The Spanish riders were now
drawing in, and volley of carsbines
ran before. They had aimed high,
with the result that three men of the
troop tcppled from their saddles. This
left that number of mounts free.
Can you ride, sonora? ?" said Slater.
Both replied in the affirmative.
Then mount here, if you please. We
must try to cut our way out.
Are you afraid?"
1T is the privilege of Cuban woman
to fear nothing. Except capture by
these!"
The man from Harvard was struck by
her courage, but he could not stop to adj.
mire il. The women were helped astride
the dead troopers saddles-it was
no time for false modesty-and the rest
formed up around them. One of the
women held out her hand toward
Slater's holsters. but he pointed out the
fact that there were pistols already in
the holsters before them. They took
these out and handled them with ia
miliarity.
The Spaniards had paused few hun.

the women in the center, and charge
down upon them.
Slater was leading. The guerillas es-
sayed 10 move forward to meet the at
tack. and when they came within fifty
yards the pistols began to crack on
both sides. 4 charging horse stumbled
heavily TO the ground, throwing his
rider beadlong. An incessant volley
poured from the deft revolvers of the as
sailants, and the Spanish recoiled from
the spot on which il was directed, where
men and horses rolled together on the
earth. A moment-and the little com.
pany, with the impetus of bullet, had
crashed into this shrinking spot and
sunk right in for five horses agths.
There was a simmer all about as the
men swung the machetes above their

WORKING HE ROADS.
Some of the Mistakes Made Where the
Old system Prevails.

i good many of our readers will be
warned out by the supervisor to work
the roads. In some cases II will be go
ing through the form mainly, or play
ing work the roads; in others there will
be good deal of work done. Much
of this good work done is spoiled by
reason of the incompetence of the SUI
pervisors. We have seen reads rendered
impossible almost all summer by the
lack of little of the know-how on the
part of the man who was bossing the
job. Where dirt is piled into the mid
die of the road with pillow and scraper,
ii is folly to fail to use the harrow. If
the harrow is not used, and used thor
oughly, the result will be that the road
will be full of holes for months to come.
When thresher wishes first-class
track for his horses, he selects ground
that has been plowed and thoroughly
narrowed. He knows that this will
tramp down smooth and hard. FRESH
ly plowed ground or pile of fresh dirt
contains large Jumps anG many com.
paratively open spaces, ana when travel
comes on il without being sufficiently
pulverized, ii makes the very W orst kind
of a road. Therefore, before leaving
the road, harrow the ill thoroughly
and completely and thus prepare good
highway.-Wallace's Farmer.

can be kept tight, and as shrinkage
progresses the slack can De taken up.
If when the silo is filed the moisture
causes the slaves TO swell, we may loos-
en- the nuts and prevent anything from
breaking.
To hold the slaves in place during
the summer when the silo may be emp
ty, one may use large staples, such as
are employed in the construction of
barb-wire fence. These staples should
be driven in SO that they will overlap
the crack, one prong being inserted in
one stave, the other prong being in
serted in the adjoining stave. BY this
simple method, when the silo dries out,
the slaves will be held firmly in place,
and there will be no danger of the silo
falling to pieces.
The doors may be constructed in the
following manner: Pieces similar to
the felly of wagon wheel are nailed to
the outside of the silo between the
the door is sawed out so that it can be
removed only from the inside. A space
three feet wide will usually be found
large enough for the door. The cut
made by the saw at each end will per-
NIT the insertion of piece of tarred
paper when the door is put in place.
The sides of the door may be planed
off slightly so that paper may be put in
to make the opening air-tight. All the
doors needed would probably be Sc
cured by cutting out the space between
every second hoop.
A silo 30 feet high and 20 feet in diam
eter would hold about 1ss tons of en-
silage. We usually deduct one-tenth
TO make allowance for settling and
waste. From 20 to 30 pounds of ensil-
age per day is the quantity fed to a cow.
The silo described in this article was
set up in one day by two men. 1t is in
expensive and efficient, and we know of
no better or more economical way of
constructing one in a barn than in the
manner above described. - Country

He was wrong. for there was at that
moment rage and cursing in the Span

that point had laid heavy wager that
the rebels would never break the lines.
Naturally. he was furious. That the

wI.consin,s DAIRY Interests.

The history of dairying in Wisconsin
is an interesting one. When farmers,
tired of growing Indifferent crops at low
prices. were about 10 give up discour-
aged, they were induced TO turn their
attention to cheese and butter making.
To-day the business has grown to great
proportions. Within a radius of ten
miles of Burlington there are now
81 creameries, and they are found in
numbers throughout the southern part
of the state. and general prosperity
has followed. Butter and cheese and
milk afford marketable commodities
at all seasons of the year, and enable
the farmer to buy for cash in the mar
kets of the world.

r,nplate Association Disrupted.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 27.-The infor-
nation is current, 1t is said, from those
most vitality interested, that the Tin
plate Manufacturers association has
been disrupted. The dissolution is due
entirely to differences and jealousies
existing within the association, and not
10 any external influences or conditions
of trade. The Tin-plate Manufacturers
association was composed of all the tin
plate manufacturers in the country, ex-
cept few non-union firms in remote
districts. 1t is altogether probable
that another organization of the tin
plate manufacturers viii be effected at
an early date.
