Tbe branding o f sheep la more common In the range countries than In the fa rm states, as sheep are usually kept under fence on farms, and there Is not much need o f brand ing. Special branding p a in t should be used Instead o f Just any kind o f ta r o r barn p a in t, so as to reduce to a m inim um tbe trouble o f scouring tbe wooL M anufacturers p re fe r th a t tbe brand be placed on sheep where the wool Is o f the least value, such as on top o f tbe rump.
