Alfalfa Syrup and Hot Cakes
Breakfast Food Sharps Strike Rich New Lead, And
Humble Haystack Looks Like Gold Mine

cage expert says that it makes as
fine a syrup as can be found on the
market
For manufacturing uses the al
falfa is cut when young every p
days. so that it is possible to get
about 12 cuttings during the South
Dakota season. This young alfalfa
is cured by artificial heat and is
made into syrup at a cost of about
23 cents per gallcn, and a fine SUI
gar for manufacturing purposes can
also be obtained
just how much alfalfa would be
worth to the grower were he to sell
it for the purpose of syrup making,
may be gained from an estimate of
production and cost According to
the chemists alfalfa contains from
33 to AZ per cent Of sugar. From
these figures it can be seen that
from ton Of hay the minimum
amount of sugar would be 666 and
the maximum $40 pounds per ton.
At a price of 4 cents per pound the
alfalfa would bring from $26.64
TO $33. 60 The cost of producing
the sugar has been figured at $S 8 2 +
for the 666 pounds and $10.50 for
the $40 pounds, SO the alfalfa would
net $1782 for the ton containing
33 per cent sugar and S23.1O for
the ton containing AZ per cent. The
price Of 4 cents given above is con
sidered low, and as q cuttings can
be made in a season, it can be
seen that the time may come when
alfalfa may be too valuable to feed
to dairy cattle and hogs even with
the profits which California is
showing from that business
