Good Type of Brood Sow.

In selecting a brood SOW, form Is
first to be considered. The body
should be finely built, vigorous, long
with heavy quarters, fiat back, short
snout, ears and limbs. The neck
should not be too short. She should
be vigorous feeder, with great ca
pacity, because an Indifferent feeder
will starve her pigs. A SOW whose lit
ters range less than eight to twelve
pigs each is a failure.

account of difficulties that foreign car

Placed in Precarious Position by the Fall of

LONDON, Sept. 20. - The Russian
army, menaced since the fall Of Wilma
by the German cncirclina movement, is
estimated variously at 25o,ooo to 5oo,-
900 men.
The conditions under which the Rus

those which followed the capture of
Warsaw.
They may prccipitate one Of the
greatest, if not the greatest, battle
which has been fought on the eastern
front.
Although no official confirmation has
been received in London from Pctro-
grad this morning of the fall of Wilma,
thc british press has accepted the Ger
man claim readily, in view Of the sit
uation that has been developing.
Concern is expressed for the retiring
