Today's meeting brought together for the first time for formal confer ences the British and American mili- tary officials, and there was pre- liminary study of the whole general situation under the five heads of in telligence work, munitions, material, hospital and the expeditionary force question. Five joint committees were appointed to work out series of recommendations on these subjects.
 At the meeting the officials sum marized the results of the individual conferences held daily since the Brit ish mission arrived and laid the groundwork for general discussions of all phases of military cooperation.

Washington. Dec The execu-
ton Of Private Frank Cadue Of The in
fantry for the outfape and murder Of
a 7-year-old girl in France on Nov. 5
has been approved by the war de-
pariment. Cadue was hanged after
sentence by a military court martial.
The war department considers that
military law has been complied with
in every respect
This is the first crime requiring
capital punishment since the Ameri-
cans went over seas. Hanging is re-
garded as the punishment in keeping
with a disgraceful crime. The honor
of shooting is supposed to be given to
all but rapists, spies and deserters.

ATTENTION TO HOGS IN FALL

Hogs are not as resistant to disease
In the fall as they are In the spring
when getting an abundance of green
forage, and having access to a wide
range. II is necessary. therefore, to
give them more attention and better
care TO offset seasonal conditions and
danger from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot, or on
the same acre Of ground, day after
day. This communicates the feeding
places. and also attracts crows. pig
cons, and sparrOws which may have
been feeding with cholera infected
herd. Throw the feed out in differ
ent spot each day, thus giving the
pigs a clean plate" from which to
eat.
The water supply is Of much I'M
portance to the health Of the hogs Mt
this time of year. Old mud wallows
are never good, but are not so bad IL
the hogs can have pure water TO
drink, but If forced to battle and drink
in the same stub" serious trouble can
be expected at any time. See that
they have an abundance Of pure water
to drink, situated near the wallow
holes or feeding places. Pure water
will aid materially in keeping the
herd cholera free.

MAKING PROFIT FROM SWINE

lightly for a few days after farrow,

The ration for the SOW at this time
should be one which will produce a
heavy flow of milk. A good ration for
this purpose is one composed of corn,
shorts, bran, a small amount of tank

from a rack. Bran may make up 10

so that the operators may handle the
sheep conveniently. AT the time Of
dipping it is desirable to have a chute
of permanent or temporary cOnstruc-
ton. This provides a means Of plac-
ing the sheep in the vat one at a
time. At the outgoing end the vat has
an angle of 45 degrees provided with
cleats, or notches, which give the
sheep a foothOld when leaving the
vat. A sloping platform, also pro-
vided with cleats, should be construct
ed at the end, from which the sheep
leave the vat; this allows the solution
to drain off the animals and return to
the vat.

churches stands for all these and
more, and must not be neglected This
