H. B. $50 requires all persons who
slaughter cattle for sale (including
farmers who peddle beef to obtain
annual licenses from the county
treasurer. Licenses cost one dollar.
The butcher is required to hold the
hides for not less than ten days, to
make a record III a book of the
brands, color of the hide, whether
the animal was raised by the persons
Strengthening, and if not, from whom
purchased, and to file a duplicate of
this record with the county clerk not
later than the fifth day of each month
The purchaser of the animal must
inspect the hide for marks and brands
and keep a record in a book, together
with the name of the seller, his adj
dress, weight of the carcass, price
paid per pound AMI date of purchase.
These provisions do not apply in case
of a buyer purchasing beef or veal
for family use. H. B. 279 requires
all hide buyers to keep hides for not

House bills 281 and 283 no longer
require specific ownership of animals
or hides to be proven in rustling
cases. s.. B. IA authorizes the live
stock commission to permit stock to
be moved from one county to an

duty of the railroads to have the
shippers tally, in duplicate, before
a shipment of stock can be moved.

mission and the other to the market
inspector at destination.
