Il with these men and call npon each
person having a COW inform him that
Mr.. So-and 80 is willing 10 take his
COW and herd her for 81 per month.
The herder will call In the morning
about from six 10 eight aud take the

o'clock at night. People must look
after their own stock during the night
III any COW chances 10 get away from
one OF these herders and Is put into
the pound then Mr. Herder must pay
the line.
'lf after providing n means by
which the people Of the city can have
their cows taken care ~. residents still
insist on allowing their cattle "a roam
the streets, then they must stand the
eonsequences There will be no fool.
| ing about this The council means
business and | have been given strict
orders. Cattle owners must look after
their stock
Bnt, one herder won't be able to
manage all Of the stock. WAS suggest
ed, ..and again. COWS from one
locality will not take kindly to being
driven off in another direction we
suggested.
40. nave all Of those things fixed.
have two herders ON the string now
and eveect 10 have another. I think
that three will be sufficient, one 10 take
the cattle from the lower end Of town,
those that feed out across the river.
one 10 take the cattle that feed near
the old waterworks aud another 10 take
the Maple Grove cattle There will be
herders enough. don't worry about
that"

bnsi '.ssa this time and our readers are
warned of the consequences of allow
ing their stock 10 roam at large after
