Show the winters outlook for stock thus far the outlook for winter is good the grass on the hills has cured up in splendid shape and is good as so much hay and up to date we have had no drenching rains to wash the substance out and if the weather only continues dry until cold weather comes feed will be in the best possible condition which is a big thing in the successful wintering of stock A good quality of food is of far more advantage than a great quantity of it the grass crop was good this year but owing to the number of stock that subsist upon our valleys feed is not excessively heavy but the excellent manner in which it has cured insures that stock will winter well unless we have late fall rains which is not probable and an abundance of snow which only comes occasionally S L times |
