Wallace county : "Good results with all stock. Let it cure twelve hours 

 for cattle or horses; fresh for hogs." 



Jefferson county: "Good with swine. Be careful with cattle." 



Neosho county: "Can be fed to cows in small quantities, without 

 'bloat' if wilted." 



Dickinson county: "Get better results with hogs." 



Montgomery county: "Sometimes for brood sows penned up for far- 

 rowing." 



Saline county: "Good for horses and hogs, but dangerous for cattle." 

 Harper county: "Satisfactory for beef steers." 



Labette county: "Not so good with hogs as pasturing. Milk cows re- 

 spond well to this feed." 



Doniphan county: "Was very soft and caused scours." 



Mitchell county: "Causes horses to become soft and liable to colic." 



Montgomery county: "Good for hogs. Use care with other stock. Too 

 loosening of the bowels for horses." 



Norton county: "Too washy." 

 Reno county: "Very washy." 



Montgomery county: "Too loosening for horses. All right for cattle 

 in small doses." 



Rawlins county: "Very good, but prefer letting horses and hogs run 

 in it." 



Russell county: "Good for hogs, but not as good as pasture." 



Osage county: "About the same as pasturing, but it is poor practice, as 

 it makes extra work and is a sure way to ruin a stand, cutting it out of 

 season." 



Pottawatomie county: "It is apt to kill the stand, cutting immature." 



Harvey county: "Good, but labor is too expensive." 



Mitchell county: "Good for sows, though an expensive method." 



Allen county: "Good, but it takes too much time."
