ALFALFA. PASTURE,
Some Objections to It's Use. as Noted
In Missouri.


In Missouri.
The Missouri experiment station Is
credited with the following in regard
to alfalfa:
As a pasture alfalfa has many disad.
yantages. The crop makes most ex
ccllent pasture for all classes of ami
mails, but great precaution must be
taken in pasturing it. The difficulties
arise from the injury to the plants
which close cropping may cause and
to the fact that in cattle and sheep it is
liable to cause bloat. According to re
ports received from farmers over the
state, those who have attempted to
make continuous pasture Of it have
failed.
After the plants are we'll established
1t will stand much closer pasturing
than when plants are young, but care
must always be taken to prevent too
close cropping, especially with sheep,
and the number of animals allowed on
a field should therefore be limited to
several less than might be supported
Excessive trampingi especially oD
young fields or in wet weather, is very
injurious, and the crop should therefore
not be pastured in early spring. Late
fall paSturing is also harmful If the
plants are not allowed time to recuper-
ate before winter. The usual result of
continuous pasturing seems to be the
killing out of the alfalfa and the COM
ing in of blue grass.
The best method seems to be that of
intermittent rather than continuous
pasturing and then for only such time
as will prevent its being cropped too
closely. The danger from bloat may be
lessened if not entirely removed by
using care to turn the animals on for
only short periods at first and then al.
lowing them free access to good
blue grass pasture.
