Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1899 — Cattle Feeding on Asparagus. [ARTICLE]

Cattle Feeding on Asparagus.

Asparagus is so plentiful on the Russian steppes that the cattle eat It like grass. The seeds are sometimes dried and used as a substitute for coffee. The value of bicycles owned in Maine is $324,420. This is only $7,000 less than the value of the entire street railway properties of the State.
