apparently fastidious in personal
appearance, were in the packages
found early Sunday in vacant lot
at Morgan avenue and Ten Eyck
street, Brooklyn.
The victim had been dead at least
two months, examining surgeons
said, and police linked the discov-
cries, then, with discovery previously
OF other parts Of q human body,
March q and April II. in approx
inately the same sections of the
metropolitan district.
Brutality Is Apparent
Extreme brutality Of the butcher
was apparent" police said, from
the manner IN %hich certain parts
Of the body were cut and hacked. as
though with a meat cleaver or ex,
leading to the conclusion the kill
ing was a sex murder Of the most
vicious type.
The packages found were uncov-
cred by Policeman Cottlieb Gauler
and his father who had come to the
vacant lot to seek top soil. One was
wrapped in a New York Daily News
Of April l6, the other in a Brook
lyn Daily Eagle Of March 26.
The head was in one package.
Other parts we're in the second
package.
Portions of Body Scattered
Still a third package found near
by contained a silk shirt, several
pieces Of a mans silk underwear,
and pair of women's boomers.
The man, apparently five feet six
inches tall, weighing 100 pounds,
had carefully manicured flngernails.
Police believed other portions Of
the same mans body were those
found March q and April II, the
first thigh found wrapped in pa
per on the Brooklyn end Of Will

A few days later large section
OF a human chest was found in a
nearby lumber yard, and the next
day at the foot of Grand street in
the East river a human calf, a
thigh and two upper arms were
found. Part of a bullock was found
April II in Glendale.
Police theory was that the victim
had been killed in New York, and
the wrapped parts had been car
ried across Williamsburg bridge and
thrown from an auto at intervals.

HOW TO PREVENT
BLOAT IN BEEF CATTLE

; BOHEMIAN, Jan. 5-A new feeding
method that. appears to be surefire
means of checking bloat losses in beef
cattle has been developed by the Mon
tana Experiment Station under the di-
rection of Louis Vinke, head Of the
ANIMAL husbandry department 2, Mon
tana State College.
Bloat. the cause of heavy losses to
feeders of beef cattle, has had the at
tention of experimental workers for
many years. 1t defied every method of
control until it was discovered in feed
ing trials at the Montana station that
cattle started on oats, and gradually
shifted to fattening grains escaped the
trouble.
The feeding trials were conducted
with most of the common fattening
grains and alfalfa. The barley-alfalfa
combination caused the greatest num-
Der of bloat cases. In most every in
stance the critical period was when the
steers were receiving from five to sew
Ell pounds Of grain per day. After this
period was passed successfully. very
few cases occurred The use of oats in
trials conducted the last two years al
Havre and Bozeman was 100 per cent
effective in controlling bloat. The re-
suits have been confirmed in similar
trials by the Colorado experiment sta
ton
The method found to be most effec-
tive is to start the steers on two
pounds of oats per head per day. As
appetite develops the amount of oats
is increased gradually until the criti-
cal period is passed. Then is gradually
substituted for the oats The change
from oats to the fattening grain shoulc
require about two weeks, Mr.. Vinke
advises
The Montana Experiment Station has
circulars describing the bloat-contro
feeding trials which are available upes
request.
