Editors Indiana Farmer: On the 2d day of February, Mrs. Helen Burge had a ewe to drop a lamb, but the next morning it was dead, and on the 30th day of March, the same ewe gave birth to two more fine lambs, both of which are doing well.

It has a capacity for 50 grown cattle, 130 tons of hay, and 2,000 bushels of grain. It is full ligged with hay carrier track, carrier, etc., by which storing is simply and quickly done. Such barns are a credit to the owner and the community in which he lives. DEXTER PARK BALES. The first of the June sales of Short-horns forthe season at Dexter Park, Chicago, took place last week. The first offerings were from the herdof Wm. Smith, Lexington, 111., and the stock was not in the best condition. Fifty-four animals were Bold at an average of fl35. Thirty-five cows and heifers averaged 5155, and the average of the nineteen bulls sold was $108. Nos. 4,9,15,30, an d 40 of the catalogue were withdrawn for various reasons. The offerings the second day were from the herds of A. J. Streeter <fe Sons, New Windsor 111., and these were in fine condition and brought good prices. The total sales were $14,450. The average on femal. ■ was 5372; on bulls, $320. The grand average was 5360. Mr. T. W. Harvey, the Chicago lumberman, was the largest buyer. The'Short-hom cattle offered by Captain Henry C. Meredith, Cambridge city, Ind., on the falling day, the whole lot of 39 averaged about $200 each. Editorslndlana Farmer: My cow went 311 days, dropped a calf that weighed 130 pounds.

Editors Indiana Parmer: It may be of interest to you, as it is an unusual occurence to know that I have a shepherd bitch which in addition to a litter of six puppies, regularly suckles a motherless lamb, and a very pretty sight it is, to see the happy family sucking andsleeping together. W. T. F. Lawrence, Ind. Kentucky Short-horn Sales. Editors Indiana Farmer: Messrs. R. H. Prewitt it E. S. Cunningham, will sell Tuesday, June 27, near Pine Grove, Clark Co., Ky., on C. and O. railroad, about 80 head of finely fashionable bred Short-horns. Among them will be fonnd two elegantly Bates topped Barrington bulls, bred by A. J. Alexander, that wili be an honor at the head of any herd. About 30 young Marys—well topped with Bates and Rose of Sharon bulls, seven Reniek Rose of Sharons. The fine show cow Minna of Elkhill.and her heifer calf by 2d Duke of Barrington, including Mazurkas, Phyllises, Victorias, Desdemonas, etc. All the cows are Bafely in calf to the Barrington bulls above referred to. Farmers desirous of improving their stock, and breeders wishing to improve their • herds, will find this fall an excellent opportunity to do so, as the animals are good individually, and most of them are young and in fine, though not over-fatted condition. Any of our friends will do well to attend this sale, as every animal offered will be sold if their is a bid made on it. Every convenience for strangers attending has been provided for. » ■> i Oreat Value of Shepherd Dogs. Editors Indiana Farmer: In almost every issue of the "Farmer one will see a notice of a large lot of sheep killed by dogs. Let us see and note if some of the farmers are not to blame. Every farmer has a dog, some two or three Ask them about their dogs, what kind and of what use is he, the answer is: "I don't know, my boy got him when he was a pup, or neighbor A or B, he gave him to me." So tho majority you will find won't be of any distinct breed, and the farmer has no object . in view, only a dog to eat the scraps from the table and play with the children, for all children like a dog. Now having so many of these mongrel dogs running all over the oountry, is it any wonder so many sheep are' killed? Nine times out of ten the farmer's own dog is one of this class, and if you ask him why he don't have a Shepherd he will say "oh they cost too much to get a good one," and so they keep what they have. Or if they buy they will endeavor to get a shepherd from some one very low, and the consequence is they get something that is no better than they had. I believe a mongrel Shepherd to be no better, and_will kill- sheep as quick as a sheep killing dog, and I know some fine specimens of Shepherds throughout the country that show no training qualities whatever. I should pronounce them worthless to any body. Now why should the farmer not keep a dog that would render him help and protect his flock from the dangers that surround them? The true shepherd will not kill .heep, but protect them, they do not want t _ see another dog on their own grounds in its place they will warn you that all is not right. Were it not for these dogs what would sheep raising be. to-day in Scotland', or what would the western herder do.' Ask them of what use is the shepherd,.. I believe were it not for my old dog Scotty and for his protection I would suffer the loss of many sheep. Besides this protection of the flock,the Shepherd is always of great value to assist in driving your-stock from one p'ace to another. It is often very convenient to tell your dog to go bring up the cows, or the sheep, and see how nicely it can be done. I have heard persons say they would not believe a dog could do it, but when they see it they think quite differently. The following I clip from the Cornhill Magazine: A fitfpherd lost 'his large fleck * on the o^intains in a fog. After fruit- he returned : to his cottage bid- ollie find the sheep if she could, who was near understood his »mis_rable plight driving before her tl^last stray sheep and carrying in her mouth a puppy of her own. She had of necessity left the rest of her litter to perish on the hills and in the intervals of their birth the poor beast had performed her task and driven the sheep home, her last -puppy only she had contrived to save." Monroe, Ohio. I. A. Conover. National Short-horn Breeders' Association. Representative breeders of Short-horns from all sections of the country met in Chicago last week for the purpose of forming a more powerful organization than has heretofore 'existed, and by issuing a herd book of its own. Mr. Pickerill of 111. submitted the report of the committee appointed last fall to secure a permanent organization. The Short-horn Breeders' association of the United States has been incorporated under the laws of Illinois with a capital stock of 55,000, in shares of 525. It was intended to increase the stock when necessary. In order to give all breeders representation it was arranged to have the stock taken in small amounts, and those having a number of shares were ready to transfer their • EXTRA ALLOTMENTS to such as had not had the opportunity of purchasing stock. Of the two hundred shares of the organization, 173 were represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. A number of transfers were made, and the committee then submitted a further report, recommending the election of a board of eleven directors, two of which, the president and vice president of the association, should be members ex- office. Hon. Emery Cobb, of Kankakee, was unanimously elected president. The other officers elected were as follows: • Vice president, B. F.' Van Meter, of Winchester, Ky.; directors, one year, C. E. Leonard, of Bsllaire, Mo.; T. C. Hammond, of Greencastle, Ind.; A. M. Bowman, of Wayneboro, Va.; two years, T. H. Pickerill, of Harristown, 111.; Col. W. A. Harris, of Lawrence, Kan.; C. A. DeGraff, of Janesville, Minn.; three years, T. L. Harrison, of Waverly, N. Y.; Judge C. T. Nourse, of Des Moines, Iowa; Judge T. C. Jones, of Delaware, O.J A motion by Col. J. W. Judy, requesting the board to take steps toward INCREASING THE CAPITA!- STOCK, was carried. Several speakers explained the idea of the ultimate purpose of the organization in breaking the herd-book monopoly, and securing, if possible, the publication of a standard book under the direction of the association. A motion was made by Mr. R. S. Prewett, of Kentucky, for the appointment of a committee to confer with the proprietors of the present herd-books, and ascertain the terms on which the books could be had. The motion was lost by a majority of one. Judge Nourse, of Des Moines, introduced a resolution favoring a national congress of Short-horn breeders, to be composed of delegates selected by the different state organizitions, whose work it would be to determine the rules under which cattle are real dog haters—are always at their I should be admitted to the record. In sup- homes on the watch. If any thing is not -port of his resolution, Judge Nourse pre sented the possibility of the association's becoming a close corporation, and the herd-book being controlled by a moneyed monopoly whose composition would not necessarily be of Short-horn breeders. He wanted, the rules to be fixed by the repre- se ntative breeders of the country, so that the whole Short-horn interest would have a voice and representation in the record. Mr. T. W. Smith, of Illinois, offered a substitute, providing that no stockholder should have more than one vote on the question of eligibility to the record. An extended discussion followed, in which the sentiment of therms jority ofthe breeders was in favor of leaving the matter to the board of directors with further time for consideration. On the motion of Judge Nourse, both substitute and original resolution were, therefore, postponed indefinitely.:^ Mr. Sanders offered a series of resolutions reciting the insufficient means provided by congress for proper facilities for quarantining foreign cattle against plemo" p neumonia, and that the secretary of the t reasury is hampered by the failure of such provision, and requesting that congress ;make an appropriation of money efficient for the establishment of quarantine quarters at such points in the United States as may seem necessary inthe judgement of the secretary of the treasury. The resolutions were adopted asthe sentiment of the meeting, .and will be forwarded to the members of the house and senate committees on appropriations. ■' —■ « ■» » Pasture for Hogs. Farmers in thegreat hog-producing sections of this country are. paying more at- '^^^^JESfi^^^^.^Bs.'^owthan here- little study, and tried various experiments in that behalf says that [there is no question about green oats and peas being a most appropriate food for pigs, acd that it comes at the very season when pasture is apt to be short. Corn being the most universal fattening food for hogs in the West after cold weather arrives, it is very important that tbe summer food of pigs should be more nitrogenous and better adapted to the development of muscle and bone than oorn. The pea is very rich in muscle and bone-building elements, and oats are also superior to corn in this respect. The oats also assist in holding up the pea vine, so as to prevent early lodging, and thus cause it to retain its succulence longer. The crop should be sown in the proportion of two bushels of peas and one of oats per acre, and well covered. The drill puts them in best. The united crop should produce from 40 to 60 bushels of grain to the acre. Now the grain is only part of the crop. The succulent pea vine is admirable food for pigs, and they should be turned in when the pea is just passing out of the milk. They will then devour the whole plant, and it contains as much nutriment as when fully ripe. The succulent stalk contains from 40 to 50 per cent, as much nutriment as the grain. A good crop ought to produce a growth in live weight on hogs of 500 to 700 pounds per acre. her foot you can havea shoe made which will relieve her while she .wears it, but will give no permanent cure. Shrunken Shoulder. I have a three year old colt that has a shrunken shoulder. He is not much lame; the skin is very loose.

She has had a continual cough for two years or more; does not eat well at times; can't stand hard work; sometimeshersides work like the heaves; hair looks smooth enough but not bright and glossy; runs at the nose once in a great while and discharges a big clot of white looking pus, at other times throws out a large clot of tbe*sa me from her mouth when coughing; at times she is not hardly fit to work. ,J. D. Another neglected case, I suppose. She cannot be cured, which is all your fault. Cut it Out. I have a nice young cow with a calf, three days old, that has something in one front teat that slips when I milk her, and obstructs the flow of milk. She is a very healthy cow, five years old. This is her third calf, and there was nothing wrong before. The substance in teatisjust where it joins tVe udder. I have painted the teat, or rather around it, with tincture of iodine.

She is alright in every other respect; keeps in good order, eats well, hair looks bright, etc.; has been that way for about a year. H. U. G. Use a solution of tobacco, or blister the" parts; scarrifying with a sharp knife is an immediate preventive. Walking on Her Heel. I have a mare that is walking on the heel and elevation of the toe, caused by founder. The foot is not flat, but shaped like the letter V. A Keadek. If you send me the ground measure of Have Tou Bought a Reaperf If not, investigate the merits of the Buckeye Cord Binder, cut of which is given on thiB page. The operation of the this machine is very simple. As the cut grain is discharged from the elevator of the harvester, it is taken by two arms which gather the straw into a bundle, and when it reaches the desired size, presses against a trigger with sufficient foroe to release a catch and throw the tying apparatus into gear. The arms from both sides at once close in upon the bundle of straw, compressing it tightly, so that at the moment of tying there is no tension on the string. All the grain is cut and saved, none is wasted, and the butts of the bundles are brought evenly together by an ad- juster or butter. The bin der can be set to bind a bundle of any desired size, and the tension can be made to bind as tightly as maybe desired. After the machine has been adjusted every bundle delivered will be of the same size, and all will be bound equally tight. _ If the grain is tangled, the packers help to straighten the straws, and, in conjunction with the butter, a very good sheaf is made, even in down grain. A drop-table holds the sheaf until it is bound, and then falls down until the bundle is discharged. The Blow and regular motion of two arms forces the bundle gently away from tho unbound grain. The distance the bundle has to fall is small, so that the separation is as neat, economical and perfect as it can possibly be. Not only is the butter adjustablefor long and short grain, but the Binder itself is easily moved forward and back by the driver without leaving his seat. The knot tying apparatus is very durable. All the small working parts are m ade of cast steel. It remains entirely at rest while the packers are collecting tbo bundle, after which it is the operation of only a moment to put on the band. This binding attachment has now been used through five harvests, and has given the best satisfaction of any twine machine yet constructed. In connection with the Buckeye Harvester, and with the improvements added and tested in the last harvest, and now for the flrst time made available to the farmer, it is one of the most efficient, reliable, and durable cord machines made. The Buckey also has a world wide reputa- ti on as a reaper with Miller's Table ltake, and as a mower either single or combined with the reaper it has no superior.
