was the shock of the meeting and we
knew that we were making our last
stand. The bright steel circled around
the heads of that band Of desperate
men and the enemy toppled and fell in
windows about each horse. The men
shouted, yelled and laughed as they
fought on with the fury of demons.

Milking Machines.

In the New York Tribune practical
Farmer" says that the tubes Of milk
ing machines cannot be kept clean. The
machine I was familiar with could be
fitted up to milk the 20C-cow dairy in
five minutes, instead of over six hours,
and there is 10 difficulty in keeping ey
erything about it sweet. 1t is also a
complete manipulation. The calf's
bunting is thoroughly initiated. 1t is
so simple that a boy or girl Of Is could
work it. 1t is manufactured in Scot
land, and is a decided success. Every
large dairy should have enc, as 1t saves
the cost of itself in short time. The
milk keeps longer, as it does not get
contaminated with bacteria, being in
all alright bucket. It can be carried
and cooled over the refrigerator ready
for shipment inside of an hour for the
whole performance.

fire of manly vigor and his frame as
upright and supple apparently as when
he left West Point to take his first
gazette. Long years had elapsed since
that time, when a raw subaltern, pos
sessed as they all are, with the belief
that his presence was needed to i'm

service, he tad taken the train for the
Southwest, where his regiment was dis
tributed among the various frontier

sandcoyered plains of the territories.

stood before the fire place and calmly
smoked his after-dinner cigar. Still
full of martial ardor he was on the

the statutory number of years against
him only a short time ago. He is on
the retired list. His bronzed face is
scanned with scars. They cross the
