Yes, liming pays ... and Martin’s Limestone is your very best buy. It pays in
extra bushels and tons of crops; in healthier, more profitable livestock; in the
increased worth of properly limed land; and it pays in the satisfaction that
comes from doing a better job of farming.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 19,1972
A new livestock ear tag and a special setting tool, both
recently patented by Pine Tree Tag Company, are now
available.
The setting tool saves time by reducing the number of
steps it takes to install ear tags to only one. The user simply
positions the ear tag behind the setting tool blade. One
squeeze on the handies makes an incision in the animal's ear
and also inserts the tag.
The tag sticks straight out on each side of the ear, with the
trunk part of the pine tree shaped tag held in the incision.
Over three years of farm and feedlot testing of the tags
resulted in less than one per cent loss.
Pine Tree Tags are made of a medium soft plastic that is
unaffected by hot or cold temperatures. Tags come in 10
different colors, opening the way for numerous identification
combinations. The setting tool is aluminum cast with a steel
spring blade.
