“Kidney pad” or “kidney
plaster” was the contemptuous
name the cowboy gave the
small riding saddle often used
by Easterners.
In cowbay parlance, a wom-
an who is looking around for a
husband is said to be “drag-
gin’ her rope.”
WANTADS
By Vem Sanford
Keeping up with neighbor
Jones is a problem.
1 But keeping up with the mul-
titude of manufacturers of the
various and sundry items for
outdoorsmen is many times
more difficult. It’s expensive,
too!
There must be a million dif-
ferent products designed espe-
cially for those who fish, hunt,
swim, ski, hike, go boating, or
just plain camp out.
And — friend wife contends
that we already have most of
these items.
But the little woman is wrong
there. She doesn’t know the half
of it. There are millions of items
we don’t have! Trouble with
her is that she’s looking at the
multitude of canceled checks—
and comparing them with the
small bank balance.
However, she is right in many
respects. Looking back I find
that I do buy nearly every lure
that’s advertised in the local
newspaper. Also I’ve purchased
most of the rods and reels that
have been “specialed” in the
press. My resistance always
weakens when a store runs one
of those “introductory” or “spe-
cial-price” offers. I’m a sucker
for such deals. If I can save
money I’.U buy most anything.
In fact the wife remarked
just the other day, that if I
didn’t quit saving .money that
way we’d soon be broke. “We
just can’t afford to save any
more,” she warned.
There’s a merchant in our
town whose name is Dan. He
has three stores. Biggest one is
a general-merchandise type of
store, but it stresses things for
the sportsman . . . everything
from tees to tents.
He’s a big buyer and sells at
a small margin of profit. Every
time he runs an ad his store
swarms with customers. Usual-
ly I’m one of them.
I keep our fishing and hunt-
ing gear, as well as our boating
extras, in a small storeroom in
our fishing shack on the lake.
I’ll admit the room is pretty
well packed.
My wife has complained lust-
ily and long about my buy-
ing too many outdoor items.
My “excuse” has been that I
have to keep up-to-date on the
produ is if I’m going to write
abou; them.
Business trip?
Use the phone—and save!
Nice thing about your voice. It's you, all
right, but it can travel for a tiny fraction
of the usual expense-via telephone.
No fares, no hotels, no incidentals. And
it can contact your man just seconds
from now.
So don't pack a bag-reach for your
phone. And you’ll be home for dinner
tonight, with the job well done!

But, she found a way to put
a stop to all this “foolishness”
—as she calls it.
She’s a pretty clever gal, that
woman. When I came in from
a recent visit to Dan’s — with
two or three of about every type
of lure that Dan had “spe-
cialed” ... there was a big
sign greeted me over the stor-
age room door. Emblazoned in
huge letters was—“Dan’s No. 4.”
That ended it. I took the hint.
Now I tell Dan to come out to
my place on the lake, anytime
he runs out of anything — and
replenish his stock.
Anyway, if you haven’t been
reading in this column lately,
anything about the latest in
everything outdoorwise, that’s
the reason. But chances are
we’ll be back again as soon as
the storm blows over — just
like any avid angler.
Always Carry A Spare
Hookey season is with us
again.
If you don’t know what we
mean, then you’ve never skip-
ped school to go fishin’.
Maybe we shouldn’t be giving
the youngsters ideas. They get
blamed fir enough nowadays.
But we’ll lay you 2 to 1 they
are 10 times better behaved
than the kids of 20, even 40
years ago. And they’re defi-
nitely smarter!
However, one doesn’t have to
cut school to get in some good
fishing. There is plenty of time
on week-ends. And if there’s
fishing water close by, many an
angler finds it possible, and
profitable, to get in a few hours
of early morning casting before
reporting to work.
Don’t overlook the fact that
fish bite late in the evening too.
We keep our rod and reel in
a Boyt case. It looks just like
a gun case, but instead of a
gun it holds a two-piece spin-
ning or casting rod, a fishing
reel, and a dozen or so lures of
top-water and underwater va-
rietv It’s a mighty handy case.
Take along a couple of them,
fully rigged, and you can for-
get your tackle box and still
not kill a day of good fishing.
But, even then it’s wise to
open the cases before you leave
home and give them the ole dou-
ble-check. We know, because
we just flat failed to do it only
a few days ago.
So, there we were, right on
top of the ole fishing hole —
with everything and everybody
ready to fish — except yours
truly. We had everything with
us including a brand new four
star Garcia rod which we had
won in a fishing tourney at the
Outdoors Writers meeting at
Lake Texoma — everything that
is except one important item.
We’d failed to outfit the case
with any kind of reel.
Thank goodness however, for
one good habit. We always take
along a spare outfit. Luckily
Boyt case number two was fully
equipped.
We had to forego the plea-
sure of trying out that new rod.
But thanks to our habit of car-
rying a spare, we did get to do
a bit of fishing with the boys.
In the cow country where
ladies were scarce, the cowboys
flocked to dances. Because
there usually weren't enough
ladies to go around, some of
the men were picked to play
the part of a female and dance
lady fashion. The man so des-
ignated wore a handkerchief
tied to his arm. This was call-
ed a “heifer brand.” His reward
was being allowed to sit with
the ladies between dances.
When a cowboy said that an-
other man had “cut his picket-
pin and drifted,” he meant that
the man had left for parts un-
known on his own free-will
and under no compulsion.
A horse that bucks high or
stands on his hind feet and
paws the aiir is said to be
“chinnin’ the moon.”

ant to study outdoors, says

New Publication
To Facilitate
Cattle Marketing
One of the ’most revolution-,
j ary and effective projects in the
history of southwest ranching
is now underway to, facilitate
the adequate and satisfactory
marketing of cattle throughout
the Golden Spread area, accord-
ing to an announcement this
week from Wheeler, Texas.
Conceived by two Wheeler
men over a period of two years,
the project is a designed publi-
cation. named the “Golden
Spread Cattleman,” which will
carry individual listings of cat-
tlemen and will be circulated
to every qualified buyer and
all persons connected with the
industry throughout the mid-
west as well as the Golden
Spread.
Listings of ranchers will ip-
clude the number of head,
breed, sex, age, location, name,
brand and other important in-
formation the cattlemen may
furnish. With a circulation of
10,000, and printed in full color,
the publication will mark the
first time in the history of the
area that ranchers may place
their name before all active per-
sons in the industry without a
prohibitive cost.
Joe Weatherly, a member of
the field research division of
the Moorman Mfg. Company,
and Don Earney, publisher of
the Wheeler Times, realized the
extreme need for such a service,
and along with Charles Cullin,
former newsman of McLean, are
in the process of gathering in-
formation for the actual pro-
duction, scheduled for January
1. 1961.
In addition to the listings,
the publication will carry per-
tinent feature articles, pictures,
and items of general interest to
cattlemen. Services of profes-
sional artists, writers and pho-
tographers will be used in the
creation of the magazine.
All persons associated with
ranching have been aware of
the sadly neglected marketing
situation that prevails in the
region. Much has been done
to improve herds, pastures, etc.,
but little of consequence has
been offered to aid in the high-
ly impartant phase of market-
ing.
Many ranchers have indicated
through the years that an au-
thentic report on market activi-
ties, movement of cattle, infor-
mation or availability, etc.,
would be invaluable. The “Gold-
en Spread Cattleman” is de-
signed to adequately fill this
need, servicing both buyer and
seller.
Information for the publica-
tion, including listings, sub-
mission of stories, or pictures
may be had by writing the
“Golden Spread Cattleman,” Box
187, Wheeler, Texas.
