VOL. XXIV. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., AUG. 3,1889. NO. 31 Wzt&Awxxs. Jho. Elliott, V. 8., Veterinary Editor, US Kast Wabash street. Telephone 23). Correspondents who desire an Immediate reply to their queries Bhould enclose a stamp for the purpose. J. W. J.—The eneuresis in your mala might be caused by any oneof anumberof different disturbances. Have her examined by a veterinarian; find the cause and remove it. Clover Pasture— Enlargement — Will clover pasture prevent a mare from getting -with foal? I have a mare that has a lump about the size of a hen egg on her left knee a little to the left side, which came about the latter part of April, about three weeks before she foaled; supposed to have been kicked or ic j tred in some manner. It seems to be getting a little calloused. There is a diversity of opinion in regard to clover preventing a mare from getting with foal. We hardly think that it will. Try the aflect of a fly blister on the enlargement. Poisoned Hogs —J. W.—There are various substances that would poison your hogs, but we can't understand how they oould be poisoned while runnntng on pasture, as if there were any tendency - to affect them it would be beneficial rather than in j arious. There are several diseases that afflict hogs, suoh as cholera, anthrax, ■■'?«to.» and -st**, ura of the -opinion that- investigation will reveal your animals to be suffering from something of that nature. You might make a careful note of the actions and condition of the affected animals and submit same to us and perhaps we may be able to enlighten you on the subject. Epistaxis in Hoas —I have a hog eight months old; keeps nose down at the ground and blows it; bleeds after it blows a few times; hog weighs one-third less than others same age. X. We are inclined to think that your heg has received some injury in the region of the nasal chambers whioh gives rise to the irritation and snuffing. We would reo- ommend you to make a careful examination of the parts, as it is possible that it may have received a kick from a horse or been hit with some hard objeot perhaps violently enough to produce a fracture of the nasal bones. You can tell this by the dents on the surface. liETJcoRBHEA.—My mare has had rheumatism nearly a year; has been so bad -that when she lay down she had to be helped up. She is now nearly over it, but has what is called whites, and has got very poor, almost a skeleton. She has a good appetite, eyes look bright and coat sleek. We do not feed her much as the more she eats the worse the disease is. J. C. This i3 generally met with in old, debilitated mares. It consists of a white, glairy discharge from the uterus whioh looks .Uke curdled milk. It sometimes accumulates in the uterus coming away in large quantities and having a foetid odor. "The drain on the system gradually debilitates the animal. We would recommend you to inject the uterus with warm and then with cold water containing carbollo acid one part to 50 of water, and internally give tonios such as: Ferri Iodide 24 dr., Gentianapvl. 1 oz.\ make into 12 powders and give one in feed, morning and even- lug, feeding on oats and bran made into mash. White Scours in Calves.—I have a nne Jersey calf which has white scours. tu y0l*_ &n wme remedyT It is getting to be epidemic, in this locality and all will be glad to hear of a g ->od remedy. B. This disease usually occurs in rearing •ealves taken from their own natural Jood, the first milk of the oow, and artificially fed with milk from old milched cows, Whioh is defloient in oolostrnm which ■wte as a natural purge. Constipation is at first set in, followed by an add secre- wo n from the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, which coagulates the milk and separates it into its component parts, the curd and the whey, the curd remaining in the bowels and the whey coming away in the shape of a white semirlildfo3.es, sometimes mixed with solid portions. You must endeavor to find the cause and that must be removed. And theu the bowels regulated by good milk. You may have to get rid of the irritating substance by means of alaxative: 2 or 3 ounces of linseed oil, with an equal amount of lime water as an antacid. If there is pain add 20 drops of laudanum and in case the mother's milk is either too rich or not nutritious enough the food must be changed so as to remedy either condition. Chronic Bronchitis.—I have a fine young milk cow tbat has a bad cough. She is in good order and seems to be in good health every way except the cough, and shortness of breath. I lost a fiae young heifer last spriog with the same disease. She coughed for six months or more before she died; became very lean and ran at nose and mouth; she looked very much like a man with consumption. C. A J. A non-contagious disease, "the result of exposure, neglected catarrh, etc. It is tot liable to excite mnch attention from the casual observer in the primary stage, and is only noticed when the cough and wheezing become aggravated and the emaciation becomes apparent. It is, necessarily a fatal dis*ase when not diagnosed and treated properly in the start, and the troatment must be suoh as will bnild up and strengthen. Stimulants in the form of beer, a pint three times a day, given with pulverized cinchona, and persevered in, and a mustard plaster along the course of the trachea and chest and over the surfaces of the lungs on the side, are beneficial. When the patient begins to con yalesoe such toni*-s as the ferrio or cuprio sulphates are indicated. NoteB from Posey Oounty. Editors Indiana Farmer: The outlook for the wheat crop of this year at this time is gloomy enough. A very small per oent of the crop threshed and muoh of that which has been is in damp condition. Nearly the entire crop, the largest and best ever produced in this county, is yet in the shock, whioh the weeds almost cover on the best lands and still it rains It is raining now with a prospect of continuance. The intermissions between showers scarcely suffice to start;thethreshers. Notwithstanding all the delays and rains but little noticeable damage has as yet been sustained by the wheat, but it must be confessed that both wheat and oats are in a very critical condition; a very little more suoh weather as we are now having will work dire destruction and turn our bright anticipations of a very short time ago into disappointment. Corn is on a boom, and will undoubt edly be a heavy crop, the humid and warm weather we are having being j ast the kind required to produce the best results. About one-fourth of the corn ln the river bottoms was destroyed by the late flood in the Wabash, a small portion ot whioh was replanted after the water receded. The acreage in the low lying bottoms will be about 20 per cent short, but the great growth of what was left will very nearly compensate for the loss. Hogs in some neigborhoods are dying with a very malignant type of oholera; as far as observed every animal attacked has died. Prof. T. J.Barrill, ofthe swine plague commission says in, a communication of the21inst; "There is positively no efficient remedy." On account of this disease nearly all interest in swine raising has been lost and the*industry measurably abandoned, except in a very small way. Clover the second crop is making too strong a growth for best result ln producing seed; the notable scarcity of bumble bees, the principal agent depended upon to fer til/, a the bloom of that plant gives an unfavorable prospect for a large yield. Naw Harmony. J. B. E. . m > Important Innovation at the D epartment of Agriculture. Editors Indiana Farmer: Dr. Gjorge Wm. Hill, lately the editor of the "Parmer" at 8t. Paul, Minn., is al ready at his new editorial post at the Agii cultural Department. He is charged with the important duty of editing the reports and bulletins issued by the various divisions of tbe department, so many of which being prepared by scientific men for scientific eyes are comparatively lost to the general public, and especially, as the Secretary believes, to that part of the people whom the department is particularly designed to serve—the farmers. Advance sheets of bulletins issued hereafter from any and every division wili pass through the Secretary's effi se, and their contents will be carefully read and digested iu the editorial di\ jsion. A careful resume will then be prepared in the plainest language, giving in substance the facts and conclusions of each bulletin, and suited to the wants of pradical farmers. ....._ In advance of the distribution of the bulletins themselves there will also emanate from this editorial division a brief synopsis of each bulletin, p repared especially for the use of the press. Tbe general reader will thus be enabled to gather important results of scientific investigations without being compelled to peruse an entire pamphlet or book. He will also be enabled to keep pace with the Important work of the department, which has heretofore been practically impossible because of the small edition printed. These synopses will be distributed to all the newspapers throughout the country and readers everywhere will be enabled to send for suoh bulletins as may be of especial interest to them. To take the case of the book on "The English Sparrow in North America," a publication of 400 pages, lately issued by the department; in one place in it is a poem of seven stanzas, and a very bad poem it is, which clearly there ought to be no room for. In another place are 10 pages of tables to show what kinds of food have been found in the stomachs of 500 English sparrows. The tables are very costly to piint and are almost incomprehensible except to the scientist when they are printed. The gist of the whole matter is that the 522 stomachs—to be exact—gave the following results Wheat was found in 22 stomachs, oats in 327, oorn (maize) in 71, frnit seed (mainly of mulberries) in 57, grass seed 102, weed seed ln 85, undetermined vegetable matter in 219, bread, rice, etc., 19, noxious Insects in 47, beneficial insects in 50, insects of no economic importance In 31. Proper credit is given to different persons in the course of the book, and yet in the baok part the names are repeated in a bunch to the extent of 30 pages. Dr. Hill will pull these matters down. The annual report of the department^ which 400,000 copies are printed, can readily be reduced one-third if hot one-half, according to Secretary Rusk's estimate, and $50,000 in the printing bill will be saved to the Government. __lf KaBk has great confidence in Dr. Hill. He has known him for years as one of the best agricultural writers in the oountry. This establishing cf an editorial division is , ONLY ONE OF THE PRACTICAL REFORMS which the Secretary of Agriculture has already in view. He does not know whether the Signal Service and the Geo logical Survey will be transferred from the War Department and the Interior Department, respectively, to his new department or not. Nobody knows that. It all depends up in theaotion of Congress. The feasibility of both propositions has beeu dlsoussed, however, and the desirability of them also, and although there is no recognized movement yet to bring about the changes, it would gather friends quickly when onoe started. The Weatber Bnreau pursues investigation whioh benefit the farmer more than anybody else. Seoretary Rusk believes that it properly enough belongs in his department. Not quite so much can be said for the Geological Survey, yet that too may be of great service to the farmers, and it is not improbable that the Interior Department might be -willing to be relieved of it. The general reason why both of these bureaus might be urged upon the Department of Agriculture, would be that the Bureau of Agriculture has now become a department by itself with a wide-awake Cabinet Officer at its head and that Congress might therefore feel Uke making the most of the situation. The Agricultural Experiment Stations in the diflerent States and Territories are under the direction of Secretary Rusk. The Weather Bureau and Geological Survey, though of dissimilar methods, are yet of somewhat similar purposes. There is lKtle doubt that the p -parti lent ■ of Agriculture under Secretary Bask will increase in importance and claim, from time to time, recognition in the shape of liberal appropriations from Congress, not only beoause its work will broaden and be eftuient, bnt because as in the, case cited above, a wise economy will be praotioed. Dr. D. E Silmon with whom I talked, as well as Seoretary Risk, on my visit to the Department of Agrioulture to-day, is chief of the BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. He and his force of sometimes 200 men, make investigations as to the existence ot contagious pleuro-pneumonia and other dangerous diseases of live stock, superintend the measures for their extirpation, make original investigations on the nature and prevention of suoh diseases, have charge of the quarantine stations for the importation of neat cattle, and in general report up m the oondition and means of improving the animal industries of the oountry. Dr. Silmon is mnch pleased with the editorial idea. H Itherto the publications of his bureau have been so limited in number that they have necessarily been technical or they would not claim at all the attention of scientific men, and ao would not be considered as of any value by the country. Now the plan is to issue short bulletins for the benefit of the scientific men and to cover tbe same ground in a practical way in additional publications for the farmers. This is the general scheme to be followed. Dr. Salmon has, almost ready to be issued, a comprehensive book which treats in a practical, everyday way of the diseases of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. It will give also, oommon sense, everyday remedies for these dUeases,.and enable the farmer, if it proves to justify its purpose, to administer oures all by himself without the aid of a veterinary. This may not please the veterinary but the greatest good to the greatest number is the thing sought for. The book will be put, it is hoped, literally as well as figuratively, within the reaoh of everybody. Marshall Cushjnci. ; »'mmt S The New Era Exposition at St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 3d to Oot. 6th, offers seven cash premiums aggregating $888 for best dozen ears of corn, plaited together in one bunch with the shuck. Also $1,750 is offered for best three displays of agricultural products by oountles.
