SI. JoBEPH, Nov. 70, lSSG.

 h. cae-z wE-rca calf has been brand ed bv mistake: both thc first cali and the one given ill return should have M put on the right side ot the animals neck.
 This will prevent in q measure those annoying disputes over such cases and show both parties interested whether, or not, calf branded through error has been returned.

 The brand has been recorded, and is the property of the Association. By order of the Executive Committee.
