The Publication of Brands.

Although the necessity of having
brands published and the many advan-
tages arising therefrom, are so clearly
apparent as to need no explanation, we
give below a few good reasons for thus
giving publicity to the various brands
used by stockmen as set forth by the
New Mexico Stock Grower:
1st. 1t is the first business Of the rust
Ter to know the brand Of every member
and his range in the section Of country
in which he operates, as it would be the
uttermost folly, and he knows it, to
steal cattle from one section of the coun-
try and drive them to or near the range
G fanny member of the association, as
each man is supposed to know the
brands of his fellow members, and would
1T once recognize them and know
whether they were in proper hands.
I'd. 1t naturally follows that if brands
are not given the widest publicity, the
rustler will have a better opportunity
for carrying on their hilarious business,
for men in other sections, where they
must be driven, not being familiar with
the brands, Will on seeing the stolen
property suppose that everything is all
right.
Sd. The publishing Of cattle brands in
newspapers is not a new idea, but n
that has tavorably stood the test for
years. Twelve years ago every cattle
brand in Colorado was published in a
Pueblo paper, and to-day Colorado is
troubled less with rustlers than any
other section of the great cattle growing
belt. Kansas and Wyoming the same.
We say, and any intelligent cattleman
of the above named states will join usln
maintaining that the widespread pub
LEGATION of brands in newspapers has
greatly aided both the associations n
officers of the law in bringing about this
state Of affairs. To where nave these
rustlers drifted? To New Mexico and
Arizona. The Texas ranchmen did not
need any rustlers in their business
they published their brands the brands
and marks became known to all, and
the rustlers fed.
4th. The limited number OF assoclation
brand books which are published make
it impossible for each cowboy to be sup
piled with one, but through the medium
of a newspaper advertisement of brands
they will become thoroughly acquainted
with the same, if the publication is
made in a newspaper with a general
circulation among cattle-groWers, and
the cowboy is the only man on the
ranch who has best facilities for noting
strange cattle on the range, and for this
reason he should know the brand Of
every man in the country, or have an OPP
p%ortunity of becoming acquainted with
them.
9Th. New outfits are constantly being
started, and to prevent a similarity
these men should have the opportuni-
ties for seeing the brands throughout
the country.

same direction, in charge of John Harris,
of the company Fourteen
hundred head of steers were gathered
by the company and from these they
selected 1000 OF the best. 1t is thought
that the entire herd will average not
less than /, $50 pounds and we doubt II a
finer lot OF range cattle will enter the
stock yards at Chicago this year. They
refused s54 a head for the lot and by
shipping will realize lot less tina $751;
900 from the sale.
There are still several drives to be
made from this section and it is safe to
saw that after this year Northern Mon
tana cattle will have a good reputation
in the eastern market.

Turn Out More Bulls.

Complaints have been heard from
many ranges hat the calf crop the pres
ent year is not what it should have been
considering the favorable weather, and
that it was not so is generally attributed
to the insufficiency of serviceable bulls.
Cattlemen are too careless about the age
and condition of their bulls. How
many appreciate the fact that at four
years OF age a bull that has always been
upon the range is a detriment and a
nuisance that should be abated if he has
to be shot. But it is not necessary to
pursue such a summary method to re-
move a pest, for they can readily be
marketed at the east. Old bulls are
much appreciated by meat manufac-
tories, where they are converted into
the nice canned goods used at picnics
and lunches.
During the branding season a certain
number of the best calves are permitted
to retain their sex, but very seldom in
proper proportion to the heiter calves
Of the year. Now when it is considered
that a bull is of no account after four
years of active range life, because unable
to impart much vitality to the small
number of his get, it will be seen that
no provision is made for increase from
the older female stock, which, unlike
the males, are productive to a very adj
vanced age.
That is all wrong and should so APP
pear to those who have interests on the
range, whether large or small. The
former claim that under the open range
system they are virtually restrained by
the small owners from following the
best methods for the development of the
stock industry.
If the proper attention was given this
matter there is no doubt that earring
~visitations from Providence the annual
branding upon every range could be in
creased 25 per cent. In addition to
keeping the proportion of bulls good,
there should also be a yearly infusion Of
new blood upon every range, for contin-
ued inbreeding produces deterioration
and if they were herded by themselves
from autumn till July they would be
valuable for several years more of SER
vice. besides bringing the calf crop with
the regularity and certainty obtained in
sheep. ~
