The Dairyman's Friend.

Alfalfa is the dairyman's
friend, surely, if they figures
that a ton of alfalfa contains 22O
pounds of digestible protein,
which at six cents 4 pound would
be worth $500, ana, if we got
four toni to the acre, we could
have a value of $3.50. Of course,
for a dairyman to relize this

must feed judiciously and IN
proper combination with other
feeds; but if he realizes only one
halt of this amount, he is get
ting excellent returns from his
land. Wheat bran, long the
standard feed for dairy COWS,
contains only 1872 pounds .of
digestible prot1ne in every 100
