A GOOD SHEEP MARKING INK. 



One of the greatest annoyances that sheep 

 breeders have had to contend with has been the 

 marking of sheep. Ranchmen have tried many 

 preparations for this purpose, but have found all 

 more or less lacking in the most essential points. 

 The requirements of a sheep-marking ink are: 

 that it shall be permanent; that it may be easily 

 taken from the fleece when the wool goes to 

 market; that it may be easily applied; shall be 

 ready for use; that it shall not settle, evaporate 

 or fade out before it is taken from the package, 

 and that it shall make a distinct and lasting 

 mark, without in any manner hurting the wool 

 or diminishing its price. Such an ink is hard to 

 find, but Heath & Milligan Mfg. Co., paint and 

 color makers, of Chicago, claims to have such 

 an ink and has advertised it extensively during 

 the past year, backing up its claim to have the 

 only perfect material of this kind on the market 

 with numerous testimonials from prominent sheep 

 raisers who have used the ink for some years. 

 As this Company is one of the oldest and most 

 reliable in its line, it is fair to presume it will 

 make its claims good.
