PLANS BURROUGHS TO

PLANS BURROUGHS TO
HELP FARM WORK.
For the purpose of augmenting agrl-
cultural production it is the intention OF
the War Department to grant furloughs
to enlisted men to enable them to en-
gage in farming during the present sea
son. Commanding officers may grant
such furloughs within prescribed rules
whenever it appears they will contribute
to increased farm production.
Furloughs may be given by command,
ing officers of posts, camps, canton
ments, divisions and departments. They
will be for short periods, largely for
seeding and harvesting time. They will
not be granted to enlisted men Of or
above the grade of first sergeant, nor in
an organization that has been ordered to
move or is in transit from points Of
mobilization or training to a point of
embarkation. All furloughs granted
will be recalled and the men ordered to
their organizations when they have re-
ceiyed preparatory orders for duty over
seas.
Furloughs granted for farm work will
be without pay and allowances, except
| that enough pay will be retained in each
case to meet allotments in force on the
day of the order, war-risk insurance, and
pledges on Liberty Bonds.
For specially qualified experts in agri-
culture furloughs may be granted by the
Secretary of War upon application by
the Secretary of Agriculture, providing
such furloughs are voluntarily accepted
by the persons for whom application is
made.
Individual applications for furloughs
submitted by relatives will be on form
to be furnished by local draft boards.
Two sections are to be made out and
presented to the local board, which will
complete the form.
If the furlough is granted the applica-
ton will be fled by the commanding
officer and a certificate furnished the
soldier. If not granted, the application
will be returned with reasons for dis
approval.
If the soldier initiated the application
he will give the name of the person for
whom he desires to work, from whom
will be ascertaned the need for farm
service.
Furloughs may be granted en- bloc to
men who are willing to accept them,
upon requests Of farmers, when time
consumed in travelling from the post to
the place of labor will not exceed "A
hours. In making these applications
farmers will use form Of the Provost
Marshal Generals office, also going to
the local board,

FARM ERS ARE WASTING

Brookings. Farmers who are selling
% per cent. cream not only waste skim
milk but they also handle and cool more
cream which is likely to sour than if it
were separated richer. This statement
is made by J Nj. Eldredge, assistant
dairy expert at the State College. The
following suggestions for more profit on
milk and cream are offered by him.
The amount of skimmilk wasted de.
pends upon the test. We will say you
deliver 100 pounds of p per cent cream
which means YOU will have % pounds
of fat. Now, were you To raise your
test to 40 per cent you would have So
pounds of cream Tins means a saving
of 45 pounds of skimmik 1t will take
but half as long to cool it and it doesn't
take as many cans TO hold it. 1t is a
we'll known fact that thin cream will
sour quicker than heavy cream for the
simple reason that thin cream contains
more milk serum on which the bacteria
live.

nearer to us. Charles Buell. was the
first Of Company to give his life for his
country, and how many more there will
be no one can tell We can only con-
lecture.
Corporal Buell. enlisted as a private,

lotte, 5. c., then to Camp Mills, Long
Island, and then to Camp Merritt, from
where he sailed February llth, reaching
France February 23rd. He had been
advanced to Sergeant, but had not re.
ceiyed his papers, which was his second
promotion within two months. For six
weeks previous to his death he had been
serving on a motor supply train, and
had written that he liked his work The
words cause undetermined" leaves
| much for conjecture, but nothing as Ger.
tainty except his death-with the only
consolation for his sorrowing parents,

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much dlsap-
pointed to find that their family physl-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like pain III
the stomach and bowels, collie and diar-
rhoea require prompt treatment, and
have in many instances proven fatal
before medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right way is
to keep at hand bottle Of Chamber
lain s Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy. NO
physician can prescribe better medi-
cine for these diseases. By having it in
the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy it now; 1t
may save life.
