We often hear it remarked that dairy
ing does not pay, and we have always
commended, having been brought up on
a dairy farm. that dairying will pay
when properly conducted. A cores
pondent, writing from Massachusetts
says that the product sold from his

averaged him S64.33 per COW. Besides
he estimates that the milk, cream and
butter consumed in his own family was
worth five dollars per COW, and that the
SIX i'm milk used as feed for his hogs and
calves was worth fully seven dollars
per COW, making a total of s70 33, or
net average of twenty-three cents per
pound for butter sold and consumed.
This is only one of the many statements
that we are receiving from practical
farmers, who read the papers devoted
to their interests, and keep abreast Of
the times by the use of the most improved
dairy appliances. giving their cows
such feed as will bring the best results.
producing the bulk of their butter or
cream for market during the fall and
winter season when prices are highest,
and ut all times making it Il point to
produce only the finest quality and
studying the tastes of their customers.
In this way they at all times succeed in
securing top prices in the open market
for their products, which is still further
proof as to our previous statements that
dairying will pay when properly and
intelligently conducted. -- American

Frank jumped to Il conclusion at
once. Turning to his sharpshooters he
said:
II want man to ride to Captain
Gregory-it is a dangerous trip-who

Every right hand was raised and
every tongue cried: II, sir"
II will choose the man with the best

with the result.

flung themselves with arms beside them

they could. and silence settled on the

Nature in changing mood had swept
the clouds from the sky. and young

meandered across the little plain that
separated them from the woods.

soldiers who had escaped from Morgan s

A shower of bullets from the barri-
cade of the fence checked their first at
tack. They had never met the men Of
the Fighting Fourth before. and hardly
anticipated so warm welcome. So,
recovering from their surprise, they
formed in better order. and once more

CHAPTER XVII.-CoSTINUEn
And when the fury of the tornado
was spent it seemed quite natural to
Frank that the half-dozen figures of
men he knew were enemies. who had
been crouching by his side. should
glide away into the forest without a
parting shot
It was a difficult task to make their
way over the fallen trees to the spot
where they had left their horses. but
they reached it at last. to find the snort
ing. trembling beasts unframed. save
one that lay struck dead by lightning.
Push on. men," Frank cried. Let
us get out of this internal wood before
the last glimmer of daylight fails u.s.
Luckily the sharpshooters were prac-
ticed horsemcn. for the debris of the
storm made their ride too much like a
steeple-chase to he practicable to men
whose seats IN their saddles were not
firm. As it was. Lieutenant Ferguson
got an ugly fall which broke his
collar-bone. and Franks charger
Numbered over the trunk of tree,
landing its rider in the mud, with no
other damage, however, than torn
coat and some very strong language,
which Rev. Lubin's ma would not have
approved of had she been near to hear it.
They reached the rendezvous at last.
Fulton and his men were already strag-
Cling up as they arrived, and Frank
noticed with pain that the ambulance
wagon bore its load of misery.
..One man killed and four wounded, =
Charlie reported, briefly.
And what of the enemy
Heaven knows. They are in force,
though. at least two hundred strong.
If it had not been for that precious
storm breaking on us they would have
wiped rs out without a doubt. But,
have you heard nothing of Gregory,
Naior?'
Nothing whatever. Charlie. ! am
afraid he must have retreated to es-
cape the tornado. 1t came his way,
YOU know. and he would see it long be-
fore we did"
Then all can say is that we are in
Queer street, for as soon as those beastly
brigands have got their breath they'll
be down on us like the wolves on the
fold
Like enough, Charlie. Well, we can
hut do our best, and ! don't doubt but
that we shall be able to give fair ac-
count of ourselves
docs this thing that imagines itself
road lead anywhere, wonder?" Char
lie unused. Say, where's your guide,
Major?'
But that was question that Frank
could not answer. for the last he has
seen of him was when he was howlins
in an agony of fear behind rock whils
The storm was sweeping over them.
Hes here all right, sir" interposed a
sergeant who had heard the inquiry
