Dodge City Co1Cb0r The CoW5Ov is
pleased to learn that stOCkmRn in Hodge
man and Ness counties have put up large
quantities of stock feed this season. The
grass in the draws has been unusually
rank this year, making the best Of hay.
The late rains have undoubtedly injured
the range grass, washing out the SUBJ
stance and promoting the growth of new
grass. We may be visited with another
hard winter, with poor grazing on the
range. Most Of the Kansas ranges are
necessarily small. There is on excuse |
now why the cattle should not be well
sheltered and fed through the winter.
