Meeting of the Bhort Hon Breeders of the State Tuesdty. Proceedings of tha Flrit Day's Session An Essay by J. W. Robe, of Greencastle, oa tbi UlRUs Qatiltles of Snort Horns. Jh Indiana Short H.rn Breeders' Awoclatioa met Tuesday afternoon at the rooms of the State Board of Agriculture at 2 o'clock, with Hon. Thomas Nelson in the chair, the President, Jade H. Cravens, of Pendleton, harin? died during the Interim since the last session. 1 There were present: Governor William?, Claude ITathews. Vermillion Coun7; W. W. Thrasher, Groves Poatoffice; T.W. W. Sanman, Spaies, .Sicretary; 8. F. Lockride and J. W. Rabe, Greencaatle; S. R. Qaick, Columbus; Albert and James Marian, Milton; Thos. Wilhoit, Middletowc; Dr. J. P. rorsjth, Franklin; II. C. Meredith, Cambridge City; J. B. Dinsmore, Bloomington, and others. . V. W. Thrasber intoduced a resolution, which was adopted, appointing Committee of three to select a short-hand reporter. The Cotnmit'.es selected Mr. Raymond, of this city. Toe following preamble and resolution was introduced, and adopted by a . rising vote: Whereas In the providence of God, who role trie destinies of men and nations oar beiuyed citizen and ex -President of our Association. Hon. Judge H. Cravens, has been removed fro:u n-i by death; therefore, Resolved, Thai we feel that we have lost a valuable member of our Association, a good citizen, and thai we cherish his memory with grateful recollections and deeply sympathize with hlat-tmlly and Iriends In their loss and that our Secretary be autnorlzed to mall to his . family a copy of this resolution. Sicretary Sanman reported the expenditures in hfs office for the past year. Treasurer W. W. Thrasher reported $54 50 in the treasury. Pursuant to programme, the following essay was submitted by John W. Robe, Greencaatle, on the MILKING QUALITIES OF SHORT HORNS The milting qualities of Bhort Horns: How developed, bow maintained, and at what age to breed in order to develop the best milking qualities. Tula is a subject fall of vital importance to every Short Horn breeder, and I may say to the whole country; and one upon which at least, naif their utility depends I do not intend to attempt to pay all that may be said in their lavornsmlltcer upon this occasion, but to speak ot some of tuelr ancient dairy finalities and shew how well they have been and many of tbem are yet adapted to the Ulrv and as family cows, and why they Should be the exclusive cuttle of this country. lam aware that an Impression does prevail with srm that Short Horns will do for beef, but they are poor milkers It Is a fact that many of our Short Horn breeders have given their attention to the form and symmetry of the body and to fancy pedljree, to tlie neglect of the milking qualities, to a great extent, till some are badly impaired as miikers, and from this the impression has gotten abroad. The .Short Horns gained their first notorlty In England for their wonderfal milk and butter producing qualities, where they long have stood hitfh as the chief dairy stock; because they coibM:-." the milk and beef qualities In 'the same auimal. Bui. this nallty of the. Short Horns has been lost silit o: by many of our American breeders in tbeir zeal to produce a tine symmetrical form. Mil. I must confrs. they have deteriorated to some extent In this partlcu. lar in our hands; still the milking qualities aii Inherent in the race, as every handler of tnem very well knows, for it frequently crops out in every lamlly in spite of all their efforts to repress it. The baef production shonld not be neglected, bat the ame Is true of the milking qualities, and had tbe same attention been given to the TuUtcing qualities as to the beof productions, for the äst quarter of a century, the Short Herns woaMhAve been qutte as renowned for their mitklug qualities as for thei present beef productions. Iu tae wide beef-producing districts of our country there has been a great temptation, no doubt, to disregard the milking qualities, as milk was of little consequence neyond that of raising a Cue calf. And hence many have given no thought or care to the production of niUk, and sumced u to pas unnoticed, ana consequently deteriorated in this respect. Tue value ot cattle, as of everything else, depends on thir adaptations to the purposes intended. The breed that tills most completely all these requirements will be the most sought after, and consequently will command the highest price. Cattle are bred chiefly for beef and milk. As a beef-prod acing breed there is no animal that equals the worlu renown Short Horn. 1 ask, then, can they possess first-class beef qualities and first-class milking qualities at the same time? I answer most assuredly these two qualities can be combined In this matchless breed. The cow of this breed has every requisite to manufacture food into milk on a much larger scale than any other breed, because she has larger digestive organs and is capable of using them to this purpose if so encouraged. And then, when no longer wanted to raise calves of the h Igest value and give milk, she is quickly fattened and turned to a good account with the butcher. Tne aim has been of many Short Horn breeders, if we may judge by tbelr actions, to produce a fine beef animal alone, which practice should be al-contlnned, lor by proper care tne fine beef animal and the excellent dairy cow may as easily be combined in this breed as the one quality alone. Is the Sliort Horn cow JoBt what she might be as a dairy cow? 1 certainly think not. It is true that many of them have been so managed as to damage greatly their milking qualities, because more money could be made out of them by high feeding to be sold for fancy and show purpose than lor milkers . TtiatUie inllklns qualities of the cow may be damaged by improper management and neglect, tütre can be no doatt. Let us turn now und examine something of their ancient character as milkers by Mr. Yooait, who 13 the oldest and best authority that can be had. He says: "From the earliest period as to which we have any account of our breeds of cattle, the Counties of Durham and York have beea celebrated for their Saort Horns, but principally in the first Instance, on account of their reputation as extraordinary milkers. To recite tneir recorded feats at the pall, wou'.d be to invite Incredulity, but it may be asserted on the best evidence, that taken as a breed, they have never In this particu'ar been equaled." Again he say : "la every instance they have shown themselves superior mlikers, and stand to the pall till within Mi or eight weeks of calving, and iu several instances they have never beeu dry since they flrt calved, and It is by no means uncommon for tbem to yield thirty to thirty-six qmrts per day, and make twenty ponoiis of batter per week " The point I wish to make here is that as thev were originally a matchlet-s milk breed, anythic? that has been lost by breeding alone for beef and beaoty, may soon be restored by carefully breeding for both milk and beef. As to the general excellence of the Short Horns lor ihe production of beef and milk in those times, the following is cited from the tame very high authority: "The number of cows kept for the purposo of supplying the metropolis (London) and Its environs with milk Is about 12,0J).n Thev'are. with very few exceptions, of the Short Horn breed. The tin i vernal preference given to this breed by such a body of men. differing materially on many branches of the treatment of cattle, is perfectly satisfactory as to their value, and that on three dlstluct points. (1) AS to the iuautity of milk he returns. This, however, is not all, though It may be the principal thing which enters Into the calculation of the - metropolitan dairymen. The proprietor I the largi dairy Is also a dealer in cream, to a considerable extent, among these people; is also a irreat manufacturer of batter, for be mast have milk enough to answer every demand, and that demand is exceedingly fluctuating; then it Is necessary that the "quality of the milk be good in order that he may turn the overplus to a profitable account in the form of cream and butter. Tha emniovment of the Short Horn cow in all tbe dairies is convincing proof that her milk is not so poor as some have described it to b. It is the practice in most of tbe dairies to fit ten a cow as soon as her milk becomea less than lour quarts a day. They are rarely suffered to breed while in the dairyman a possessions. Tbe fact of their being so orten changed is praof that while the eow gives a remunerating Quantity of milk for a certain time, she la rapidly and cneaply fattened for t he butcher as soon as her milk is dry. Wer mach time or money employed In preparing her lor market, this system snoaia sot an.

swer, and would not be sonnlversally adopted. Fattening and milking properties can. thereford, combine In the same animal, and they do so here. This is very high testimony as to the excellence of the Short Horn race, both aa to milk and beef, and snows that milk was one of their chief qualities in England, and If Inherent In the race, it may be readily developed in it again by properly breeding and feeding with a a eve to milk and batter. la Mr. Call's "History of Short Horns," we find the remarkable record of the cow ttarfnpin (the dam ot Hutback's grandslre), giving thirty-fix quarts of full k a dy,and making twenty-four poand of batter per week. Mr. Allen, in the scwn 1 volume of the "American Herd Book," sneaking of the early imoortatlons of 8aort Horns, says: "There was one ruling quality among them; they were, almost without exception, capital milkers." These facts abundantly show that they come orlslnally from the very best dairy cattle, and If they do not now stand at the head of the dairy class in every particular, they have the lateut qualities In them that will enable them very soon. If given a chance, to stand at the head in milk production, as well as in beef. Much later in their history. Mr. Allen. In his "History of American Cattle," says: "They (the Short Horns) are the greatest mlikers in quantity of any breed whatever, except tne Dutch, as Innumerable facts have hown. We have numerous well authenticated Instances of their giving six, seven, elht and even nine gallons per day, and making fourteen to eighteen, and some aa high as twenty and a half pounds of butur per week. Our own observation In more than thirty years' experience with hundreds of them, first and last. Is to ourselvesabundant evidence of these facts." In his "History of Short Horn Cattle" he a? so says: "Our history has fully shown that from the earliest period the Snort Horn cows, as a rale were large milkers, and when cultivated with a View to dairy purposes, no animal of any breed excelled, and few. If any, equaled them When milk has been the malu object In their keeping, no cows have made laiger yields, according te tbe consumption of food, than the Short Horns. Even in our own time, we have frequent records of cow giving Irom twenty-f-ur to thirty-six, and even lorty quarts per day, and the y leid of batter has been correspondingly large." Numerous notes may be found attached to the pedigrees of cows, la the several volumes of te "American Herd Book," attesting these facts. These statements are sufficient to prove that if there is any want ot milk Id-.; qualities In the present Short Horns, it is due uutiroly to tue present breeding; for It is most certain that the ancient Short Horns were good milkers, and combined both milk and beef In the same animal. I find these facts standing oat very full and prominent In these authors, and that the Short Horns were celebrated for their aptness to give great quantities of rich milk. Every one at alt acquainted with the breed will call

to mind more or less cases, similar in every respect, and which bears abundant testimony to the excellency of tho dairy qualities Inherent in their organization. Professor Arnold, In his lte work on "Dairying." bears testimony to the high inherent milking quailttes of many of our present Short Horns, lie says: "It Is doubtful whether there has ever been any better milk stock than the original short Horns, and they still have a mast persistent tendency to transmit that quality to their descendants, and where a deep milking tenderly has not been counteracted, orwnere it has been the least restrained, as In the Princess family. It has remained nearly in its original state and Is transmitted with most remarkable certainty." The same author speaks well of the quality of the milk. "The globules are of good size, cream rising readily. The percentage of cream liberal and of go jd quality. Tbe milk Is about equally well adapted to butter and cheese and marketing in cities." With this evidence before as, the conclusion is Inevitable ttiMt attention only Is requisite on the part of the breeder to restore and perpetuate this quality in any desirable extent In all oar present short Horns. It mast be done by carefully selecting bulls out of cows known to possess great merit as milkers, by .luiitious feeding to develop the milk secret Ions, and stimulate the Inherent milk qualities that have been by some breeders entirely disregarded. She may be made the very first-class dairy cow of this country. That this quality of abundant milking In tne Short Horns exists no breeder of them for a moment doubts; and if the breeder's attention be turuea solely to the dairy qualities, he can succeed beyond "a reasonable doubt" in obtaining, with very few exceptions, extra heavy milkers. So if a breeder turns his attention, regardless of milk, to the grazing qualities of his Short Horns, he can gradually breed out the tendency of large milking, beyond a sulllciency to raise a calf, and It is to bo regretted that the tendency of too many of our breeders has been to this end. The dairy Interest Is attracting wider attention to day in America than ever before, and Justly so, too, for it is the souice of a large export trade, beside supplying a great market at home; and we should develop our Short Horn cows to the growicg demand for dairy stock and a deep-iullklng breed, combining fint class beef and milk. Generativ snoaklne.the cow on the farm has never received her due proportion of credit for what she really can no in the success of the farm, nor has her blood and qualifications been so carefully studied as they ahould have been. She produces a calf annually, which at two years old may be made to weigh u lbs. She produces b.u.0 to p,iai pounds or imik, oat of which may be made 3uu pounds of batter annually. A' breed or cows which would combine these qualities Is deserving of great credit in tbe success of the farm. Indiana Is the natural home of the famous blue grass, and will be the natural home ot Short Horn dairy cows not long in tne future. Tne small, lll-lormed breeds -which some claim to be superior batter cows (not milch cows), do not prodnce a calf which lor beef at four months oid will command IS, nor at two years old weigh overtkC or 70J pounds, and of very lnfeilor quality for beef at that. The calves. In fact, are almost worthless, except the female to raise for cows, for the same purpose, ihose who want the ill-formed cow for a small quantity of rich milk and "deacon" the calves at birth tbe Jersey Is Jost the cow. Hut the cow that is to supply our cities and our co-operative butter and cheese factories with mlik must ccme irom.the Short. Horns and their grade. Here the amount of milk must not be tbe only important consideration. This, depending on one source of Income, or playing upon one string, has loDg siuce been exploded as an unsafe policy. The farm stock must b.o so selected and combined that it will produce the most milk and beef, and they must be combined la one animal. Separate animals for separate purposes can not be tolerated on the farm. Tbe coming eow must be of as pare beef Stockas possible, as well as of the best milkproducing breed. Here let me say distinctly, the Jersey is a good batter cow lor her Inches, but she has not inches enough to hold her own in a long contest with those of greater weight and carcass; nor has she been subjected to the same rnde tests on pinched food aa most other breJ.s have. In the January (1880) number of the National Live Stock Journal U a very forcible demonstration of this fact. Mr. I. iloies, of Illinois, has a herd of about lOU cows of high grade Short Horns that yielded Zlyt pounds of butter last year. Mr. O. Uronson, oi tfew Yojk, has a herd of t wen ty natives that averaged 2 17 pou nds aud Mr. U. C. Blodnett, of .New York, also had a herd of twenty-üve Jerseys. Their average yield was 231 VJ pounds of batter per cow. Mind, now, the natives and the Jerseys both have greatly the advantage of t he Short Horn grades in numbers. The Short Horn grades averaged eighty pounds of butter per cow more than tbe Jerseys and sixty -seven and a half more than tbe natives. That the two qualities of beef and rails: may be combined in the same animal of the Short Horu breed scarcely needs further consideration. The character of the short horns for beef I take to be sufficiently established. That tbe other may be had la sutliciently pioven by the ancient Short Horns, who possessed it iu an eminent degree, and that It la possessed by many at the present time Is true. High grades la great numbers may be found that possess these two qualities in an eminent degree. This being true, it is certainly bad policy to breed a siock that possesses but one ot these qualities. Now we come to the second part of our subject, and I think it may most naturally be treated by transposing it. thus: At what age shonld heifers be bred In order to develop the best milking qualities, and then how developed and maintained? At what age heifers should be bred in order to develop the best cow, will depend very ma terially ou how she has been cared lor from calf hood tip. The calf is the making of the cow, and If the young animal is neglected and stunted, the development of the future animal is seriously Impaired. As a rule, females should not be coupled tili verging on to maturity; but if the young heifers have been fed on good muscleforming food, such as will give a rangy frame and a fine muscular development.wlth growth unstinted. I would think they might be cou pled at from fifteen to eighteen months old, owing to their growth. They should be kept growing thriftily with out lattening.forif made fat this win give a ten dency to fatten lnftnelr development into cows instead ox giving more milk, ueirers snonid be bred as early as their growth will permit In order to bring Into action the milking facul ties, as they are more easily stimulated when young tnau if neglected and allowed to ran till twenty-tour or imny monins neiore Dreea Ing ;they will make more docile cows and prove

better raüker, and there will be quicker profit, also, in having her come to be a vow as young as posslbie, - i -' , These helfera are qnlet flexible in the hands of the breeder, and -may be developed Into good young cows of great value if properly cared for. The efiort of the breeder should be to produce a vigorous growth that tbe heifer may be well developed into a milker at two to two and a half years older. If mine fall to be bringing a caif at three years old, the bu eher gets them sore. DXVELOFMK5T. I am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience with Short Horns, that I can take one that is an ordinary milker and, by feeding her a milk ration and giving her tbe best cure to Increase her milk, can make out of her a fine milker The dairymen in my County (Patnam) say the oows they bay through the County, with their feeding and handling, Increase the flow of milk from one-third to one half. Now, add this to what our Short Horns give on an average, as we treat them, and you see we have a heavy milker. In the part of the County where I live Short Horns and their grades are all that are used for milk cows, and they are giving excellent satisfaction and would not be exchanged for any other known breed. I know one tenant farmer who Is the owner of a pedigreed Short Horn cow that furnishes milk and batter for his family and some to sell. Milk contains all tbe element of the living animal body in solution, and the cow Is the machine tnat manufactures food Into this fluid. She is a chemical laboratory to work np food Into milk, and she mast, therefore, have a complex variety oat of which to elaborate this production, and as you Intelligently and liberally mete out food to her, so will she pour ont her milk for your benefit. It mast be entirely reciprocal; you can not draw upon her bank without first making a deposit, and then she will pay you back with liberal interest. You may carry her Klon at night, and in the morning get your pay la milk by drawing it. You never could, and I doubt If you ever will, get something for nothing, and Just as you teed Intelligently Just as sure will you be lioerally rewarded. While this is true of all cows, It Is almost doubly true of Short Horn cows. There are but few cows so constituted that their milk may not be largely improved, both in quantity aud quality, by careful attention to tne wants of the cow; and It is my opinion tnat you may peek quality of milk la food rather than in breed. iThls Is a point I should like to hear discussed by the Convention. As tar bark as the history of the cow reaches tbe belief seems to be, both of the learned and unlearne 1, that tbe quality f milk may ns Improved and the flow of milk Increased by special feeding to that end. Virgil, In his yeorglcs," makes special mention of articles of food peculiarly adapted to cause a '-How of rich milk," while selections and breeding afterward perpetuate the variations that we now have in milk cows. Food must first develop the Improvement In milk, then breed-

Ins and feeiir c mast continue it. No one would expect to produce a large flow of milk from straw feed, nor to make a floe quality of yellow butter by feeding cotton sed. no matter what might be the strain of blood in bis cows. Milk is dependent for Its flavor. Quality and quantity upon tbe food consumed by the cow. but the food mast be adapted to the wants of the animal to secure the best quality la either beef or milk. The effect of sped il feeding upon the quantity and quality of milk has be:n so often proven to a demonstration In large and small experiments that it is unnecessary to say more upon this point. I can not close without giving a few figures In comparing tbe different breeds with tbe Short Horns for beef, though I am sorry I can't lay my hand on later figures, but these illustrate the point ns well : We have 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 cows in the United States, and somewhere near &i,0OJ,t)0U head of cattle, nil told, according to the best guess 1 can set. Tne statistics lor tne nscai year endlug Jone SO, 187S, shows that we ex ported mi.ihu neaa of came (it certain ly is much more this year.) About 4U.WO head went to Cuba at Si7 per hea-i, and 21.S.S1 head to England at about 8:7 per head. Here are the wild grass red xexans to uuna, ana the Short Horns and their grades to Kngland, the latter selling for 5 7-10 Rimes the price of the former. This Is a most remarkable contrast to occur In oar dlnereut grades of stock in the same year. The weight of the Short Horn grades was about twice that of the Texans, but the value nearly six times as much. Now. suppose our cattle were all Texans, or ot some small or Ill-formed breed like unto tbem, what an Immense difference there would be In the amount of money they would bring the grazier, besides only large and well-formed breeds can be exported to England and find a market; or nppos all the cattle of the United states were of the Short Horn breed how much more money the 40Ü0O would bring to the United States at ?. per head Instead of S17 per head. Ileally. gentlemen, 1 feel like we could spare all other breeds a lew pints of milk and a pound of butter and then be a long ways ahead wi ll their broad level bscks, fine quarters and excellent grazing quality.

This compound of the vegetable alteralives, aarsaparma, Dock, Stiillnitia, and tiioiiuiuc it Jul luv Iodides of Potash and iron, makes a most effpc trial rnr of a seriea of complaints which re very prevalent and afflicting. It parities the blood.purges out the lurking humors In the system. that undermine health and settle Into troublesome disorders. Eruption of tbe skin are the appearances on the surface of humors that should be expelled from the blood. Internal derangements are the determination of these same humors to some Internal organ or organs, whose action they derange, and whose substance they disease and destroy. Ayer's 8aksaparh,!.a expels these humors from the blood. When they are gone, the disorders they produce disappear, such as Ulceration of the JM-er, Stomach, JCUlneyi, Lung, Eruption and Erujtive IKeaca o the Skin, M.

John Bull's i's li FOR THE CURE OF Faver & Ague OR CHILLS & FEVER The proprietor of this celebrated mcdiono Juxtlv claims for it a superiority over all remedio ever offered to the public for tlie MAFL, CEUTAW and PEBJIAXEST cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and l ever, whether of ftiortor Ion; Btanding. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth ot the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if tbe directions are strictly foüowed and carried out. In a prc;tt many cases a single dose has been suCici cut for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a siairlo bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is howcrer prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is Contimit in smaller doses for a week or two after the dUea3s has been checked, more especially in diillcultand lonp-standing cases. Usually this modicino will not require any aid to keep the bowels ia cooA order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or furdoses of the Tonic, a pinple dose of 11UL.L.' VEGETAJ1XE 1A.1IILY n LLS will bo euüicicnt.
