Brand Cattle By Nose
Print, jLatest Innova
tion for Identification
St. Paul.—Bertillion expertry in the
pure-bred cattle industry, an innova
tion in the identification of the animals
by “nose prints,” is the latest subject
cattlemen will have to learn with the
spreading; of the practice among live
■ stock men.
Experimented with last October at
the University farm here by W. E. Pe
terson, superintendent of official testing
in Minnesota, at the suggestion of O.
H. Baker, of the American Jersey Cat
tle Club, the new identification system
! has acted as a substitute for the unsat
t isfactory branding>methods in use for
years past.
More than 2;000 prints have been
taken and are on-file, and no two have
•been found alike. When the sugges
tion reached the ears of many of the
< leading cattle breeders it was regarded
as a humorous bit of “air talk.” but
i like the days subsequent to the devel
. oping of the Dentil lion system and its
. acceptance by the world generally, the
i past few months has proved the effi
< ciency of the new»identification system.
The procedure in making the nose
* prints is simple.' The cow’s head is
- taken under the left arm, its nose
- wiped, and ink applied thereon with a
r soaked stamping pad. ■ A small board
to which mimeogra[>h paper has been
attached takesahe imprint. The lower
• edge of the paper is started at the
base of the cow*s upper lip, and with a
- slight, even pressure rolled upward.
Th®' resultant none print is a perma
» nent-record, as noses do not change
i with time.
Shoes From discarded Tires.
Los Angeles.—The fate of worn-out
automohile tires—at least those of Los
Angeles—has been found.
After serving'their purpose here the
old tires are sent to-the. west coast of
Mexico and made into shoes,
And making shoes from -the discard
ed “cords” and ..“fabrics?- is simple.
The old tires are cut into lengths, both
f- ends sewed up at' .the—toes, a- strip
tacked on at the heels* and'' they have
as serviceable a shoe as ever was made,
« it is claimed.
To make such a shoe costs only from
50 to 75 cents.
The business of this- new trade is
. amazing. Sam L. Krieger, steamship
. agent, is authority, for-the statement
that 'the last shipment of old tires from
bore to the west coast of Mexico totaled
. 200 tons, and more consignments will
follow.

Trace of First Man
Found by Geologist
In Caves of Oregon
Eugene, Ore.—Discoveries in the
famous Josephine caves of Oregon of
remains of faunal life, believed to date
back to the pleistocene period, is an
nounced by Dr. Earl 1’aekard, bead of
the University of Oregon’s geological
department. Dr. Packard, with ev
eral students, has just returned from a
trip of several weeks through Southern
Oregon, which included visits to parts
of caves not believed to have been
reached before bv scieniific investi
gators.
Dr. Packard believes the remains,
which include bones and fossils, will
give clues to conditions prevailing
about the time man lirst appeared. He
also believes they will atTord valuable
information of the period when the
Klamath mr unta*n system was raised
from the plains.
The geologist asserted that if his
belief, that the "emains were from the
pleistocene period, was correct, they
would be extremely valuable from a
scientific point of view, as fossils of
that age are needed to fill in gaps in
geological history.
A dusky youth from Memphis was
witness for a railroad company in a
suit over the killing of another negro
by a train, the stand of the company
being an attempt to prove that the
dead man was in bad health anyway,
so that the amount of damages might
be lowered. The witness liked the job
of testifying and, when asked to de
scribe the state of health of the other,
replied:
“Dat boy was de feebles’ boy Ah ever
did see. Why, he was so feeble dat if
he hadn’t been run over by dat train he
was jes’ Dacherly boun’ to die at leas’
two days previous. Yassuh, he sho
was«a sickly boy.”—American Legion
