TRADE AND CoSrMERCE.

I'm Several Departments Trade Assuming
Quite Respectable Proportions.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 81.
A trip through the several local markets shows
In several departments quite respectable vol
ume of trade in progress, and indications are
that with few days of mild weather the inn
provement viii extend to other departments, in
which the movement is still sluggish. Yet the
depression is gradually disappearing. During
al this depression economy of production has
been closely studied. Iron. Steel cloth, tools
machines and machinery, and manufactured
products of every description, are now being
made for lees than before. Old machinery has
been largely replaced. Capacity of all kinds has
been impreved and enlarged, and the country To-
day Is in better condition than ever before to
bear up against any unfasorable or de-

Tips of Horses Feet.

There are many cases in which
farm horses need no shoes in the sum.
mer, and would be better without them.
A horse owned by the writer, had hard.
dry hoofs, and contracted feet, which
was caused by natural tendency, in
creased by shoeing with high calks.
For want ofuse, the frog had withered
away, and the horse was always lame.
The shoes were taken off, and tips
only, were used. These were thin
plates reaching around the fore hall
of the hoof only, to protect the toes
from wearing away. The frog and the
heels thus came to the ground at every
step; the bars were able to spread. and
the proper functions of the feet, to
preserve healthtul action and growth,
were given full play. The horse soon
became sound, the frog grew health
fully, and the feet were in perfect
order, while the expense of shoeing
was greatly reduced.

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

AS this disease is making much
trouble ard loss in this state at this
time, ] thought perhaps it would not
be out OF place for me to state through
your valuable paper the result of an
experiment made the last year, and
continuing to the present time.
In 1883 we had on our farm about
10 hogs, weighing from 30 pounds to
400 pounds, live weight In the
month Of September they commenced
to show unmistakable evidence OF the
disease, and as result about so per
cent died, and this after prescribing
all the remedies that could be heard
of.
With this experience / was the bet
ter prepared for the return OF the dis
ease the next year. We commenced
the season OF 1884 with II shoats
weighing about 100 pounds each, di-
vided into FIVE different pens. In the
month OF August the disease appeared
again IN its most violent form in a
pen of seven, one was dead, and two
more were unable to..walk or eat.
The symptoms were all of the chol-
era character. Immediately gave 40
drops Of carbolic acid to each hog and
continued this twice daily for two days.
The sick ones recovered and no more
was seen OF the trouble until October,
when in another pen one was taken
sick, followed Immediately by three
more. The same remedy was again
resorted to and all recovered but one.
From that time until all were butcher.
ed no more was seen OF the disease,
but an occasional use of the carbolic
acid was had as preventive.
This winter, with lot of seventeen.
using no preventive, the disease again
made lis appearance, but was immedi,
ately stopped by the same remedy.
For well-grown hog Iwould give
less, using 1t also as a deodorizel
about the trough and pen.
