the hay in the feed yard
to the replacing of grain with alfalfa
In rations for dairy cows Indicated
that one and one-half pounds Of alfal-
ia will replace one pound Of wheat
bran. The tests showed that with al
falfa hay at $40 a ton and wheat bran
at $50 the saving effected by substi-
tuting alfalfa for wheat bran Is $3.50
for every hundred pounds Of butter
aud nearly 90 cents for every hundred
pounds Of milk.
Alfalfa forms probably the best
roughage for fattening cattle, as its
lack Of bulkiness enables the animals
to consume sufficient quantities for
rapid gains. 1t Is also very valuable
for young growing stock before the
fattening period begins
Alfalfa Is an ideal hay for sheep. but
Is apt to cause bloat II used as pastur-
age. 1t is the custom throughout the
mountainous regions OF the west to
pasture the sheep on the wild grasses
in the mountains during the summer
and then drive them to the valleys dur
ing the winter to be fed on alfalfa hay.
AS an instance of its value for sheep
in the east the experience of the Wing
brothers. in Ohio. may be cited. Spring
lambs cost them 81 per hundred
pounds when alfalfa WAS not used In
the ration as compared with $3.50 per
hundred when alfalfa formed the prin-
cipal part of their feed.
Alfalfa is fed to hogs for the most
part In the green state as Il soilinS
crop or as pasture. The hay. however,
constitutes n maintenance ration for
hogs during the winter, and when fed
on 1t sows enter the spring farrowing
season In excellent condition. Wher-
ever possible brood Sows should secure
alfalfa at least during the latter por-
ton OF the period Of CESSATION.
At the Kansas agricultural expert
ment station It has been shown that
an acre of alfalfa produ ed 40 pounds
Of pork during the season. In another
experiment II was shown that for
every buShel of kattir corn meal and
7.S3 pounds OF alfalfa hay the hogs
made II gain of loss pounds When
the alfalfa was withheld from the I'll.
ton the gain was only 7.iS pounds for
each bushel Of grain fed.
Alfalfa may be fed to horses both In
the green state and as hay. Instances
are on record where horses have per
formed heavy work during the sum
mer season on nothing but green al
falfa. Many persons hold that the
kidneys are unduly stimulated by al
falfa, but this does not appear to be
well substantiated by experimental
data.
The principal drawback to the pas
turing Of cattle and sheep on al1a!ih
is their tendency to bloat. This dan
ger can, however, be reduced to Il min

Cleanliness In the Dairy.

There Is no excuse for having sedi-
ment at the bottom of milk vessel
after It has stood for awhile. 1t does
not matter whether milk, cream. but
ter or cheese is the ultimate product
for sale. Any filth in the milk Will
ruin the chances Of Il successful bust
ness in either case. Cleanliness Is the
one great thing in successful dalrying.
Have preparations made for the thor
ough straininG and careful handling or
milk In the most clearly manner.

ALFALFA FOR
LIVE STOCK

In a bulletin on alfalfa recently Is
sued by the department Of agriculture
the writer says Of Its value: Alfalfa Is
one of the most highly nutritious and
palatabl of feeds for all classes OF
farm animals either IN the form or
green alfalfa or as hay Dairy cows
require high protein feeds in order to
produce profitable flows Of milk. These
can be supplied by feeding nonlegumi-
nous roughage and such concentrates
as bran and cornmeal. Such concen-
trates are expensive, however. and can
be replaced by feed like alfalfa. Ex-
periments made by the Tennessee agri-
cultural experiment station in regard

Is drawn from the cow and not allow
ed to stand or 1t will get cold, and
young calf must have warm milk or
Its stomach is likely to get out Of
order.
1t will depend largely Oh the calf US
to the length of time that 1t should
have whole milk. Ordinarily this Is
from two to three weeks. The change
from new to skimmilk must not be
made too radical, but gradually. At
least week should be consumed In
making the change. This is u critical
period In the life Of a calf. 1t should
not be given any more skimlnilk than
new milk, for 1t will not digest any
more. and If more be fed its stomach
is almost sure to be upset. AS the
change is made from new or whole
milk to skimmilk Il few dry whole oats
with little oilmeal should be given;
also little bright hay.
Where Several calves occupy the
same box stall stanchions should be
provided to contine them while eating.
They are much easier to feed and
then each one gets its share, and there
is no sucking after the milk is fed II
the grain Is fed as soon as they get
through drinking the milk they will 60
to eating 1t and forget all about suck
ing, when the stanchion can be opened.
The feed should he increased very
gradually. Better feed too little than
too much. There will be time that
the calves will not seem to grow much
when they are first got on to SKIM
milk. Don't make the mistake and
think that they are not getting enough
and begin feeding more, for the
chances are that trouble will be the
result.
Calves that are intended for beef can
be benefited by the addition OF little
shelled corn, but those that are to be
raised for the dairy will make better
COWS If not kept too fat never care
to show my calves that are dairy bred
before they are six months old, for the
average farmer would go away with
the impression that they lacked feed.
For years after | began farming l

always were fat and sleek, but they

A Vaque Idea.

During his first visit to farm little
Willie came into the house crying
softly.
What Is the matter. dearT" asked
his mother.
II went out to see the cows, and
they didn't give nothing but milk"
sobbed the boy.
"v'hat did you expect?" inquired the
mother.
"I'm not sure what l expected" re-
piled Willie, "but, mother, where does
beef tea come from9"-Judge.

CLAN Pals For Calves.

Filthy pals have caused more deaths
TO calves than lack of food during
the milk stage of calf's life. An
abundance Of good milk will not COM
pensate nor furnish an excuse for the
use of filthy pals. Germs are dan
gerous. and u well cared for pail Will
be free from germs. Filth is wholly
unbelievable in the calf business.

BUSINESS STARTS
AT Milwaukee
DOCK

Business started at the Ocean
dock of the Milwaukee yesterday,
when the Admiral Sampson load
ed two carloads of cattle hides
and sheep pelts, shipped by the
Milwaukee railway from Harlow
town, Mont, to this city, for trans
portation to San Francisco.
The new docks were not quite
ready and no crew was on hand
to handle the goods but the Adj
miral Sampson ran up to the dock
and Traffic Agent Calkins soon
got a bunch of men together and
the ship was loaded with due
speed.
The Watson will be In in day
or two to load more freight and
in a few days the Milwaukee
docks will be as busy as any of
them handling freight.
