WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative CreamerieS Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows a great in
crease In the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed SO carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. In
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO, 444 lbs.
and it brought an average price of 23c
per h.; of creamery butter 5,S39,667
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 1852 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as $2,76069S, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $925,659
and the cream at $15S, 1927, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lib. and Of sweet cream at 32c
per lib. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 190,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631,OO5, which is an in
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons a rate Of 271sc per
lib. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers SCI, III and manu-
featured 256,OO0 lbs. butter and $4,000
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 1925, 900 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found market In all
parts Of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.

$4,000, 600 a Day.


The war is now costing all belliger-
ents more than $11O,OO0,0O0 day. This
is divided among the principal nations
as follows: Great Britain, $30,0O0,0OO
(official figures)-; France, $17,OOO,OOC ;
Russia, $19,O00,OO0; Italy, $S,50O,O0O ;
Germany, $23000,0e0 and Austro-Hun-
gary, $12,OO0,0OO, the lesser powers
making up the balance.
Great Britain is the only power
which is paying part of the capital cost
of the war out of current income. Ger
many is compromising her debt by not
taking in taxes enough to cover all her
interest charges.
The financial situation of both sides
is fairly good. The same cannot be
said for the economic situation. Ger
many and her allies are plainly in dis
tress in many ways. Few or none have
died of actual hunger, but the vitality
of many noncombatants is lowered by
lack of proper food. There is great
scarcity of rubber, copper, high grade
iron, material for warm clothing and
an almost absolute lack of strictly ex-
otto products, such as tea, coffee and
cocoa.
In Great Britain the common people
have never been SO prosperous. The
cost of living has advanced by more
than half, but wages have increased
still more and the demand for labor,
both by the government and by private
enterprises is Unsuitable.
Neutrals Wax Fat.
France, too, has largely recovered
from the financial shock, though &C.
tivity is not on such a great scale as In
England. In Russia private business liz
not good, but owing to the suppression
of vodka, the mujik, is happier today
and is saving several times as much
money as ever before.
Italy is suffering from a dearth Of
coal, which has closed most of her fac
tories.
Some Of the neutral countries of Eu-
rope, especially Denmark, Sweden and
Norway are becoming opulent from war
business. In Holland the upper classes
have made money, while there have
recently been food riots by the lower
classes.
Switzerland is harassed continually
by both sides to the quarrel, Germany
demanding to be allowed to purchase
and export goods freely from Swiss
towns and the allies threatening to
withhold food and other supplies If
Germany is provisioned by her noun
tain neighbor.
Japan, the United States, Cuba and
some of the South American countries
were never so prosperous before in
their history, due to the stimulus of
war orders, which has galvanized do
nestle business as well.

GERMANS Lose THE INITIATIVE
IN SECOND YEAR OF GREAT WAR
Operation Among the Entente Allies Brings Sweeping Change
Over the Aspect of Military Afars-TWo Largest En-
pires of Earth Russia and Great Britain, at
Last Fully Organized Second Years
Campaigns Reviewed.

New YOrk.-Germany is on the" de-
fensive. The initiative has passed to
the entente allies. This is the one
great. outstanding fact of the second
year of the great war.
Before, she aimed a blow where sne
pleased and the allies parrled 1t as
best they might. She seized most OF
Belgium and seventh Of France.
Twice she overwhelmed the Russians
who had penetrated East Prussia.
She smashed her way far into the
czar's dominions and crushed Serbia
and Montenegro. She directed a fear
full battering-ram of shells and hui
man bodies on Verdun.
But with the present summer a
sweeping change came over the as
pect Of military affairs.
Cooperating through the allies war
council with Gen. Joseph Joffre at It's
head. the Italians beat back the Aus
TRAN columns in the Trentino, the
Russians drove the Teutons before
them in the East with horrible de-
struction and the British and French
began a slow and methOdical bending
of the long established lines in the
West.
At Last Fully Organized.
These are the movements which are
still going on as the war enters its
third, and according to Lord Kitch-
ener's Delphic prediction, final year.
Whether the kaiser will retrieve him
self. again seize the initiative and en-
ter on new campaigns of conquest
cannot be foretold. One thing is GER
tain, the two largest empires of the
earth, Russia and Great Britain, are
at last fully organized for war
against him.
On the first anniversary Of the war,
August 1, 1915, the Austro-Germa1f
sweep of Poland was in full swing.
Lublin fell that day; Cholm, August

War Costs Fifty-Five Billion.
On August 1, the second anniversary
of the start of the great war. the d.
rect money cost to all the belligerents
reached $55,000,000,000.
This is the consensus of financial
opinion here. Estimates six months
ago were slightly lower, but the daily
cost has mounted steadily and the
figures given are considered conserva-
tive.
The direct cost does not include the
losses by destruction of property, by
the disorganization of civilian indus
try, by the death and crippling Of
workers and by enervating human
sickness and misery.
The money spent is apportioned APP

been only against one enemy, and
