utOHJ Wc ~ sac ~ ms pony
Quite unhurt, however, and quick as
cat the savage sprang up. fitted an
arrow to the string and stood defiant.
Elliot, never wavering in his career,
dropped the empty rife. Grew revolver
from his belt and rode straight Mt his
enemy. Ar rnat Instance we could nor
see the arrows fly, but knew from his
motions that the Indian had discharged
two in quick succession, and at the
second shot we thought our comrade
rather WINGED
Another instant would have brought
the combatants together, when the red
warrior threw down his bow. and we
saw the CLEAN of steel as he poised his
tomahawk in last brave effort at de-
fense-useless weapon, futile valor in
ouch fightl
One more bound of the mare, another
powder flash, and only the white man
lived to hear the pistols report!
Answering our exultant though faint
ly heard cheers by wave Of his hand,
Elliot quickly dismounted, gathered up
as trophies the arms and accouterments
of the dead man and pony. picked up his
own rifle and started on his return.
But nov from out the narrow pass,
yelling like demons and mad with fury,
rushed nine mounted Apaches, bent on
cutting off the conquerors retreat and
avenging their slain comrade. On no
ticing this demonstration Elliot coolly
stopped and deliberately reloaded his RI
fle and the one empty chamber Of his re-
volver, while we, the whole 10 of us, sal
lied out on foot to act as circumstances
might require. For little way the In
dians rode in bunch, then took open
order and ranged themselves directly
across the line which Elliot would nat
urally take to reach camp.
Matters looked rather serious for the
young man, but no experienced plains
man could have behaved more cleverly
than he now did. Instead Of dashing off
at once with his half blown mare, he
walked her quietly until within 200 yards
of the waiting bucks, by which time she
had recovered her wind. Then giving
her the rein he made wide sweep ON
the open plain and led the sayages
merry chase around and around, playing
with them as he pleased. until at last,
when frantic with baffied rage. he lured
them within long range of our rifles.
Now, boys. shoot to killr' yelled
Dick Harding. and we all fred together,
knocking over four warriors and three
ponies. whose riders were untouched.
Before we finished reloading. however,
the three dismounted braves had caught
the ponies of their fallen friends, and the
FIVE survivors. leading one riderless
pony. made good their escape.
While we were congratulating Elliot
on his generalship some Of us noticed
that he bore on his person a rather novel
ornament in the shape of an arrow pro-
truding from his left side
Examining more closely, we found that
the missile had merely pierced tho flesh
outside his ribs and that its barbed head,
after blowing its way beneath six inches
OF muscle. was now lodged against the

The ear iS the most valuable part of
the corn crop for the western farmer,
but there is great value in the slower or
fodder. Hence it is important to know
whether we can obtain both these values
in full. or whether obtaining full value
of the one necessitates decrease in the
value of the other. A report from the
Iowa station, where experiments were
conducted to decide when to cut corn so
as to get the most profitable returns
from the crop, makes it appear that
The time to begin cutting corn is when
the blades ard husks have begun to dry,
and the cutting should be finished
when half the blades and husks have
dried up. This gives about 10 days for
cutting corn. and the opinion is expressed
that the purpose of economy would be
better served if the ripening could con-
tinue so that the harvest would last but
five days instead of 10.
Considering the value of the slower,
the Importance of having the ears IS
ripe as possible and the large size of the
Iowa corniields, the crying need of the
Iowa farmer is a machine that will har-
vest his corn crop with the same facility
as the present self binder harvests the
smaller grain.

It needed bnt this to convince us that,
SO far from having been REINFORCED. the
savages were only now dispatching an
envoy to summon help. and we instantly
realized that the salvation of our whole
party depended upon the arrest of this
messenger
Among our stock there was 3-year-
old thoroughbred mare. exceedingly fleet
of foot, but not taken by Carson on his
presumably hard ride because of her ten
der age. At the moment we caught sight
of the flying Indian Hugh Elliot was
holding the rein of this beautiful crea-
ture. Qnick as flash he put the tenn
porarily displaced bit in her mouth.
snatched up his rife. sprang to her back
and was off like the wind
When the warrior first emerged from
the pass. he was of course 800 yards
from MS, and although riding furiously
he was not much farther away now, as
his route lay alongside the canyon, which
might be said to form the base Of right
angled triangle of which the line from
the wagons to the pass was the perpen-
dicular and that between him and us the
hypothenuse. Along this latter Hugh
Elliot was now racing at fight of speed
so much greater than that of his enemy
that it became at once evident the chase
would not be a long one Probably no
other horse in our outfit could have out
run that swift pony, but it was no match
for the blooded mare, each one of whose
sweeping strides lessened the distance be-
tween them.
Before pursuer and pursued had gone
half mile the former had gained quite
100 yards and was then within possible
rifle shot.
In that highly rarefied atmosphere ev-
cry motion of both men was distinctly
visible to US, and as Elliot drew still
nearer we saw him raise his gun, but
while studying his aim the quick eyed saw
age threw himself fat along the off side
of his pony. and Hugh lowered his weap-
on again. Looking on then with breath
less interest. we saw him press the little
mare to a fresh burst of speed, and when
within 100 yards Of his quarry the piece
was once more brought TO his shoulder.
This time he pulled the trigger. A fash,
puff of smoke, and before the report
reached our ears the pony fell to the
ground, rolling over and over by its own
impetus and hurting its rider 80 feet
away

Cuitivating a Fenced Garden.

The ideal condition with many per-
sons is to have the garden unfenced,
permitting approach from all sides with
horse and cultivator to assist in the cul-
tivation of the growing crops and in the
subduing of weeds. But fenced gar
den is sometimes made imperative by
circumstances over which the owner has
no control, the circumstances" being in
the nature of his neighbors cows, pigs,
fowls or other animals that are liable on
occasions to be at large to the injury of
gardens and other cultivated places.
The owners own animals, even when
excellent care is taken, may sometimes
escape from their allotted limits and in
an hour nearly ruin a garden.
For these and similar reasons many are
obliged to fence in their gardens and de-
prive themselves and the gardens also Of

Ono Plan of Mating This Variety For tho
Best Results.

Ono Plan of Mating This Variety For the
Best Results.
| Breeders have different plans of mat
ing this variety for best results. Some
advocate mating standard colored fc-
male with light male to produce light
females. Tho result of this mating is
some good light females, all very light
males and some very dark females. The
same breeder, to get his good cockerels,
mates his dark females to very dark
standard male. As result he gets some
good cockerels-some lighter and some
darker. The pullets are nearly black
and worthless. Following is what a
breeder writes on the subject in The Poul-
try Monthly:
"My plan has been, as a rule, to mate
standard female and male of as near
the same shade as | can. The barring
should be deep on the females, and in
the back should have from five to seven
bars ON each feather. 1t is not expected
to be so good on the males; they usually
run lighter i'll undercolor. This mating,
if followed up for few seasons, will pro-
duce more good standard colored males
and females than any other plan of mat
ing, and the culls will be few and far
between.
"Of course if this plan is taken up

Open Shed and Grain Chamber.

In cold climates many farmers take
the precaution to surround their barn
yards on three sides with buildings,
which adds wonderfully to the comfort
of animals that spend at least portion
of each day out of doors, whether it be
winter, with its necessary stable feeding,
or summer, with its soiling. But to Sc
cure the comfort of cows that are turned
into the yard in summer an open shed is
highly desirable.
1t is also an important addition to a
yard where cows are turned at night in
summer, whether kept in the stable or
