9OS Broadway, July 19.
The many friends of Mr. Miller the
Street Superintendent, who have been
working hard for his reappointment,
would now be pleased to have Mayor
Snow name his successor. This is the
view of the new situation at the CITY
Hall. taken by some of the politicians.
The two little resolutions introduced
last Monday night. appropriating $4,000 for
"a competent engineer" to prepare plans
for a street sprinkling plant and for sew
ering the annexed district, are SAID TO
be part of neat little plan TO make up
in a measure for Mr.. MilIer's disappoint-
ment at not being elected City Engineer
There seems little doubt that 1t is the
work shall be done by city Engineer
Clement Just whom it will fall TO is not
quite clear, but attention is called 10 the
fact that il would be a very nice appoint
ment for Mr. Miller should he be 1ree 10
The salary of Street Superintendent for
two wears is but $3600 and there IS a
great deal of work attached to the office.
The $4,000 to be paid for "a competent
engineer" would not entail anything IKE
two years work and would be very
prefeTabie lob to the one now held by
the Street Superintendent. ,,.,,o
1t is not at all likely that Mr Mlller
will resign from his present office, ana II
is lust as certain that the Mayor will
never vote to put him out of off1Ce. rms
new phase of the situation IS arouSlns
much interest among the City Hall poll
1t is said that an engineer other than
the CITY Engineer cannot be empioyeu 10
do original work. such as preparing plans
but that the city can always legally en-
ploy an expert to supervise any work
that may be in progress. rms point was was
thoroughly decided several years ago,
when Mr. Herring was engaged by the
city to supervise the sewer system theh
laid down -
Should this alleged programme be car car
ried out, Mr.. Miller could then be the
overseer of the work of his rival, Monte

sheen on the Farm

Tag the shep before letting them Out
to green feed. Watch the ewes closely
at lambing time; a little attention to a
weak lamb ut the proper time will
quite likely save its life. If the lamb
should be chilled, a little cows milk,
fresh, and with a teaspoonful Of liquor,
will usually put 1t on its feet. Do not
turn the sheep into a brush patch until
after shearing. 1t is not best to wash
the wool on the sheep. Do not crowd
the sheep in the pastures nor in the
sheds in winter; it doesn't pay to keep
more sheep than can be well cared for.
Do not keep sheep over three years old,
unless 1t should be a few choice ewes
that you wish to keep for breeding
purposes. Change the ram every year,
and, If possible, get better one every
time you change. This will cost some
thing, but will be money well invested.
Sheds or stables should be reasonably
warm, with nc cracks for the wind to
blow through, and with opening on
south side, with boards placed in front
in such way as to break the wind
and yet not hinder the sheep from go
ing in and out at will. for they must
have exercise or you will have weak
lambs.
