What is trash?

be paint, but 1t isn't worth painting
It costs a painters days work to put
on a gallon of paint, good or bad; and

SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
Sixty Per Cent. Of the Feeding Value
of Alfalfa in the leaves-Hay
Should be Cut at Right Time
and Cured so as to Preserve
the Leaves.

OF the entire alfalfa plant, accord
ing to Kansas bulletin 155. the stalk
comprises 60 per cent. and the leaf
40 per cent, whereas the quantity OF
the protein in the stalk is only 40 per
cent, while the protein in the leaf is
60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per
cent. of the fat is to be found In tho
stalk, while 80 per cent. is in the leaf.
1t is, therefore, very important that
alfalfa be harvested at the proper
time, and carefully handled SO that
all the leaves will be saved.
When possible to do so it Is best to
cut alfalfa late in the afternoon OF
evening. Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure it. Where a
tedder is used it should be started in
the morning as soon as most OF the
dew is off and before there is any daa=
ger OF knocking off the leaves. 1t Ia
often advisable to go over it more
than once.
Alfalfa hay is harvested and cured
in much the same way as clover, ex'

the young sprouts or shoots start to

When alfalfa is left too long without
cutting, the leaves fall on and the
stems become woody, and the yield Of
the next crop is greatly reduced.
