ARRESTS FOR BLINDING A MAN
New Yorker Struck in the Face with
Stockings Filled with Lime.

Will LA1ESs
New York, Jan. 24.-John Lynch,
formerly a conductor employed by
the Union Railroad Company, will
be led from his home, No. 1913
Tiffany street, to the Children's court
to appear against three boys.
One of Lynch's eyes is gone and
the other is fast failing, so that it
is feared he soon will be blind, all
because the three boys celebrated
last Halloween with stocking filled
with lime.
Lynch says he was on the rear
platform of his car. which had come
through. fremont avenue and was
nearing Bronx Park, when several
boys in costumes and masks boarded
the car Three of them struck the
conductor on the face and head with
stockings, in one of which was lime.
One Eye Removed.
The conductor fell, his eyes filled
with lime. The boys leaped from
the car and escaped. Passengers on
the car went to Lynch's assistance,
who became unconscious. He was
taken to Fordham hospital and the
next day described the boys who
attacked him. His right eye was
removed, his left eye was badly af-
fected and he was taken to an eye
and ear hospital, where he has been
under treatment.
With a description of the boys the
detectives learned that three young
sters on Halloween night went to
building in course of construction
and one of them filled stocking
with lime. The other two had
stockings of cement mixed with
-four.
Boys in the neighborhood were
questioned and suspicion pointed to
Sidney Diamond, twelve, of No. 1139
Wyatt street; Isidor Cohen, fifteen,
of No. ITO East One Hundred and
Seventy-eighth street; and Lewis
Sapz, twelve, of No. 1151 Walker
avenue.
Since then the boys have been
under careful watch. They had no
notion that they were under suspici-
on of having blinded the conductor;
nor had their parents. They have
attended school and played with
other boys in the neighborhood.
Arrest Of the Boys.
The incident of binding the con-
ductor had. been almost forgotten
when last evening detectives went to
the boys homes and arrested them
as juvenile delinquents. They were
taken to the rooms of the Children's
Society.
The police said last night the
boys had not been arrested before
because Lynch's condition was such
that he could not appear against
them in court. 1t was decided, how
ever, when doctors said he probably
would lose his left eye also to make
the arrests without delay.

MRS. LONGSTREET WILLARD
SOUTHERN VETERANS WILL RE-
LIEVE GEN. SICKLES.
Will Raise Amount Due Among
Ragged and Manned Followers
of Gen. r. E. Lee"

New York, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Helen
D. Longstreet, widow of the famous
Confederate general, came to the aid
of her husbands evil war foe, Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles, to-day, with an Of
fer to raise s23,476 among the rag
ged and manned followers of Lee"
to pay Gen. Sickles's alleged debt to
the State of New York. Sheriff Har-
burger, who arrested Gen. Sickles to-
day in the civil suit brought by the
Safe to recover the money, also di-
rected letter to many of the rich
est men in New York asking them to
aid the aged veteran.
In a telegram sent to Gen. Sickles
from Gainesville, Ca, Mrs. Long
street said she had telegraphed to
the attorney general of the State of
New York that she would raise the
money among the Confederate vet
erans if allowed sufficient time.
Republic Not Ungratetul.
"The republic, whose BATTLES you
fought, will not permit your degrada-
tion," were her closing words to Gen.
Sickles.
The sheriff addressed his letter to
]. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller,
Andrew Carnegie and the $50 men,
bers of the sheriff's panel, composed
of wealthy New Workers.
Sheriff Hamburger dealt gently
with his prisoner. Instead of serving
the order of arrest this morning he
waited until Gen. Sickless lawyer,
Daniel P. Hays, had arranged with
a surety company for $4,000
bond for the veterans freedom. MIR.
Hays brought it to the sheriff's Of
flee and they went to Gen. Sickles's
9Th avenue residence this afternoon.
Sheriff Does His Duty.
"Well," the sheriff greeted him,
"it's a bit of formal business to-day.
You know 1 have to serve you with
the papers; I'm sorry have to do
so, but 1 have no choice"
1T is all right" Gen Sickles re-
piled, tossing the unopened order and
complaint on his library table. "You
are one of the best friends I've got,
sheriff"
They placed the bond before the
general and he signed it in a flowing
hand.
THAT handwriting is not so bad
for man who is more than 92 years
old, sheriff." he commented. 1T
cost me $500 to get this bond.'
General Picks Up Pennies.
There was a fee of S5.25 owing
the county for service of the papers.
Gen Sickles summoned Miss Edith
Wilmerding, his housekeeper, to pay
it. She came into the room with her
hands full of pennies, tripped on a
rug and scattered them over the
floor. The general assisted in pick
ing them up. When the sheriff left
Gen. Sickles shook hands with him
and renewed his declaration of
friendship.
The issuance of the bond makes it
unnecessary for the sheriff to place
Gen. Sickles in Jail, as he feared Sat-
urday he might have to do. The
sheriff said this afternoon he thought
the case would be speedily brought

HOW TO GET GOOD VEAL

To obtain the highest quality OF
veal it is necessary to feed the calf
whole milk only. Whether this meth
cd Is the more economical or not will
depend upon the cost of the milk
fed, and also upon the cost of the
feeds supplementary to skimmilk.
There is, of course, less labor involved
when the calf runs with the dam.
and hereragain the question of net
returns should be considered. Some
COWS would give two or three times
as much milk as the calf needs, and
in order that the calf shall get the
average quality of milk under such
conditions it will be necessary to
milk the COW and feed it to the calf
in bucket. Professor Henry in his
book, "Feeds and Feeding" gives
the following regarding Dutch veal:
"ln Holland, where unusually
heavy, we'll fatted calves are spe-
cialty, the following practices are
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-12-15

common, according to Forssell: The
new born calf is placed in a stall 6. 5
feet long by 16 feet broad and about
five feet high, the stall being so mar
row that it cannot turn around,
though it can lie and stand comfort
ably. The floor of the stall is of Stats
or perforated boards, and is Uttered
daily so that the animal has per-
fectly dry berth. The calf barn is
kept dark. Two or three times daily
the calves get as much milk as they
will drink, and during the first IA
days only the dams milk is fed.
Eggs or other by-feeds are not given.
The calf consumes on the average
about 81 pounds of full milk daily for
the whole fattening period Of 10 to II
weeks, at the end of which time the
veal is considered to be at its best.
To prevent the calves from eating
feed other than milk, they are muz-
zled, ii straw or other roughage is
used for bedding. Finely ground
shells and sand are given to prevent
securing. The dressed weight ranges
from 1877 to 220 pounds, or according
to Rost, from 900 to $50 pounds. One
pound of gain is made in the begin
ming from eight pounds of milk and
toward the close from twelve pounds,
the average being ten pounds. The
fat calf dresses from 55 to 60 per cent
of it's weight"

cheap. The sheds and extra barns
necessary for feed storage would per-
haps come to $500 more. If, how
ever, you do not wish to make it so
elaborate you can build it all for
$1,000.

This is on basis of cows pro-
ducing 300 pounds of fat in year,
and if she tests 4 per cent. which is
an average test, it will be necessary
for her to produce 1900 pounds of
milk. AS to the profits you can
figure that for yourself. What is the
average price paid for fat in your
community; Can you dispose of the
milk to hogs and calves economically !;
that is, how is the price or market
for pork and veal? We find that un-
der our conditions we just about
break even. taking the prices as they
are at the present time, and that
means, however, that we are paying
for the cost, $131.8 5, as outlined
above.
The kind of COW to select depends
largely on your likes and dislikes,
and to some extent upon the cost of
your feed. If you can secure cheap
roughage you should get large COW,
or at least COW with large capaci-
ty, one that can consume large guam
titles of coarse material and change
it into the finished product. On the
other hand il it is necessary to buy
both the hay and the grain at high
prices the smaller COWS will be the
more economical producers. You no
doubt expect to sell cream to the
creamery rather than milk, in which
case you would probably feed hogs.
We have figured that for hog feeding
100 pounds of milk is worth from 20
to 80 cents, though for young pigs it
might be worth more than that.
The amount of land necessary to
support one COW the year around de-
ponds upon the fertility of the land
and how it is cropped. In many
places in the East and in Europe five
COWS are kept to the acre, but that is
possible only where all of the manure
is put back onto the land and where
such methods have been practlsed for
generation after generation. At the
present time we usually figure one
cow to the acre in most sections Of
this state, but on new land it is
doubtful if you would be able to keep
one to two acres.
The cost of erecting barn for ten
cows will depend upon how deliberately
it is constructed. Building accord
ing to the plan we have sent you un-
der separate cover it would cost about
$1,000 il you can get the lumber fairly

DR.. v. H. SANDERS
Attorney General Enters
Suit Against Officer
INCREASE OF SALARY
Claimed That DIR. Sanders Is Tech
nically Indebted to State for
s499s.65 - Salary Increase
Unauthorized by Law

Montgomery, January 7.-(Special)-
For failure to turn over 20 the state
treasurer the sum of s4,s9S65 represent
ing salary increase, held to be unau-
thorized by law and unexpended balances
from annual appropriations to his de-
partment, Attorney General Robert c.
Brickell this afternoon entered suit In
the city court of Montgomery against
DIR. w H. Sanders. state health officer.
The suit is the elimination of contro-
versy extending over a year between Dr.
Sanders and other officers of the state
government ana, is the direct results of
reports filed with Governor ONeal on
the state health department by Chief Ex-
aminer of Public Accounts C. T.. Nc
Call and Frank V. Evans. The report
of the first examiner covered the pc
riod beginning December 20, 1910, and
ending September 80. 1911, and the second
report embraces the last fiscal year. The
report of Examiner Mccall charges Dr.
Sanders with a technical Indebtedness
of $36o6.93, and the report of the second
charges an Indebtedness to the state OF
s1sel.72 Nearly one-half of the total in
debtedness of s499S65, for which suit is
brought against DIR. Sanders represents
a salary increase held by the attorney
general to be Illegal, although authorized
by the state medical association. The to-
tai amount of salary increase with which
DIR. Sanders is charged Is $1,000. Practi-
cally all of the remainder of the amount
with which DR.. Sanders is charged ac-
crued from an unexpended balance from
the state appropriation to the department
at the end of the fiscal years 1911 and
1872 amounting to s279O.S5. The remaining
item of $3.50 resulted from a subscription
to a daily newspaper, for which Exam
iner Evans said he found no authority.
One of the principal contentious between
Dr. Sanders and the administration was
in regard to a matter of salary. Sup
ported by the state medical association
which body increased the salary of the
state health officer in April 1910, from
1920 TO $4,000 per annum, DR.. Sanders
claimed the state had no authority to
deny this increase On the other hand
Attorney General Brickel held that Dr.
Sanders was a state officer within the
provisions of section PSI of the constitu-
tion and that under the provision OF that
section, he was entitled to recveive an
increase in salary for the term for which
he was elected.
The reports of the examiners showed
that Dr. Sanders drew this increase of
$500 per annum for nearly three years.

animation of its to5th witness the gov
eminent rested its case today in the
trial of Julian Hawthorne, Josiah
Quincy, DR.. William j. Morton and Al

frauduently to promote Canadian mining
claims. Counsel for the four men then
outlined their defense to the jury.
No evidence connecting Quincy with IL

Temagami-Cobalt, Elk Lake Cobalt and
Montreal-James properties was introduced
by the government, according to a ruling
by United States Judge Hough, who di-
reeted a verdict of not guilty on these
counts. The former Boston mayors case
however, must go to the Jury on the in
dctments relating to the Hawthorne-Sll-
Yer and Iron Mines, limited, and the Ju-
liam Hawthorne company.
