J. Hasselman, of this city, was a few days ago offered ?350 for a very fine Jersey heifer calf, and refused to tabe it Sweepstakes Duke,a noted animal, stands at the head of Mr .Hasselman's herd of Jerseys. Messrs. Powell Brothers, Springboro, Pennsylvania, have lately received from Scotland, several large importations of Clydesdale horses, and probably now have the largest collection of Clydesdale horses in the world. Mr. A. Hartman, states that he was most agreeably surprised in a recent visit to the herds of Geo. W. Thomas, Homer, Rush Co., Ind. He found both his superb herd of Short-horns and swine in prime condition in all respects. Mr. Thomas has a fine red strain of Shorthorns, which have always been admired in the show ring and which have always taken off a good share of premiums. Experiments have been made by the Wisconsin State University to determine if smut is poisonous to cattle. Forseveral days after the experiments began no effect appeared. Then one cow refused to eat the smut while the other seemed to thrive upon a peck of smut per day; but suddenly her temperature fell six degrees in as many hours, and in anotherhourshe died. On the post-mortem examination no lesions of importance were found. The first stomach was full of food while the fourth was nearly. Prof. Henry concluded that smut killed the cow. Dick Jones, of Flat Rock "Valley herd Columbus, Indiana, has recently made some very fine additions to his herd of Poland Chinas, among which are two fine young males, Exchange, and Three- twenty-nine, bought of W. A. Macy, Lewisville, Ind,, and recorded in 3d Vol. C. P. C. R., also three extra young sows from John W. Baker, Somerville,' Ohio, one sired by Baker's Tom Corwin 689, C. P. C.

He expects something fine for the spring trade from such noted sows as Ella Fisk, No. 946. Emma Merton 836, Lady Reveal, No. 954, and many others of equal note. Silos and Ensilage. Editors Indiana Farmer: I am glad to seo the subject of Silos and Ensilage mentioned in the Farmer. It seems to me that it is a subject which demands our careful study and attention. The question of feeding stock is the prime question the farmer and stock raiser has to solve, and the result of the solution to a very groat extent, determines the amount of profits he realizes. If what is claimed for the ensilage and that manner of preparing and preserving feed, is true, it is of the highest importance that farmers generally know It, and realize the fact. Until a week or two ago I have never seen a plan or even any hint of one for oon- structinga silo practical to a common farmer, on account of the great cost of them. But if one can be built of wood—using sawdust etc., as was'mentioned in a previous number of the Farmer, that would change the aspect of the subject greatly. Now I would like full information in regard to how difficult it is to preserve green feed this way. Is a wooden wall filled in with sawdust a sure way of preserving the food? Also about how many cubic feet is required to hold a ton of the ensilage? How tight must the floor be, also how much weight should be placed upon the feed after it is stored? US write this and ask these questions In order that this subject may be well discussed; I, for one, am anious to learn the full facts and practicability of it to oommon feeders. I hopo that any person knowing anything about it will let it be known; and that the editorof the Farmer will give the readers the benefit of all he can learn on the above subject. B. SI. Henry Co., Ind. The Barlow Rotary Corn Planter, Manufactured by the Vandiver Corn Planter Co., Quincy, 111. Swine Diseases. Paper read before the State Swine Breeders' Association, by D. L. Thomas, Rash ville, Ind. During the past third of a century wonderful changes have been wrought in all classes of live stock. And none of them bears the stamp of progress more clearly than the improved hog. The "elm peeler" that required two or throe years to grow and fatten has been supplanted by ^ne that can readily be put into market at eight to ten months of age. It enables the farmer to put at least two crops of hogs into market instead of one. But while this product is so quickly created the farmer neglects to carefully consider the modus operandi. If a feeder of a reflective mind would stop and think when throwing out feed to his hog, how soon that raw material will be changed into pork he would be struck with wonder and amazement. In a few months feed is changed into blood, bone, hair, fat and muscle of a large hog. Feeding the'un- proved hog under pressure, so to speak, necessitates a rapid assimilation of food. The improvement and speedy development impairs the vitality of the hog and, in my judgmeut, makes the tender pig more liable to disease. And since we have changed the nature of the hog we have overlooked the importance of keepingpace with a corresponding change in his general treatment. He is out of his natural climate, else he would be supplied with a better coat to protect him from our climatic changes. Indeed, the breeder's fancy demands that the hog's coat be made finer and thinner so that he will be still poorer clad for our climate. So we have taken the hog out of his native climate and entirely changed his habits- two radical changes. Now under such circumstances, can we successfully raise him in a wreckless, slip shod manner? In early boyhood I saw the"elm peeler" roaming the forest at will. His omnivorous habits met with a great variety of food. He ate mast, berries and reptiles. With his long nose he dug up worms, bugs and roots. He had access to all the native plants and herbs and to the ashes and char- ooal found in the "clearing" of the pioneer. The alkaline salts of the soil were in easy reach. His instinct pointed out whatever was required to correct irregularities in his system. The forest sheltered him from storms and piercing winds. He enjoyed healthy surroundings. Now, the forest is changed to fertile fields. The hog is brought from nature's shelter into open ground, one-fourth clad with a suit of fine, thin hair. He keenly feels every climatic change. The modern hog wears a ring in his delicate nose and lives upon a carpet of sod, while worms and bugs aro pro- pragated beneath to prey upon the next crop of graini He gets no flesh to oat; native herbs have disappeared; nor can he dig for roots. He is confined generally to one diet—grass or grain. At fattening time, he is put ina pen and fed inthe mud, sleeps in mud and storm, gets sick and his owner can't understand it! One hog raiser furnishes no protection from climat ic changes and his hogs contract cold and die. Another wishes to "change" his hogs and tnrns them from sheltered beds into exposed fields and diphtheria sweeps away alarge per cent. A third, moro careful than the average, builds a tight hog house with poor or no ventilation. Of a cold morning a dense vapor Is rising and the hogs aro nearly gu__boated; and wheij called out to feed they are thoroughly chilled. Pneumonia numbers its victims. A' fourth neglects to give his hogs the "preventives" that they used to get in the forest and their systems are clogged with parasites. The intestines of some are punctured ;tuo lard worm preys upon others ;and still others are afflicted with lung worms. Death reduces his herd. Now, let these hog raisers meet and talk over the situation. Without carefully noting the circumstances attending each herd; nor the symptoms wheu sick; without a single post mortem examination, they unanimously agree that all their hogs died of "cholera" and adjourn sine diel The foregoing prepares the way to say that in my humble opinion, when we, the swine producers of the United States, come to give more earnest thought to our business; to study the nature and wants of tho hog and supply them; to apply more practical, common sense rules in the general management of our herds, then the mortality among swine will be greatly diminished. What I have said willsuggeest remedies, in a great measuro, for the evils mentioned. But the thoughtful breeder can easily manage all these difficulties in comparison with the terrible malady, SWINE PLAGUE OR FEVER, that has been so destructive and so little understood.. I have always read with interest everything I could find bearing upon this subject, and also made it a point to converse freely with persons who have suffered financially by this disease. But I never had any practically experience till last fall when I lost a few fine Poland Chinas.. Fortunately, at that juncture, I had access to U. S. Agricultural reports treating upon the identical disease, which I Studied carefully and with great interest. And I wish to present briefly my own observations and especially the germ of the reports mentioned. In August, 1878, Commissioner Le Due, having beei votei. an appropriation by Congress to defray expenses, appointed a "commission to investigate and determine the causes producing, and if possible, discover remedies for some of the more contagious and destructive diseases Incident to domestic animals." He appointed examiners in the states of New York, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia. Some of those examiners pursued their investigations, at intervals, till 1880. The result proves that that was the most gigantic step ever taken in this country toward understanding and stamping out contagious diseases. All the diseases heretofore mentioned have beon canfounded with swine plague. Itis a distinct and separate disease, and was imported—like pleuro-pneumonia among cattle. It has played havoc among herds under every conceivable circumstance and respected no breed from the veriest scrub to the most highly bred. No "specific," or "sure cure," has boen found and prob- ablynever will be. Preventive and sanitary measures should always form a part of the general management of swine. Yet there have been outbreaks that would seem to baffle sanitary regulations. In one. instance, large numbers died with the plague thst had fine, shady range ou rolling ground aud fed principally on the buttermilk of a creamery with a small ration of corn. In another, 117 head (nearly a whole herd) died that had a range of alarge olover field and fed tha slops of a city hotel. A herd fed the offal of a slaughter house, at Charlotte, N. C, with other food, was the flrst to take the disease in that locality, and suffered greatly. And quite frequently it broke out f.mong hogs following fat cattle. Dr. Salmon, of N. C, says hogs have died to an alarming extent from the mountains to the sea board; and that he "met with hundreds of cases ..jvhcr.-e*-. animals had largo pastures and other feed in addition daily, where such popular preventives as salt and ashes, sulphur, tar, oil of turpentine, charcoal and copperas wero freely and regularly given, whero the majority of animals were neither too fat to be vigorous nor so poor as to be wanting in this respect, and yet from 50 to 90 per cent, succumbed to this affection." He, also, found it "as fatal in in the elevated and healthful West, with its immense mountain raDges, as in the malarious East." Further, "the disease rages irrespective of these climatic and hygienic extremes; an_. this becomes still plainer when we add that Swannanoa township, of Buncombe county (mountainous) the loss reached 60 per cent." The commissioners held, probably, a thousand post mortem examinations, made numerous experiments, tried many remedies and preventives and learned the observations and experiments of hundreds of farmers. So, from all sources they have gathered a valuable fund of information. Dr. Dunlap, Iowa, in pursuing his investigation, gives this important rule: " H the herd is not doing well, if they do not eat well and appear less active than usual, at once examine the tongues of a few and notice the color; if the tongues are red and contracted, give sour slop or turn them on clover pasturo or on green food, and they will at once improve. • If their tongues are large, pale and flabby, give corn, corn-meal, cooked root vegetables, and add soda to the feed, or soda and milk, but give no sour slop. The large, white, pale toDgue shows that the stomach and blood are in acid condition and need alkalies; the contracted red tongue shows a subacid condition, and that acids or sour remedies are needed. For years the fanners' journals have lauded clover fields and have advised keeping swine upon clover during the entire summer, on the score of economy of feed and health. As far as it goes this is good advice, and yet following this advice has been the chief cause of the spread ofthe contagious diseases among swine. When the clover range is on clay soil, or the hogs have access to clay banks, and the use of rings is avoided, all will go well." Otherwise the treatment Invites disease. J. Dr. Detlmers and Prof. Law tried many experiments by inoculation and found that the virulent matter would take after being frozen, dried, or preserved in liquids for a year. The}, successfully inoculated calves, sheep, rabbits and rats.. The virulent matter is fonnd most concentrated in the excrement and urine of hogs. Animals feeding with diseased hogs are liable to devour the virus and spread the disease. Birds may carry it an their feet and alight on hogs miles away, and by their feet coming in contact with a wound inoculate the plague. Crows and buzzards may carry germs of the disease in their excrement to distant herds. In various ways it can be communicated. The plague is not considered a sporadic disease, but is communicated by inoculation or the animal taking tha germ into its system in its drink or food. Tho germ lias been detected readily in ponds and streams frequented by sick hogs. Seemingly well authenticated instances are cited whero tho diseaso has been spread by tho wind, water, hauling dead " hogs to rendering tanks, shipping sick hogi on railroads and hogs eating portions ot dead animals that havo boon carried into their pastures by dogs or running streams'. But these aro contradicted by herds of hogs remaining healthy in lots adjoining the pens of sick hogs; by healthy herds- not contracting the disease when drinking daily from tho samo stream and just below whore sick hogs drink and wallow; and last fall hundreds of bogs that had died ol the swino plague were hauled to tho Rush-' villo rendering tank and I could not learn of a single hog along the highways contracting the diseaso; and tho offal (lungs, lives, etc.) of those dead hogs wero thrown out and consumed by a herd of hogs and pigs raised in the lot around tho roudering tank. That has been the custom of the proprietor for years, and he never has tha disease in his herd. Theso observations go to show that we havo not yet discovered, to a certainty, how the disease is spread.. SYMPTOMS OP SWINE rLAOUE OR EEVEIf. The general symptoms nearly always present are: Drooping ears; dull look of the eyes; staring appearance of the hair; back arched; the flank tucked up; stupor; loss of appetite; disposition to lie down with nose hid in "the bedding; staggering gait; shivering and more or less coughing; offensive smell and peculiar color of tho excrements. Other symptoms are often present; vomiting; constipation; sometimes purging; bleeding at the nose; erup- tious on the ears; mucus in the corner of the eyes; partial or total blindness; accelerated and often laborious breathing r spasmodio contraction of the abdominal muscles; vitiated appetite; and sometimes the skin, lips, gums and lower jaw bone become ules-ated. •' • THE MORBID PROCESS, ■*■"•■ P" though essentially the game, may have its seat in many different organs or parts of tho system and produce a great variety of changes. Hence, tho same dieeaso presents diflerent aspects in different animals. Tho disease may attack the brain, lungs, heart, liver, pleura and pericardium, peritoneum, lymphatics, spleen, all mucous membranes, and even the skin, The pulmonic tissues and lymphatic glandsaro invariably affected. When the attack is violent and Its principal seat is located in any of the vital organs, death is liable to ensue at any moment. Whon an important organ is parr alyzed, thero can be no hope of recovery. In less violent attacks a rational treatment may assist nature in throwing off the diseaso; while animals having a mild attack, particularly of tho less important organs can recover without treatmont. " Last fall I had fivo head attacked with diarrhea. Two, from the first, seemed to be beyond human aid. I gave tbootherthree, (in fact all fivo) essence of Jamaica ginger which seemed to help them and they recovered. But the idea of an absolute "specific" is an absurdity. When such : a thing shall have beon discovered, physicians will also have discovered specifics for all our ills, which, when placed in every household will arrest diseases and tho human family will cease to die! Those commissioners tried overy remedy they could devise and heard battalions of farmers relate thoir treatment, including many "sure cures" but found nothing that proved satisfactory. But in the way of preventives thoy seem to have olved tho problem. Dr. Detmers mado as series of experiments with carbolic acid, iodine, hyposulphite of soda, etc., and succeeded remarkably well in arresting the spread of the disease. Carbolic acid is recommended as preferable on account of cheapness, leaving no bad effect, and boing oasilyadmlnisterd by aDy ono. Ia his experiments he took herds containing sick hogs and separated the sick from the others and gave 10 drops of carbolic acid to every hundred pounds of live weight in pure water. In no Instance were there new ca_es of sick bogs. Pigs were inoculated and others fed infected food and given tho acid and no evil effects followed. So it seems an absolute preventive has been found. Swine plague has existed In this country for over a quarter of a century and spread to twenty-nino states »nd territories. Yet it may be stamped out if the sick hogs aro speedily destroyed or separated, preventives used among the healthy hogs and sanitary rules ob. erved. I am a firm advocate of the popular preventives, such as salt, a_hes, tar, sulphur, black antimony, lime, eopjx.ras, etc., for these wiil exj el the paiasites and . avo thousands of hogs annually from the ravages of other dineaKC-4 first mentioned. And without access t'i theso tho hog will become debilitated; audit stands to reason that he would be in poor condition lo C*_>rl__«_ •_ Fifth Pmme,
