Branches of Service

Cavalry
Men who have liking for horses Will probably
find in the Cavalry agreeable service. In this
branch of the service a soldier, upon joining his
organization. horse is assigned to him. OF which
he pust at all times take the best OF care. He is
Taught thoroughly how to ride and how to care
for and train horses. His work is mostly mounted.
After serving an enlistment in the cavalry the
man usually energies an expert rider and alround
horseman The mounted service holds the rspe
caI attraction of a certain dash and daring which
many prefer.
Field Artillery
The field artillery offers practically the same
as the cavalry the difference being that the field
artillery uses fields guns, which are of different
classes light, mountain and heavy. The heavy
field artillery also includes ho"itzers. In the
horse artillery which accompanies the cavalry,
the cannoneers are all mounted on horses. Men
unaccustomed to horses, or who are not fond OF
riding. will probably be best suited to the infantry
or the coast artillery.

Fruit Buffers.

As a final drive on fruit presery-
ing the United States Department OIL
Agriculture urges the making Of
homemade fruit buffers. This is
recommended not only to those who
grow the fruit but to those in the city
who may take advantage OF large sup
plies and cheap prices. In a great
many cases it will be possible for
city. people to get from outlying
farms fruit which might otherwise
he wasted.
Various fruit buffers recommend
ed are apple butter with cider, apple
butter without cider, apple butter
with grape juice, apple butter with
lemons, pear butter, peach butter,
plum butter, and Garfield butter
made with plums and peaches. With
the exception of a good preserving
kettle very little equipment is needed
for the preparation of such buffers
Apple Butter.

apples, says the department, than 10

bruised apples may also be used, The

Many farmers will take advantage
of the opportunity to recover n
profitable revenue from this over
looked and waste product; others,
according to distance from the mar
kets, may sell at little or no profit,
except the satisfying sense of patriot
ic duty performed. Still others re-
mote from the consuming foundries
and furnaces can not afford high
cost of delivery which may far exceed
the price received for the junk. In
formation should he secured in ad-
vance on this question. The Geol-
ogical Survey suggests that farmers
take up the question through the
Grange, the Alliance, the farmers
institutes, and other similar organi-
cations, with view to ascertaining
the location of the best market, prob
ably the nearest foundry or junk
dealer; the cost of transportation; the
best prices obtainable for the differ
ent classes of junk or implements,
and the quantities of junk that can BE-
used at the foundry or handled by
the dealer. The same agencies might
we'll arrange for cooperative local &C
ton on the part of the farmers in
the different communities, fixing
dates when cars would be in readi-
ness for loading the old metals, in
forming the farmers as to possible
grading of their junk and attendin:
to railway transportation, delivery,
and possibly settlements at the points
of consumption.
Cooperation should bring the best
results. Care should be taken not to
overwhelm the furnace or consumer
by all shipping at once, so that too
great quantities are delivered with
in a short period, for it is important
to bear in mind that many foundries
may not have the junk capacity or
the extra labor needed to assert and
break up great quantities of scrap
when il is delivered. Somewhat def
mite arrangements should be made
in advance of shipments, and these
can be accomplished by some such
agency as those suggested above.
The coming autumn, winter, and
early spring should be the best time
for gathering up the scrap metals,
getting in touch with the markets,
and arranging community shipments.
The farmer should learn whether he
Is too far from markets and should
ascertain the scope and extent of the
market demands. There is plenty Of
time within which to gather and ship
his scrap, but his cooperative infor-
nation system should be organized
now. The farmers have many hun
dreds OF thousands Of tons on hand;
the prices are unprecedentedly high;
the country needs the metals. From
the economic standpoint, il is ques-
tion of profitable thrift, of relieving
in part the shortage in the metals,
of conserving the iron-ore and coal

Sell Lambs on "Pluck- Out" Basis.

Where lambs are sold with the
pluck" or heart, liver, lungs, ana
windpipe, left in the carcass, the re-
taller pays an exOrbitant price for the
pluck" according to the meat-mar-
ket specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
pluck" weighs from , to pounds
according to the size of the lamb.
With choice lambs selling at S25
hundredweight, the dealer will pay
rs cents on full carcass basis for
3-pound pluck" the meat on which
brings, approximately 20 cents. More
over, when demand is slack, "plucks
spoil in the carcass and are a total
loss as meat. Market specialists
suggest that the retail trade would
do well to follow the example of
those dealers who pay premium OF
! to IL cents per pound for lambs
sold on a "pluck-out' basis.

Planting Seed.

Every farmer in the South should
look after his planting seed during
the month of October. Corn, soy
beans, velvet beans, peas, and pea
nuts should be selected and careful
ly stored Seed may be scarce next
spring and a little extra effort this
fall will prevent q great deal of wor-
ny and expense in the spring.
Hay and SiIos.
October is a good month to lay up
stock feed for winter use. Fill the
silos, cut sorghum and peavine hay,
cut the lespendeza for hay and seed.
This is the month to harvest pea
nuts, soy beans, and velvet beans for
seed and for sale on the market.
When these are harvested the hogs
may be turned in to gather what is
, left in the field
Potatoes.
This is the month to dig and store
, the fall sweet-potato crop. The COM
munity storage house or farm stor-
age house suggested last month
should be ready. Safe storage is an
important item of food conserva-
ton.
Let the fall Irish potatoes come to
full maturity. Consult the county
agent regarding storage in pits and
cellars for winter use.
Sirup.
1t is very important that Southern
farmers who have late sorghum or
sugar cane should utilize it to the
fullest possible extent in making sir
UP for family use and for sale. The
month of October is the time to act.
Every possible preparation to make
the strip on the farm or to haul the
cane to a nearby mill for the manu-
facture of strip should be made.
Prepare for Winter.
October is a good month to repair
the buildings and get them in good
shane for winter use. This is espe-
cially true of sheds, barns, feed lots,
and other buildings used by live
stock.
The farm equipment of machinery,
tools, etc, also should be looked az
ter. Proper protection from the
weather, a little paint to prevent the
rotting of wood and some heavy
grease or paint to prevent the rust
ing Of iron and steel parts will make
The tools last longer.
Live Stock.
Utilize the fall pasture and fields
where crops have been harvested, to
the fullest possible extent and save
,he waste products of the farm. Use
the pastures and fields and all field
stored roughage and save the grain
and hay which you have stored in
he barn for use at times when the
fields and pastures can no Longer be
utilized
Look over your live stock careful
ly and select those animals which
arc productive and which ought to
be kept, and sell those which are I'M
productive. Prepare the Gull ami
mails for early market and save the
room and feed for good stock.
DO Not Sell Work Stock.

demand and will be during the war

tanned from the farms is necessary
for the conduct of the war. Because
of tho demand and the disturbed
transportation facilities farmers are
urged not to sell the work stock in
the fall expecting to buy back new
stock in the spring. 1t is customa-
nv in many sections of the South for
farmers, both owner farmers and ten
ants. to sell their mules in the fall
and buy new ones in the spring to
save feeding. The incentive to fol-
low the usual custom is greater this
year than ever before on account Of
the high price of feed, but the risk
of being unable TO obtain mules and
horses in the spring to work the
farms is much greater at this time
than in any other year. The only
safe plan is to hold the necessary
work stock for another year. AS
hand labor on the farms becomes
scarces, good horses, mules, and mod
ern labor-saving machinery becomes
much more necessary.
County Agents. y
There are about 1000 county
agents in the South and more are
being appointed as rapidly as train
ed men can be found. If farmers
have problems in storage, market
ing, harvesting, selection OF seed,
care of live stock, or any other farm
problems. they should consult the
county agent. Make diligent inquiry
and find out about this organization
and its ability to help you during the
war.
