tor. Tire grnss is becoming rotten,
aud fast losing it's natritive qualities,
and stock of all kinds ARE not doing so
well ns WAS expected from tho pros-
pects in the early fall months. When
our frat carly frosts appeared the
grass was very green and full Of the
juices essential to vigorous growth.
The freezing process cut short its
growth before its maturity, depriTlng
it of the greater portion Of starch and
other nutritious substances essential
to it's fitness for food for hcrbivcrOus
animals. Owing to tho unusual amount
of moisture retained by the soil, md
to the cold nights and rather warm
days We haye been having for fully SIX
weeks, with heavy fros's almost night
~. The frosts with which the grasses
are loaded of mornings mclts during
the day, thoroughly snturnting it with
moisture. This process of freezing,
thawng and melting soon renders all
vegetable substances submitted to 1t
perfectly rotten, and worthless as food.
Our county, however, has greatly tho
advantage of those counties west Of us
on account of our timbercd lands af
fording protection to the grasses, of
which we have great variety, some
much more hardy than others. We do
not wish to give alarm unnecessarily,
but if tho cold nights and heavy frosts
still continue. especially if it should
rain occasionally, it would DO well to
make the necessary provision to afford
sustcnnnce for tho weak ones IN the
coming spring, and thin ont the range
by selliug the marketable ones at once.
Call ut Allen & Bagley's for buggy
whips, horse collars. saddle bags, side
saddles, hardware, cartridges, and in
fact everything usually found in an es'
adjustment of this kind.
Horace Greeley was not very
"cranky' when he wrote: "lf you

you can conveniently occnpy yourself.
