Romance Weaved
In Cattle Brands

Inherent from that Of other ranchmen
else the brand would fail of it's pur-
pose. So IL the latter days the letters
were finally all taken up and the neces-
sity for individual and UNIQUE brands
mas led to many strange device.
Many Novel Designs.
For example, there Is the "Spur"
ranch, the Turk Track" ranch. the
"Tumbling X of the Lazy X" Every
ranch has its principal brand, and
some nave many others. Ranch own
ers, who trade extensively, and are
constantly acquiring cattle with differ
ent brands, have number of insignias
on record. Often the ranchmen's sons
and daughters have their special
brands and the dedication of a new
brand is not an unusual form OF ceie-
brating birth on the range.
Among the peculiar brands is a pig
pen, which means square with it's
sides extending to form the exterior
angles. Crescents are common. Only
one ranchman has a Ratchet for a
brand.
A bow and arrow gives a name to
one big Texas ranch. L. J. Kimber-
Inns ranch had a crutch on the hip
and a coffee pot on the side. The
coffee pot design is not so intricate as
one might imagine, consisting of only
eight lines.
Wine glasses are not uncommon as
a brand and the J. w. Friend Cattle
company in Crotchett county had a
gourd. A rocking chair is the brand
of the Fl. B. Opp ranch in Sutton and
Menard counties.
Lee Brothers had for their brand the
graceful fleur de lis. Anchors are
common, but only the John w. Franks
ranch in the Usage reservation boasts
Of the Swastika.
A hash knife, a hat, the Masonic
square, key, turkey track, bell
crossed walking sticks, an hour glass
tree, boot, slipper, a flag. an
apple, flower, ladders, rakes, spades
a fence, a doll baby, cotton hook, O
fishhook, bottle, bride bits, frying
pan, pitchfork and even comet may
be seen among the long list of brands
A "scuple" indicates that the ranch
owner was a druggist before becoming
a cattleman. Hearts, diamonds and
clubs are found among the records OF
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1919-09-20

brands, but the spades are those OF
agricultural designs.
The tendency is toward smaller
brands. Branding causes cattle to
lose in weight, and the larger the brand
the greater the suffering Of the cattle
and the greater the loss Of weight, so
the old-time custom of great brands,
covering the whole side of COW, Is
passing away. Hides are more value
able today, also, and the big brands
injure the leather.
The easiest brands to read are those
made with the stamp iron, that is, an
iron forged into the figure or charac-
ter desired. Sometimes the cowboys
encounter a maverick far from head
quarters, and in the exigency of the
occasion an iron rod Is heated and q

ball. The batsman missed it foot
and so Gid thinner, who was so aston

retrieved the ball, called for con-

Gleason, second .baseman, who was
playing close In and tried to nail a

threw the ball against the grand stand.
then commenced looking over the turf
adjacent to his station, searching for
wet spot on the diamond.
'The ball was wet, Chic" exclaimed
the Kid, and showed his damp hand to
prove 1t. Fraser explained to him
how the ball got wet. That was an
other reason why the spitball did not
take" very well at the start. sThe
fielders made too many wild throws.
Loses Pennant on II.
Jack Chesbro, was the first major
Lacquer to make much use Of the spit
ter. He worked hard on it in 1904
when he was one Of the New York
Yankee regulars. But Chesbro did
not get perfect control of it and lost
game that might have given the
Yankees the pennant in 1904 by max
ing wild pitch in the ninth inning
OF the next to the last game of the
season.
In recent years the spitball is not
used anywhere nearly so much as the
public believes. There are numerous
pitchers who can use 1t, but they do
not do so regularly. It is merely a
bluff most of the time when they seem
to moisten the ball. That serves to
keep the batsman guessing.
