rose County, Colo., states ^ that over 85,000 brands are on record in 

 Montana alone, and that Colorado and New Mexico each have recorded 

 over 40,000, Wyoming over 21,000, Arizona 20,000, California 15,000, 

 North Dakota 10,000, South Dakota 12,000, and Oregon 8,500. In 

 Texas brands are recorded by the counties. Many of the recorded 

 brands are no longer in use, but the figures indicate that a brand 

 inspector must have a good memory, even though he examine the ship- 

 ments from only one state.
