ALFALFA AS A S0ILlNG CROP
Few Ratjons for All Kinds Of Farm
Animals That Cannot BE I'M
proved by Addition OF Hay.
(By W, NJ. Kelley

(bY W. IA
On most farms where only a few
acres of alfalfa can be grown success
fully. l think the most will be realized
from it, to cut the crop green and use
It for green feeding. 1t Is the pest
soiling crop that we can grow for all
kinds of farm animals. There are
few rations that cannot be improved
both in economy and efficiency by the
addition Of alfalfa.
When using it for soiling purposes
there is danger in feeding it to hungry
sheen and cattle unless fed in moder-
ate quantities after 1t has wilted. In
nv own practice l have found 1t SAFE
to allow it to become wilted before
feeding it to the sheep and cattle III
the yards and stables.
In this way we can now NOV
enough to last two or three days at q
time and haul it to the various reed
ing places for use when 1t is needed
It will keep in excellent condition II
placed in cocks as soon as it is wiitec
and covered with cloth or canvas GOV
ers. In this way it escapes drying u
brittleness and still keeps in ideal con
dition for feeding.
There is no danger in feeding wilte'
alfalfa to sheep and cattle that hav'
become gradually accustomed to cal
ing it. Many feeders give it to thei
work teams, but it requires the pes
of judgment to keep work teams !
good vigorous condition and ever
change in the line of feeding shout
be gradual.
1t is a good plan to cut and cur
the first cutting for hay and then d
pend upon the later cuttings to SUI
plement the pastures. A few acre
of this valuable forage crop shouI
be established on every stock farm.

Poorly drained bottom lands are not

Many silos will be filled with frost-

Prices of all kinds of grain are low-

Practical farmers consider 1t a

The rule for blowing under clover

After seed corn is gathered from
