SAT DOWN ON THE BOARD

BECAUSE IT NEEDS REORGANIZING. 9 Swln.Brlr Adopt Resolutions Intoral g the Ewlng Bill, ProTlriiofr for Reconstruction of tli State Board of Agrte altar The Wool-Growra. Tot years past the meetings of the Ewine breeders association have been largely attended by the enthusiastic followers of the porcine industry in this state, and the meeting which legm Thursday afternoon at the horticultural rooms was not behindhand in point of enthusiasm or numbers, to the meetings of past years. The most interesting topic of the afternoon was the discussion on the bill presented by Senator Ewing for the creation of an industrial board of agriculture. In the aaricultural meetings for the pant two weeks this bill has been persistently fought by a state board lobby, consisting of Robert Mitchell, a member of the board; Sylvester Johnson, its secretary, and C. E. Merrifield, the superintendent of the fair grounds. One or all of these gentlemen have been prewent at the industrial meeting", have paid their dues, and fought the Bieasure with a devoti n worthy of a better cause. The measure, however, has a most active and aggressive champion in Joseph Cunningham of Bunker Hill, a three hundred pound Poland-China breeder, who sometime nnkes remarks about the mate board which bre not dictated by charity or gol-wiil. In fact ie handles tlie subject "without gloves," and lias so far be n uniformly successful in securing the approbation of the societies for the measure. The association was convened at 2 o'clock by the president, Lloyd Mug of Center, and in the abence of the regular fecretary, J. V. Tierce of Peru, Calvin turdevant of Nob esviile was chosen to fill the duties of that position, and Fmraett ose was t-e eeted to take down the proceedings in short-hand. The president read his annual address, in which he alluded to the poor condition of the hog iDdus'.ry in tl e past year, but be urged the members not to loe courage, in the cause, to increase thfir herds an 1 improve the quality of their stork, for they were sure to reap a large ultimate reward. "Why Favor Swine Industry?" was the subject of a w ttv and po nted paper bv Prof. W. A. Hell of t .is city. The reader said be was not a iarmer hut an agriculturist, saying a farmer lived on a farm and made his money tdTof it. wbi c an agriculturist made bis money in 6om other channel and spent it on "a f irm. He had sold his fir-t lot of hogs only about one month ago, but could have sold his corn the past year for more than it brought when converted into pork. He then fore did not know why he favored the industry unless for health and fun. However, he believed that there was money in raising thorouvhbred hogs and also for the general market. As a rule prices of corn and hogs rise and fall together, -ut th past year corn had he n exceptionally high and hogs exceptionally low. In the discussion the o 1 -r and more experienced swine riier4 indorsed the statements of Prof. Bell. They ur,:ed hitn not to abandon the can.e of ewine breeding, for the profits were sure to come after while. Henry C. Oiler of Russiaville discussed the quction "Should a Sinrl Judjre BAllowed to Pass on Sweepstakes Without the Unanimous Consent of the Inhibitors?" Mr. Oiler was ngaiust the 'sinii!e judge" idea. Considerable sharp criticism upon express companies was called forth by an ironclad tgreement, which T. M. Ileveai of Clermont, showed from the Adams express company declaring tl at said company refused to ship live stock unless the shipper would sin n ruarantt-e rp -asinr the company from any claims for loss due to nez igence or tardiness on the part of the company's agents. Such a contract was soundly denounced by tbe members and Mr. S. M. Shepherd of this city, declared that all sli ppers shou'd refuse to eign and threaten tbe company with a lawsuit in case it did not shin the stock. He promised to bike charge of such suit" brought by the members and euaranteed to win in every instance. All shippers needed was a little backltone. Mr. Robert Mitch II introduced a rpolntion commencing the department of agriculture and touching the meat question, which passed unanimously. It reads as follows : Eesolred, That we appreciate the earnest in t rent th department of ariouhnre hat taken to this branch or industry, an 1, Resolved, The Ii.dinna wine breeders' aoeiation ak the senate to take such steps through tbe department of airrirabure as will tend to remote all restrictions now imposed on American pork in foreign markets. After obtaining permission of the association Joseph Cunningham then read the Kwinz indu-trial toird bill and spoke heartily in favor of the breeders placing themselves on record in its f ivor. He moved that therefore, the association indorse the measure. C. E. Merrifield then took the floor and arraigned tbe hi 1, and Joshua fstranire moved as a snbst tute for Mr. Cunningham's motion tbat the reso'ution previously adopted by the wool growers favoring the retention of the state board as now constituted be adopted. After several fiery speeches from S-'hepard against the old board, and rejoinders by liobert Mitchell in its favor, Judge Shepard moved to lay Stranse's substitute resolution on the table. This was carried by a vote of 19 to 7. Then tho original Bcr.tion made by Cunningham endorsing the Kwing bill was adopted by a vote of 17 to 7. The only paper of the evening session of the swine breeders was read by W. II. Fandford of Jebanon. on 'The llesult of feeding for the Show King."

m There are some patent medicines that are more marvellous than a dozen doctors' prescriptions, but they're not those that profess to cure everything. Everybody, now and then, feels " run down," " played out" They've the will, but no power to generate vitality. They're not sick enough to call a doctor, but just too sick to be well. That's where the right kind of a patent medicine comes in, and does for a dollar what the doctor wouldn't do for less than five or ten. We put in our claim for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. We claim it to be an i:nequaled remedy to purify the blood and invigorate the liver. Vc claim it to be lasting in its effects, creating an appetite, purifying the blood, and preventing Bilious, Typhoid and Malarial fevers if takai in time. The time to take it is when you first feel the signs of weariness and wcabicss. The time to take it, on general principles, is NOW.

THE BULL AND HIS II011NS

GRAPPLED BYSHORTHORN BREEDERS Th fttata AaoUulon Discoaaea Vftrlont Topics of InUr.tt to Ureeltra Adlr By Ir. Caddy, Mrs. Meridith avnd Otliari otliar Matters Nearly eeventy-five of the representative ehort'aorn breeders of the state assembled Tuesday afternoon at the horticultural rooms, where, at precisely half past 1 o'clock, the gavel, vigorously wielded by Judge J. A. Uuclcles of Muncie, called the house to order. In the absence of the regular secretary, Will Christian of this city, Joshua S;rango of Marion discharged the duties of that ollice. Dr. N. D. Caddy of Lovett read a paper on tho question, "Which is the Eetter to Use, a Young or Old Bull?" The reader belie vrd that tbe age had comparatively little to do, but he insisted that breeders should exercise the most scrupulous care in seeing that both cows and bulls should have good blood family and be in good condition. In the discussion which followed the reading of tho paper these views were most heartily indorsed by all who ppoke. Some interesting "Fans in Relation to thelVefand Milking Qualities of Shorthorns" were enlarged upon in a most excellent paper read bfore the association by Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith of Cambridge City. The reader regirded shorthorns aa a general purpose breed of cattle and declared that many families of this breed were excellent butter and milk producers. "It used to be believed," she said, "that the only dairy animal must be wedge-shaped, but that idea is losing ground, and good rations are more insisted on." She believed the enthusiast who rsises cattle for one purpose only was doomed to lose half t .e possible result of his industry. At the state fairs of .Nebraska, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania, where competitive contests between all breeds of cattle we re made, the first prizes for butter and mi k had been awarded the shorthorns. Also, at Peru, in this state, where all kinds of butter were graded under conditions in which no fartialily could be st.own, the tirst award md been given the shorthorn butter, made at a farm-house and from a cow fed the ordinary farm feed. Judge K. B. Martindale discussed the piper and approved of the ideas advanced by Mrs. Meredith. Shorth rn breeders had drifted away from the dairy idea in breeding, and he regarded this as a cent mistake. After sone further discission of both papers by the association, the reports of committees were called for by the president. Joshua Strange of tho legislative committee read the bid introduced by Senator F-wini? to abolish the present state board of agriculture and for the creation of a new board. The biil was made the subject of a strong attack by Mr. A. S. Mitchell, himself a member of the present .-tato board, lie believed tbat the b-ard as now constituted was" nearer ths agricultural intereta of the state than any other could possibly be. The opiv site view of thequesiion waa presented bv Mr. Jo-erh Cunning ham of Hunker Hill, who had been delegated by the swine breeders to present the matter to the various agricultural meetings in tho citv. Mr. Cunningham wa not a member of the association, but was permitted to speak. He said the present bid had been prepared l y the swine breeders. He did not blame Mr. Mitchell for antagonizing it. because he (Mitchell) had been a member of the board for fifteen r twentv years and was sure of a reelection for li?e if the present system went on. lie further declared that the preset board had ignored the reasonable petitions of the various agricultural societies until the latter bad leen compelled to advocate the renovation of the- board to secure a hearing. He lik-ned tie present fair buildings to a hen-coop, and the grounds were no more (sufficient to exhibit the true agricultural interests of tlie state than a flail would be to represent iia threshing machinery. In his reply Mr. Mitchell alluded to the increase in tho value of the lands at tbe fair grounds. I. N. Cotton of Traders' Point made a somewhat fiery address on the subject. He emphasized tl e point that the value of the fair grounds was not due to the foresight or teanairement of the "fossilized" board of agriculture. If laws or boards passed the stage of usefulness they ought to be done away with. He then introduced the following resolution, which met the unanimous approval of the association: Resolved, Tbat we, the Indiana shorthorn breeders attotvation. favor the reorganization of the state board of airicnlture, and that the lire stock associations bare at least one member of said board. President Buckles was then authorized to appoint the following committees: On program, Messrs. Quick, S'-well anil Nelson ; on election of oflicers, Messrs. Fulsoni, Sankey and Moore. At tlie Wednesday session of the shortborn breeders, the association listened to an interesting and practical paper read by I. N. Miller of Upland on the subject, "The Ict Method of liearing He fer Calves for Breeding Purposes Exclusively." The reader advocated that early spring calves al owed all the grass and milk they can use, will, for all purjoses, develoD into the best breed cows. Particular notice should be taken of such calves that they have no natural defects as such would impair their usefulness and decrease their value. Tlie committee on election of officers reported the following selections mad at a caucus meeting last night: President, Judire J. A. Buckles; Berretary, Joshua Strange of Marion; vice president, Calvin Cowgill of Wabash. The asaociation ratified their choice by a unanimous vote, and the meeting adjourned. THE POULTRY ASSOCIATION. It Meets and Has it Lively Session Officer Elected. The annual meeting of the State poultry association was held Friday night at the agricultural rooms. Maj. Griffin of Manzv presided and E. A. Pierce of this city was secretary. Considerable wrangling over parliamentary rules occupied tlie attention of the members until after 0 o'clock.
