Alfalfa Valuable Feeding Plant.

Alfalfa Valuable Feeding Plant
Probably the best summing up of the
value of alfalfa to American farmers is
the Experiment Station of Wisconsin,
which follows: Alfalfa has practically
the same feeding constituents, pound
for pound, as good bran, and should be
regarded as an equal to bran when
used as a feed for stock. Alfalfa yields
three times as much protein per acre
as clover, and nine times as much pro.
TEN as timothy" Taking the two state
ments together, they are Of special sig
nificance 70 dairymen, whose greatest
need is the supplying of protein in the
food to the cows at the smallest cost
possible. Leaving aside the fact that
the crop when once established can be
gathered several times during a single
season, and that it will retain its cut
ting value for years, the protein value
of it is enough to make any dairyman
take notice and to warrant him in max.
ing greater efforts than he ever before
made In growing feeding crop, to
grow alfalfa. 1t is not denied that In
some localities and on some soils ii
seems almost impossible to get stand
of alfalfa, but unless conditions are
wholly unsuited to the crop it will pay
to try and try again until success
comes, for. all things considered, it Ii
by far the most valuable of all feedina
crops of a forage nature grown OF
