Notice to Gas and Water Consumers

1t is the custom of all Gas and
Water Companies to ha,ea signed
contract or application from the
Consumer This custom has been
neglected in the past by this Com
pany, but the business has grown
so fast that it is an al solie neces
sity to have some sort of a record
of the patrons of the Company
Therefore, during tie month OF No
vember, an inspection of the houses
will be made and an application
will be presented by an agent of the
Company for the signature of each
consumer.
These applications are the same
as are in use by nearly all other Gas
and Water Companies and containiy
nothing that is contrary to the rules
and regulations of the Company now
in force and printed on the back of
each Gas and Water receipt 1t
merely emphasizes the fact that the
Company will not be liable for ac-
cidents, due to irregular pressure,
which, owing to the great consump
ton and lessenino field pressure
makes it impossible to entirely pre-
vent.
The Company will use every en-
deavor to regulate the pressure but
consumers must take their own risks
of accidents, and be espet tally watch
full. There is absolutely no change
in this respect, from what is the rnle
everywhere.
During the month of November
an opportunity will be given to con
sumers to sign the printed form and
in every case where the party refuses
or neglects to sign the same by No
vember Both Gas and Water will
positively be turned off on Deem

ground oats and corn, or what you
have for it. Don't fill ii too fast If
the pig has come in from long jour
ney and is very gaunt and tired ii Will
not want much feed for the first few
days. Don't keep feed before the pig
at this time. If it does not eat the
feed take it away and let it wait until
the next feeding time. Don't get the
pig stalled on the feed at this time.
OF course, n pig that has made only 4

time and not hurt it. l can't give

THE CuIpMuNK Ar HOME.

The little chipmunk, which we see
scampering along the stone walls
everywhere, is one Of the very prctti-
est of our four footed animals. by
reason Of his beautiful markings of
black, buff and chestnut he is some
times called the painted squirrel, and
because he seldom leaves the ground
for the trees he is also known as the
ground squirrel lie is one OF the
most providcnt of animals, spending
most of the autumn in storing away
food TO last him through the winter
First Of all though, he digs n long
winding tunnel in the earth. with sew
eral short branches, which he uses as
storerooms. Into these he carries nuts
of all kinds, wheat buckwheat, grass
seed and any other available food
which will keep. He carries these
things, few ut n time, in two pouches
one in each cheek-and when you
see him homeward bound on an au-
iumn morning, YOU will notice that
his face looks very much swollen.
Watch him little while and you will
see him enter his burrow 10y a small
round hole, close to an old stump,
perhaps. In a few moments he will
have stored his load Of provisions, and
will rcappear at the doorway with the
swelling all gone from his face
When the weather becomes cold In
November. the chipmunk retires to his
well stocked burrow and sleeps away
large part of the winter, waking up
at intervals TO stretch his limbs and
to sample the good things he spent so
much time in gathering. When the
warm days toward the close Of Febru-
are herald the approach Of spring, the
little ground squirrel comes to the door
of his home TO sniff the fresh air and
to warm himself in the strengthening

SELECTING A GOOD COW.

When n breeder purchases cows for
foundation stock he will always de-
mand three points, individuality, per-
formance and pedigree. Cows with
fleshy udders, or small udders, or poor
fore udders, or small teats are TO be
avoided, as are those also that have
short and heavy bull-like necks. The
model udder reaches well forward in
a graceful curve and extends high up
behind. Many beginners make the
mistake OF supposing that those ami
mails are Of a superior type that are
dainty and delicate, and lacking in
size. AS n matter of fact, slender,
graceful animals are likely 10 be de-
ficient in vigor and prove disappoint-
ing.
The performance Of an animal Is
one OF the best gauges of her value.
The average man cannot afford to buy
world beaters. but he will do well TO
pay the additional price which is asked
for superior as compared with inferior
performers. The record of the animal
to a large extent fixes the value.
