M'ANENY CRITICISES MAYOR
Says Aldermanic Cuts in Budget
Mean Reputation.

Borough President McAneny, who urged
the Board Of Estimates programme on the
1912 budget before the aldermen on Iues-
day. said yesterday that the so-caiied
cuts" made by the Tammany machine IN
the aldermanic body were not cuts az all
but population of debts"
The ruthless work Of the machine, led by
Alderman Bowling. Tammany floor leader
I'm cutting out the deficiency tax item from
the budget followed by the Mayors speech
at the dinner of the Fifth Avenue Assocla-
tion. in which he said that there had been
q decrease I'm the annual appropriations OF
departments controlled by the Mayor. nut
an increase in the appropriations for the
borough presidents stung McAneny into
the retort that Mayor Gaynor had jugged
with the figures.
THE real cuts I'm the 1912 budget sald
the Borough President Of Manhattan. were
made by members OF the budget committee
Of the Board Of Estimate when they cut
down increases asked for by the Mayor
commissioners from $4,000 600 TO 81, 600, 900.
Taking up the figures submitted by 'he
Mayors department heads to the budget
committee the fusion members OF the
Board of Estimate were able TO point out
that the "two-hundred- million-dollar bud
GET would have been an actually If they
had not scaled down the big demands OF
Mayor Gaynors commissioners.
Besides the $l2OOO,COO reduction effected by
the budget committee, which consisted or
three fusion members President Mitchell,
Controller Prendergast and President Nc
Aneny. in the departmental estimates di-
rectly under the Mayor, another 5000"
was saved 10 the city by the same commit
tee when II scaled down the demands of
the departments indirectly controlled by the
Mayor
The so-called cuts made by the Tammauy
majority in the aldermanic board. Mr. Nc
Aneny pointed out yesterday, would practi-
cally all have TO be put back in the city ex-
penditures through the medium of revenue
bonds
Calvin Tomkins, Commissioner of Docks
and Ferries, was the only one of Mayor
Gaynor's appointees to complain yesterday
of the reductions made by the Board OF
Aldermen. According to his statement, the
small reductions made in his estimates as
allowed by the Board of Estimate were ali
urgently needed, and on a basis solely Of
economy should have been left as the Board
OF Estimate left them
The City Club wrote the Mayor yesterday
asking him to hold public hearing on the
aldermanic resolution containing the So
called cuts. The Mayor has the power TO
veto the resolution, and thus restore the
budget to the shape in which it passed the
Board of Estimate, but inasmuch as the
Bowling report and resolution were admit
tedly "Gaynoresque," it il not expected that
the Mayor will fail to support his Tammany
associates on their resolution.

SPENCER CASE NEAR END
All Direct Evidence and Some
RebuttaI Testimony Heard.
PRISONER RAVES IN COURT
Outburst of Violence Against At
torney General Swift-Alien-
lists on Stand.

Springfield. Mass. Nov 22.-When ad-
journment was taken late to-day in the
trial OF Bertram c. Spencer. charged with
the murder OF Miss Martha 3. Blackstone.
school teacher. the direct evidence for
both the prosecution and the defence had
been submitted and the prosecution had In
troduced considerable rebuttal testimony.
In less than a week, 1t was predicted the
fate Of the defendant. whose sensational
actions in the courtroom have attracted
wide attention, will have been decided.
The defence ended it's direct evidence be-
fore the taking of the noon recess with the
testimony of prominent alienists. Three
physicians-Drs. Edward y. Lane, Joseph
". Courtney and l. V. Briggs. all of Bos-
ton-testfied that after thorough examina-
lions they were Of the opinion that the
accused man was insane at the time he
killed Miss Blackstone.
With the closing of the direct case for the
defence the state called a score OF wit
nesses to the stand. All were acquaint-
ances Of the prisoner, and their evidence
was largely to the effect that they never
saw anything unusual or eccentric In his
actions or habits.
In the day, when he made a violent dem
onstration against Attorney General James
NJ Swift, Spencer was Of a more peaceable
disposition to-day. once or twice he APP
parently muttered to himself, and again
tears were seen trickling down his face.
For the most part. however. he appeared
TO be taking but little interest I'm what was
going on about him.
The outbreak against the Attorney Cen
eral took place while he was conducting
the cross examination Of DR. lane. The
latter was testifying as to his conclusions
regarding Spencer's mental condition at
the time Miss Blackstone was killed ana
Miss Harriet Dow was wounded IN the
Dow home in this city. As Mr.. Swift
mentioned the name Of Miss Dow, Spencer
began to show signs Of anger lie NUT
tered 10 himself and moved uneasily IN
his cage Looking at the Attorney Gen
eraI Spencer shouted in anger: "Ill give
YOU something"
Mr.. Swift turned leisurely. looked into
the face Of the prisoner, and smiled. the
smile seemed to put Spencer into frenzy.
He Jumped to his feet and began TO swear
and curse at the Attorney General. Turn
key Wade, the defendants guard soon
overpowered the prisoner and forced him
back into his seat.
Spencer struggled with the officer, NUT
ter1ng continually. The prisoners VIE
put her hand through the bars OF the cage
and tried to soothe her husband. but ne
thrust the hand away and cried at her
savagelv: Let me alone" For a time II
appeared that Spencer's anger at his wife
was almost as intense as that directed
at Mr.. Swift. Spencer, however, was soon
restrained

SLOWER GIVES PARK SLICE
Now Willing to Shave Sidewalk to En-
able Street Widening.

Park Commissioner Slower has informed
the Harlem Board of Commerce and Bor-
ough President McAneny that he is willing
10 cut ten-foot slice off the sidewalk on
the Central Park West side of the park TO
enable a widening Of that thoroughfare.
Commissioner Slower said the action of
Alderman Schloss on Tuesday in Offering
q resolution for the widening of Central
Park West was much behindhand, as he
had practically settled the matter with the
Harlem Chamber of Commerce and the
Borough President.
Last year the Commissioner frowned on
the suggestion TO give up such large slice
of his 27-foot sidewalk He explained yes
terday that his change of mind had been
brought about by the eXigencies Of the case.
There is so much traffic on the street
something must be done TO accommodate
it," he declared. But l do not propose 10
give such a slice Of the park sidewalk UNI
less the car tracks are placed in the mid
die Of the street. The company l under
stand, favor keeping them where they are.

USEFULNESS OF FEED CUTTER
Particularly Beneficial in Chopping
Hay and Fodder Because Guam
tity Can Be Measured.

No farmer who owns even three
head of stock can afford to be with
out a feed cutter, although there are
thousands of good-sized farms that
have never yet introduced this useful
little machine.
In England 90 per cent Of ali the
farmers use cut feed. only 0 per cent
being adverse to the use of the cut
ter.
The feed cutter is particularly bene-
fetal In chopping hay and fodder. be-
cause the quantity may be more cas-
lily measured. and when chopped and
mixed with a small amount Of water
all dust is prevented.
When hay is scarce. clean oat straw
chopped with hay and mixed with
bran or meal. and slightly moistened.
aids mastication and digestion.
Chopped feed IS particularly good
for work horses when they have but a
comparatively snort time "a which to
feed A horse IS unable 10 masticate
a sufficient amount Of roughage with
in a few minutes and where the feed
Ing time is shortened by stress Of
work the feed should always be chop
ped.
These machines can be run by
power or hand and are so inexpensive
that the cost is no reason Why every
farmer should not avail himself Of
their use

RATION FOR GROWING PIGS
AS Feeding Capacity Of One Differs
From Another II is impossible
to Say What Is Best.

1t is impossible for anyone to say
what is the best ration for growing
pigs. The feeding capacity Of one diff
fers from another. We have been
feeding for years, yet are all the time
looking and anticipating some way to
produce better results. Sometimes we
think we are feeding mere grain than
necessary, then again we think we are
not feeding enough. AS rule more
pigs are underfed than overfed, says
the Swine Herd. We find a good RAJ
ton for developing youngsters in five
pounds of o. p oil-meal, 10 pounds
of wheat bran or middlings, Is pounds
of cornmeal and one pound of salt
well mixed in a barrel with milk and
warm water, feeding all they will eat
up clean morning and night. II you
have apples, cabbage or roots feed
them at noon. After they have eaten
their evening slop feed them one
pound Of corn to each pound OF live
weight of pigs. Ground wheat, barley
or oats can be substituted for a por-
ton of the bran and middlings II de.
sired. For the brood sows we add one
bushel of cut alfalfa to this mixture in
winter. They eat II with a relish. but
small rigs do not like the alfalfa mix
ture as we'll They leave large por-
ton of the alfalfa in the trough I'M
eaten, unless it has been soaked in
boiling water several hours prior to
feeding.
