Grant Cattle Starving.

Baker-Because of the lack Of feed,
caused by the early winter, many cat
tie are reported to have died in the
Hamilton country in Grant county and
ranchers expect that many more will
be lost before relief is found. The hay
crop in that vicinity was short this
season and when the bad weather made
feeding impossible. The condition has
so affected the cattle market that the
prices are dropping, milch cows being
offered for as low as $40 a head. Cat
tlemen in other parts of this district
also are having trouble in feeding.

launch general criticism of the meas
ures for the regulation Of the food sup
ply, on which the government has
promised to submit a memorandum to
the reichstag, and that certain ele-
ments, notably the radical wing Of the
Socialists, will insist on bringing into
the discussion the ultimate aims of the
war and the terms on which Germany
could profitably make peace.
Whether Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg will be drawn by this discus
sion into statement more or less def
mite on the subject is uncertain.
A newspaper statement coming from
Major Ernest Bassermann, one Of the
parliamentary leaders, who has been
in preliminary conferences with tho
chancellor, asserts that the chancellor
will deliver an important speech on
the foreign and internal policies and
food supply question.
1t is anticipated that the chancellor
probably will make speech--probably
two-but it seems uncertain whether
he will touch at all on the delicate sub
ject Of the German peace program.

KAISER PAYS VISIT
To POLISH CITY
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, March 23.-Interesting let
tiers are appearing in the German
newspapers describing a recent visit
of the German emperor to Lodz. 1t is
the first time since 1856 that a Hohen.
zolhern has entered Russia as an
enemy
The populace of Lodz was kept alb
solutely in the dark regarding the
visit. The main street, the Petrikovka,
now called the Friedrich Strasse, was
closed to traffic, and residents were
not permitted to open their windows
or stand at their doors. The long
street swarmed with soldiers and po-
lice Orders were given for the ring
ing of all the church bells.
The emperor and his immediate
suite drove through the long street
to a Polish castle in the suburbs. A
German correspondent who was pres
ent at the official dinner of welcome
states that the Emperor was in ex-
cellent health.
"At first sight" writes the reported,
81 thought that the emperor mad aged
terribly, but on closer inspection dis
covered that it was a grey muffler
which he wore round his head that
gave him the appearance of age. Fur
rows there were on his face, craven
deeply by the experiences of the last
seven months, and there was a stern
ness about his eye which is new and
a sadness in his voice that was absent
in the old days. hEjg
"Infthe afternoon there was rslig-
ious service, the preacher taking as
his, text: The horse is prepared
against the day of battle, but safety
is in the Lord The emperor made a
brief address to the troops in the
open air, but the words could be heard
by only a few, as strong icy wind
was blowing from the north The en-
peror later reviewed his officers, who
greeted him enthusiastically.

The regulation further prohibits the

are accordingly appealing for insect
powders and other protective prepar-
ations; and the mails have been sc
flooded with these that the postoffice
has had to issue orders excluding all
mercury preparations from the mails.
Fortunately the soldiers are able to
see the humorous side of the matter,
as is shown by the names that they
have adopted for the different classes
of insects. Some are called infantry,
others cavalry" Still another name
for the latter is the black hussars."
The Cologne Gazette soberly suggests
that the soldiers adopt the practice of
the Arabs, that Of keeping their heads
shaver, "in order to leave no room for
death in the din and dust of trade"

Americas fans have an opportunity

It's up to every LOYAL fan and citi-

Extension Service.

The popular and high priced Guern-
sey COW was developed on the Island
of Guernsey, in the English Channel;
but dairying is only a side issue with
the Guernseyman. He grows fine fruit
and flowers for the London market.
Live stock was needed to consume
rough feed and make manure and
humus, so high class animal was de.
FelOped-one that made both manure
and butterfat at a profit.
Live stock is the back bone of the
richest agricultural countries in the
world In Holland-the home of the
Holstein cowland is worth $4,000 to
100000 per acre. The annual rental
is $4,000 per acre and up, yet most of
the land is devoted to grass crops for
the COW. Only little grain is grown.
The hay crops are supplemented with
oil cake from Amoiica.
