To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To brand means to mark with a hot iron. Branding is a practice in use among all cattle raisers, who are thusable to mark their beasts, and if they stray, can recognize and recoverthem. In the West, when the owners round up their cattle to count and separatethem, each man can tell his own stock by the brand. At the round-up, theyoung calves, which have been born since the last count, are alsomarked. The branding of the seals is not for purposes of identification, but soto destroy the skin of the... female seal that it will have no marketvalue. The seal puppies can be easily caught and handled. Last year threehundred and fifty of them were marked with a series of bars across theback, which had much the appearance of a huge face. The hair will never grow again over the spot that has been burned, andthe marks are made in all the best parts of the fur, so that the skin isutterly destroyed, and the seal is no longer worth killing. The pups that had been branded were very carefully watched until theyhad quite recovered from their burns, and it was found that none of themhad been injured by the branding, nor did their altered appearance seemto make any difference in their habits, nor in the friendliness of theirtribe toward them.
