We have a railroad in good condition pk-
tending from the county seat Woodyillo, to
the Mississippi river at Bayou sara Ia Tho
same river forms the western boundary of
the county along which are many steamboat
landings.
In a large portion of the county cattle and
sheep are never fed winter nor summer find
ing abundant food in our native and uatu-
rallied grasses, coyers, etc. With lituo
effort our pastures furnish grazing through
out the year Many families make AN their
pork without having 10 feed any grain. and
have vegetables from their gardens al al
times
We have had fine grazing OF red clover,
orchard, red-top, blue and foscuo grasses dur-
ing the entire winter past aud we have
already had n good moving of red clover.
Our white clover has furnished good grazing
for the last three months and other pasture
grasses, including the Bermuda, are now u
full growth. We are now harvesting frscue
grass seed. This grass is excellent feed and
grows most luxuriantly from September t5
May.
