SPECIAL CARE OF gifts.

When prices for pork rose about Q
year ago many farmers took advan-
Uage of the condition and sold a good
portion Of their stock, including brood
sows. It is not likely that any such
Wholesale slaughter will occur this
year, because much interest has been
focused on the hog as an economical
means of utilizing wastes. There is
O sharp demand for weaned pigs by
small farmers, people Of rural COM
munities and suburbanites. To en-
courage pork production many boards
Of health have allowed the backyard
pig pen to return for the duration Of
the war, not, however, without some
restrictions.
It Is time now to separate the sows
intended to hold over for breeding
from the rest of the herd. Young
gifts intended for breeding stock will
make practically the same growth and
frame development from now on il
fed on limited grain ration. They
will not be in that fine condition de-
sired for market, yet they will be in
better condition for narrowing and
the cost of feeding will be reduced.
1t would be well to separate more
than is desired to winter, not only to
allow a further selection, but because
the growing demand for weaned pigs
end pork products will warrant breed
ing in greater number.

Supplies For Russia Held UP.

Washington, Nov. 21.-No ship
ments of supplies will be permitted to
70 from the United States to Russia
until the situation In that country
clears.
The American government before
allowing the export Of goods already
on the docks wants to know into
whose hands they will fall on their
arrival
The cessation of shipments is tenn
porary only if a stable government is
formed which the United States can
recognize. If the Rolsheviki gain con-
troll and pursue their program cling
for a peace with Germany TIE embar-
go will be permanent. A protracted
civil war also would work to keen the
embargo tight. as the United S ates
then would fer that supplies might
70 to the Bolshev:ki faction.
The provisional Russian government
was given credits amounting in al to
1926. 900 900, of which s191, 100000 al
ready has been advanced. Much OF
this money has been spent for sup
plies now awaiting shipment, md the
Russians have been given vessels for
Its transmission. Shipments will be
held up by denial of bunker coal to
Me ships.

LINER SANK A SUBMARINE

Siska Avenged Loss of Medic, by
Planting Shell in U-Boat.
Paris, Nov PA German srbma-
rine was destroyed when the French
steamship Medic, with a cargo of mu-
itions, was torpedoed in the western
Mediterranean, September %, with
loss of $50 lives.
This information is contained in a
despatch from Algiers to the Journal.
The passenger steamship Biskra
was proceeding with convoy OF
French and British steamships leading
the line. The Medic was torpedoed
without warning.
The submarine commander brought
lis boat slowly to the surface. The
Tiskra opened fire at a distance Of
Two miles. The second shot struck
the submarine forward and low. An
explosion followed. The submarines
s:ern shot up. The U-boat plunged to
obstruction before the Medic disap-
feared.

New Drive Is Forecast.

Copenhagen, Nov. 21.-Reports from

ne German government is making
heavy transfers of troops from the
j+ussian front. i
Only part of them appear to be 60

: arrow to permit of the use Of great
masses. A blow by Won Hindenburg
at some other point, in the way of a
diversion, may perhaps be expected.
