ALFALFA VERSUS WILD HAY.
Experiments Prove Alfalfa Is a Bet
ter Milk Producer.

The experiment station of Ne
br:s ska has been conducting an in
teresting series of experiments with
dairy cows. Aft n they had been on
dry feed for eight weeks and were
In normal feeding condition,
twelve were selected and divided
into two-lots. In making the divi-
sion, care was taken to have e:ch
lot about equal as to production of
milk and butter fat Lot one was
put on ration of alfalfa hay and lot
two on wild hay. Besides all the hay
they would eat up clean, each lot
received sixteen pounds of beta
daily and a small grain ration. One
: lot was fed alfalfa, and the other
wild hay for six weeks and then
changed abo ii, Let one getting wild
hay and loo two alfalfa for another
period of six weeks
Daring the first period the lot fed
Oh alfalfa produced 12O.11 pounds
OF milk more than the lot fed on wild
hay. IN the second period there was
diff erence of 20.14 pounds IN favor
of the alfalfa. Lot one, when fed on
alfalfa daring the first six weeks,
produced 5,0S2.40 pounds of milk
and during the second period. when
fed on Eiid hay, produced 4,760.20.
Lot two. iring TIE first period
when fed on wild hay, produced A.
962.29 pounds and during the sec
ond period, when fed on alfalfa,
4,780.34 POUNDS. The decrease of
milk and butter production in the
second six weeks of the test was
largely due to the natural shrinkage
from advance In lactaticn, but it will
be noticed that the shrinkage was
greater when wild hay was fed.
When lot two was changed from
wild hay TO alfalfa in the starting of
the second six eeks, they were at a
disadvantage, having been reduced
In the first six weeks test. 1t Is
therefore safe to assume that alfalfa
gave even better results than is
shown in the figures. The quality OF
both alfalfa and wild hay was of the
best. The animals in both lots had
free access to water and salt during
I'll experiment. 1t required a little
more wild hay than alfalfa hay. This
was due TO the larger per cent. of
waste in the former. In live weight
the animals changed but slightly,
showing a little increase when on al
falfa. 1t is evident from the results
of the experiment that normally
curt, alfalfa hay is more conducive
to milk and bitter production than
wild hay.-Fisli and Farm.

Road Improvement I'm Idaho.

In a report, recently issued, State
Engineer James Stephenson, Jr.,
suggests that the counties should be
compelled to assume at least a por-
ton of the expense necessary to
keep the State roads in repair. In
view of the fact that some of the
State roads are in forest reserves
and are damaged materially by the
stock pastured within the reserves.
and that as the forestry service re-
ceives revenue from the pasturage OF
such stock IL should be memorialized
to devote portion of 1t to the main
tanning of the roads within the re-
serves. He further suggests that In
case the counties cannot, or will not.
keep the State roads in repair that
toll privileges might be arranged for,
the proceeds of which should be
used in keeping the roads in repair.
The appropriation for the conduct
of the office of the State Engineer
for the past two years was $1,000. II
was found that at the close of that
business period the receipts will be
nearly S11 900, thus making the Of
fee more than 3elf-sustaining.
