NEW BRANDING METHOD
TO CURB CATTXE THIEVES. Cattlemen of Kansas, Texas and the Southwest at last have a new pricass for branding that is not only painless but so quick that cattle rustlers will have to move rapidly to seize unmarked animals. The chemical which replaces the painful and slow hot iron process etches a white mark on the hide and is visible soon after application. The usual branding iron is used, but the solution replaces the red hot edges of tha die. By the old method the cattlemen rounded up the cattle, heated irons, hog-tied the animals and were several days in branding a bunch of calves. With the new process hundreds of animals can be branded in a day. Cattlemen point, to the importance of this quicker method as a means of circumventing motorised cattle rustlers.
