Waldo County Crop Reports.
From the State Board of Agriculture Bulletin

of the county are generally permanent,
and are so rough and rocky that cultiva-
ton is out of the question. They afford
sweet. nutritious grasses, however, and
when not overstocked afford an abundance
of food for cattle. Grain is, and should
be- fed in summer as soon as the pastures
commence to fail. Commence with a
small ration of bran or some good mixed
food in August, and mix 4 couple quarts
of corn meal with it in September About
the only way we can utilize the manure
from stock at pasture is to house them
nights. I Undoubtedly farming can be sue
cessfully conducted without pasturage.
But economically considered, we think
pastures are a necessity, especially as we
have large tracts of rough land which
have been cleared of wood. In our lum-
bering operations, winters, we are con-
stantly clearing new tracts while others
grow up to forests again, SO many of our
pastures are being renewed in this way.
