbe supply for many years. WS publish the first of a series of articles this week, written for tbe Indiana Farmer by the Hon. Cassius M. Clay, Kentucky, a gentleman of large experience and extensive observation npon th* important subject h* treats. Our readera will doubtless find the first one full of interest and profit to them. s» It has been found by many eattle feeders tbat Jn feeding crushed corn, or meal, it is far better to make the ration on* part bran to two part* meal.

The large white bear is found in tha frigid, and the elephant in the torrid zone; but the fur of the ond and the hairlesa skin of the other are adapted to the climate. Bat the rule is.temperate climes are suited to th* BIOH«8T DKVELOrKMKNT ot man and otber animals. As chemistry and experience bave shown that a large portion oi the food us-xl in animal life is exbauated in causing animal heat, and replacing the consumed tissues, it is plain that the cold and long winters of the Northern climes while well adapted to manufactures, are not eligible places for meat-producing. The temperate belt will therefore become the site of meat and horse raising; tne North of manufactures and the South of the great and valuable tropical prod actions. ADAPTATIWs- OF FOOD. Food should be not only adapted to the natural demands •! tbe cultured animals, but plentiful and continuous, to produce the hightest progression of type and value. Animals fed badly a part of their life never recover their march to the best type and highest market value. In the race-horse, abundance of food through all his growth, contributes to his largest growth, and fullest powers. After maturity, flash may be lost or increased without material detriment; but in meat animals all food not increasing the weight is a dead loss. Hence the principle of early maturity to avoid the feeding over one or more winters, which ar* profitless months, as the animals do not generally increase in weight during fie winter months. Hence the MICKSSITY OF SHELTER. In pleasant cllmpf?, and no winter, shelter is needless; but according to the increase of cold must there be shelter. If one dollar's worth of food ia needed to keep up the extra aniaaal heat for a given length of time, then a shelter and bedding, which will accomplish the aame end, will save a dollar on each animal. In extreme cold more shelter and bedding will not keep np tbe animal heat to the plane of a temperate clime; here then must be an increased loss of food. No doubt the time will come when animals, like man, will be sheltered, clothed, and warmed with artificial heat. Tbat time is near at hand, for tne care of young animals at birth, since the prices of horses, sheep and cattle have a Ivanced to snch a point as to pay such ad- uitional expense. I once lost an as«-colt by cold at birth, whioh was-worth more tnan a thousand dollars; and sheep, whose nature ia to drop their young in the winter, subject every farmer to yearly losses Sore Feet. Editors Indiana Farmer; I have a cow that has a sore foot between her hoof on hind loot, and I had cured it ss I tbougbt but it breaks out again when she runs in wet ground or stands in a wet stable. J. L. C. The biflex canal between ber hoots is stopped. Take spirits oi turpentine and ruo it in well with the finger once or twice a day; keep dry and clean. Inflammation ofthe Bladder. Kditors Indiana Farmer: I have a horse that is frequently bothered with a stoppage of urine, treqnent attempts to urinate, looking round at his aide, lying down, rolling and stretching. I have been giving sweet spirits of nitre, which helps him for a few days, but does not efiect a cure. A. W. T. Yonr horse bas inflammation of the bladder. Give him tbe following: Ginger, fonr ounces; black antimony, two ounces; sulphur, two ounces; saltpetre, two ounces; resin, two ounces. Kix and give one teaspoonful three timea per day in the feed. Crippled Horse. Editors Indiana Farmer I have a horse.that was kicked about aix weeks ago on the inside of hind knee. It is very much swollen from the knee to the hoof. Tnere are several open places, from which matter passea. The horse also has sweeney in hip, L. H. I suppose you mean his hock—he has no bind knee. Blister from tbe upper part down to the lower part of tbe sore, using Spanish fly and turpentine, an ounce of Spanish fly to a pint of spirits of turpentine; rub in well with the hand once a day ior at least ten days. Tbe sores being indolent must be stimulated to healthy action. For the sweeney see remedies frequently published heretofore. IKDIANA. Jennings Co , Nov. 26.—Wheat ia getting an unusual amount of poor man's manure, (snow). Two-thirda of the corn Is yet to husk; crop good on rolling lands, poor on flat land. J. H. Cakroli. Co , Nov. 24.—Corn about half gathered; makes half crop. Wheat good, about all threshed; not a big crop sown this fall on account of dry weather. Plenty of fruit. Potatoes scarce. The weather la very cold. D. A. S. Cart-Ism**, Nov. 26.—Snow bas fallen to the depth of 10 inches during the past week, winter has come too soon for many of the farmers who have most of their crop to gather yet. The ice men are preparing to gather a big harvest of that crop this winter. W. H. Watnb Co., Nov. 25.—Weather cold with eight inches of snow on the ground. Hogs nearly all sold 4 to 4*^o. Corn mostly in crib. Bulk of the wheat sold at Jl. Small grain doing well, not as large acreage sown as last fall. Stock iu good condition for wintering. No hog cholera, some chicken cholera. Potatoes almost a failure on account of tbe drouth, S. H. M. Montoomebt Co., Nov. 2T.—Unparalleled cold November. Mercury was down to 14° below zero and five lnchee- of snow. Hogs fatted fine and early, plenty of mast and solid corn done it. Dry before the anow has made Btock water scarce, and the wheat crop also look* very Indifferent. No bog cholera. Epizootio was com_.aratively light. Stock generally in good condition. This fall compares bo far in dry and cold with tbe fall of 1872, which was followed with the coldest winter tbat the oldest resident here ever experienced, so to be forewarned is to be forearmed., Much suffering and inconvenience may be saved by timely heed. tVKtcb yonr cellars ln time, also your wood piles and tender stock, etc, and then after being secure from stress of weather, how pleasant it is to sit by our firesides and read tbe contents of so worthy a paper aa the Indiana Farmeb. J. F. CAX.IFUK2KIA. Somona Co., Nov. 15—Wheat averaged 35 bushels per acre; oats 40; barley 40; po- tatoas 87. Fruit crop very poor. Land from |30 to $60 per acre. Cows $35 per bead. Sheep $2 50 to $3. Labor from $25 to $30 per month. Cattle and sheep doing well. Wool 20 cents per pound. A. S. GEIHDIHG GRAIN FOB STOCK. Mb. Geo. Geddes, N. Y., contributes of his own experience on this subject to the Country Gentleman the following: I want corn ground as finely for feeding animala of the farm as for feeding myself. Why do we grind? Is it not to break down tbe hard grains of corn into fine particles that will, by exposing great surfaces to the action of th* gastric juice, be easy of digestion, or, for tbe Bame reason, be easily softened by water? Corn should be ground as fine aa practicable without heating itintbemill. I saw at the American Instl:u*e Fair am.ll bnhr-stones that did excellent work, grinding to my entire satisfaction, with stones only twenty inches in diameter. Great improvements have been made in hanging, casing, and the. details generally of mills for grinding feed since I purchased the one that we have bo long used. So great are these improvements that we shall throw he*old mill away and buy one of the improved mills of to-day. On our farm the consumption of barley, oats and corn for farm stock ia about 2,000 bushels a year. Careful estimates made by my grandson show tbat tb* going to mill with grists, und going again after tbem, added to the money paid for grinding (6o per bushel) is more than $.200 a year. This justifies rebuilding our worn-out water wheel and buying the best mill to grind—and this explains why I bave lately given so much consideration to the best methods of grinding fetd. We ar* fortuoaie in having a stream (though a very small one in summer) running through the farm, which gives us the power necessary for our purposes. In the cases far beyond tbe outlay ior Bbefter, shepherd I where such powers do not exist on large and artificial beat. I farms (where much stock is fed) the small White Hall, Ky. I ateam engine will be found profitable. Distemper. Edltori Indiana Farmer; I have a horse that toon the distemper last harvest, and gathered in the neck five or six inches below the chin. A knife waa let into it and It diai-barged freely. We then thought the trouble was all over, but alas, it is running yet, as bad as a poll evil. I can probe it three inches. I have Utely pushed lumps of blue vitriol to the bottom with no good effect. Will you tell me what to do for it? A. C. C. Get about four ounces of nitric acid and put into it as many old. copper cents aa it will dissolve; take out about an ounce ot it and mix it with about half an ounce of cider vinegar; procure a long snipe billed syringe and inject to the bottom oi the orifice once a day. If this proportion proves too weak make the mixture stronger until it destroys the walls of the abscess. Inflammation. Editors Indiana Farmer: My cow bas been vomiting up her food ever since acorns fell, or for about two months. She vomits both food and water immediately alter swallowing it. She has a strong appetite and will eat anything. Her hair looks dead and rou>;h; breathing seems natural; chews her cud very littln. M. L. P. Your cow has an inflammation of the rumen and abomasum. Take an ounce- of tincture of aconite root and an ounce of belladonna in separate vials and drop on the tongue a half drachm every two hours, using them alternately. Use the following during the time: Bloodroot, ginger, Hack antimony, flour of sulphur, sulphate of iron and nitre of each two ounces. Mix and give in chop or mill Jeed. Dose, onb teaspoonful three times a day. Blaio. Editors Indiana Fanner: It Irotbs some at the mouth, which is white and slimy to root of tongue and very sore. Tongue not noticeably swollen. Its mouth bas somewhat tbe appearance of an infant with thrash. They reiuse food unless it be slop. We have lost two before. Have tried alum water without any erJHCt. Wm. M. Your calf bas blain. Burn two ounces of alum on a level pot surface until it quits bubbling; grind and mix witb a fistful ot salt and a double handful of meat; make a swab about an inch wide and 16 or 18 inches long out of a thin board; wrap it with white muslin; wet the swab and roll it iu tbe meal, salt and alum and swab tbe sore parts of the mouth and tongue with it; I keep your mixture on a pie-pan or some ' shallow vessel; use onoe or twice a day. MlS-iWljm. Vbrnon Co , Nov. 26.—Qifallty of wheat good; average per acre 20 bushels. Oata good; average per acre about 85. Corn not so good, average per acre about 30. Potato crop medium.
