We had been there oDo day, when Col. Canbv
sent from Fort Craig his Asst Adj. General, With
peremptory orders to Col. Slough to fall back with
his column to Fort Union, which was imme liately =
done. 1t would seem that VIC crippled the enemy

first. We have reliable inform tion that We killed
over 100 men, including officers, and wounded

81 officers and q pyivatcs. The enemy immedi-

A daughter was trying to cut hash
or mince meat, but the thug, thug,
indicated that the dull knife was only
MASKING and not cutting the meat
The tired girl showed plainly that she
had been at it an hour or more. Three
minutes with the grindstone, or whet-
stone, or q file, once month, would
give that knife a sharp edge, and save
many a pound Of elbow grease, many
wearisome hours, give that daughter a
little extra time to read the American
AgricWllurist, (only the other man
''don't take it" and the finely cut
tough meat would be far more digesti-
die than when swallowed hurridly in
large pieces. CA Hale's meat cutter,
costing $3.50, would cut the hash for
a large family in four minutes, or in
less time, and do the work excellently }
One Monday we took dinner at the
house of this "other man." The bread
was not in smooth cut slices, but ap-
peared as if haggled off from the loaf
with the back Of scythe. The dried
deef, instead Of being in nice cut sha-
wing, nice to look at, and nice to eat,
was in thick screggy pieces, as if
chopped off with very dull hOtchet.
The table knives appeared to have
been sharpened on the shovel handle,
or on the stove edge so long, and were
so much rounded off, that except from
the shape it would have been difficult
to tell on which side the edge had been
Five to ten minutes with the grind
stone would have given good edge
on one side of every knife in tho house
How much work it would have saved
in the kitchen, in preparing meals,
cutting up meats, pairing potatoes, etc,
the reader may figure up. If the
writer was the wife of this "other
man." he would take few lessons on
knife sharpepig and be independently
G1ancing through the open kitchen
door, we saw Bridget trying to stop
an old leak in boiler, with a plaster
of dough. but it would come of, and
the water would run on to the stove
and cover the hearth. A drop of
solder would have saved all this
trouble and vexation. If the "other
man" had read the AgricultNrist for
November, 1859, page 342, he would
have known how to apply the solder
himself in less than three minutes
We have made several calls at this
"other mans" house, but the above
will do for a beginning.-American

The Sort OF Wool To Raise

War, always an uneouth innoVator, has
been disturbing the wool market. Pre-
cedents and principles, musty with age
and reverend with rust, here as elsewhere
have collapsed. The established order
has been reversed-the first is last and
the last first. Grades Of wool, hereto
fore low in commercial appreciation. are
now high-third-Tate is accounted first
rate. Microscopes are are al a discouns
who cares wherher the thing is coarse or
fine?
Merino, most popular among farmers
is most unpopular in market. The coat
of $500 sheep, that would draw admi-
ring crowds Fat the State Fair, would
find none to lit reverence in the city Of
LoweIl-it would shock the sensibiities
of Manchester exceedingly. "Qaarter-
blood" turns up It's nose and looks down
upon "full- blood" Canallie is king.
Does the altered condition Of the wool
market demand change IN our style Of
breeding? This is grave and serious
question for farmers Horses are sad
to grow one end at a time; they should
not be thought peculiar, for zoe seldom
do two things at once. There was body
| of men, including also women, called de-
risively, "the one idea party" that was
not descriptive--we never have but one
idea at a time. and most always a good
deal short of that. The zone idea" prin-
ciple, or less, has governed sheeP-raisng

When / was a small boy my father kept
Merino sheep; when men came TO buy
bucks they pulled out lock OF wool
from each. and holding it up toward the

which was the finest. Having deteTl1i'

the finest was taken. A while after

House TOols-iElnts to "Men-rOlks.' ,

We dislike to offend by too plain
talk, so the reader will please under
stand tEat in what follows we do not
refer to him, but to "another man" :"
On a recent evening we happened
into his house (the other mans house,
and saw his wife trying to cut out a
garment; or possibly it was patch
for a coat for her boy or her husband /;
but it VAS hard work, and a ragged
end was left. She made sundry
efforts and by clipping several times
it seemed to come into about the de-
sired shape. The fact was, the riVet
was loose, and as for a cutting edge,
that was worn off years ago. We
noticed that she looked at her thumb
and fingers to see if they were bis
tered. Three minutes with the ham,
mer to head the riyet. and grind
stone, milestone, or even file, to give
a cutting edge, would have made all
right, saved the wife several hours of
time in the course of week or month,
and enabled her to do her work much
more easily, and to patch hmore neatly.
But her husband was "hard working
man." and hadn't three minutes time.
Having some business with him, we
found him at the store sitting in his
accustomed place on the counter.
The wife went to fix the wood fire,
and attempted to lift up brand with
the tongs, but the legs would turn and
slip by each other. After several vain
trials she pushed up the FIRE, and swept

Farmers Produce Wealth.

We are not disposed to underrate
the Importance of other callingS, but
in the actual production of commodi-
ties, the farmer confessedly ranks
highest. He comes the nearest to
beirg creator of wealth.
Compare, for moment, the nature
and results of other pursuits with those
of the husbandman. Take the manu-
facturer. He does but change the
form of materials already produced to
his hand. He adds, indeed, to their
utility, or beauty or convenience, and
in so doing is public benefactOr, but
he is less a creator of values than the
farmer. The miner does but bring up
the crude ores already lying in the
bowels of the earth ; he does not cre
ate iron, lead, gold and silver. Yet
let him receive his just reward. The
of commerce. produces nothing, adds
nothing to the worlds wealth that did
not exist before. He is simply me-
dunn for the exchange of commodities.
The commerce may be between indi-
viduals or nations, yet the result is the
same it is only barter of equiva-
lents-an exchange of six for half a
dozen.
Something more than this can be
affirmed of agriculture. It positively
adds something to the stock of com
modities. The crops gathered from
thousand hills were not here last
spring; the nation is positively richer
by so much. Or rather, what remains
over, after the cost Of producing is
taken out, is so much added to the
common stock of wealth. Yet, let mot
the farmer put on any unseemly airs
He could accomplish little without the
aid and sympathy of other eallings,
and his products would be of little
value without them. The eye cannot
say to the hand, I have no need o
thee. Eeach fraternity of labor is the
friend aud patron of the other; theil
interests are common. Let them hole
each otherin high esteem.-America1

A CaDtiVe's Return.
By ANNE PROCTOR, DA0aHTER OF BARRY oORNwALl


1t was evening in late Autumn, ~
And the gusty winds blew chill;
Autumn leaves were falling round me,
And the red sun lit the HILL.
Six-and- twenty years are vanished
Since them am old and gray.
But never told to mortal

She was seated by the FIRE,
. In her arms she held a child,
Whispering baby words caressing,
And then, looking up, she smiled;
Smiled on him who stood beside her,
-. On! the bitter truth was told. tl b 90.
In her look Of trusting fondness,
had seen the look Of old.
But she rose and turned toward me,
(Cold and dumb waited there,)
With shrek of fear and terrOr,
And white face Of despair.
He had been an ancient comrade- ~
Not single word we said,
While we gazed upon each other,
He the living: 1 the dead.

And took her trembling hand
Looking on her white face, looking
That her heart might understand
All the love and all the pity
That my lips refused to say

Rose in our crushed hearts that day.
Bitter tears that desolate moment,
Bitter, bitter tears we Wept,
We three broken hearts together,
While the baby smiled and slept.
Tears alone-no words were spoken,
Till he--till her husband said
That my boy I had for gotten
The poor child, the he was dead.
Then at last | rose, and turning, rs
WruRg bis hand, but made no sign,
And stopped and kissed her forehead
Once more, as if she we're mine.
Nothing Of farewell uttered,
Save in broken words to pray
That God in his great love might bless her,
Then in silence passed away.
Over the great restless ocean
For six and twenty years | roam
All my comrades, old and weary,
Have gone back to die at home.
Home yes, shall reach a haven,
I, too shall reach home and rest;
shalt find her waiting for me,
With our baby on her breast.
