EDITOR GUARDIAN In dinner speech
at an agricultural Fair, some years ago,
a friend of mine, who knew more of red
tape ribbons than of the practical part Of
farming, said " that he who made one
blade of grass grow where two grew be
fore, was public JenJactor" Now, like
our townsmau, Mr.. Ingalls,, he was one
of those men not easily daunted, and
who, if he failed Of getting a thing per
feclly right the first time, would try
again he therefore, seeing his error, i'm j..
mediately added 4" Some one might
say that much in that respect might de-
pend upon the size of the blade" Now
every good farmer knows that it is not
the number Of blades OF grain on an acre
that is 10 determine the amount of the
crop, but 10 having them uniformly dis
tributed, and In an aggregate according
to the fertility Of the soil. And another
fact that common sense equally well es-
tablishes is, that the human hand cannot
as evenly scatter a given amount Of seed
as a we'll adjusted machine. The adap
tation of machinery to sowing, is to ag-
riculture what steam is to navigation :
a triumph over the winds, which here in
Iowa is matter Of no small account.
OF the many machines now in use, I
know nothing practically. excepting Mr..

il was complete victory for the rebels.
He SAYS that on the Let day the rebels
captured all the guns, bag gage, and am

that more OF them were re captured
That the rebs have about 5000 prison
ers, besides all the severely wounded
That our forces have fallen back to
Grand Ecore, some fifty miles from the
place Of the battle, and were pursued by
the enemy. The only decided repulse
that the enemy met with, was from Gen
A. j. Smiths command, of the 10th
corps. The Surgeon who told me this
was member of the 18th corps, and
gave such particular details of the fight
as to convince me that he was there and
saw what he described. | should not
