take part, except twice when he saw
a gigantic Indian brandishing his
rifle at at the edge Of the woods, en-
! couraging his companions behind,
and each time he grunted and begged
for a gun. Dave made out that the
Indian was the one who had treated
the boy cruelty and that the lad was
after a personal revenge.
A last sally was made just before
sunset. A body pushed against Dave
in the tower and Dave saw the
stranger boy at his side with his bow
and arrow. A few minutes later he
heard a yell from the lad which
rang high over the din and he saw
the feathered tip of an arrow shak-
ing in the breat of the big Indian
who staggered and fell behind a
bush. Just at that moment there
.were 'yells from the woods behind

the lad leap the wall Of the stockade
and disappear behind the fleeing In
dians.
Gone back to EN-" he grunted to
himself. The gates were thrown
open, Old jerome and his men
rushed out, and besieged and rcscu-
ers poured all their fire after the
running Indians, some of whom
turned bravely to empty their rifles
once more.
Cit in! Git in, quick" yelled old
Joel. He knew another volley would
come as soon as the Indians reached
the cover of the thick woods, and
come the volley did.

the Virginians, whose head Topped
forward as the entered the gate and
was caught in old Joels arms. Not

another sound came from the woods,
but again Dave from the tower saw
the eane-brush rustic at the edge of
thicket, saw a hand thrust upward
with the palm Of peace toward the
fort, and again the stranger boy
emerged-this time with bloody
scalp dangling in his left hand.
In the. center of the enclosure the
wounded Virginian lay, and waen
old Jerome stripped the shirt from
his breast he shook his head grayely.
The wounded man opened mis- eyes
just in time to see and he smiled.

then his eyes caught the boy with
the scalp, were fixed steadily and
began to widen.

IMPROVEMENT OF DAIRY INDUSTRY
AIMED AT BY RECENT CONFERENCE

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
AS a result Of the conference Of
representatives Of the purebred dairy
cattle associations held in Washing
ton, May s, at the call of DR.. @. W.
Larson, chief Of the dairy division
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture, a number of important
recommendations were made for the
improvement of the dairy industry,
especially the purebred dairy cattle
business. Each of the breed associa-
tions, including the Ayrshire, Brown
Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein-Friesian, and
Jersey, was represented by two or
more delegates. The subjects of dis
cussion had to do with the improve
ment of dairy cattle, advanced regis
try, fairs, and sales.
No conferences Of this kind had
been held for several years, and the
representatives expressed the desire
that this one might result in the for
nation of permanent organization to
thresh out problems of mutual interest
and to work for the general better
ment of the industry. Figures pre-
pared by the department showed de-
cided need for improvement in dairy
animals and in making the best use
Of the improved animals that are now
available. The average production Of
the cows of the United States is about
1000 pounds Of milk and 16O pounds
of butterfat wear, while the average
COW in some other countries produces

worked out, which will be agreeable
to the breeders, the associations, and
the colleges that send out the official
testers. (
The showing of dairy animals at
fairs and expositions received good
deal of attention from several angles.
1t was decided to recommend to the
associations that they cease giving
money prizes at these shows, but
spend the funds in putting on educa-
tional exhibits; that more attention
should be given to production records
in awarding prizes at fairs and
shows; that the associations repre-
sented should give more attention tn
educational exhibits showing the eco
nomic advantage of purebreds in dairy
practice; that each association has
distinct duty In connection with the
selection of suitable persons to act aH
judges Of the various breeds of dairy
cattle ut fairs and shows; that no anil.
mails should be admitted to fairs and
expositions unless they are from herds
accredited as being free of tubercu-
losis or in herds under federal or state
supervision, and that fairs not enforc-
ing such rule should not be favored
with animals for exhibits.
Live Stock Sales Discussed.
| Questions relating to private and
public sales were discussed, and it was
decided to suggest a meeting ut an
early date of all the dairy cattle asso-

right up to the door and began to dig

WOODDY'S BATTLE

T TITLE WOODDY CHUCK found
IL himself one day all alone in the
big world, for his mother had put him
with his brothers and sisters, out OF
their home, and told them they must
look out for themselves.
Mrs. Woodchuck is not very low
ing mother-not at all like Mrs. Fox
who takes the greatest care of her
children, or Mrs. Possum, who often
is bringing up two families at the
same time.
And so it happened that little Wood
dy Chuck found himself looking for
home one day when lie was quite
young.
He was not at all afraid, because he
had never seen dog or gun; so he
hunted around and found a. place to
make a new home. Now, wood
chucks are not very hard working ami
mails; so, when Woody had finished
his home he went inside and stayed
until the next day, when the sun was
nice and warm, for woodchucks are
very fond of summing themselves.
For a long time Woody Chuck
thought the world was a very nice
place. The garden was near, and OF
course he thought all the vegetables
were grown for his use; so he ate all
he wanted.
But one day he had a rude awaken
ing, for Mr.. Dog saw him, and after
him he ran; but as Woody is good
runner, he easily reached his home
ahead of Mr.. Dog and turned around

Food and Drugs Act Is Violated
by Some Feed Dealers.
Federal Officers Have Been Instructed
to Watch for Interstate Ship
ments of Feeds AduIterated
or Misbranded.

PREPARED by the United States Department
of Agrtculture)
Some feed dealers are refilling used
feed sacks stamped or printed with
the name of the manufacturer and
the brand name of the feed that was
originally in the sack, so that the
names and brands are not true in
reference to the feed in the sack after
refilling, according to officials of the
bureau of chemistry, United States De
partment of Agriculture, who are
charged with the enforcement Of the
Food and Drugs act.
A feed dealer Of Iowa was recently
cited to q hearing under the Federal
Food and Drugs act for shipping into
Interstate commerce mOlaSSeS feed
In bags which he had refilled but
which bore the name Of another feed
manufacturer. The sacks also bore q

almost twice as much. There are 80
million grade and scrub dairy animals
in the country and less than million
purebreds. There are 1866 ,664 Amer
lean farms having dairy cattle, and
only 2OS,2 of these farms have pure
bred dairy cattle. 1t Is estimated that
approximately 2500O0 purebred dairy
bull calves born each year are not
needed on the farms where purebreds
are kept. OF the purebred animals
that were registered last year, about
10000 were females and less than
5000 males, which Indicates that not
half of the purebred dairy bulls are
registered.
Recommend Better Sires.
Among the recommendations made
by the conference were those express
ing approval of plans for increasing
the use of purebred bulls in scrub and
grade herds, and Of the plans for CO.
operative bull associations as being
the best known means for distributing
surplus bulls and introducing them
into new territory. Although there is
a place in this country for all the
purebred dairy cattle that may be pro-
duced for some time, it was the con-
sensus Of opinion that an expert bust
ness in purebreds would help to stimu-
late interest among farmers at home.
A number of questions related to
advanced registry were brought up.
Coordination Of effort by and between
the agricultural colleges and the breed
associations was suggested, and it was
recommended that these organizations
and institutions make special efforts to
cooperate. In this connection it was
suggested that the various representa-
tives ask their associations at their
earliest meetings to appoint commit
tees to meet with the Dairy Science
association to see if an improved plan
for making official tests Of cows can be

mate some of the undesirable condi-
tions. Since an excessive amount OF
attention is given to a few high prices
to the neglect Of average conditions,
1t was also agreed to recommend to
the associations that they send In to
the bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates Of the department regular re-
ports of prices paid for purebred dairy
cattle.
The representatives were well
pleased with the accomplishments of
the conference and were In favor OF
holding similar ones ut frequent inter-
walls. During their stay in Washington
they were received by President Hard
ing and were addressed by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace. DR.. John r.

industry, attended the meetings and

Both Fabrics for Summer Wear Of
fered In Wide Color Range;
Vogue Seems Assured.

In the lineup Of fabrics that are
frequently and effectively combined,
plain Organdie and dotted swiss may
be mentioned for real summer wear,
ard both of these fabrics are offered
this season in such wide color range
IN in so many interesting embroidered
effects that their vogue seems destined
to be greater than usual. Dotted swiss
with overplaid or stripe in contrasting
color are extremely pretty, and it is
possible to match either the overplaid
or the major color in the fabric in a
plain organdie, when it is desired to
make a frock combining the two ma
teIials.
Fabrics tnat contrast in color as
we'll as weave are combined in the
making of charming frocks, but in
selecting a blouse to accompany a
suit, the average welldressed woman
either chooses white Or else looks
for material that matches or blends
