HAYINa Nv SOUTH DAKOTA.
A Mig Contrast Between the weather Thir
Yenr and That OF Last Winter.

ABERDEEN. 8. D.. Jan. "a year ago tho
Dakotas and Minnesota were hidden under four
or flve feet of snow; trains were not running,
long lines were abandoned for the rest Of the
winter, mail routes were desolatc, and roads all
over three States were Impsssable.
This week farmers in this part OF South
Dakota. and probably elsewhere rs we'll. have
been haying with as much profit in Juno.
The roads are smooth as asphalt pavements,
all over the wide prairies bicycle centuries
arc tho fashion. and the winter feed that was
put up in the fall remains untouched. Never
was there q greater contrast In the weather of
two successive winters
The grass Of these prairies Of the old buffalo
country, where the bison used to rove In count.
less millions and thrive In winter as well as in
summer. is different from that OF the Eastern
States. There tho first frosts drive from tho
grass all its juices, leaving IL devoid OF nutri-
ment. Here the processes Of nature cure the
grass long before frosts come and 1t remains on
the ground as nutritious as in summer and as
valuable as the most perfectly cured hay, so
that cutting in winter, IL the weather permit,
gives as good results as at any other season.
Cattle all over the Northwestern ranges. from
eastern South Dakota to the foothills Of the
Itockies get their winter fee >, so long as the
snow 10 not so deep as to prevent their paving
1t off, from the st ,nding grass, grazing as they
travel. as did the buffaloes of earlier days, and
in ordinary seasons they come out in the spring
fat, and requiring only q little finishing for
