| Some of his fellows are marked with
numbers branded into their hoofs. A
single glance at the "U' tells an ex-
! pert Immediately from what depot the
horse wearing it came, for every buy
er employs an individual variation of
the letter.
From the live stock trains the horses
are herded into the stockyard pens,
each one of which holds just a car
load of animals, where come the Off
cial veterinarians, examining every
one, making sure that his long cattle
car jaunt has not injured him and also
verifying the judgment Of the buyer,
for every horse must be cardinally
sound in wind and limb. Any one of
the more serious of equine troubles,
including the slightest symptom of
spawn, ring bone, side-bone or cata-
ract. disqualifies the animal showing
it, for which reasons alone 10 per cent
of the animals offered to the buyers
in the field are rejected.
In making their examinations the
veterinarians are careful to look to
the general condition OF the animals,
there being always a certain small
percentage of them suffering from
some minor sickness or the bad effects
of train accidents.
But even after the ailing ones are
"culled OUT and sent to the hospital
for treatment, those passed as sound
are not yet ready to go aboard the
ship. First of all they must recuper-
ate from their long rail journey, and
so they are permitted to rest, some
times few days and often for weeks,
being given special attention and
scientific feelings calculated to best
aid them toward the recovery of their
full powers.
When at last a horse evidences a
condition as nearly perfect as the
experts can produce, he and his fell
lows are taken to the haltering pens,
for until this time the horse has had
not so much as a single rope upon
him. There special halters are ad-
justed so that-in the case of many
horses purchased by France-it is only
necessary when the anim1i reaches
the other side to snap two strap 10 his
head-stalls and make him instantly
ready to be hitched to the gun-limber
or the wagon of the transport train
in which he is to end his days.

country and assembled at fixed points,
the buyers purchasing wherever they
can obtain animals basicly sound.
The British points of concentration
are located in Denver, where one buy
err is stationed; in st. Louis, where
Their are two, and in Kansas City
where there are two, in addition to
the ever-changing headquarters of one
buyer who works ''at large" setting
UP his market wherever the animals
he seeks chance to be collected.
The price paid for the "gunners"
averages 5000. Twice as many of
them are purchased as of transport
drafts or cavalry mounts, because of
the greater slaughter among the bat
teries. An average of $175 is paid for
good cavalry mount. Yet these fig
ures are not fixed as standards, as the
buyer uses his own discretion in the
matter of the prices he pays.
Whether a horse will go into the ar
tillery or the troops, so far as the
British are concerned, is determined
by his height, the gunners standing
1873 hands high, and built proportion
ately, while the troop horses may be of
rangier lines, up to sixteen hands.
At the point of purchase horse, be

POINTS FOR THE
SOUTHERN GARDENER


The gardener in the South may well
remember certain important facts
which are summed up in the United
States Department of Agriculture's
new Farmers Bulletin entitled THE
Home Garden in the South" They
are as follows:
ID In nearly all sections of the
South there is scarcity of fresh veg
etables during a large part OF the
year
% A well-kept garden will yield
return eight to ten times as great as
that from an equal area devoted to
cotton or to other general farm crops.
CD The value of vegetables in the
diet is a great deal more than the
mere food or money value, as they fur
nish large part of the essential salts
which are necessary to the we'll being
of the human system.
(4) The location selected for the
garden should be as near the house
as possible Practically any type of
soil can be used for vegetables, but
sandy loan is to be perfected.
90 Good drainage is of prime if
portance. If the land has not good
natural drainage, artificial drainage
should be employed.
CD Where cultivation is to be done
by means of horse tools the garden
should be long and narrow, with the
rows running the long way of the gar
den.
CD The garden should be laid off
in straight rows for either horse or
hand cultivation.
go An area of one-fourth to one
half acre in garden crops should be
sufficient for a family of average size.
60 The garden should be occupied
as large part of the year as possible.
AS soon as one crop is removed, an
other should be planted, so as to have
succession of crops coming on all
the time.
GOA good system of rotation
should be followed in the home garden,
in order to keep diseases and insects
condition.
I'D The soil for the garden should
be thoroughly prepared before plant
ing vegetables. A deep soil is desir-
able, but the depth should be increased
gradually.
Q2) Barnyard or stable manure
is the best fertilizer for vegetable
growing, as it furnishes both plant
food and humus. Where manure is
not available, green crops, such as
cowpeas, soy beans, vetch, or crimson
clover, should be turned under to sup
ply humus and part of the nitrogen.
Commercial fertilizers can be employ
ed to furnish most of the plant food,
but without humus in the soil the fer
tilizer will be of little value.
03) For early crops of cabbage, !
cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, egg !
plant, etc, the seed should be started
in a hot bed or cold frame, or in a
box in the dwelling. In most sections
of the South a cold frame will be sat
isfactory, but in the colder regions
hotbed should be used.
14) In order to secure good
stocky plants with large root systems,
