15,973. In what capacity had that person Trucked them?

I would recommend my friends, when they go to a fair for the purpose of purchasing cattle, to take a confidential servant of their own along with them, or else make it a part of the bargain that the owner keeps the cattle for a certain time, till the buyer can get the trucks properly cleaned-which I find no difficulty in getting done-so that before they allow their cattle to be Trucked they may be satisfied the trucks are thoroughly cleaned.

I would recommend, if the cattle have a distance to travel in March, April, and May, and until they have been fourteen days at grass, that they should be Trucked.
