Backus He is in a critical Fred G. Prothero, the local sealer of weights and measures, offers the following suggestions to the buying public of Norwich: Safety first: Buy by weight, Insist upon secing the weiglit of your purchase before the goods are wrap- ped up. Insist upon butter, lard, etc, being full weight without carrier. Dial scales when empty should stand with pointer at zero. If you order by measure, do not ex- pect weight and measure to corre- spond, as commodities vary. Waight or measure is legal in Connecticut. Sce that th ecoal put in Your bin by a chute averages about 35 cubic feet, to the ton. If delivered by basket, ask your dealer whether it is an 87 pound or 010 pound basket. Then count them. Do not condemn the dealer on hear- say. Honest merchants welcome in- telligent consumers. Speed and cam- lessness cause short weight more often than intentional dishonesty. FUNERALS.

Some boys are too young and are unfit for employment as drivers. AT inexperienced ones should be instruct- ed by an employer or competent sta- bleman. Attention to this matter will save driver and horse. A few cold weather suggestions for the treatment of horses follow: ‘Warm the bits a little on (freezing mornings. Take the chill off the water he drinks. Be carefu! about exposing him when overheated. Blanket him when he stands in the cold. . Have his shoes shatpened when the streets are slippery. Take no risks of injury to him in skating over asphalt. On icy mornings carry some sand for emer- gencies. Load lighter when snow blocks the streets. Do a little shov- eling and help your horse. Attempt no hard pulls up_steep or' slippery in- clines. Horses draw and keep their balance better unchecked. Give him frequent résts on snowy roads. Help your horse with a little axle grease. Rub him down when he comes in wet. Feed carefully and well during the winter. Blanket and bed him suffi- ciently on cold nights. Send for a veterinarian before it is too'late. Keep your temiper and save your horse.
