Cattle Brands.

There is a practice In vogue amoug the
cattlemen Of the southwest portion OF
the state which we think could be adopt
ed with brnht by stock owners In this
vicinity. We refer To the method Of ad-
vertiSing marks and brands. A cut OF
an animal (cow. horse or sheep as the
case may be) Is prepared and the brand
engraved upon it In the proper place.
This, together with description OF ear
marks. the name. post-office address
&c, OF the owner ,is kept standing as an
advertisement In the county paper. By
this means stOckmen may be identified
and the owner informed as to the where
abOuts OF strays which he might other
wise never find. The plan has given
entire satisfaction wherever adopted
The costs OF such advertising Is trifiing
IN comparison with the benefits 70 be
derived. II stOckmen will give this
matter little attention we think they
will see that it Is to their interest TO
adopt the plan.-Wa-Keeny World.
This going into an explanation OF the
brand business sounds strange TO our
people who are az familiar with COW
pictures as people in most parts of the
state are with patent medicine and sew
ing machine advertisements In their To-
cal papers. This county and section
keeps seven columns OF brands run
ming ia the INDEX and six columns In
the Crssset, the other paper published
ut this place, and they find that the adj
vertisipg is q good investment. True
there Is more cattle In this county than
any other county OF the state, but
every county paper should publish q
lot Of home brands, and we believe II
once started the practice would be con.
tinued. The paper can afford to fur
nish the cut and publish q brand one
year for 81 and perhaps less in some To-
stances. This would be as cheap as
could be asked. It would keep the
names OF stockmen prominent before the
public and would insure the quick re-
turn Of stray cattle.

Councilman McNeal, Of the Cresset, In an
article this week attempts to lash the city
council over the shoulders Of the INDEX.
When the proposition TO fine the parties
selling liquor In this town first came up he
was the only member who opposed the
proposition; the second time he lodged the
issue. Now he Is indignant that the fines are
imposed, and contends that more liquors.
sold than under the old order Of things since
the prohibition amendment was adopted.
He knows better than this, but won't &C
knowledge Il. Prohibition has had moth
ing to do with the sale Of liquor here, and
the action OF the city council In collecting
u revenue from the sales has not increased
or diminished them. Whlskey will be sold
wherever men are, and as long as this Is
the case It may rs well be made to pay q
revenue to support the law and the law of.
flcers. The Cresset may favor free whis.
key here, but we do not. II may be anx.
ious to allow liquor sold by as many men
as can get trade, without them paying fol
the privilege, but we are not. 1t appears
to be necessary to employ officers to pre-
serve the peace Of this town, and the coun.
Gil is only having those who sell liquor pay
this expense instead Of imposing that bur
den on the tax payers. Even the liquor
men are not gnrmbling at the fines impos-
ed on them each month: and as LONG "a :
large majority of the citizens favor the sys-
tenn Of fines inaugurated by the council
what Is the matter with the Cresset? Wa
It more happy and contented under the ole
way of not collecting fines, though NOR,
liquor was sold?
Prohibition must prohibit in Medicin'
Lodge or the council will make those whC
sell liquor pay for the violation.
