those sections OF the country that produce
the most grass, and it is stated as a fact that
II these horses are removed to sections where
good grass is the exception and not the rule
that they rapidly deteriorate. The lime
stone sections of the United States are de-
cidedly in advance of other sections in the
production Of fine horses. This indicates
what is needed in growing the best possible
horse, and sections not thus favored by ma
ture can to a large extent supply the natu-
raj deficiencies by the selection OF the feed
best adapted to grow bone and muscle.
The colt should be kept in a thrifty growing
condition, and should not be unnecessarily
subjected to the changes of our very change
able winter weather. Were we raising
horses for our w use, we would feed Just
as little grain as possible while growing,
and il we could keep the condition and
thrift up to our ideal with blue grass, timo-
thy, and clover, we would not use any grain.
During the rigors of winter when it is nee
essary to warm up the colts, grain fed with
proper Judgment will be found advantage
GUS. A change of diet helps both appetite
and digestion, and consequently the health
of our stock, and is relished by the brute
creation as much as by mortals more pre-
tentious.-Joaumal Of Agriculture.

cALoMEL FOR HOG DISEASE,

Calomel was at one time supposed to be
almost a specific for all the disease which
4" flesh is heir to-" and while this remedial
agent will probably never go out of use it
has lost some Of its popularity. We notice
that a correspondent Of the Southern FARM
er. recommends calomel for disease of swine
and we give his experience.
Last fall ] had a litter OF eight choice pigs
somewhat similarly attacked. They be-
came scabby about the eyes and bones OF the
head, would eat mineingly, purge, cough,
dwindle-and all died in from one to three
weeks after the attacks, although l used va
riOus remedies, none of which seemed to
have any good effect. Soon after these all
died, one pig of another litter was attacked,
and as an experiment [ gave it about
fifteen grains OF calomel, and it got well i'm
mediately, and none of the others became
affected. This spring, the same SOW which
lost all her pigs last fall, had another litter.
and when a few weeks old they began with
the bad symptoms, and two died before |
thought OF the calomel. I gave it to four
others affected, and all got well. From these
experiments and their success, / deem their
publication worth the attention of the farm
ers. | noticed the same disease prevails
amongst pigs in Ohio and other localities.
and | have great faith in calomel as a RENE
dy, be the disease what it NAV.

WEAVING COLTS.

Inc proper way to Wean colts is not a
matter OF discussion to those who have
learned by experience. If the colt and dam
have been properly ted and managed, the
weaving amounts to little more than keep
ing dam and colt apart, and the proper
treatment of each. Mares not used but SUIT
tered to run on the pasture through the sea-
son with their folds should be taken I'D pri-
or to weaving time and fed, not only to stop
the greater flow Of milk produced by the
grass, but that the colt may learn to eat be-
fore being thrown entirely on its own re-
sources. When weaving time arrives, sepa-
rate the mare and colt, in such a manner as
to make the separation complete and final.
we would not keep the colt stabbed longer
than a week or ten days, during which time.
if properly managed it can be turned to pas
ture, the feeding, however, should continue
regularly not less than twice each day. In
this corn region Of ours, corn is the stand
ard food for everything. and we use it in
discriminatory for feeding, regardless ofage,
season or condition. If fat is the ultimatum
ofour desires, then we should feed in con-
nection with a good assortment of food all
the corn the colt will eat. Ii, however, we
want bone, muscle, endurance, and long
life, we had better use in connection with
grass, good hay, sheaf oats, rye, barley, and
wheat brand. Horses are not sold like
porkers Or beef cattle nor should they be
raised and fed like them. Our best, hardi-
est, and most useful horses are raised i'll

WANTS TO BUY A MERIHn RAM

A gentleman above the average of intelli-
geice of our well-to-do farmers, writes very
sandidly and fairly that he wants to buy a
"Merino ram, large, stout and good, that

and yet pay well for extra care and. keep

HORSES RUBBING THE TAU.

The writer once had a horse that rubbed
his tail till the skin as well as hair was ta-
ken Off and a bad sore was made. All sorts
of remedies were tried with little success
Strong. vinegar well rubbed all over the DOS
terror answered a good purpose in partially
checking the evil. Coal oil was also efficient
but as the trouble was more deeply seated
neither proved to be all that was needed.
The small white worms, sharp at both ends.
known as Asoarldes, kept up an itching ir-
rltatlon which nothing could cure till they
were removed. Various remedies were used.
the most ~effectual being small quantities of
DRIED leaf tobacco, crulnbled among the feed
with plenty Of salt and ashes always at
hand to lick. BY feeding tobacco in this
way once a day, for a couple of months, the
tlck was entirely overcome, though it occa-
slonally returns, requiring a repetition of
1fie same remedies internally, with the ex-
ternal application of coal oil.

Is he to take all the rains of summer ant

fence to break off the frosty, pinching winds
Is he to take all the SHOWS too? And then
after being through all these perils of life, is
he to produce lambs and a fleece, as the
breeder represented he would? He will no
do'it. 1t is out of the natural order oftllings
1t never has been done. Such a ram as. oul
friend wants to buy will cost 500. He is
very particular. 1t must be a fancy-bred
stylish, xxx RAM, Of promise enough to
expect a twenty-five to thirty pound fleece
Then when lie fails to do what the breeder
promised for him, there will be reckoning
with the breeder. His sheep are not what
he represented them. They are pampered,
stuffed, perhaps st~ubborn-shorn. Anyhow.
that man will never fail to put in a word
against that breeder for the failure of that
ram to do just as much when made to
+" stand any amount of hard treatment,' as
he would have done had he been treated
half as we'll as a decent hog would have
been treated. The hog would be fed some
corn and put in a dry nest to sleep. These
sheep, which are required to stand hard treat
ment, are never the ones you hear fine re.
ports from. Generally the owner will say
his sheep don't do well. He thinks they are
tender, Or run out, or that the ram he has
been USING was no account, and all such
thinuS Ha pavar taIlc tho ,,aal oo,,eo
Now, we know there are breeders who
use all kinds of tricks to sell their stock.
We know there are plenty of men. who ex-
pect to buy a No. / ram for $40 to pl5 they
say they can't afford to pay any more--they
won't pay any fancy prices at all. They
thus force the breeder to represent his stock
as fully as good as it is, if mot a little better.
1t is a question of who is sharpest in a trade.
The breeder may be a little dishonest; they
are like other classes of men, and put the
best face on things but by close dickering,
a trade is made, and the w~ool-grower thinks
he has gotten a bargain in his $40 ram. He
may have selected the ram himself from the
flock. In appearance, he thought him EQUAL
to the $500 ram; the breeder knew better,
but the man thought he was having it all
his W way with the trade-and so he was.
He did not know anything, and put HIM
self up against the breeder, who did know.
In this way, too, disappointment comes to
the buyer. The breeder finally gets all the
blame for the failure, when in either case he
was not to blame, ifjudged as they would
judge a horse jockey-thoagh it is no
very great wonder that he sharps a little
when he is forced into narrow straits.
There are two sides. to this thing, and all
the sharpers and shiftless ones are not breed
ers. Divide up the causes of d%isappoint-
ment and take your share.-RuaI World.

IMPORTANT FROM THE BLACK HILLS
VIA FORT LARAMIE.

Fort LARAMIE, Jan. 5ih, 1876.
EDITOR CHEYENNE LEADER
Miners who have arrived here for
supplies, report a party from Missouri
River arriving in the Hills, worn out
fighting indians on their long and
tedious journey. The Indians north
of here consider the country open,
and a large number of miners are en-
route, going and coming. The Sioux
do not disturb travel on the routes to
the Black Hills from this place.
Allen and his varieties from Chey-
enne have arrived in the hills. B.

Tie New Era.

The present year promises to mark
an important epoch in the history of
the progressive development of the
trans Missouri region. The opening
of the Black Hills and the occupancy
of that country by the civilized race,
is O an assured fact. Whether the
indolent savages. who claim the
Black Hills ms their heritage, shall
peacefully consent to the occupancy
of tbat.region, or whether they forci-
bly, resist the eneroachments of the
white man on their prerogative, the
tide that has set in toward Harney's
Peak and Custnr Park can never
again be turned back.
Whether the new Eldorado shall
fulfill the snnguine hopes of the ad-
ventures who r now invading the
Black Hills, or whether disappoint-
ment awaits these gold hunters, one
thing is certain, the revolution
wrought by the invasion will be per-
manent. II the precious metals in
that country do not prove abundant
enough or sufficiently ~reinunerative
for men of small means. the prolific
soil and the great timber belt of the
Black Hills will furnish sufficient
and paying employment to every
man who may venture into that
country for the next decade. Even
II a large proportion Of the aiventu-
rers should, in case of disappoint-
ment, seek their fortunes elsewhere,
thousands will remain permanently
to Till the soil ard work the timber.
The Black Hills are, however, not
the only region that will encounter
the tide of civilization during the
present year. The Big Horn country
and the Yellow Stone Valley furnish
great attractions to energetic men
who are foot-loose aud anxiously
seeking locations that promise better
homes, or remunerative employment.
The accessibility of these new mining
districts, TO men Of limited means,
will doubtless induce many to ven-
ture into this new field, who could
not have been induced to brave the
hardships incident 10 far-western
travel before the Pacific railroad was
built. Ten years ago it would have
taken three months of ox-team travel
from Omaha-to the Red Cloud reser-
walton. Now the journey Fan be ac-
complished in three days.
If the tide of immigration into the
Wyoming mining regions becomes
very brisk next spring, we may rea-
sonably anticipate the extension of
railroads into the Hills before the
expiration of the year. Omaha Bee.
