Nothing is better than milk on which

whether they are Intended for the
dairy the feed lot or the show ring.
The ordinary farmer often finds milk
too expensive as a calf feed, The fol-
lowing substitute is recommended by
the Massachusetts Experiment sta
ton: Twenty two pounds ground
oats, ten pounds linSeed meal, five
pounds middlings. IL pounds fine corn
meal Il pounds fine blood meal, one
half pound salt. Total cost, three cents
a pound.
Prepare by adding one-half pound
of meal to two quarts of boiling water
for each feed. At each feeding moisten
the meal first with a little cold water
to prevent it forming Jumps, ana then
pour on the boiling water, and stir
well. When this is cooled down To
the temperature of milk fresh drawn
from the COW it is ready to feed.
II Is better to let the calf have whole
milk for about. a week, then gradually
Introduce a little of the milk substi-
tute for ten days or two weeks, when
you can cut out the milk entirely.
AS soon as the calf win eat. let 1t
have hay and little of the meal dry,

Collision at Southern Boule-

REFUSE TO BLOCK

Chiefs Say Railways Are
Able to Move All That
Can Be Cared For Here

Replying to the demands of the heads
Of Western chambers of commerce that
grain be moved more rapidly from those
centres, f. p. Underwood, president OF
the Erie, said yesterday that the roads
were able to move all the grain that
could be possibly taken care Of at TINS
end of the line. He added:
"The lines between Chicago and New
York arc interested in keeping clear
and ready to dispatch business
In answer to the statement Of Presl-
dent Griffin. of the Chicago Board OF
Trade. that "riot and anarchy" would
result unless more cars were sent TO
Chicago to handle grain, Mr.. Under
wood declared that the railroads do not
intend to block the lines with grain
"for which there is neither storage,
shining directions or ships to carry
it."
"a car of grain is given exactly the
same movement as a car OF perlshapie
freight" one of his kilograms to Mr..
Griffin read. Goal westbound is gwen

In reply to an appeal from Charles

| Chamber Of Commerce, who said that

statements, T. B. Thomas, president OF

! egram telling him the gravity of the

concerned, was greatly exaggerated.

Church, in Jersey City, that the rail

Carloads on Sidings for
Weeks in Riverhead
and Other Centres
SUPPLY OF BUTTER
FAR EXCEEDS 1916
Cold Storage in MetrOpOl-
itan Area Has Gain of
100000 Pounds

District Attorney Swami began an
investigation into the food situation
yesterday. He was told that cars load
ed with potatoes had been held for
many days in the yards of big potato
centres. including Riverhead, Long ISL
and. He also learned that there were
100000 pounds more of butter in cold

SHIPPING BOARD
PLANS FOR RELIEF
Wants President to Put
Vessels in Canal Trade
to Relieve Cars

Washington, Feb. 23.-The soaring
cost of foodstufFs throughout the coun-
try to-day engaged the attention of
virtually every governmental agency
with even a remote relation to the
problem.
President Wilson and the Cabinet
discussed the situation, its cause and
possible remedies. Views held by
some of the conferrees were that the
record prices were interviewed with
the general car shortage and congestion
on transportation lines, and indirectly
affected by the German submarine war
fare, which has resulted in vast ac-
cumulations of freight and resultant
car congestion at Eastern seaports.
Department of Justice agents re-
sumed with new energy their lnvesti.
cation TO determine il there is an actual
shortage of foodstuffs at large cities
where rioting has recently occurred.
Attorney General Gregory announced
that measures which may be of Con
siderable avail" toward lettering that
situation probably would be announced
shortly.
Car Situation Improving
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. through its field force, kept close
watch on the railroads efforts to un-
ravel the car congestion tangle, and
announced that the task Of restoring
conditions to normal was progressing
satisfactorily.
The car service commission of the
American Railway Association dis
claimed all responsibility on behalf OF
the roads for contributing 10 the rise
through failure to furnish Transports
ton facilities, and announced that at
no time had any complaint been re-
ceived which would indicate that there
was a shortage of food anywhere IN
the country.
The newly created Shipping Board
submitted to the President plan Tor
relief by placing American vessels. IN
the coast forecast trade. thus releasing
freight cars required for transconti-
mental traffic. A large merchant ma"
rine. which could be used for this duty
sailing by way of the Panama Canal,
would be available on the passage by
Congress of amendments TO the ship
ping bill now pending.
Bill Authorizes Food Seizure
In Congress, Senator Lewis intro
duced an amendment to the revenue
bill authorizing the President TO seize
any foodstuffs which he may believe to
be held by monopoly or for IAN un-
Jus. increase in price," and dispose OF
them through public sale at prices to
be fixed by the department authorized
to conduct the sale. Senator MARITIME
introduced bill which would empower
the President to declare an embargo
on export Of foodstuffs.

Higgins, Ex-Offcer, Wins
Writ for Review of
Court Martial
CONLEY AND DYER
ACCUSED IN CASE
Charges of Persecution
Are Made by Militiaman
in Court Fight

Thaddeus Higgins, who was dis
missed after court-martial from first
lieutenancy in the 69th Regiment, OBJ
tanned a writ of certiorari yesterday
from Justice Greenbaum in the Su-
preme Court in an effort to have the
Appellate Division review his case. He
asserted that Colonel Louis d. Conley
tried to force him out without court
martial by assigning extraordinary and
arduous tasks to him. He charged that
Brigadier General Dyer aided this eff
fort.
When the court-martial trial finally
was held, he said, he was not appraised
of its findings and was unable to make
his application to the courts within the
statutory period of four months.
Anthony J.. Griffin, counsel for the
ex-Guardsman, succinctly referred to
the military proceedings against him,
with the findings, which were approved
by Governor Whitman, as "frame-up."
The Attorney General made application
to have the writ dismissed.
Higgins was made first lieutenant
in October, 1915, and was placed IN
command of Company +. Within
month the order placing him in COM
mand was rescinded. and First Lieuten-
ant Alexander E. Anderson was placed
in command. :,
Charges Of disobedience were made
against Higgins for failure to prepare
a muster roll. He was also charged
with characterization for making
charges against Colonel Conley. Hlg-
gins said that Colonel Conley had for
gotten his own order detailing him on
special duty at regimental headquar-
tiers. The colonel told him not TO touch
any of the private correspondence,
whereby he eliminated wilful and
absolute disrespect, endeavorlng to
vilify my personal character and in
tegrity" Higgins quoted him in his pc
tition yesterday as saying: If you do
not leave this regiment / will and can
give you work that you will not like TO
do. and you will be obliged to get out"
He also alleged that General Dyer
told him that Colonel Conley could
give him certain work which he would
not be able 20 do.
The charges against Higgins, accord
ing to Mr.. Griffin, were based on an
order given to him to prepare the mus
ter roll for the annual regimental in
spection by February %, 19l6-a duty
usually assigned to the first sergeant.
Higqins's counsel asserted that his
client prepared to do the work on Feb
ruary % and discovered that 1t had
been done by another officer. As the
time limit had not expired, Mr.. Griffin
was confident that Higgins's conviction
for disobedience of orders was unjust.
From 1886 to 1897 Higgins was with
the 9Th Cavalry, L. S. A., rising to the
rank Of sergeant major. He served
with distinction with the Rough Riders
during the Cuban campaign. Higgins
lives at l06 Convent Avenue.
