At the beginning of the severe winter of 1889 and 1890, I had thirty head of horses and thirty head of cattle, but when the snow was gone I had only three or four cows and three horses left, as the others were frozen or starved to death. When it was time for seeing, my remaining horses were in such a weakened state that they could be worked for only short intervals, and it was necessary to do to about half the seeding by hand.
