Stock Owners.
In consequence yof the great number

The Cattle Sanitary Board, not now in
actual use. the State Legislature has
passed law requiring all owners of re-
corded brands TO re-recopi their brands
within a period Of six months. com
mencing on Sept. 10, 1912. A failure
upon the part of each holder Of re-
corded brand to re-record his brand in
the time required by law. forfeits all
right of further use. In "a short time
circular letters together with proper
blanks for sending in renewals to the
Office of the Cattle Sanitary Board will
be sent out to each holder of brands
now of record. To facilitate this work
as much as possible, and to avoid the
lapsing of brands. il is earnestly re-
quested that all parties now having re-.
corded brands, upon receipt of propel
blanks from this office, send in their re
nawals with the least possible delay.
