another fort, situated at the landward

The information impaired at the va

attended by Professor Douglas L. Fow-
Ter regarding the superiority OF alfalfa
as food for stock is Of great value. 1t
has been established beyond question
that alfalfa hay, mixed with wheat
straw, possesses all the properties COM
bined in the best oat, wheat or barley
hay, including the cereal itself usually
fed to work stock. Hence the farmer
who feeds his stock nothing but straw
and alfalfa hay mixed gives the same
quality Of bone and sinew, fat and
DEMONSTRATING food as the man who
feeds both ordinary hay and ground
barley, oats or wheat, and at less than
half the cost. Alfalfa ensilage, when
fed to mich cows, combines the sue
culent qualities Of green grass, the
bone, muscle and butter fat making
properties of bran. ground barley or
other grain, and hence it is the best
food that can be used. The most pro-
pressive farmers are those who have
found that it does not pay to compete
with foreign competitors in wheat
growing, and they are now taking mp
diversified farming and devoting more
study to the cultivation Of alfalfa and
classified products.
