FTER the defeat of
the Confederate forces
under Breckenridge at
Baton Rouge, La, Aug.
5, 1862, they retreated
up the river to the
high bluffs of Port
Hudson, and soon after
commenced fortifying.
1t would appear that
the original plan was
to make Baton Rouge
the lower post on the
river, as it would be a
great deal nearer rail
road connection on the
east and a less distance
to haul subsistence.
Southwest Louisiana
and Texas were the
storehouses from which
the greater part of the
supplies for the Con-
federate army east Of
the Mississippi River
were obtained, and it
was necessary to hold
a portion of the river,
including the mouth
Of Red River, in order
to secure them. The

COOP ROADS.

This is the season when the ordinary road
work is performed with waste of labor which
is notorious. Road work is done in a free-and-
easy manner, and without any pretension to
effectiveness. The sand and mud which have
been washed from the roadbeds intothe bitches
are thrown back to be washed again into the
bitches by the first heavy rain, when the soft
earth becomesa semi-duid mud. reform in the
system of maintaining the country roads is
urgently needed Perhaps it would be a good
thing to educate the road supervisors little,
and to have small official library attached to
the Office, to go from hand to hand as the annual
changes are made. 1t is not to be expected
that plain farmer should know how to build
and repair road, but it is not at all difficult
for every one to acquire the knowledge.-NeiO

WOOL GROWING.

A good many farmers who are doubtful of
the future profit from wool growing are in
curing about Angora goats and the probable
value of their aeeces. We have always insisted
upon the wisdom of holding ON to the sheep,
which are clearly of more value on the farm
than any other kind of live stock excepting
hens. We would strongly urge farmers who
have sheep to keep them, and especially to re-
frain from taking goats in place of them. The
market for mohair is exceedingly close, only
two dealers in the United States handling it to
any large extent; while only four manufac
turers use it in any considerable quantity
Moreover, the goods made from this fiber
are becoming decidedly unpopular and are
being largely displaced by wooden fabrics.
Goats flesh is not popular as mutton, although
a young kid is often used as lamb without be-
ing discovered as such by the consumers.
Hence it is scarcely wise just now to discard
sheep for the very much inferior goat.-Ez-
change.

TO couple OF neighbors Mr.. Geiger converted the
barrel into seat by laying a single across it.
During the heated argument which followed Mr..
Geiger shifted until the Single slipped, and he
went down into the barrel with his knees doubled
up under his chin. The two neighbors tried to
pull h1m out OF the barrel. They did not know
that there was double row or nails prOtruding

the barrel, and there was but one thing to dO-cut
the barrel away from him. They went to work
with their knives, and after INJECTING untold
