Carb0lic acid in one or the other Of its
forms and common kerosene are the es-

We used some Of the FIRST carbolic acid
that come to st. Louis in fine costly crys-
itals, and try never to be without both
them and the crude acid, which is now
quite cheap. The coal oil We use both as
an external and internal remedy, and

All cattle men should advertise their
brands extensively. Money SO invested
will bring MS good profits, from the fact
that occasionally some of our stock drift
far beyond the ranges covered by our
roundup, and if our marks and brands
are not well known on. our neighboring
ranges the eagle eye of the professional
crook soon spots them, and he suddenly
remembers that John Spoopendike, a
friend Of his, had lost some cattle OF that
brand and had asked him to gather them
for him; but if the brand be known he
does not have any such recolle ctions.

Quite number of cattle have died
down the North Fork the past few weeks
the principal cause being the lack Of
topen water during the late big freeze, in
which all the rivers and creeks were
frozen solid. Cattle are, however, In faiI
condition, and, with an early spring, the
loss will not be as great as usual. Among
horses, however, the loss promises to be
iserious, as saddle stock Of all kinds on
the range is very weak, and the loss
among company brands has been consid
cradle. This was occasioned BY tho late
fall rains rotting the grass SO as to fur.
nish little subsistence to grazing horses
and in consequence they are in poor flesh
and very weak. good demand for broken
cow-horses will result when spring opens
