NEGRO PREACHERS HELD
Loyal Members Of Race Accuse
Them As German PIotters.

DOTHAN, Ala. April 9.-Two negro
incite members Of their race TO rise
against the white population and help
Germany. have been arrested near Ash
ford on charges OF treason. They we're
rushed to the Houston county Jail here.
where they are held under close guard.
Loyal negroes caused the arrests.
Sheriff John May. with a posse OF
deputies aRd citizens. today is searching
the surrounding country for a German
supposed to be a confederate OF the
prisoners.
Today a report was received from
Leary, Ga. thirty miles away. that a
man answering the general description
of the German had been arrested there
when attempting to destroy a long
wooden trestle on the Central of Georgia
railroad over Notchaway creek. This

Moriarity. but the Georgia officials as
sert he has a German accent The
local search has not been abated.
One OF the negro prisoners is William
Ross. OF Houston county. The other
said he was Sheppard Mckinney, of
Pennsylvania. Their arrest was the re-
suit Of information given to Charles
Yon. the town marshal OF Ashford, by
negroes among whom the prisoners
were said to have been working.
This is not the FIRST time suspicious
activities among their race have been
reported by negroes. whose leaders have
been largely instrumental in defeating
the ends OF the German intriguers.
Marshal Yon's investigation revealed
that a series OF revival meetings con-
Quoted by Ross and Mckinney were
made the occasions for attacks against
the United States. The German empire
was eulogized as the negro's one friend
among the Nations and II was asserted
that the surest way for the colored mar
to achieve his aspirations was to aid
Germany by handicapping the United
States in the war. Ross Is said to have
preached while Mckinney circulated
among the congregation urging diSloy'
atty.
The two negroes were seen severa
times in the company OF the German
supposed to have been their adviser
The German. however. remained aloo
from the meetings. The three are SAID
to have been in New Jersey recently
going from there to Georgia and cross

Importation OF hrst-cass breeding
animals improves the stock OF any
country and tends towards uniformity,
according to Il. N. Wentworth, profes
sor of animal breeding In the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
uniformity in any breed is obtained
by an interchange of animals between
different sections OF the world" said
Professor Wentworth. Argentina now
buys some Shorthorns from the United
States instead Of buying her entire
supply from England, so as to keep
her Improved stock equal 10 that of
this country. The Introduction OF high
class imported animals into any herd
brings in fresh trnits which will often
improve the character of the animals
produced.
Reqains Lost characteristics.
characteristics which have been
lost as a result of a change of loca-
ton or modified methods OF selection
will be reguinej In many cases by the
introduction of animals from the origl-
nal home of the breed. The first Ayr
shires that were imported into the
United States were fair dairy animals,
but since selection for high production
was not rigidly applied, their offspring
did not progress so rapidly as other
breeds until importation from Ayr
shire assumed reasonable proportions.
Now the best Ayrshire butterfat record
rivals that OF the Jersey"
From the advertising standpoint the
importation of purebred animals is
advantageous, believes Professor Went

ported animals as superior to home

ATTENTION TO FEET
OF GROWING COLTS
little Care Will Prevent Develop
ment Of Crooked Ankles and
Unbalanced Action.

By w. L. BLIZZARD, Department OF
Animal Husbandry. oklahoma A. and
M. College. Stillwater)
1t is well to see that the colts feet
are level and the toes comparatively
short. A little attention will prevent
the development of crooked ankles and
unbalanced action later on. The bony
structure is pliable then, so that much
can be done to remedy faulty action,
which will be impossible after the
bones have hardened and stopped
growing.
1t Is absolutely necessary and very
profitable TO properly care for the feet
of growing colts. If left TO nature,
the foot does not always grow out full
and strong and of the proper shape.
When the feet are left go, they do not
wear properly, the result is that the
feet split, become uneven and very
often the entire leg may be altered in
form. This is one of the reasons for
SO many bad-footed horses upon the
streets of any city. The blacksmith
may get the blame, but most of the
trouble really began upon the farm.
To grow feet in the proper way, the
colts feet should be looked after at
least once a month.

FEEDING LAMBS TO
SECURE BEST GAINS
Result of Experiment Conducted
at South Dakota Station--A-
falfa Hay Best.

(By PROF. JAMES w. WILSON. south
Dakota Experiment Statlon.)
The best gains ever secured ct the
South Dakota experiment station in
feeding lambs was In an experiment
to determine the comparative value OF
alfalfa and prairie hay with the same
kind of grain ration. The grim ra-
tion consisted Of mixture OF 100
pounds of oats, 100 pounds Of shelled
corn and 25 pounds of ollmeaL
Each lot was started on one pound
per head OF the mixture daily, and In
creased until they were receiving twr
and two-tenths pounds per head ol
grain daily, and what hay they would
eat.
The average daily gain per head for
the lot that received the alfalfa hay
was 81 OF pound, while with the lot
that received the prairie hay, the av-
erage daily gain per head was .3S Of
n pound. These lambs were as near
the same in age and weight as wSs
possible to get them.
