HAY CAPS FOR ALFALFA.

Alfalfa should be raked and either pgt in the barn or if it is not sufficient ly dry, put into hay cocks. It is mat ter of economy to have two or three hundred hay caps (made of six-cent cloth one yard square) to use in case of bad weather. You may think this is considerable bother. but poor al- falfa is poor stuff, and when we re- member that good alfalfa brings us in actual results nearly as great returns as wheat bran, we can better realize the importance of taking care of 1t. If any of us had 300 hay cocks of bran in the field, we would take care of them, but with alfalfa we think of it as just hay
 These cloths may have wooden pegs or some sort of weights attached to each corner to hold them in place. the pegs can be pushed into the hay to hold the corners fast Hay caps will soon pay for themselves in finer quality of hay guaranteed by their use.

 Corn is deficient in protein and haS an abundance of starch and sugar. Neither alfalfa nor corn when Tea alone will give the best results out q combination of the two make a per feCtly balanced ration.
 A balanced ration is combination of feeds containing elements necessary for tue proper physical development or the animal. Protein, the most essen tial element in animal feed, builds the frame of the body while corn is essen tially valuable for the production or fat
