The advantages for stock raising in
Stevens county are unsurpassed. This
fact is now recognized and the raising
OF wheat is receiving the cold shout
der. Natural grasses grow as luxuri-
antly here as in any place in the west
and afford excellent pasturage. Still
better pasturage can be obtained by
sowing tame grasses upon land that
has been cultivated for time, and
thus subdued from its natural Wild
ness. Corn, oats, barley and other
kinds of feed can be grown to advan-
tage. Then, too, water, by no means
an unimportant item, exists in abund-
ance Besides the Pomme de Terrc
river and its lesser branches, lakes are
to be found in all parts of the country.
Well water also can be obtained any
where by digging but slight depth.
Recognizing these advantages, many
of Stevens county's bonanza farm
ers are now devoting their attention
principally to stock raising. Jeffer-
son, Cogel, Jones, Watson A. Leonard,
Stanton, and many others can be
named as being among those who are
making this new departure. Another
noticeable feature is that nothing but
a superior grade of stock is being kept.
