FEAR ATTACKS WHEN

Washington, June THE Silver
shell is the steamer referred to in
yesterdays state department an
nouncement as having sunk a German
submarine after an exchange of 60
shots in a running fight of an hour
and a half.
The state department did not an
nounce the name of the steamer be-
cause it has been this governments
policy not to disclose the names OF
ships having engagements with sub
marines because officials feel 1t marks
them for further attack, as they be-
lieve was the case with the Mongolia.
That vessel, after having once been
identified with a submarine encoun-
ter. has repeatedly been attacked as
if the submarine fleet had set about
especially to destroy the vessel.

WATER FOR HOGS IN SUMMER
Muddy and Filthy WaIlow-HoIes Are
Often Means Of Spreading Con-
taQious Diseases.

Hogs should have access to plenty
Of water during the hot summer
months, but the muddy and filthy wal
low-holes that are 80 common over
the country are often the means Of
spreading contagious diseases, espe-
cially cholera.
Farmers are encouraged to con-
struct wooden or concrete wallows for
their pigs, apd to keep them in rea-
sonably clean condition. A boarded
up wallow is very satisfactory. but a
better way is to dig shallow hole,
big enough for the pigs to lie In, and
to use concrete for the sides and bot
tom, plastering right onto the earth.
1t Is a good plan, also, to put In d
drain so that the water may be read
lily changed.
In addition to making the hogs
more comfortable these wallows can
be used as a means Of Kidding them
Of lice and feas. To do this, cover
the surface Of the water with about
half an inch Of crude oil. When the
pigs go into the water they will be-
come covered with the oil and the
vermin will be killed.
