The Weeping Willow as Fodder.
» The weeping willow in the Hastings district, says the Standard, is of considerable value for other than ornamental and shelter purposes. Large numbers of trees are now being denuded of their branches for food purposes, sheep, cattle, and horses being very fond of the leaves. After the leaves and tender branches are fed off, the limbs are dried and used for firewood, and in due course the tree again springs forth fresh branches, to probably undergo the same process at some future time. i- - —
