CHAPTER XIV.
The Battle.

Soundlessly, in the dark hour after
midnight. the great war-bow of the In
dian was strung. But the camp Of the
Americans slept. A light rain fell. 1t
was nearly dawn.
Suddenly through the black mist
spat the red flame Of q rifle; with the
flame and the crack came the sound
of a man running. 1t was the Ken

less save for the soft rush Of the rain
and the dripping of the water from
the trees, suddenly became filed with
the stir and uproar Of the awakening
camp, with the whooping of the hid

David awoke from sleep and bound
ed to his feet. A hand clutched his
wrist and dragged him down again,
while a voice commanded, Keep low :"
He saw that all the others In the
company were quickly. silently look

mained crouching on the ground. The
yells of the Indians seemed loudest

the midst of y red baptism of carnage

At this moment David heard some
one calling TO his captain. He strained
his eyes through the mist, and as the
man ran up to Hargrove, David rec
ognized him as George Croghan. Cap
tain Hargrove spoke sharply:

Croghan saluted. "The chief sur

their burdens and went back for a sec

found some new victim.

LOSS OF FAT IN SKIM MILK
Chief Cause Probably Is Speed Of Bowl
when Turned Too Slow Milk
Does Not Skim Clean.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

Clemson College Bulletin)
Every farmer who uses q separator
to skim his milk should give close at
tention to see that he does not lose fat
in the skim milk. A small percentage
Of fat going into the skim milk contin-
uously means great loss for the year.
If COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
and fOur-tenths Of l per cent Is lost,
1t would mean for the year a loss Of
about So per COW.
There may be many causes to pro-
duce such loss. Probably the chief
cause Is the speed of the bowl. If a
separator Is turned too slowly, the
milk does not skim clean and fat goes
over into the skim milk. Another
cause might be the temperature of the
milk. For close skimming milk should
be IS degrees or above. Still another
cause Is an unbalanced bowl. See
that the separator gets plenty Of oil
when running and do not Neglect 1t
when it gets out Of order.

CBy FRANK D. TOMSON)
1t Is generally recognized that the
type Of cow best suited for the aver
age farmer. who does not specialize in
any line, Is the COW that will yield q
considerable volume of milk and that
will take on flesh readily when not in
milk. The Illustration accompanying
this article shows two ShorthOrn cows
that are fine examples of this combined
beef and milk type. The size and full
ness Of the udder Is the evidence of
their milk production and anyone ex-
perienced in the handling of beef cat
tie will readily recognize the beef
characteristics of these two cows-and
that they have ample scale. The pro-
duce from such cows as these grow
quickly into value as beef or breeding
animals, and the heifers may be relied
upon to perform creditably in the
dairy.
The problem of disposing Of the
male calves, which Is encountered by
dairymen everywhere who rely upon
dairy COWS of the so-called dairy
breeds, does not enter into the calcula-
lions Of the farmer or dairyman who
places his dependence on cows Of the
type shown herewith. The male calves
from such cows as these are snapped
up by neighboring farmers or butch
ers and they are willing to pay a
premium for them.
Through the use Of high-grade cows
Of this type, and there are many thou
sands of such, in which ShOrthorn
blood predominates, the farmer Is as
sured of profits. If there Is an Occa-
sional COW that does not yield profit
able flow Of milk, she readily con-
verts the feed she consumes into beef
and Is working toward the profit
mark through one channel or the other
all Of the time. The great majority
of farmers are not inclined nor
equipped to be specialists. Their ag-
gregate income is made up from re-
turns from diversified activities on the
farm. This being true, the dependable
type of COW Is what has been widely
heralded as the dual-purpose COW, of
which the Illustration Is fine ex-
ample.
A striking example Of this type is
the ShOrthorn cow, Oxford Maid,
owned in Iowa, with weight of 1850
