Qualities That Are Indispensable to Sue
cess on tile Plains
To be a successful cowboy one must
be skillful in four qualities He must
be good ridor. have complete con-
troll of his lariat, good knowledge of
the country and be keen judge of
cattle and their brands. Riding all
sorts of horses, as he does, soon gives
him an intuitive knowledge as to
whether any particular horse will
give him trouble, and when once on he
has got 70 stick for all he knows how.
His rope comes in handy fifty times a
day, either to catch some maddened
COW or runaway calf, to haul wood
and hundreds of other uses. Without
a knowledge of the country he could
never pilot branch of cattle to the
main herd or could he look up strays,
and finally other cattlemen would
palm off the most miserable specimens
upon him if he could not tell good
beef from bad. His readiness to dis
tinguish and knowledge of the vari-
Gus marks used to denote ownership
is exceedingly important, especially
in the spring, as disputes frequently
arise.
All these qualities a really good
cowman excels in, and when to these
is added cheerfulness, adaptability
and good humor. it is hard to find a
more pleasant companion The life
is hard, but the freedom and excite
ment seem in most instances to out
weigh the hardships s-Philadelphia
