My Dear Sir;    •
In the Farmer of the 13th inst is a
communication from you, respecting the
cure of the disease commonly known as
"hog cholera." While I appreciate the
kindly nature of ycur criticism, I must
still insist upon it, that you are wrong in
your conclusions, and that Dr. Dunlap is
right.
Dr. Dunlop (not Dunlop) has a national reputation. He was educated at Columbia College, in the District of Columbia, and is also a graduate .of the Maryland Medical Institute. His long practice in the hospital of Baltimore, and
his position as surgeon in the army, have
given him superior facilities for perfecting himself in his chosen profession.
Though he has treated thousands of
casrs, he has not, in the last sixteen years,
lost a single case of diphtheria. This
may'seem incredible, but it is nevertheless true. He has patients in nearly
every state in the Union. I have to-day
written to him, at his Iowa home, and
have asked him to prepare a short article
for the press, which will be a kind reply
to your strictures. It will be interesting
reading.. I beg, again, to say to you that
you are in error, respecting your view of
"septic" poison, and of the "typhoid"
form of hog cholera, but I will let Dr.
Dunlap speak for himself. If he is wrong,
you, no doubt, will be able to show it,
and it is a duty you owe to the public to
show it, if he is wrong.
My statements in a former number of
tbe Farmer are easily substantiated. I
will give the names of hundreds of farmers, who will verify all that I have Baid.
Are you willing to meet Dr. Dunlap before a company of scientific men and
submit-the matter to them? I propose
such an ordeal, and that the result be
published in t_fe Farmer.

grades are profitable and desirable for the
meat market, they are often no better for
breeding than the veriest scrub, although
they are often fine looking. Experience
nas proven that they cannot be relied on
as breeders, while thoroughbreds that
have been carefully bred for years, reproduce their like with unvarying promptness. It is therefore better to pay a fair
price for full blood than to take a scrub
for nothin?. Many s' ock men have paid
dear for this experience; have started
•with a good full blood sire, arid saved the
best offspring for breeding, which, answers
well for the females, hut for the male to
breed from invariably runs back, instead
of improving or even maintaining the same
ground. Then there is time and money
lost, and we would like to make this a
maxim for every farmer to adopt in the
breeding of farm stock: Breed only from
fu'-l blood sires,-wheth*r cattle for beef, or
milk, horses for work, hogs for meat, or
sheep for wool and mutton.—Western Agriculturist.

To the Editors Indiana Farmer :
I have been thinking for some time of
communicating my ideas to you as to the
propriety of the Farmer publishing the
common laws of Indiana relating to stock,
to fences, to trespass on lands, to the right
of way, to sheep killed by dogs, to water
drains and ditching, and all points of law,
pertaining to transactions of interest to the
farmer. I believe it would be to the in-
terest'of your already valuable snd inter
esting paper and aho to the thousands of
farmers who do not and cannot have access
to the revised statutes of Indiana If a
difficulty occurs between' two farmers,
and the lawyer is consulted.^ he
ed, he does not do it for nothing. His ad
vice is dear. We do not want to spend our
hard earnings in that way. I had rather
give it to the poor. If we know the law
beforehand, we will not be as likely to tres
pass as if we are ignorant of it. It would
be likely to have them settle their difficulties between themselves. The laws should
be published in plain English, so that "a
way faring man though a fool, need not
err therein." One, two, three or four sec
tions a week would be enough.
Daniel Bulla.
We have frequently published the laws,
or extracts from them, pertaining to certain points, on which enquiry was made by
our subscribers, and are quite willing to do
so still, but question whether our readers
would thank us for devoting any considerable space in each issue to thia pur-
nose. If readers will name the laws they!
desire to see printed in the Farmer, w e wi'.lj
give half a column or so from time to time
to their publieaaion. In compliance with
Mr. Bulla's suggestion we give below the
act approved March 12th*. 1877, on

Hog Disease Statistics.
A correspondent writes us: Senator
Paddock, of Nebraska, who is chairman of
the Senate Committee on agriculture, has,
with commendable energy, been engaged
recently in collecting the statistics of the
diseases which afiect hogs. He bas, in
consequence, become alarmed at the number and violence of these diseases, and the
frightful mortality which prevails among
these animals. With a view of checking
this yearly "dead" loss of capital, which,
he believes can be attributed only to the
ignorance which prevails in regard to this
matter, he proposes to draw up a bill asking congress to appoint a commission of
three of the best veterinary surgeons in the
country, to inquire into the causes and
proper remedy of these diseases. Hogs

Oxford, Ohio, Apr. 1.
Jas. Morton,
2p§?:
I see a statement made in your paper of
last week and credited to Mr. Lowder,
which is deserving of correction.  In speak
ing at the Short-horn convention of pedi
gree etc., he is made to state that "the
bull Muscatoon had a poor pedigree back
of his parents, but  was a good sire," and
again, Mazurka was a good cow but her
pedigree ran back tothe woods."   The re
mainder of his remarks are so unintelligible that I presume he has not been correct
ly reported.
I wish to say for the information of your
readers and in justice to good pedigrees
and well bred Short horns that Muscatoon
had not only a good pedigree, but that it
was a superior one. Also that "Mazurka"
does not "trace to the woods," as stated.
She had a capital pedigree, and stock
tracing to her not only are very excellent
individuals, but have in their veins as good
blood as is to he found. I suppose lhat
Mr. Lowder's remarks have been reported
incorrectly, as I do not think he is so ig
noraut of Short horn pedigrees as to make
the statements you impute to him.    H.
The New Departure.
In this issue we present to our readers
an illustration of the original Tongueless
Cultivator. This cultivator, although
quite a recent invention, is now recognized as the leading cultivator of the day in
all localities where it has been introduced.
Its success has been simply wonderful,
and without a parellel in the history of
farm implements. Its great merit consists in its being capable of performing better work, and a larger amount of it in a
given time, with two-thirds the labor for
the man and team that is required on
tongued cultivators; in its capability of
plowing closer to the'fences and cultivating the last hill in the row; of turning
short and quickly at the ends of rows
without tramping down the plants; of
cultivating corn in the most advanced
stages of growth -without breaking the
tall stalks; its freedom from "neck draft,"
obviating sore necks and the galling of
horses' shoulders, leaving the team in a
sound condition to work on the mower
and reaper following corn planting.
When farmers use "The New Departure,"
and discover these results, tbey never go
back to the.tongued cultivators, but wonder that so simple and effective machines
were not invented before.
Its only opposition has been found among
the manufacturers of tonged plows, many
of whom, having recognized. the inevitable, are now abandoning tbeir tongued
cultivators, and putting forth the tongue-
less of various forms, some of which, we
are creditably informed are palpable infringements of "The new Departure,"
which is protected by thirteen distinct
patents and re-issues. Others, in their
anxiety to avoid the claims in these patents, are offering to trade tongueless
cultivators; which will be found inoperative in the field.
Every farmer, therefore, should get the
genuine, 'The New Departure," in which
he will be fully protected in its use. Mr.
B. L. McOuart is the authorized agent
for these machines in this city, Nos. 61
and 63, West Washington St. See advertisement.
entrances to the exposition grounds, whose
decidedly French physiognomies found
no counterpart either at Philadelphia, oi
at yienna, one might easily fancy himself trar sported to Fairmount Park, in
December 1875, or to the Prater in 1874.

stTWJ^&^^^^Os -.courtesy of Mr;
missioners, who arrived in Paris a few
days ago, I had been furm'shed with this
requisite, and, therefore, found no difficulty in gaining adnrssion. It had been
raining the day before, and the grounds
were very sloppy, muddy, and altogether
inimical to Parisian polished boots. Huge
girders lay scattered across the paths
leading to the main entrance, between
which other privileged visitors were carefully picking their way. A short distance to the left ofthe entrance, a huge
cage-looking structure may be discerned]
behind which, Austrian workmen smoking enormous tobacco pipes while they
work, are engaged in putting together
tbe frame of the Austro-Hungarian
house. A stone's throw from them are
Norwegian carpenters putting up a yellow pine structure in the peculiar style
of architecture of the land of Thor; and
still further southward we pass the Swiss
workmen, who are constructing a charm
ing little chalet; the Chinese and Japanese, who are preparing moet gorgeous
and grotesque show-cases, all resplendent with carving and gilding; and the
Turks, who, notwitt standing their war
with Eussia, have found time to erect a
handsome little cbioeque, from which the
banner with the half moon floats, ever
so saucily, as if the Czar hadn't said "Turkey"' once I.
The annex now in course of construe
tion for the United States will cover
10,000 square feet, which is additional to
the space allotted us in the main building. A short wing connects this annex
with the main nave or alley, just back of
the Swedish and Norwegian sections, who
will be our next door neighbors. The
motive power for the American machinery division will be furnished by a
very fine steam engine of one hundred
horse power, manufactured by Jerome
Wheelock, of Worcester, Mass., which
compares very favorably in finish, if not
in size, with the Giant Corliss engine that
furnished the motive power in Machinery
Hall, at our Philadelphia exhibition. A
shaft from this engine will psss through
the agricultural annex for the purpose of
showing the agricultural machinery
exhibited there in motion. The greatest
attraction in this section, however, will
be a magnificent display, prepared by the
agricultural department at Washington,
of cereal and other agricultural products
from all the states and territories of the
Union, artistically arranged to form a
terrace, which will be surmounted by the
coat of arms of the United States.
