waste of foodefnr thisinay be averted by right
shelter from the winds in the way of tight
fences if a grove is lacking, and by a shed
or barn in case of cold rain or sleet. It still
costs more to maintain life iia a creature_
'b thin in flesh" than it does where a plump
strong form is kept up. The added food
required does not &real one-fourth the
amount demanded to restore the flesh lost
in a decline of condition. Watering con-
veniences which do net require long distance
trips of the stock on cold days contribute
much to the score of economy. Prevent-

is also desirable. This month isexcel-

One is surprised at the results obtained

Right economy suggests a liberal expendi-
ture of thought and observation in furnish-
ing facilities for the comfort of the farmer
and his animals. For the farmer's conveni-
ence, there should be a door -or opening on
every side of the barn, and if it is a large
building, even more openings to permit the
passage of man and the stock in and out.
The possibility of fire demands this. Time
is saved, too, in doing the work. Latches
to permit opening from both sides are urg-
ently needful. Hurry in deciding the
form of latch for doors or gates has cost
many stockmen ten times the latches' value
afterwards, . in time lost. Several yards
wits the well or tank near as many of them
as may be, add to the comfort of all con-
cerned. Next to a central locations of well

Winter protection is an absolute necessity
for growing small fruit successfully in a
northern climate. It should " be practiced
in every locality where the temperature
reaches zero, or below. With the high cul-
tivation now practiced, a large and tender
growth is stimulated ; hence the greater
necessity for maintaining as uniform a tem-
perature as possible throughout the winter.

that side, but they got the alarm so quic
that we only bagged one and wounded two.
The entire party retreated to the foothills
as soon as we began firing and cheering, and
we dashed forward to find Capt. Cook lying
on his side in a shelter he had constructed
of the loose stones. One bullet had grazed
his shoulder and two others had perforated
his clothing, while at least a score had
struck the rocks shielding his head and
flattened out.
He had been attacked soon after the dog
left. Indeed, the Indians had sighted the
log as he left the shelter, and suspected
the presence of white men. For the first
quarter of an hour the captain had filed
so fast that the reds were deceived into
believing there were three or four men'op•
posed to them instead of one. While the
officer had no bones broken he was terribly
bruised, and could neither sit nor stand.
The Indian we had killed proved to be an
Apache warrior in full rig, and it was
therefore certain that another raid was
being made. The band had evidently split

By order of the captain, who was posed
on the situation and every move made, we
made no reply for an hour. We then found
that the Indians had become reckless about
exposing themselves and had crept up with-
in a stone's throw, probably planning a
sudden assault. With the surgeon we had
five men able to handle a carbine. Secure

as fast as possible.
ANOTHER SURPRISE.
When the ambulance was sent for a disa-
greeable surprise awaited us. The vehicle
itself was found where it had halted, though
lying on its side with a broken wheel. The
mules had evidently taken fright at the
firing and cheering and broken away, and
the tenderfoot driver, no doubt still more
frightened had gone with them. It may
be said here that the driver was not heard
of again, though the mules reached the post
thirty hours later badly tangled up in their
harness. Whether the Indians made a cap-
tive of the man and put him to death, or
whether he lost himself on the plains and
died of exhaustion, may never be known.
The accident to the ambulance put us in a
bad plight. Had the captain been able to
ride a horse we could have started off at
once, but as it was the surgeon decided that
he must be carried on a litter. We were
constructing one when the Indians return-
ed and opened fire on us, and they showed
such an inclination to come to close quar-
ters
ters that we had to drop everything else and
open a hot fire. There was no shelter for
the horses, and within ten minutes all were
killed. The'Apaches no doubt had that
aim in view when they returned to the at-
tack. From that hour to daybreak the only
thing we could do was to lie close, and
while no attack was made Private Green of
our force was killed and Private Williams
disabled by a bullet in the right shoulder.
At daylight the Indians withdrew out of
rifle shot to the east of us and we held a
council of war. The force at the post was
so small and so many had been sent away
in other directions that we could hope for
no immediate relief in that direction. We
were without food or water. If we set out
for the post Capt. Cook must be carried
every step of the way and it was doubtful
if our wounded man could walk a mile.
The Indians were three to one, even if their
strength had not been increased during the
night, and to move out on the plain would
be to court destruction. We would not
remain where we were however, and under
the orders of the captain we left shelter
about 7 o'clock and headed to the north.
We bore him on a litter and our objective
point was a spur of the mountain two miles
away. At that point there were a spring
and a defensible position and we hoped to
stand the Indians off until assistance could
come. As soon as we moved out the
Apaches opened fire,but we pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and did not return
it until obliged to. 'Then we let go of the
litter and gave them such a fusillade that
they were content to simply follow us.
There were twenty-three in the party and
all mounted.

He had been gone an hour when the Indians
were re -enforced by a band of about twenty
coming from the north. These latter brought
with them a white man as captive. He was
given a flag of truce and pushed into view
from the thicket on the south side. He ad-
vanced until he could make his voice heard
and then said:
"My name is Charles Warner. I was
captured last night twenty miles above.
They have shoved me out here to demand
your surrender, but I warn you not to give

a hot fire was opened on our fort for an hour
and as it slackened away we lot ready fag€
a rush. None was made, however. Utter-
ing yells of derision at our cowardice in
clinging to shelter the whole gang made off
to the south, and our danger was over. At
8 o'clock that evening we heard the bark of
a dog to the west, and ten minutes later a
squad of twelve mounted men, led by a cor-
poral, burst through the fringe of bushes
and cheered to Find us alive. An ambulance
followed them, and an hour ' later we were
headed for the post. Of the twelve men
who bad come to the rescue only four were
soldiers. The sutler and his clerk and the
bandmaster were among the volunteers, and
while the squad was being made upitwo
laundresses borrowed carbines and re
and offered themselves as troopers.

Death Blows Do Not Qount.
Canada is always receiving death blows,
and is always surviving them.
The McKinley bill was a death blow.
Canada did not lie down and die. It to a
large extent quit raising crops that it
could not sell in the United States and
started in to raise- something else.
And the Americans were weary of the
McKinley bili, before Canada was overcome
by any tired'feeling.

from the ground up.
They are more low and -flat, ascapacity
for grain and ' hay is not exclusively an
object. Many of them, however, are too
dark, and the board walls are not cold
proof. Simple double boarding does not
make it warm enough for a cow stable in
winter time. Put tarred paper between the -
two layers of boards, or if it is too great a
bother to tear offone`layer, the paper may
be placed on -the inside of the stable. The
so -called -saw dust wa{ Is`where a space -of
five or six _ inches -is left between the
boards to be filled by saw dust, are not
wholly satisfactory in myexperience. The
saw dust is opt to sift out of cracks in the
bottom or sides, and cold enter at the very
apertures sought to be stopped.
If you have not got stones enough on
the place to make a stable wall, use what
you have got to put under the sills to keep
the timbers from rotting. Above all things
avoid a long row of wooden windows in the
side of the stable, with -their corresponding
pyramidal heaps of manure, for the latter
should be scattered on the fields or stored
under shelter. Let those little square
windows with their ill-fitting shutters be
relegated to the past. Cows of the present,
to be profitable, must be kept warm in cold
w eather.
A board stable -with a loose stone founda-
tion should be banked up for the Winter to
preclude under draughts of freezing air.
Do not use manure because it is handy,
but after placing straw against the wall
to protect the wood, bank with dry earth,
and cap this with sense boards to shed
the rain, which would otherwise wash the
earth away. Remember that when you
have secured an impervious wall, you have
gone a long ways toward making- a warm,
humane and comfortable stable for your
cows.

THE CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE.
Capt, Cook rode away about 9 o'clock in
the morning. At 7 o'clock in the evening
he had not returned and his brother officers
began to feel uneasy. At 8 o'clock they
were sure that something had gone amiss.
When another hour had passed without
bringing the captain it was noised about
among the men that a party would be sent
out at 10 o'clock if he did not appear. At
a quarter of 10 the dog passed the sentinels
and trotted strait to headquarters. He
had a piece of paper fastened to his collar
and everybody who saw him knew that he
had brought a message from his owner. It
was a leaf from a memorandum book,and on
it the captain had penciled the words :
I am about fifteen miles southeast of the
post and probably about eight above the
Gila. My horse fell with me and I am
badly hurt, though I hope no bones are
broken. Your objective point will be two
trees with a mass of rock between them.
I am close to the foothills. I have seen a
small party of indians on the move -prob-
ably another Apache raid -but I may not
have been discovered by them. Trust to
the dog to guide you. Bring ambulance.
Be sure to feed the dog. Accident took
place at 4 o'clock, but I have kept
him here until this hour (8:30), hoping I
might get better. My horse has wandered

Tree Planting in the Fall.
The question is often asked Which is
the better time to set out trees, the spring
or the fall? The answer to this must de-
pend upon the nature of the tree or shrub,
the part of country, condition of soil and
climate where the planting is to be done.
For example, in the extreme north or the
open prairie country where the thermom-
eter may -go extremely low, and, what is
worse, where harsh, drying winds may pre-
vail most of the winter, all but the hardiest
of trees and evergreens are decidedly safer
planted in the spring than in the fall. If,
however, -plenty of -roots are taken, and
what is even perhaps of more importance,
a goodly lot of soil is taken with the roots,
allowing no undue exposure of them to the
air, a tree well planted in the fall is per-
fectly safe. - -
Aids to success will consist in evenly'dis-
tributing the roots in the new earth, in
compressing -soil well about the roots, and

What saved us was, their cupidity. As
we got clear of the rocks they rushed in to
secure the plunder. The spare cartridges
from the ambulance we had divided . be-
tween us, and after the horses were killed
we destroyed all the equipments. They
found very little to benefit them, but were
detained some little time in giving burial
to their dead companions. They seemed to
understand our object in moving to the
north, but outnumbering us as they did
they hadn't the courage to make a rush.
We reached the spur to find capital shel-
ter among the bowlders which had fallen
from the mountain side. -There had been
a slide some day, bringing down thousands
of tons of earth and rock, and at one point
there was an overhang of solid rock which
would shelter us from - anything above. We
got the captain under that, found water
and quenched our thirst, and. then set to
and piled up the rocks until we had a

Frightful Experiences.
The Norwegian barque Nordbygd has
arrived in the Tyne with a valuable cargo
of teak from Moulmein, and the master,
Captain Syvertsen, relates a thrilling and
interesting account of his experiences in a
whirlwind. He said that after the depar-
ture of the barque from Moulmein, all went
well for some 26 days,, but on that day -a
complete change took place in the weather; -
the change coming with great suddenness,
but it was of short duration. A whirlwind
came down upon the vessel, but the cap-
tain and crew stuck gallantly to their posts,
and the danger was all over in about three
minutes, though in that atimse and he remast,
sails,
maintopgallant mast, yards,

and jihl�oom, were completely
the sea , in fact, it was a decided smash.
None of the crew were injured duringet e
awful experience, and they quickly
o
work and cut away the rigging, which was
the only means to disentangle the fragments
of the masts and yards,and to save the ship
and cargo. Tnis was accomplished with
success, and once more the Nordbygd was
safe. Captain Syvertsen states that some
portions of the foremast immediately were sent nto
splinters. It was impossible
after the whirlwind to rig a jurymast,oveing
to the heavy sea prevailing. in All andss
