Alderman Rourke inquired If the mat
ter could be discussed, as it had not
been brought to their notice by concur
rent vote of both houses. He therefore
moved to table the matter temporarily.
He also asked City Auditor Brown why
the report was made, and the auditor S
reply was, 1--WE are exceeding our ap-
propriation."
Alderman Darlington seconded the
motion, which prevailed. The action of
the board was taken so as to await the
action of the councilmen next Monday
evening. There is little doubt that the
councilmen will concur in the order for
an investigation, but this, of course,
is not a foregone conclusion, and while
Il Is highly improbable that the coun-
ell will refuse to concur, such action Is
not without the range Of possibility.
There was no discussion on the SUBJ
iect, and that part of the bills relating
to the cost of street sprinkling adver-
tising was allowed to be tabled.
The remainder of the session was tax
en- up in signing bills.

Feeding Managers.

The associate editor of Hoard's Dairy
man says he is one of the comparatively
few COW keepers who do not believe in
managers of any description, and he has
none of them in his stable. Neither does
he have any partition between the heads
of the several cows, although willing TO
concede that a narrow division of the
space in front of the cows into individ-
ual feeding places would not be particu-
larry objectionable Where COWS are
habitually fed all they will eat, he says,
the robbery that goes on from one TO an
other is not very serious trouble. He
claims that great objection to individual
managers Is the inconvenience of cleaning
them out, which is almost sure 10 result
in the accumulation of a great deal Of
filth, and hence we believe in having
the feeding place so easily accessible
that few strokes of broom will clear
out everything that ought not to be
there. There is no stall or Manager with
which we are acquainted where uncut
corn slower can be fed with any degree
of satisfaction, and this is one point in
their favor, for corn slower should al
WAYS be cut before feeding.
