west cattle from one herd frequently
stray away and join a herd be-
longing TO another ranchman, and

the cattlemen in the various states have
associations which keep agents at the
principal cattle markets to watch for
such strays and see that the result of
their sale is credited to their proper
owner, no matter in what shipment
they reach the market. During last
