ACCUSED OF MANY CRIMES.
Murder and Plots Laid at Door of Rus

ST. PETERSBURG, January 2-The rev.
Citations of the secret committee Of the
constitutional democratic party ascribing
the murder of ex-Deputy Hertzenstein July
1, 1906, to the reactionary League of the
Russian People, were published by the Rech
today and created a profound sensation.
The league is one of the legalized political
parties which is preparing to participate
actively in the coming elections. The Rech
says 1t has proofs in its possession show
ing that Yachkovich, assisted by Follower
and another important conservative, organ
lied the crime, furnished the murderers
with revolvers and even selected the spot
where they were to lie in wait for Prof.
Hertzenstein. Exact details of the Identity
of the two alleged actual murderers of the
professor have been furnished to the procu-
rator general.
Additional evidence, 1t is asserted, has
been secured tracing to the same reaction
airy organization a plot to murder Joseph
Hessen, editor of the Rech and Prof Mfiu-
koff, leader of the constitutional democrats,
as well as evidence Of ether crimes COM
mitted by the league, including an assault
upon N. Nenshikoff, a writer for the Novoe
Vremya, who. though a conservative, pub
lished series of articles attacking the
League of the Russian People.
No arrests have yet been made, but inves-
legations of the charges against the league
have been begun at ST. Petersburg and

Tons Of SCOT.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
A scientific investigator in Cincinnati has
been trying to arrive at a definite idea of
the amount of SCOT deposited in the city in
the course Of year. One of his tests was
to place two buckets three-fourths filed
with water. on eleven roofs In different
parts of the city. At the end of three
months a careful analysis of the contents
of the buckets to ascertain the amount of
carbonaceous matter was made. The result
Is that in the downtown area the falling
SCOT amounts to 541 tons a month or
eighteen tons daily. On square mile Of
the city the SCOT deposit is III tons a
month or 343 72S pounds. an average Of
several pounds to each inhabitant In one
of the suburbs the SCOT in the bucket was
464 grams to the square foot for "a period
of thirty days. For the same time the de-
post at a central point in the city was D.
$50 grams to the square foot.

BALTIMORE, January I'm the pres

at Mundy's Zoo yesterday afternoon John
Ripkin twelve years old, 100 Bruce street
fell from the fence erected to keep the
public away from the cages of the wild
animals and a second later was grasped
by the big lion Schley. A wild shrek rang
out and the 1900 or more spectators start
ed to rush pelmell from the building.
The boys injuries are not serious, but II
is within the range OF probability that he
might have lost his life had not Louis de
Ballistearer, the lion tanner, vaulted the
fence and driven the enraged lion to the
back of his cage. AS 1t was, young Ripkin
had his coat torn off and was slightly lac
Grated on the head, left ear and the back

severe injuries, as one hand was badly
torn, despite which fact he went on with
his part of the show last night, with the
injured member done up in bandages.

The accident occurred about 5:15 O'Clock
while Nine. Louie was occupying the
arena in her act with the trained leopards.
Fully 1900 persons stood on the ground
floor pressing up as closely as they were
allowed to the heavily barred arena, fol-
lowing each move of the intrepid woman
with breathless interest. Suddenly a
shrek rang out, and those who stood near
by saw that young Ripkin had fallen
against the cage and saw the powerful
paw of the big lion reach out and strike
him with sickening force.
The boy shrieked again, and many in the
crowd. apparently fearing. because of their
inability to see what was going on, that

The boy was found not to be badly hurt
but he was hurried to st. Luke's Hospital.
where his wounds were dressed. Afterward

In the rush to get out of the building

that the lad came there with his mother

cage.
Quick as a flash Schley's paw went out.
and the boy shrieked with pain and terror
Those who stood close to him surged away,
and the impact set the rest OF the crowd In
motion. A woman shrieked, and the crowd
made for the doors.
No one, with the exception of q few who
were close enough to the lad to see the acct

Preparing Cattle
For Mark ct.

In preparing cattle for shipping every
precaution and the greatest care should
be exercised by the feeder or shipper
80 that the animals will reach the mar
ket in prime condition.
If the steers are being finished on
grass and grain, they should be taken
off the pasture and put in dry lot at
least twenty-four hours or, better still,
forty eight hours before shipping and
fed only half their usual allowance of
grain, with all the hay they will eat,
In some cases it is advisable TO feed
no grain, thus getting the animals to
eat considerable bulky food, such as
hay. The whole secret, if there is such
thing, of shipping cattle successfully
is to get them full of dry food just pre-
vious to the time they are placed on
the ears and market-that is, the less
moisture the food contains in proper
ton to dry material the better, be-
cause as a rule a steer that is largely
filled with water has a tendency to
scour and thus show up gaunt and bad

good, and 1t Is only by using the best
obtainable breeding material that the
highest quality of horses can be pro-
duced The farmer does not buy seed
corn or oats or barley or wheat Just be-
cause it Is cheap, nor does he go from
seller to seller looking for the seed he
can buy the cheapest. When 1t comes
to selecting stallion, however, all Of
this sensible business policy seems to
be forgotten, for the mare owner too
often neglects the offered opportunity
to patroniZe the pure bred stallion and
for the sake of saving a few paltry
dollars at the time of breeding uses a

called when it was found necessary
to perform an operation. Every
thing possible was done to save his
life, but the operation could not be
performed on account Of his weak

30 cents per hundred pounds when
mixed with grain, either whole or
ground-that is, If dollars worth of
feed be used for hogs, 80 cents worth,
or 100 pounds of skim milk, would
make the ration more valuable than If
the whole dollar was used for grain
with only water instead of skim milk.
This skim milk keeps the hog healthy
and therefore thrifty, preventing con-
stipation and its attending evils, espe-
cially swine plague or hog cholera, the
dread of all farmers raising hogs. In
fact, l cannot recall a case of hog chol-
era or other disease among hogs where
skim milk formed a good part of the
hog ration. have in mind notably the
case of one of our neighbors who re-
Gently sold nice, thrifty hog, weigh
ing some 400 pounds, fed and raised
wholly on skim milk from his dairy,
which shows that we can make pork
ers equal to the best grain fed and
more healthy than those fed on grain
alone.
There Is such variation In results
Of experiments conducted to ascertain
hogs that the individual feeder is left
to be his own judge and to ascertain
for himself whether ii pays best to
grind the feed or to feed it whole. My
experience has been that young ami
mails will chew their feed better than
old ones and that almost any hog will
chew corn very well before it dries out
While young hogs will chew dry corn
reasonably well, old ones are liable to
pass half the grains unbroken In their
Weddings. Last year l undertook to
fatten a stag five years old, and the
corn got dry. He did not, from appear
ance, crack half the grains.
l am now fattening a sow about the
same age and the same Is true with
her. / am feeding her ground feed
now, however, and feel pretty sure
that ii pays me to go to the trouble
of grinding It. If the grains are not
broken, ii Is a clear case that the an
imal will not get much benefit from the
feed, and when any considerable guam
tity of grains is voided without chew
ing by the animal it would seem to be
the best plan to have the feed ground.
OF course ii will be some trouble and
cost to grind the feed, but II the ami
mails are not chewing their feed well
the extra trouble will be amply repaid
in extra grain from the same amount
Of feed.

BABY BEEF.
What the Stockman Must Feed to Sc
cure the Highest Quality.

To get baby beef of highest quality
it must of course be fed and reared
in certain way, says Professor Thorn
as Shaw. 1t is more influenced as to
its juiciness by the feeding than by
anything else. If baby beef is to pos
sess the highest quality of tenderness
and juiciness, animals must be given
a certain proportion of succulent food.
The succulence may be furnished by
grass in the summer. In the winter
the two more important sources of
succulence are corn silage and field
roots. But even when the animals are
grazing they must be well supplied
with meal, as making baby beef is
continual system of pushing forward
from the day of birth until the animals
are ready for the block.
Corn silage is the cheaper source of
succulence as compared with roots for
winter feeding, but it is not in any
sense the safer food of the two. Should
the silage possess much acidity, which
1t sometimes does when put up too i'm
mature, 1t is not nearly so valuable as
when sweet and well matured. As
much as twenty pounds daily may be
fed to steer when of the age of
twelve to eighteen months. 1t makes
an excellent medium with which to
mix the meal given to them under feed
ing, which is in sense forced.
But when field roots are fed they
also may be used as the medium in
which the meal may be mixed. They
may be fed either in the sliced or in
the pulped form. When fed freely
they give to the meat juiciness and
flavor such as can be given from no
other kind of food. There is also an
element of safety about 1t that comes
with no other kind of food. 1t would
be a difficult matter to injure the di-
gestion Of cattle beast by feeding it
too much roots, provided the roots had
become sufficiently matured. When
fed roots freely in the winter and then
carried on with grain and suitable
grass during the summer, the quality
of the meat from animals so young, If
well finished. would be simply superb.
