Use
The Staff can be used when you reach The Cow King's Grave while it is in your inventory. You can get to the grave by exiting New Tristam through the gate or by taking The Old Ruins waypoint in Act 1. Once you arrive at the The Old Ruins, head west following the path until you reach a glowing crevice with cow bones next to it. This is the Cow King's Grave.

The Ghost of The Cow King will then appear, and speak to you. After he is done, the big crevice will start glowing rainbow colors instead of just pink. Now you should click the crevice. Adventure Awaits....
