Items: Stock raisers OF Harvey valley
are experiencing the hardest winter for a
number of years. For three weeks snow
has been lying In the valley to the depth of
one foot. Hay is scarce, and there is no

Should the snow remain a month longer, as
it probably WILL great loss will be In
evItable. Time has arrived when stock
raisers must prepare food with which to |
feed their stock during a portion of the |
winter. For good many years stock haye |
wintered themselves, but the outside range |
Is too short for stock to find a living in |
winter.
