These generally grow round some
small depression in the land and the
snow drifts here in the winter and
melts in the spring filling these
sloughs (province "slews') with soft
water. Nearly all these sloughs have
old buffalo tracks to them, for it was
from them that they always got their
water. The poplars are very useful
for building barns and hen-houses.
Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame
grasses, such as timothy, bronze and
