PROPOSAL NOT YET
 FORMALLY OFFERED
RAILROADS, HOWEVER, WILL BUILD BUT ONE vIADUCT, AND MATTER WILL COME BEFORE COUNCIL MEETING NEXT WEDNESDAY

The city Of Birmingham has not yet re- ceived the formal proposal from the rail roads as to the construction of a viaduct in the vicinity of Twenty-eighth street. The plans will not be acted upon until next Wednesday. when the council meets in regular session.
 Although the railroad officers interested have made no statement in regard to the proposal 1t is now we'll known that the railroads will build but one viaduct. That will be either on First avenue or Twen- ty-eighth street. The place is elective with the council. The city of Birmingham will be requested to stand the expense of abutting property damage on the part of those not interested in the viaduct's con struction. This condition eliminates dam ages for the Sloss company, the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company and other corporations interested. The city, will be requested to abandon work of paving Thirty-second street, and will also be requested to construct the side walks of the viaduct.
 In addition to this 1t will be the purpose of the railroads to have certain alleys and streets closed permanently to traffic near the viaducts The streets and alleys to be closed will depend upon which via duct Is built.

turn from such flock, he said, and the lambs, he said, if properly reared. can be sold for at least twice as much as the common mother eve was bought for
 Professor Grays emphatic advice was to sell the lambs early; not under any circumstances to hold them after April or May He showed how lambs could be raised for early market from the com mon eve mother. to bring the highest prices In the market.
 Both Professor Gray and pr. C. A. Cary advised sheep culture as the means of utilizing all waste or unused lands. Dr. Cary spoke briefly on the arrange ment of pasture lands for all live stock.
 Alabama farmers waste more feed for animals each year than any other people I know he said. "because they haven t got the lands arranged so animals can get at the grazing"
 Dr. Cary advocated systematic fencing and the rotation of pastures He did not advocate the breeding Of goats, be- cause of the inferiority of goats to sheep. Sheep, he said, can be raised as easily as the goats. and can be sold with more ease and bring better prices.
 pr. Cary advised the use of big ranges and the freedom of the ranges to the lambs, to offset the stomach worm dam ger and other ills.

EXPECTS IMPROVEMENT
 IN THE IRON MARKET

William Byrd of Hammond Byrd com pany Iron brokers, left last night for Mo- bile on business. Mir. Byrd said the iron market has about reached It's lowest ebb and reaction may safely be expected to start soon. The present dullness of the iron situation has been brought about by the pipe and foundry firms declining to buy except actual necessities, believing all the while that lower prices would be announced. The present quotations are considered very low for Birmingham iron and those conser atively inclined do not believe any further reductions will result.
 The furnace production has been exten- svely curtailed in this district In an eff. fort to enliven the market
