More Negro Farmers Owning Livestock Orangeburg, June 8.?Following the lead of the Extension Service many negro farmer* are becoming more livestock-minded, according to H. E. Daniels, assistant district agent of negro work, who gives report* from two counties as illustrating this tendency. In Bamberg county, J. I>. Marahull, locul agent, reports; "Interest is growing in the production of hogs in the county. W. H. Rearse whipped eight hogs that netted him $136.76, with which he bought fertilizer to plant his crop. The acreage of corn will be materially increased, looking forward to the raising of livestock for home consumption and for market. Bight bushels of improved seed corn was distributed to 12 farmers. Five of the frvoucre corn contestants planted improved seed." L. V. Walker, local agent in Florence county, says: "Eleven brood sows have been placed in the county this year. Eight of them have farrowed 61 pigs, which are being fed for market. This work in livestock is following the agents' program of growing corn in the five-acre corn contest."

It teemed necessary aguln to emphaa'*e my view*. especially after further knowledge of It a neglect In allied nrmlea. The Infantry soldier, weU trained In stealthy approach nnd in the art of taking cover, inakeN a small target and. If an expert rifleman, there la nothing that can take hih place ou the battlefield. 'Specialties of trench wurfare at home," 1 cabled Washington, September 21, 1017, "should not be allowed to Interfere with rifle practice nor with Intensive preliminary training In our schools of soldier, company and battalion.? Americana Retain Jurisdiction. My diary notes the following: Chuutnont. Wednesday. Sept. 26, 191T.?The French agree that we should retain exclusive Jurisdtc} . tlon over American soldiers In Frunce. Chief of ordnuuce at Washington delays storehouse construction by requesting views of French commissioner regarding our necessities. Have again cabled relative to carelessness and delay In louding of transports. The War department had brought up the question of civil Jurisdiction over the members of our forces in Frum-e and had inquired regarding the altitude of the French. My Judge advocate. Col. W. A. Bethel, presented our opinion to the French authorities, which was that according to ttie principles of International luw, and In view of the conditions under which the American army was serving in Frunce, Its Uiembera should not be subject to criminal prosecution in Frunch courts but should be answerable only to our own military tribunals, Tuis view wus reaaiiy accepted by the French, and very properly the Jurisdiction over our forces, both civil and military, remained In our hands. "Great Confusion at Home." There was ample evidence of great coufusion at home due to lack of efficient supervision, even In New York harbor, where expert* should have been easy to find. Ships were seldom loaded to their full capacity; supplies greately needed were often left behtud; nonessentials were being feat over; many things wore broken due to careless loading; troops were ofteu shipped to one port and their equipment to another. The Washington bureaus often followed blindly some out-of-date supply table perhaps drawn up under a former regime by an antiquated desk soldier long since retired und 'forgotten. As an illustration, 1 recall a bill of lading ftotu one of our transports that was presented t?* me about this time as a curiosity. It listed a number of articles quite useless to un army In tha field and provoked the following cable: "For all departments. Recommend no further shipments be made of following articles . . . batb bricks, bookcases, bathtubs, cabinets for bjanks, chairs except folding chairs, cuspidora, office degks, floor wax, hose except fire v? luwn rnnwcri. refrigerators, settees, sickles, stools, window shades. Further stop orders will | follow soon.'1 We were short-handed, both at depots and along the line of cotprnunlcatlons, In all classes of labor that should have been sent over long before. The quartermaster corps In France wns seriously handicapped In handling, caring for and Issuing lta stores and supplies. The need for stevedores had become most urgent Combat troops were still being used to unload cargo and much time was wasted by the use of labor that was entirely unsuitable for this sort of work through lack of experience. Moreover, It was urgent that the combat troops should bo sent Milan 1 to receive their battle Instruction. I he Trench, although short themsoives, bad loaned us a few prisoners .ml also .sonic w<>::iei; as laborers to help out, but neither class was satisfactory. Under the conditions there was danger that our ports would become hopelessly congested, although three weeks Inter, and after further urgent appeals,' the War department promised to send stevedores at once. Line Training for Flrat Division. My diary notes the following: Ohaumont, Thursday, Oct. 4. 1917.?Gen. da Castlenoa called Tuesday to discuss antry of First division In the line. Wltnassad attack maneuver of the division yesterday and conducted critique. Ambassador Sharp cams today with Mr. Joseph llelnach for a visIt and had lunch with us. Have cabled appeal for officers fitted for general staff. The French, always solicitous regardlng the progress of our training, were anxious that our most advanced American unit take its place In a quiet sector, for the experience. The main reason they advanced for suggesting front-line training at this time. wUH which I fully agreed, was that 't would viva new encouragement to their armies and through them to the people. The First division Itself wus keen to take a more active part and was soon to have the opportunity. Tills division had been billeted In the training area since July lb and hud begun to show the excellent effects of tiie system of training we'had prescribed. At ttie maneuver which I attended the otticers handled their units with considerable skill, particularly (.'opt F. II. Burr, who conducted an attack with Ids battalion of the Twenty-eighth regiment, and llaj. Theodore Itoosevelt. Jr., who did a similar, problem with Ids battalion of the Twenty-sixth regiment, Pisaaed With Efftclanoy. At the division school the bayonet exercises, special target practice, firing with trench mortars, bomb-throwing and other trench training were well carried out. I returned much pleased with the evidences of efficiency In this organization, which was later to become famoua among the armies on the westfront. My diary says: Paris, Wednesday. Oct. 10, 1017. ?Spent Huoday at Gondlrecourt, First division field meet, with General Harbord, General Rflgueneau and Representative MedlU McCorudek. We lunched with Bullard. "Yesterday evening the officers at G. II. Q. called to extend congratulations on confirmation of my uppolntinent as general. All lieuds of permanent staff departments appointed to grade of brigadier general. A group of major generals are over tin tour of inspection. > The stuff department heads who became brigadier generals ut that time*were: James G. Harbord, chief staff; Benjamin Alvord, udjim.nt general: Harry I,. Rogers, quartermaster general; W. A. Bethe, Judge-advocate tue Chumhrun miiu iicuo/ muU Cap lain lb?yd. The troops of the division were drawn lip iii Una ready to receive us and presented a nilieh better appearance than at the review by President I'olncare. The men were especially keen to ha Inspected by a marahal of Franc* and (heir pride waa clearly evldeot by their perfect lluea they 'swung by In the march paat. The marshal iu turu waa enthualaatlc over their rigorous appeurunce aud military bearing. One Incident occurred that waa not on the program, (.ill the way to tbe tield for the ceremony a well-groouied mule that happened to be running loose pricked up Ida ears, looked ua over and decided to trot along with us. One of my stuff wagered that this wi?e animal knew what waa going on and would be present to see the march past. Sure enough, when we reached our position this Missouri product had preceded us. Cautiously approaching, he dlspluyed the great* est curiosity In the guest of honor. As all efTorts to drive him away seemed futile, he hovered near as an Interested spectator of the proceedings, much to the amusement of the marshal. Review Othsr Units. I gave a luncheon at Neufchateau for the marshal's party and my own and the senior officers of the First division. After that we sayr the training conducted by the First corps school and rialted the American and French billets at the village of Bt. Blln, where the One Hundred and First regiment, Twenty-sixth division, and tha French Sixty-ninth passed In review in excellent form. As we returned toward Chaumont other American and French units were drawn up by the roadside in honor of the marshal. ' It was rather late when we started and darkness overtook us while passing on foot through the lines. The trumpets of each regiment sounded as we approached, and with the tights from our automobiles close behind illuminating the trees that bordered the highway and the faces that peered through the shadows to catch a glimpse of the marshal the scene suggested some legendary painting. Finally we halted and the troops. Including the French One riundred and Fifty-first Infantry, which had made a remarkable record at Verdun, marched past us. As the regiments came out of the darkness Into the spotlight of our autos they made a Genera* Persning rnspectlng Poltus. general; Edgar Ttussell, chief of signal corps; G. C. Williams, chief of ordnunee, and A. E. Bradley, chief surgeon. Officers Visit Battlefields. In accordance with my recommetulaJuiainn o<xmmnndora from the states were being sent over to visit the battlefields, armies and schools In order to become acquainted with conditions and to experience the atmosphere of war. It was Important that they should appreciate the realities and become fully Impressed with the urgency of thorough preparation of their commands. It was thought they would become impressed with the aggressive spirit that charaeterlwd our training In France by coming Into close touch with our methods. These officers were sent t<> visit the allied fronts and to see demonstrations at our own training fields and schools and were also taken along the line of communications. I took occasion to give them personally mv conception of the course of training that j should be followed at home, niak rig [ an e*?pe?-?nl point of riaid discipline. 1 rille practice and the instruction of i junior officers in open warfare. A number of the* officers sent over were either physically unfit or had reached the age when new Ideas fall to make much of an Impression, and consequently I recommended that those of both classes be left at home for other duty or to be retired. CHAPTER XVM Marshal Joseph Joffre, upon my Invitation, arrived at Chaumont October lb, 1917, to see our First division. The French mllltar*..-oflkl4b were anxious to show their respect and It was arranged to have both an American and a French guard or honor drawn up to salute him upon his arrival at my residence. These two small guards vied with each other and both seemed to get a great thrill mil of the ceremony. After an interesting evening with the marshal and his staff as our guests we left the next morning by motor car for Treverny, accompanied by Generals Hagueneau and Alvord, Colonels $ picture never to be forgotten. Denies False Cable Rumor. Returning to Paris October 19, 1 learned that a dispatch from Berlin to the New York Times represented me as having said that the German . lines .were Impregnable. The report might have been Idle gossip, but It was more probably circulated to create the impression that our armies were starting on a forlorn hope. This report was so far from the truth that I cabled the secretary of war that It wus absolutely false and without any foundation whatever. In every reference to our future operations 1 had strongly maintained hat it was not only possible to break the German lines but that It would be d'?ue. The very system of training that we were persistently following was based on the determination to force the Germans out or their trenches and bent them In the open >n no other theory could they have >een defeated. Yet without question there wa re not ? few among our allies and probably me in our own army who thought task impocsi'ie. supporting their view by citing the failures of the previous three \e.irs. especially that' of the spring of U)17. It was none the less a surprise, however, when ft report came directly to me that such views had actually been expressed In the presence of civilian visitors by officers of rank In our army. I was Indignant to learn of that kind of talk, and in commenting on it to the Americans who had heard such abatements made I said that "The German lines can be broken, they must bs broken, and they will he broken," and those present will recall that It waa said with considerable emphasis. Positive steps were taken at once to eradicate such notions, or st least prevent them from being openly stilted, and 1 was determined to relieve Immediately any officer, without regard to rank, who should express any such opinion. First Division Moves In. My general Impression of the sit nation at this time was set forth In a | cable t'o Washington October 21 : - \ 1 -V' ,A, riassBBEfcr^- - "Hurlne tho li??? wt??UT th*? wutt?rsoaked ground In Flnndero and ?m the western front generally haa prevented further development of offensive movements.

As the training of the First division had n<>w progressed sufficiently it was put into line in the quiet sector north- j east of l.uimville, under t-he supervision of tic Fn m h. for actual trench experience The division was underofficered and short of horses, clothing i a"d many other things, especially rolling kitchens, of which a few had only recently been received, and trucks, which were borrowed from the French. 8tre?sed Need of Winter Clothing. | My repeated cables, beginning In J July, for winter clothing had received I scant attention, end with the comfog of colder weather the shortage became critical. The initial stock requeetod was disallowed, tho monthly allotments were totally Inadequate and the depots were practically empty. 1 The explanation that catae from the quartermaster general'# office, that our j requests could not be granted on ac| count of the need# at home, 'showed a total lack of appreciation ef the necessity of properly clothing the fighting man actually at the front ah000 ail other a.

' I JUNK LIVMTOCK HINTS By Pr*f. L, V. BUrfcty, el Clcmaou CelUge If pig* were furrowed by the middle of March they are now about two and one-half month* old, should have been weaned at about eight week? or age, and should not be on territory which i? infested with parasites. At from six to eight.weeks of age the male pigs should have been castrated. 'By Jgne 1J>, soybeans should be at leust 12 inches high and ready for grazing. The pigs should be turned on the beans and allowed n liberal corn ration. Farmers will not be far wrong if they give the pigs all of the corn they will eat, The. fe.ed can also be improved by feeding fish meal to pigs which ure receiving a full-corn ration. If the corn is limited, it will probably not pay to feed an additional protein supplement. Both pregnant and open sows should be carried on some good forage such as soybeans or alfalfn. They should have just enough corn to keep them gaining slightly. (Shade and fresh water are indispensable. Sheep should be on good permanent pasture. If the pasture is good, no grain -will be necessary, except for the lambs. It is exceedingly important to have a frequent change of pasture. The ideal situation is to have four pastures and turn the sheep to a fresh one every two weeks. This system does not take more pasture, but does take more fence. Lambs should be sold not later than June I'd. Just after weaning the lambs, the ewes should be placed on exceedingly good pasture to flush them and cause them to breed early. The rain should be turned with the ewes about July 1. About nil the attention, beef cattle need during June is that they have plenty of grass, fresh water, salt and shade. If the cows have young calves, make sure that the cows' udders are not in danger of spoiling. It may be necessary to milk them out every other day. The banks of Columbia, Greenville and Charleston have agreed to reduce the rate of interest they pay on savings' and time deposits from four to three per cent on July 1, but the banks in smaller cities are not accepting the plan as yet. The larger banks in North Carolina favor the reduction in interest rate. GOOD LAXATIVE FOR ALL AGES All people?young and old? seed Thedford's Black-Draught when troubled with constipation.
