cured, there is no reason why the
owners Of stock = which includes
pretty nearly every one in this region
shall not be allowed to harvest the
valuable grass crop which, otherwise,
will go to waste on the prairie. In
other words, it was believed that,
where the fencing OF stacks, etc., costs
cents, the privilege of feeding live
stock in winter on the uncut grass of
the prairie is worth dollars to the gen.
eral public. At any rate, 1t is the law
plain, clear and distinct in its pro.
visions, and backed by the affirmative
Interpretation Of the courts. Hence,
whatever may be ones opinions re.
garding the wisdom of its enactment,
the only option is to obey it or get
mixed up In an unsatisfactory and un.
profitable lawsuit. The article referred
to is quite lengthy. 1t is too long to
publish often. The question is repeat
edly coming up, and it would be well
for farmers and owners Of live stock
to clip 1t from the paper and lay It
away for future use.
