STOCK BRANDS.

The LIBERAL intends to make a spe-
cialty of the stock interests Of this portion
Of New Mexico and the surrounding coun-
try.
It will be in the hands of and read by
most of the stockmen and cowboys in this
portion of the territory.
As stock is liable to stray it is desirable
for owners to have their brands widely
known. so that stray stock can be recog-
nized and owners notified.
In order to have brands widely known
they must be well advertised.
THE LIBERAL will advertise stock
brands at the following rates:
One brand on cut one year. ........$l
Each additional brand Oil cut, same
owner 9
Each additional brandin print(straikht
letters and fgures) 2
Each additional brand, character, bar
or connected letter requiring an en-
graved block 3
Each brand giving location of brand
on animal, or ear marks or both -. )
All descriptive matter in addition ia
name of company, address, range and
brands charged extra.
