A WAR INc1DENT-During Long

while a portion of his army was
under fearful fire of shells from
the enemy at Campbells Station,
Knox county, "a private soldier,
within a few feet OF the Colonel OF
his regiment, had both of his legs
torn off. The regiment was not
fighting but waiting orders. The
wounded man was lifted a couple
OF yards in the rear to die. An
other private marched down the
line uuder a hail of missiles, and
said to the commanding officer,
"Colonel, may | have a few mo-

Farm Hints.

We copy the following interesting
items from the American Agricul-
f.rist:
Young pigs, like all young, grow
ing animals, should have abundance
of food, and the best care and treat
ment.
Sheap-killing dogs are apt to be
around at this season. Put bells on
two or three sheep in each flock, and
keep a gun loaded ready for the dogs.
Manure in the nursery and orchard
is needed, in order 70 secure the best
results, and the fall is a good time to
haul and spread it upon the land.
Spring pigs, IL not in unusually
good condition can probably be win
tered with profit. Pork can hardly
fail TO be much higher next year than
now.
Patato tops are well worth draw
ing to the yard to absorb the liquid
manure. Allowing them to remain
scattered over the field until spring,
is very slovenly practice.
On low, moist land, the fall is n
good time to cut bitches and clean
out aud deepen old ones. Under
draining on uplands is usually best
done in the spring, or late in the fall
or early in winter, when the ground
is saturated with water.
Pieces of boards, broken rails, bar
rel slaves, should be gathered up be-
fore they become saturated with rains.
\ few hours labor i'm Strengthening
up would add much to the appear
ance of many farm. Nothing pays
better than neatness, system and
order.
Do not sell the best ewes or lambs.
Sheep are scare, and butchers are
picking up all the good sheep and
lambs they can find. Never let a
butcher go into your flock until you
have selected out all you intend to
keep.

Agriculture and Manufactures.

An able writer in favor of uniting
manufacturing industry with that
of agriculture, says: "a merely ag-
ricultural people can never have any
thing that deserves the name of ag-
riculture. Tney can rob the soil OF
its fertility but they cannot cultivate
it. They have nohome market, ane
can produce nothing but the coarses3
and crudest products; and sending
all their produce abroad, they cannot
refresh the energy of their lands by
returning to them fair portion of
their products after they have served
their human use. So their accounts
runs out ut last in bank in which
they make no deposits" The above
statement expresses a general truth;
yet nothing can well De easier than
to set aside all the conditions on
which the truth rests. Let us sup
pose man has a good foreign de-
mand at high price for cotton and
tobacco. He is under no necessity of
robbing his soil for a small part of
the money received for his crop will
purchase the alkalies and acids re-
moved by washing rains falling on
titled ground, and in the staples sent
to market. Full restitution may not
be practiced, but is by no means i'm
practicable. A cottou planter in
Tennessee may impoverish bis plant
alton by raising cotton to be manu-
factured in his own county as well as
in New England or Old England
The defect is not in the place of man
ufacture, whether cotton or tobacco,
but in a want of knowledge of the
true principles of tillage and hus-
bandry. 1t is not more necessary
that tanner should renew his sup
ply of raw hides and tanbark TO keep
up his stock, from year to year, than
that a farmer should purchase the
raw material consumed in making
cotton, grain and tobacco sold off the
farm. 1t is idle to talk about tb e
coarsest and rudest products. Goa. se
or fine, restitution in some way is in
dispensable. Manufactures favo'. res
titution, and ought to be enc0u ragged;
but they are not@the sine quo non of
successful agriculture. All increase
of knowledge will do more for farm
ing than any home market. Such
a market does not neces ,sarily give
existence to cheap and perfect ma
nure; nor does it tell what kind of
plant food is most nee ded to keep up
a high degree of fruitfIlness. Manu-
featuring industry net teach agricul-
ture as science; nor does the theory
of protection and high tariffs devel-
OPP any new agricultural truth. u
