Carpenter, near this city, a few days ago received a very flne pair of Jersey Red pigs from Mr. Pettit, of Salem, New Jersey. They are as flne as we have ever seen. We have just received the catalogues of Messrs. Smith & Powell's famous Lakeside Stock Farm, near Syracuse, Kew York. This enterprising firm issue three handsome catalogues describing: 1. Clydesdales. 2. Hambletonians. 3. Holstein Cattle. Their list of Clydesdales numbers 34 head; that of their Hambletonians, 61; their Holstein herd numbers 45 head. It is hardly necessary to say that this firm keeps the best stock to be found in all departments. JMitors Indiana Farmer: As requested, I send a few notes. Stoek doing finely. Have made Borne sales, yet have a few more Short-homs, Cotswold sheep, and Berkshire hogs. Fa- vorite, the State fair premium two-year- ?Id, is growing out nicely.

[ Editors Indiana Farmer: * | The Fat Stoek Show which occurred : the first week in December, was an ex- ' hibition of more than usual importance ! to farmers and stock men. It presented : in a practical form the most substantial: theories that an enterprising agriculturist: could imagine. It showed in such a : plain way just what blood will do, that; no one could successfully question the re-', suits. j When a farmer looks upon thorough- j bred yearling steers, as I did, weighing I from 1,400 to 1,500 pounds, and sees them j sell at six cents per pound, it looks a* j though blood was at a premium. The I Messrs. Brown, of Illinois, showed me their stock, live head of yearlings past- one, however, was two weeks past two years old—one heifer and four steers in all, that weighed, after shrinkage in shipping to the show, an average on,433 pounds. As T said, they were sold at six cents per pound, bringing the nice little sum of $80 10 each. Think of that, ye doubting skeptics. These steers were thoroughbred Short-horns, and were refuse calves, mostly on account of color, one being a white, another red and white, and the others light roans. I do not say that these are bad colors for Short-homs, but they are not fashionable and salable colors with the people who buy even for steer breeding. They were nice, smooth animals, well fatted, and the growth they had made was perfectly surprising for the neat and tasty shape. It is not so difficult to get large animals as it is to breed large, flne animals—those with remarkable size nnd get even throughout in all their most valuable points. These cattle were fed just such food as any farmer in Indiana lias in his barn orori^i^lft«ri~Tlie'y"liad plenty of good hay and com in winter, with a run to grass and corn in summer. As the first one thousand pounds aman puts on his cattle is the most valuable, so is it much more so for a man who can put the 1,400 pounds on while most persons arc getting less than half the weight; and besides a very superior quality of beef like such cattle make, sells for so much more per pound. How many farmers are there in Indiana who think themselves very fortunate if they can get the one-half that these yearlings sold for, viz., SS610, for their four-year-olds at marketing? I say they are very fortunate to get $43 05 for them. There are few scrub steers that bring it, after four years of keeping, money invested and time and energy wasted. Yet many of these same farmers think a breeder of Short-horns is asking too large a price for bull calves when he offers them at S100 each. Any breeder of experience* knows that it is actually more profitable for him to steer his bull calves and get even SCO for them at a year and a half or two years old, rather than sell his bulls at less than $100 each. I say it is more profitable, and the figures will show it, to say nothing of the time and annoyance of beiug "Jewed" after wasting time to sell to unappreciative buyers. The reasons are, that when a calf is steered it ceases to be of any special trouble; it can take common fare with the others, go in the same lot and grow with them, and when it comes to selling the feeder is never "Jewed" on his price. A bull calf must be kept separate from the others after he attains some siz.e. He must be kept in good condition, or nobody wants him. He must be watered and fed regularly, and altogether is much bother until he is a year old, as he is not likely to be sold much before that age. The fat stock show had many other attractions, however. There were bullocks weighing from 3,200 down, and there were, some good cows. Among the latter was a very line specimen from the herd of Mr. Baugh. of Indiana. She took the prize in the Short-horn class, and was decidedly a good one—well fatted, very even throughout, with excellent finish. She was sold to a Montreal firm, the same as the Messrs. Browns' steers. Mr. Gray, of Rush county, also had stock on exhibition. His large steer, weighing about-3,000 pounds, took second prize in the grade list. He was a large and superior animal. There were immense sheep from the United States and Canada, and an excellent show of fat porkers. Altogether, the show was not so large as many expected, but it was very superior and a good beginning. One of the largest and most successful exhibitors was Mr. Gillett, of Illinois, who, I see, has since sold over a hundred steers at his farm for 0| cents per pound, to be exported to Europe. Mr. G. raises all his own feeding stock, says he can not buy such as he wants, and the type of stock he raises and sells is very superior and have met with great favo- in England. , Tho farmers of Indiana are gradually getting into a better class of stock, but the improvements go on very slowly, as is evidenced by the inferior class that comes into the Union Stock-yards at Indianapolis. I think I can say without successful contradiction that for the ntim- Si-u/T- "^ -Ac t^tSt e* i. -»irM*^C 5-i\_,. .^Xx.1 ^as-** -T — *£—— - __\_eC*-.-°-~ ...» ,/--*« w# »*a -^ •■rli.^VVsiuilsii. 1AM X HO-sit asssisrsl Iss J ls a mi fsa.rai <««iist.a. 11 !*><*s,rs»lrs. tikis s. tssraisrss, 1Vfsinrls»irs> bors and u mixed lot 1 never Knwsuch un "ornery" collection of cattle in my life as 1 have seen in the stock-yards there. Why our fanners will insist on losing money, year after year, by raising and feeding grain into .such ungainly and unprofitable stock is lioyond explanation. There need* to be tit least a good Shorthorn bull, and a thoroughbred at that, in every township in the State, while now we will scarcely average much more than one for a county, and 1 know of several counties without a well bred bull in their limits. The ruts ought to get tilled up, or at least, we all ought to get into another track. "H." THE HOC DISEASE. Report of Dr. D. W. Voyles, of New Albany, Commissioner on Hog Cholera—An Important Document. QUERY AND ANSWER. The Kidney Worm and Arsenic. Editors Indiana Farmer: Tell "P. M.," of White county, to.give his hogs arsenic. About ten cents worth in three doses will cure the worst cases of kidney worm. I have used it in many cases, and never have failed. If he will give his hogs a little copperas and wood ashes in their food, the kidney worm will never trouble them, nor cholera either. I feed the above to my hogs, and have never had a case of either in my Dr. Voyles has devoted his time since being appointed on the Hog Cholera Commission faithfully to the work before him, and as will be seen from the extracts from his report below, he'has accomplished valuable results. His report should be placed in the hands of all our Western farmers. A careful perusal will enable breeders to avoid and prevent the diM.-a.se in most instances, if not to etlect cures after it has invaded their liM.JJf^'WV vopy several extracts from the report: The Doctor's observations were made In the counties of Floyd, Harrison, Putnam, Washington, Green, Owen, Morgan, Monroe and Bartholomew. The knowledge and experience of many stock raisers and dealers were made use of, and dissections were made of a large Not only were the i tained a large quantity of matter, eon- | sisting of mucus and broken-down epithe ; tissue. | CHARACTER OF THE DISEASE. ! Judging from the* visible causes that j appear most active in its development, j the symptoms and the pathological evi- j dence disclos<*d, we feel fully warranted j in pronouncing the disease, iu its milder manifestation, bronchial catarrh, and its most active and fahil form, catarrhal pneumonia. There is no symptom uniformly present in the disease that bears analogy to those of cholera as affecting the human family, and the term hog cholera is, therefore, a misnomer. While there is ordinarily but little in a name, in this instance misnaming tlie disease has been tho source of incalculable loss by suggesting a line of treatment irrationally administered, and calculated to aggravate rather than to cure tt. ITS CAUSE. The past history of the disease* seems to indicate that it originated in thiscoun- try at the time when the condition of swine was visibly altered from a comparative .Mate of nature to one of more perfect domestication. When the country- was new, affording almost unlimited range, the .hogs bred, grew up, and roamed in the woods until maturity. Being allowed the free use of their noses, and being omnivorous animals, they fed on worms, roots, mast and such other varieties of food as they could find, or was furnished them by their owners. They exercised as their inclination or necessities inclined them; had free access to numerous springs ami streams of running water, ami slept in storm-sheltering thickets, on beds of clean loaves, and enjoyed under these circumstances, a vigor of constitution and an immunity from disease unknown to tho modem swine- breeders of theeountry. ing almost invariably east their young. If they escape that accident, their off- j spring usually tlie soon after farrowing. Subsequent litters, liorn after the female I has entirely recovered from the disease, are equally vigorous with the produce of such as have not had it, and do not exhibit' any more aptitude for the disease. The. opinion obtains, however, that the male is more seriously affected by. the disease, and after recovery from it, is seldom a vigorous and reliable hreeder. , I'liEVEXTIOX OK THE DISEASE. ' ' * The widespread prevalence of the dis- i ease, its rapid courses and dreadful fatality, fully warrant the opinion that measures of prevention, if discovered and applied, will be more beneficial in their results than the discovery of a successful line of treatment, unless that treatment shall consist of some specific remedy, a practicable use of which in the hands of the farmer can Ik* made during all stages ami modifications of the disease That such a remedy will be diseovere«l,in our opinion, is not within the range of probability. The measures necessary to prevent disease in domestic animals embrace within their range a careful study of their natural habits and wants, and *a . strict observance of tlie general laws of health that govern all animal life,' the principles of which are the same in application to inferior animals as to the human race. - . - , \ , number of carcasses, l7fora.i_'am'"oHh^ sure preventive | diseasedissected, but animals in all stages Say to "M.

Plymouth, Marshall Co., Dec. 20. Another Remedy. For the Indiana Farmer. I see in the last number of the Farmek that "P. M." wants to know if any one has a cure for kidney complaint in hogs. For his benefit and that of others, I would say there is no such tlisease. All hogs have worms about their kidneys. I have examined a great many hogs that were broken down behind, and have invariably found the back-bone partly un- jointed at the coupling. If any one hasa hog that he thinks has kidney worms, let him take the trouble of putting it in an easy swing, and I will guarantee that itwiH get well. A. C. C. Syracuse, Dec. 24. The Berkshires and Hog Cholera. Editors Indiana Farmpr: I see it suggested that the "hog cholera" was introduced by the importation ofthe "Berkshire" hog. I can not perceive how that could be the case, as I was acquainted with the "Berkshire" twelve or fifteen years before I ever heard of "hog cholera." I am more inclined to the opinion advanced by some of your correspondents, that the disease originated with those curses of the nation, "the distilleries." Long live the Fahmeii for its advocacy of temperance, morality, justice, and whatever is for the people's good. A. H. T. At home, Dec. 2.1. — as —i -» Lord Charlemont and other large breeders in Ireland relate that Government buys a large number of three- year-olds as four-year-olds (at four-year- old prices), being deceived as to their age by tlie practice of drawing the pair of nipper teeth on each side of the central nippers, the latter having already become permanent, superseding' the milk teeth in the same place; the former, after the third year, are in the process of absorption by the permanent teeth. By drawing them, the permanent teeth are made to come more easily, and the horse appears as if he had advanced to the age at which the teeth in question arc naturally shed. This deceit is too often practised; an experienced eye may discover it. from a want of proper appearance of wear and growth in the other teeth, but it not unfrcquently passes undetected. —. —- » »i Prolific Sow.—Mr. William Foster, says the Hartford (Ky.) Herald, has a Poland China sow that has dropped forty- six pigs inside of the last two years. In December, 187R, she dropped nine; the next was in September, 1877, she dropped eleven; in April, 1S78, she dropped seventeen, and in this month the dropped nine. A single brood sow like this is enough for any ordinary farmer. to the hopeless stage, were killed for the purpose of dissection. Care was taken to determine whether the disease, as it prevailed in one section, was identical with that prevailing in another. rATHOMKlY. Memoranda of thirty dissections made from fifteen separate and distinct herds, fairly representing the disease as observed under all the varied circumstances as to locality, sijil, food, water, and general management, show the following results: Iu every case, without exception, disease of the lungs was present, varying in degree from slight congestion to complete softening from suppurative inflammation. In two cases the lung disease was tuberculous in character. In eight cases adhesion occurred between the castal pleura and the lungs. In six cases circumscribed spots of inflammation were found on the walls ofthe heart and its investing membrane, with eflusion in pericardial sack. In six cases, congestion of the mucus membrane of the stomach. In four cases, small patches of ulceration of mucus lining of large intestine. in four cases, slight inflammation of mucus membrane of small intestine. In all eases the liver presented adarker hue than natural. In four eases slightly, and'in one greatly enlarged, but in all j others the size and general appearance j would compare favorably with that organ I as observed in animals usually regarded j sound. | In four cases there was enlargement of tlie spleen, in all cases discoloration, as in case of the liver. In four cases there was slight congestion of the kidneys, in one case evidence of fatty degeneration, in all others that organ indicated a healthy condition. Tlie blood was always very dark colored, and the muscles pale colored and relaxed. The disease of tho lung was in all cases the leading pathological indication, to which all other diseased appearances observed were secondary in importance, constituting complications only. A section of tlie lung of an animal slaughtered during the active inflammatory stage of the disease shows, under the microscope, a complete solidification of lung tissue, the air-cells being filled with epithilial exudatio^ 'no fibrin or extravasated blood appearing. A section of the liver from the same animal shows thickening of the sephe acini and a complete destruction of some of the acini by proliferation of epithilial cells, leading to, or constituting, fatty degeneration. Other acini in the same section exhibit a perfectly healthy condition. A section of the intestines from the same animal shows a healthy condition. The contents of the stomach and intestines were liquid in six cases, and dry, hard and very black iu all others. The gall bladder usually contained a small quantity of thin, greenish fluid. The bronchial tubes and trachea con- P°. and fence the land for agricultural purposes, the lank, active, long-nosed hog of the pioneer age began to disappear in order to give place to a new and more advanced civilization in the history of his race. A close business calculation demonstrated that a hog fed to profit on food the product of manual labor, must have an inbred tendency to lay on flesh, and this tendency encouraged by confinement to limited quarters, and giving an amount of food equal to the highest consumptive capacity of the animal. The hog of to-day is the result of presistent inbreeding for an obese habit, encouraged by want of exercise and over feeding. An animal quite comely in shape, early in maturity, of strongly developed fattening tendencies, and of enfeebled constitution is the intelligent and natural result. An animal thus deprived^ in part, of the constitutional vigor of its ancestry, forced to give up the instinctive habits of its race in obedience to the regulations of modern farming, must necessarily have acquired a tendency to disease. If under these circumstances, in the mod ern era of hog raising, the animal is more frequently exposed to disease-producing causes, a general prevalence of disease must be the result THE PISEASK AS AFFECTING DIFFEREXT JiUEEDS. This branch of the subject was forced upon our attention by parties who claimed, in behalf of certain breeds, a partial or complete immunity from the disease. Unfortunately our opportunities for observation in this regard were not good, since all the animals we saw were grades in which the Berkshire and Poland China blood largely predomin ated. The best information gained upon this subject was to the effect that all breeds for which immunity was claimed were those not in general use, and that the absence of loss from such breeds was due to the smaller number of such animals existing in the diseased districts. Such claims were made in behalf of the Chester Whites and Ited Jerseys; we saw none of either breed in our travel, sick or well. Possibly the Jersey Reds may escape the disease for one or two generations better than other breeds, from these considerations: They have been quite recently introduced in the West, and are an Eastern bred animal, developed in a section where the practice of inbreeding, overfeeding and close confinement does not prevail to the same extent as among Western breeders, and probably have, therefore, a more vigorous constitution, better enabling them to resist diseased tendencies. THE RECURRENCE OF THE DISEASE. All experienced breeders agree in the opinion that animals that recover seldom have it a second time, and state that in purchasing animals to feed they always prefer such as have gone through the epidemic. We are inclined to accept this opinion as of little consequence, for the reason that such as are fed for pork do not afford a sufficient lapse of time to clearly demonstrate this point; andj on the contrary, among breeding animals that are allowed to live older, in which timely opportunity is given, our information is that a second attack is not an infrequent occurrence. EFFECT OF THE DISEASE ON BREEDING ANIMALS.' In plat Ko. 1,1 planted three"grains to the hill, without manure. In plat No. 2, four grains to the hill, with about one gill of soft ground bone to the hill, or 127 pounds to tlie plat, about three-fourths of an acre. The corn came up equally well on each plat, and wai plowed and cultivated the same in all respects. The manured plot showed best at first plowing, and continued so, and on the 10th of July was at least ten inches taller than the other plat, and came in tassel some days earlier, but after this time I could see no gain over the unmanured piece. Both plate were cut and shocked early in September, and husked and weighed on the 12th of November. The unmanured plat yielded 52 bushels, at 70 pounds per bushel. The plat treated with soft ground bone yielded 45 bushels and 29 pounds, at 70 pounds per bushel. Each plat contained 24 rows and the ground was equally good, as near as I could judge. EXPERIMENT ON WHEAT. February 28,1878,1 sowed 200 pounds of ground bone, 50 pounds dried blood and *100 pounds salt, on 172 rods of ground. The ground selected was the most unpromising corner of an eight-acre piece of Clawson wheat. In laying off the plat of ground, I left on three sides, on the outer bounds, 170 rods that had no fertilizer, with which to compare the yield. During the spring and summer there was little, if any, difference in growth or appearance until the wheat was filled. Then the only noticeable difference was in the increased number of grains in a mesh, and possibly an increased length of the heads. The wheat was harvested on the same day, but on one side, next a piece of woods, the unmanured plat was badly down, and was not cleanly harvested. The wheat was threshed, and by machine measure the yield of the unmanured plat was 11$ bushels, and the plat that was fertilized, as above described, yielded 22 bushels. While the result was very satisfactory, I do not consider that the test was quite fair on account of not harvesting the unmanured part as well as it should have been. 'To That's the Be, or Not to Be, Question:— "Whether'tis nobler in themind,to suffer tho slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to tako up arms against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end them." Whether it is nobler to eko out a miserable existence at the free lunch counter, and by fiating various tradesmen out of necessary supplies; or to go to the broad prairies of the West, accept a homestead from Uncle Sam, settle down, raise hogs, grasshoppers and American citizens, that's the question. "Young man, go West, take the Vandalia Line, the shortest, quickest, best and cheapest route, and in after years as you sit beneath your own vine and fig tree and serenely contemplate tho fruitful results of your wise action and industry, you will fully realize how much nobler 'tis , A Large Colt.—In Lincoln county, j Kentucky, they have a colt foaled last Females having the disease while breed-1 April that isnownhandslj inches high. mm
