The burgomaster of Berlin and the
Prussian food controller are comforting
on the situation, and 1t is reported
that the rations Of meat and vegeta-
bles will soon be increased.
In the face of these reported prom
ises, however, dispatches from neutral
sources continue to paint the picture
of real conditions in Germany blacker
and blacker.
Labor Riots Increasing.
A telegram to the Express says:
"A neutral diplomat who has Just
arrived at Geneva says that within
six weeks Germany will be without
wheat and spuds and the government
will have to face a famished popula-
ton"
There has been an increase in the
labor and bread riots in Germany in
the past "a hours and in the peace de-
Si,ss1lds.
AT some points there have been Sc
rious clashes between the strikers and
the police. Socialists are taking adj
vantage Of the industrial unrest to
press their demands for constitutional
reforms.

SWELL PRODUCTION OF HERD
Only Practical Way to Make improve
nent Is by Raising HeIfer Calves
From Best Cows.

When the milk is sold for market
milk, or to cheese factory, or a
milk condensery, the problem is how
to raise calves without the feed cost
ing more than the value Of the animal
raised. At the same time 1t is most
serious mistake under these circum-
stances to depend upon buying cows
rather than raising calves. The only
practical way to improve the produc-
ton Of the herd is by raising heifer
calves from the best cows.
