Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 83, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1911 — A GOOD WINTER FOR STOCK. [ARTICLE]

A GOOD WINTER FOR STOCK.

Crown Point Star: John Brown claims this is the best winter .for feeding stock they have ever experienced. They figured at the ranch last fall that they had about hay enough to feed their horses, 100 head of steers and 4,000 sheep, but thus far the cattle and sheep have done well in the stalk fields, and for quite a time they have been pressing and shipping hay to the stock yards in Chicago. The frozen ground, with no snow, and no extreme cold has put their stock through the winter thus far in fine shape at a very little expense, and this following the great crop raised last year makes them feel they are being fairly dealt with. The general verdict in Lake county is that this has been as good a winter as we ever experienced.
