Editor Times In looking over the
columns # the New York Tribune my at
tention was arrested by an article entitled
Grazing in Illinois," the portion of the
article most interesting to me WAS Mr..
Strawn's method of getting water. To be
brief in describing it Dig bason or 10
rods square and ten feet deep upon high
knoll feed corn in the basin to your hogs
and cattle until it is we'll puddled by the
tramping of their feet which will make it
almost water tight Mr.. Strawn says the
rains Of single winter sufiiced to accom-
MEDIATE several hundred head of stock and
that it had been dry but once in twelve
years. The experiment is well. worth try
