serious risks in moving about the
waters of the Adriatic which are we'll
suited to these craft.
So far as land battles are concerned,
interest still centers in southern Poland,
where the Russians, strongly reinforced
with both men and guns, and with their
railways and the fortresses of Ivangorod
and Brest-Iitovsk to draw upon, have
held up the Austro-German attempt to
outflank Warsaw from the southwest
The Austrians tonight made the admis-
sion that before superior Russian forces
they have withdrawn to the hills to the
north of krasnik.
Russians Confident
Further heavy fighting must occur in
this region, but the Russian military
writer's express confidence that now any
effort Of the Germanic allies to deliver
that the grand dukes army will be able
to hold it's positions and perhaps drive
the invaders back.
While this is going on. it is believed
that there is little probability Of the Ger
mans detaching any part of the eastern
armies for a renewed offensive in the
west. and If such a move is made it must
be undertaken by fresh troops. There
is already heavy fighting at several
points in the west, notably in the Woevre
district. where the French have regained
some of the ground which they had lost
to the southeast of St. Mihiel and at Sou
chez. where the French have made
further advance toward the village. But
there is no evidence as yet of the ar
rival Of any new armies which Dutch re-
ports persistently repeat are being NOV
ed through Belgium.
The Austrians and Montenegrins have
resumed fighting and both sides claim
successes.

Duties Of Stockholders
The decision, which was written by
Chief Justice Rugg, said in part:
"A stakeholder before he can proceed
in his own name for redress of wrongs
done 70 the corporation must establish
that he has exhausted all available
means to obtain relief through the cor
poration itself unless the circumstances
excuse him from so doing.
1T is an implied condition of becom-
ing a stakeholder in a corporation that
its general policy shall be determined
by the holders of majority of the
stock and that disagreements as to its
dominating policy and as to details of its
management shall be settled by its stol X
holders and recourse cannot be had to
the courts to adjust difficulties of this
sort. 1t is only from actual necessity in
order to prevent a failure of justice that
a suit in equity for the benefit of the
corporation can be maintained by a
stockholder.''

that he would continue the suit. He said
the decision meant simply that he would

the opening. Take handful of the
solder hemmed caps. which come with
the cans, and place one on each of the
cans ready to be capped. Then have
close at hand the fux jar and the
small brush. Place the finger on the
vent hole in the cap, hold the cap In
place and run the brush covered with
fiux lightly around the solder and cap
evenly with one stroke or side stroke
Of the hand, being careful not to allow
any of the flux to enter the can. Do
this with all the cans ready to be cap

the fire. Insert In the center of the
handle of the Gaping iron the up
right wire or rod. This rod Is used to
hold the cap firmly In position while

iron, as 1t will force the heated solder
or lead out from under the cap. A
forward and backward stroke of the
Gaping iron if properly applied will
perfectly solder the cap in place.
Remove the Gaping iron and inspect

resolder or recap. Occasionally pin

broken or pinhole places Of the cap
Often when large number Of caps
are purchased few will be found to
have become jammed and the solder
rims detached. These solder rims are
good for soldering purposes, especially
for repair of pinholes.
To solder up the vent hole in the cap
the brush Is dipped lightly in the flux

low fiux cup to stand where little chill
dren can reach itJ, in which to keep
soldering f1ux, sal ammoniac, few
scraps of zinc muriatic acid, a soft
brick or a piece of soft limestone and
a small supply of soldering lead.
Soldering flux is solution of zinc
in crude muriatic acid and is used for
brushing the tin and solder surfaces so
the solder in its melting condition will
adhere to the tin.
To make the flux purchase at the
drug store about 10 cents worth Of
crude muriatic acid and place this in
porcelain. crockery or glass jar.
Such jar or cup is used rather than
Z metal, as the acid would usually at
tack or eat the metal. Add as much
sheet zinc in small pieces as the acid
will thoroughly dissolve. Before the

hours. Dilute with water, half and

The tipping copper or Gaping iron
should be cleaned Of smudge,s burned

be taken up this year in Arkansas
Oklahoma Texas, Oregon, Massachu
sets and possibly few other states.
Some of the points which the depart
ment advises the youthful hog grower
to bear In mind are the following:
important Points.
First.-The feeding and care are as
important as the breeding in producing
good hog. Plenty of feed and good
care may make good hog out of q
runt, but lack of them will always
make runt out of good pig.
SecOnd.-To make pork cheaply per
manent pasture and forage crops must
be used.
Third.-Young pigs must have dry
bed and plenty of sunshine
Fourth. Begin feeding the pig as
soon as he will eat and keep him grow
ing until he is mature.
Fifth.-Always keep plenty of clean
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
Sixth.-Quarantine all newly pur
chased animals for three weeks.
Seventh.-Never keep a female for
brood SOW, no matter how we'll bred
she may be, If she will not produce
more than four strong pigs at a litter.
Eighth.-The more milk SOW will
give the faster her pigs will grow.
Ninth.-Lice prevent a hog from do.
ing well.
Tenth.-Always keep mixture OF
charcoal, wood ashes, lime, sulphur,
salt and copperas before the hogs.

prepared by United States department
of agriculture
The state champion of the Oregon
boys and girls pig clubs last year was
Kenneth Bursell of Monmouth. whose
pig gained ninety-tye pounds at total
cost of $500. He bought the grade
Berkshire pig when it was three
months old, weighing tifty-eight
pounds, and fed it twice day, the
average amount of mixed feed given
daily being one and one-half gallons of
skimmilk, one and four-fifth pounds of
bran, one and three-quarter pounds
of shorts and four-fifths of q pound Of

Besides this feed the pig had access
to clover, grain and grass pasture. The

proved blood and the growing of forage
crops.
The idea also aims to encourage the
home curing Of meats and the growing
of forage crops while discouraging the
use of high priced feeds. The work OF
the boys pig clubs is planned to COM
plement the work Of the boys corn
clubs by showing the boys how they
can protitably sell their corn through
hogs.
The boys In these clubs learn how to
judge hogs and to select them for
breeding or market purposes. They
also learn practical ways In the man
agement, feeding. sanitation and pre-
vention of diseases of swine, all of
which information proves valuable
with respect to other forms of live
stock work.
Success Worth While.
A not unimportant detail Of the work
to the boys themselves is the money
which they are enabled to earn by mar
keting their product. They also come
to realize sooner or later that farm
life has its interesting side and that
success in the farming business is we'll
worth while
Any boy between the ages of ten and
eighteen may become member Of a
pig club. Each boy must secure at
least one pig IL he becomes a member
Each member must care for his stock
in person and keep record Of his pig
for at least four months IN order to
compete for prize.
Must Study.
The members Of the club must agree
to study the instructions which the de-
partment sends out for the benefit of
the hog raisers.
The bulletin outlines plan of Or

ing sample constitution and bylaws.
The work is conducted by the depart
ment in cooperation with the various
state colleges.

VII. - PIG CLUBS POPULAR
WITH THE CHILDREN.

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
"HE younger members of the
household on both northern and
southern farms are learning,
through the activity of 1900
pig club members the value of breed
ing and feeding good hogs. To date
these clubs, organized by the United
States department Of agriculture in
cooperation with state agricultural col
leges and local demonstration agents,
are located largely in the southern
states, the number of club members
being apportioned about as follows:

Undoubtedly there will be more clubs
this year than last, and the work may
