The Western Cow.Roy.

To be successful cowboy one must
be skillful in four qualities. He must
be good rider, have complete control
of his lariat, good knowledge of the
country and be a 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 to stick
for all he knows how. His rope comes
in handy fifty times day either to
catch some maddened COW or runaway
calf, to haul wood and hundred other
uses.
Without any knowledge of the coun-
try he could never pilot branch of
cattle to the main herd, nor could he
look up strays, and finally other cattle
men would palm off most miserable
specimens upon him if he could not tell
good beef from bad. His readiness to
distinguish and knowledge OF the
various marks used to denote owner
ship is exceedingly important, es-
pecially in the spring, as disputes
frequently arise.
All these qualities really good cow
man excels in, and when to these is
added cheerfulness, adaptability. and
good humor, it is hard to find more
pleasant companion The life is hard,
but the freedom and excitement seem
in most instances to outweigh the hard
ships. --Philadelph Times.
