Five stock with less expensive feed and
greater profit to the producers has re-
ceived considerable attention In nearly
all counties. During 1917 the agents
IN the Northern and Western states
assisted In the organization Of $50 live
stock breeders associations to encour-
age the use Of better slres, and 1872
contrasting associations to eliminate
Improbable cows and bring about
more economical feeding. Through
these associations and those organ.
lied with the assistance Of agents In
previous years. 127, 1876 cows were I'M
der test, resulting In at least 8,724
cows being discarded as Improbable.
Primarily through these organizations
10,986 farmers were Induced to adopt
balanced rations for their herds. and
the following number Of head Of regis
tered stock were secured at suggestion
Of agents: Bulls, 1926; cows, 1896;
rams, 1,469, and boars, 1914. The
agent also brought about the transfer
to other herds of 1870 valuable regis
tered slres by means Of information
given to individual farmers or through
exchange lists published by the farm
bureaus.
In order to increase the production
Of live stock In the Northern and
Western states to meet the war needs,
farmers were encouraged by personal
conferences, at meetings, and through
circular letters and newspaper articles
to raise more live stock, resulting in
more than 10000 additional head Of
cattle, more than 100000 additional
hogs. and 1921 sheep being raised
or placed on farms. In some states
special effort was made to save
calves from being slaughtered for veal,
resulting In 10,499 additional calves
being raised. This work was carried
on most extensively in Wisconsin,
from which 2,459 head of calves from
high-grade or registered stock were
shipped for breeding stock to Missouri,
Wyoming and other Western and
Southern states, due to this campaign.
Aid In Control of Diseases.
The control of livestock diseases
was considered fully as important as
growing more live stock, and the
agents in the Northern and Western
states were instrumental In having
36,392 animals, principally cows, test
ed for tuberculosis; 197,508 animals
were vaccinated for blackleg, and 1885,
S66 hogs were vaccinated for cholera
by farmers or veterinarians at the sug-
gestion Of agents, or by agents, for
the purpose of demonstrating methods.
There are 1864 counties in the 80
Northern and Western states, and Of
these 1,162 counties, or SO per cent OF
the entire number, had regularly or
ganized club work during the year.
There were 4376 members of poultry
clubs, who managed 29.541 fowls.
Matched 106.358 chicks, and produced
$3.50 dozen eggs. The pig clubs had
q membership Of 1882 boys and girls,
who managed 1883 animals, produc-
ing 1,797, 196 pounds Of pork.

Illumination or chewing the cud is a
natural process In connection with the
digestion OF cattle and other ruminant
animals. In ruminants the food when
first taken into the stomach Is Inn
perfectly chewed. and is returned to
the mouth for remastication. This re-
turned ball Of food Is termed "the
cud."
So called loss Of cud, the department
explains, is simply a suspension Of
chewing. frequently one Of the first
indications OF sickness In any kind Of
ruminant animals, since ruminants
generally stop chewing the cud when
feeling out Of condition. Any condi-
ton affecting the general health Of
cattle may result in suspension Of
chewing. and there is almost certain to
be an interruption of this process
when there is any pronounced dis
turbance of digestion.

Besides the 20 convicted, three
pleaded guilty and will be SEN
fenced with the convicted ones.
Those who pleaded guilty are:
Lieut.. Wilhelm Won Brincken,
former military attache of the
German consulate.
Geo. Rodiek, former German
consul at Honolulu.
II. A. Schroeder, former vice
consul at Honolulu.
Six additional indictments were
dismissed by the prosecution dur
ing the trial.
The case was given to the jury
at sos p. m. yesterday and the
verdict was returned and read at
a. m. today.
Ends in BloOdshed.
The closing day of the trial was
climaxed yesterday when, Just
as court adjourned for the noon
recess, Ram Singh, a defendant,
shot and killed Ram Chandra,
another defendant, and fired
three more shots wildly about
the courtroom. w. 8. Marshal
James Holohan shot Ram Singh
dead In his tracks an instant
later.
In this trial there has been
laid bare one Of the most preten-
tious of Germany's thwarted
grand plots to disintegrate the
allied nations.
It's object was to incite revolt
in India and thus divert British
armies from the western front.
| To this end Berlin used the
United States as breeding
ground for sedition, before Amer
lea entered the war.
Secret Service Alert.
That 1t failed was due to the
alertness of American and Eng
lish-- secret service men, who
caught the threads OF this gigan-
tic intrigue in four continents and
the several seas and wove them
into a trap for the puppets of
the kaiser.
The conspiracy, as outlined in
court, had its inception in the
| WUhelmstrasse, ramified thru
New York, Chicago, San Fran
cisco, San Diego and other large
cities to Hawaii. China, the
Straits Settlements and thence to
the nests of disaffection in India.
Following a preparation thru
adroit propaganda, Berlin plan
ned to supply its Indian dupes
with funds, arms and ammuni-
tion. to be shipped from the Unit
ed States to the revolutionists.

German consular service in San
Francisco, Chicago. New York and
Hawaii was swept into the scope

Huge sums OF money was placed
at the disposal of the conspira-
tors. Only a small portion of that
fund accomplished any tangible
results.
