dominating heights. Our adversaries
have been comparatively quiet, except for
intermittent cannonades and a few vain
attacks. On June Is an attack of un-
usual severity, which had been preceded
by a brisk bombardment, was begun near
Passo di Sesis, on the Carnia frontier,
in the Vicinity of Monte Vasta. The fight
ing was very violent. lasting far into the
night. On the following day the Aus
trians delivered counter-attacks, all of
which were repulsed with the bayonet.
Long distance artillery duels are in
progress in the zone OF Monte Nero and
along the valley Of the upper Isonzo.

Alaskan Timber.

In accordance with the recent act of congress, the wood needed in build ing the government railway in Alaska, from Seward. on the Pacific All miles to Fairbanks, in the interior, will be taken free of charge from the Gnu zach national forest. The forest serv- ice has issued a permit to the Alas kan engineering commission to cut S5,000,000 feet of timber in designated areas along the right of way of the new railway, which will run for sev- eral miles through the Chugach na- tional forest Forest service em- ployees are now marking the timber to be cut-only mature trees, the re- moval of which will improve the for est That will be the largest quantity of timber ever felled in the Alaskan forests as a part of one undertaking. It will be nearly twice as large as the total quantity of timber now cut in the national forests and annually put to local uses throughout Alaska, but only a little more than one-tenth of the es- timated annual growth of the Alaskan forests The two national forests of Alaska contain about 7S,000, ,000,0 900 feet of merchantable timber and the forest service estimates that more than S0O000,000 feet could be cut ev- cry year forever without lessening their roductivity-Youth's Compan- ion

PROPER FEEDS FOR
 HAPPENING SWINE
Much Material May Be Gathered Up in Fall in Orchard, Gar
 den and Elsewhere.

Flesh and fat are now made at half the cost of grain when the weather is cold and wet Much food may now be gathered up in the orchard, garden and field, which costs little, and would otherwise be wasted
 Boil the wheat screenings from the threshing machine with small potatoes and mix with wheat bran; feed luke warm to the shoats. After the slop is they will eat up clean. Experienced feeders say that better quality of meat and at the least cost may be had when old corn is the main grain fed the last fattening month. Pork made with soft corn is not cheaply made Keep the soft corn and nubbins for the store shoats.
 Corn fed to growing shoats in con nection with grass and clover will make a better gain in proportion than if either is fed alone. While slops are q good feed. they should never be all lowed to become too sour before feed ing. An important item is to have a dry shelter for the hogs and a clean dry yard.
 Another important matter is plenty of pure water wood ashes and corn cob charcoal.
 Shoats grazed during the summer in clover and given a moderate amount of bran and middlings made into slop. fed slightly sour. and given a liberal allowance of old corn and pure water one month before butch ering will make the choicest kind of family meat and lard. The meat will be firm, not over-fat, sweet and fine grained, the fat making the best of lard

CHARACTER TOLD BY HAND
Expert CriminoIogists Have by Direct Tests Proved Their Theories to
 Be Correct.

A French savant contends that the murderer has distinctive hand. His face may not be hideous, but the hands always are, and selfcondemnatory Evidence on the latter characteristic is scanty, and rests upon the inves- tigations of the French criminolo- gists; but as to the former it is fact that some of the most brutal mur- ders on record have been perpetrated by men whose countenances habitu- ally wore a very mild expression. Deeming was a pleasant man to speak to until crossed; but some of the authorities who examined his hands declare his broad thumb indicated the born murderer. The true ball-headed thumb gives to the first phalange a round, bulbous appearance. It is short, and the nail is so abbreviated as to suggest that it has been gnawed. It is embedded in the flesh, which rises on either side and beyond it. Dumollard wholesale murderer, had a hand remarkable for it's thickness and length of palm in proportion to tHe uuSeTS. ne Hdu SlSuliCdlIt sign, common to most murderers- namely, the almost entire absence of lines in the palm, save the three prin- cipal-the lines of life, head and heart. These lines were very strong ly defined. The line of the head-the center line extending across the palm was violently cut by the line of life running upward from the wrist. Chiro- nancy interprets this to foretell a violent death. His fingers were knotty and uneven at the nail pha- langes. To sum up, the signs of the murderer's hand are: Firstly, the
 pouce en bille." Secondly, and only less important, the thickness of the Mount of Mars at the edge of the hand, from which flows the blood di- rect to the brain at the slightest mo- tion, and causes the man to see red Thirdly, the scaffold sign in the sev- erance of the line of the head Fourthly, the presence only in the casionally reduced to two, and al- most always of bright scarlet. Fifth ly, crooked fingers with spatulate tips, the nails small and uneven. Ac- cording to the rules of art, therefore, a murderer, if murderer by dispoei- tion. and not (as in most cases) by accident, ought to have hand with all, or nearly all, these characteris' tics

BUILDINGS FOR LIVE STOCK
Proper Ventilation Is Often Neglected and Animals Suffer in.consequence
 Let in Sunlight.

Stock barns should be thoroughly ventilated, whether for hogs, cattle, horses or sheep. It is just as detri- mental to an animal to breathe im- pure air as it is for human being. A system of ventilation is inexpen- sive and it's results are remarkable.
 The buildings should be kept clean and disinfected often enough to insure destruction of poisonous germs. Floors in hog pens, cattle barns, etc. should not be made of boards, for such floors are full of cracks and knot holes, which, with the space un- derneath them, afford a favorable place for the accumulation of fetid matter.
 If hogs have cholera in board floor pen, and the floor and the ac- emulation is not taken out and the building thoroughly disinfected, hogs placed in the same pen years after ward are liable to contract the dis ease from latent germs in the filth. Sunshine being the best disinfectant, movable hog houses and pens are al- ways best.

Pan-America's Vast Area.

The combined area of Pan-America, exclusive of Canada, is 12.000.000 square miles, of which the Latin American countries occupy appro.xi- mate'y 9,00000 and the United States 3,000,000, This physical extent of Pan- America is better realized when it is compared with that of Europe. which has 3,750,000 square miles; with Al rica. which has 11,500,000, and with Asia which has 100000. writer in the North American Review says.
 Remembering that commerce is of ten described as the life blood of na- tions," the Pan-American family cer- tairly can be classed as lusty and full blooded, for in the last normal year before the war-1913-Pan-America's foreign trade. including both imports and experts. was valued at $7,000, ,000.- 900, of which the share of the United States was about $4,200,000,000 and of the Latin-American countries $2,- S0o,0O0,000

PUSHING SWINE FROM START
Interesting Data Gathered by Dean of Wisconsin Station - Keep All
 Young Animals Growing.

Young animals make more pounds of gain from their food than when old CT. Dean Henry of Wisconsin gath cred lot of data on this, and found that 3S-pound pigs required 293 pounds of feed to make 100 pounds of gain, 7S-pound pigs required 400 pounds of feed, 12S-pound hogs, 437 pounds of feed; 174-pound pigs, 482 pounds; 226-pound pigs, 49S pounds; 271-pound pigs, 511 pounds, and for the 330pound hogs 1t took 535 pounds of food to make the 100 pounds of gain, or nearly twice as much as the 3S-pound pig. This emphasizes the im- portance of pushing the hogs from the start in order to make the most eco nomical gains.
 It has been found at the North Dakota experiment station that April pigs can be made to weigh 200 to 25O pounds by November 1.
