A South Dakota man has invented a
new name of branding cattle that is
said to be favorably received by the cat
tie men who have seen the machine and
its work. The device has been patented.
1t is very simple and consists of a die,
containing the initials of the owner, or
any mark desired, and 80 placed between
the arms of an arrangement resembling
a lemon squeezer that the ears of an
animal can be punctured the same as a
bank check. 1t leaves a mark that can
not be destroyed or changed in any way.
An exchange produces the above and
remarks that it is a wonder that some
such device had not been discovered
long ago. But when the stockman reads
it he will smile and tell you at once that
the device is of no value for marking
cattle which run on the range.
