had wronged him and would come to

restitution.

ALFALFA As 10 FoR Hoos
Experiments at the Nebraska Station
Show Il Is Hiuhlv Valuable

experiments ~ tUC NCDraoko 1hdtlOO
Show II Is Highly Valuable
Prof. Edgar Burnett. chief Of the
department of animal husbandry OF
the Nebraska agricultural college, and
H. r. Smith, his assistant, have is
sued a short but very valuable bulle-
tin on the relative value of alfalfa,
wheat shorts and skim milk, to sup
plement corn for fattening pigs The
experiment was to show that corn can
be fed more economically in con-
junction with foods that are rich in
protein, in mineral matter and to de-
termine which of three common foods
is the cheapest source Of protein.
Twenty pigs, uniform in type, all in
good condition, were divided into four
lots, five each. They were fed some
little time on the experimental ra-
tions in order to accustom them to
the change before the initial weigh
ings were made. The pigs fed on
corn meal alone made an average gain
during the twelve weeks of seventy
eight pounds. Those fed on corn meai
and skim milk gained 1872 pounds,
while those fed on 80 per cent corn
meal, twenty per cent shorts and
those fed on eighty per cent corn meal
and twenty per cent alfalfa, made ex-
actly the same gain of 101 pounds.
The experiment shows that at the
market prices of 81 per ton for alfalfa
and shorts at $3.50 per ton, skim
milk will make corn bring four per
cent bushel. wheat, shorts, eight per
cent more and alfalfa leaves nine per
cent more. Taking the total amount
of corn that is fed to hogs in the state
of Nebraska this year, these figures
would so to Stow that more than
one million dollars more wealth would
be added to the state if wheat, shorts
or alfalfa we're substituted for one
fifth Of the corn fed
The alfalfa feed in this experiment
was mostly chaff, consisting Of leaves,
and upon analysis these we're found TO
be forty per cent richer in protein
than the entire plazt, thirty per cent
higher in fat. fifteen per cent higher
in mineral matter and fifty per cent
lower crude fiber, which substance is,
Of course, largely indigestible.
The chaff was first mixed with the
corn meal, then placed in the feed
trough, where it was made into thick
slop Of water.
In the slaughter test one hog was
selected from the alfalfa lot to repre-
sent those that we're supplied with
more protein. A pig twelve pounds
heavier was taken from the corn fed
lot. The alfalfa fed pig was quickly
identified by the thicker streaks Of
lean and thicker lines Of fat meat.
Both pigs dressed 83.7 per cent OF
their live weight The test showed
very plainly that by feeding alfalfa
a greater development of internal or
gans and more health and vigor were
obtained, and it is reasonable to be-
lieve that danger from diseases will
be greatly reduced. One Of the most
interesting features OF the test was
the fact that the thigh bones of the
alfalfa fed pigs sustained a pressure
of $40 pounds against 800 pounds from
the corn fed pig This shows that
breakdowns in heavy hogs are the
fault OF the feed rather than the ami
NAL.
