VALUE OF ALFALFA
AS HORSE FEED
Considerable Experiment Work
Done by Utah and Illinois
Stations, With Crop.

The Utah experiment station has
been doing considerable work to prove
the value of alfalfa as a feed for horses
and makes the following statement re-
garding it:
I'm comparing alfalfa and timothy as
roughages for horses, the result of six
tests under varying conditions of work
show that it is not as difficult to main
tain weights of horses when fed alfalfa
as when fed timothy. The cost of
maintenance was greater in every
case, except one, on timothy than on
alfalfa. The appearance of the horses
in every comparison of alfalfa and
timothy was; in favor of the alfalfa fed
horses" -
The Illinois experiment station has
made this statement in reference to
alfalfa: = .''.
when alfalfa hay is fed as the
roughage part Of a ration for farm
horses at hard work, less grain is nee
essary to- prevent them from losing
weight than when timothy hay is fed
In this test there was a saving of
about twenty-five per cent. of grain
We may add that in most instances
where men have failed to get the de.
sired results in the feeding, of alfalfa
hay to horses or mules, that too much
has been given them, says, Hoard's
Dairyman. The government has con-
Quoted quite number Of tests with
alfalfa, but they could not get some of
the men to follow instructions as to
the proper amount of alfalfa to feed
and had to put them in the guard
house.. It is reported they fed a
weeks supply of alfalfa in three days
We. do not know that it is necessary to
infer that guard houses should be es-
tablished in the country in order TO get
farrSers to see the Importance of not
feeding too much alfalfa hay to horses
or mules.

The mother being all right and the
lamb trying to suck, the next thing tx
do is to. examine her udder and see
that both nipples are free from any OBJ

Any loose wool around the uddel

danger of lambs getting some in theii

eve is in the pen with her lamb is tc
examine her feet, and in the case. of
lamb eve, the hoof to be pared back

HOW TO MAKE GREATEST PROFIT
FROM BEEF PRODUCTION IN GEORGIA
BY sou Georgia Agriculture

Hon can the Southern farmer engage
in beef production most economically
and secure the largest returns in the
least time? The answer is, put the
animals on the market by the time
they are "a months old, and rasse
only those that are of the beef type.
A good sire from pure bred hero
will serve for laying the foundation.
BY crossing with native cows, the
calves produced will lay on flesh more
rapidly and economically than the or
binary breeds and will "kill out" bet
ter In the hands of the butcher.
The heifer calves from these crosses
should be kept for breeding purposes.
1t is better that the beef calves should
be born In the winter or early spring
and permitted to suckle the COW and
go out and learn to Craze with them,
so that at weaving time they will be
able to gather their own food and con-
tinue to grow without material setback.
OF course, this is different practice
from that used in connection with the
dairy herd.

SOME FACTS ABOUT GEORGIA CHICKENS

eggs will be larger and more uniform
in size, shape and color, they will
breed truer and will sell for more
money.
The pure-bred or standard bred
chicken need not be a show bird. In
fact the money-making chicken for
the average farmer is the standard
bred utility fowl.
In the second place the selecting
and packing of eggs has much to do
with prices that they command Geor-
gia farmers are too careless in this
respect. One poor egg will affect the
price which the other eleven of the
dozen can bring.
This department of the College of
Agriculture has issued a bulletin
on poultry-raising, just such a bulle-
tin of general information about which
many inquiries are being received. 1t
is for free distribution, and it is
hoped will be helpful to all classes of
poultry-raisers as well as the farmer.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-03-18

Georgia has ideal natural conditions
for raising poultry. The absence of
the long, cold winter of the north, the
comparatively simple and inexpensive
poultry houses needed, the fact that
green food can be grown in the runs
almost all the time during the year, to-
gether with the splendid poultry mar
kets of the state, give the Georgia
poultryman decided advantage over
their northern neighbors.
Georgia ranks sixteenth among poul-
try states in egg-production, but in the
value of eggs, according to the census,
indicating clearly that Georgia is not
getting as much for its eggs as it
ought.
One of the ways by which Georgia
can get more for its eggs and also
more eggs from its hens, is to use
pure bred chickens. The pure breds
cost no more to keep, they grow fast
er, the eggs are more uniform in size
and color, they will lay more eggs, the
