The growing and feeding OF alfalfa
to all kinds Of livestock is steadily on
the increase in this county. Expert
ments in other states where this ex-
cellent forage plant has been grown
for many years have proven that there
are Two ways of feeding the hay. and
one Of these ways practically does
away with all waste. On many ranches
the hay is chopped fine and blown or
Tacked into a structure built on the
lines Of a granary. When the chopped
alfalfa is blown into the structure il
packs down like bran and it is sur
prising how large a stack can be pack
ed away into a small space. This fine
ly chopped alfalfa is fed 10 hogs in
a trough and TO horses and cattle in a
manger. Experiments made with two
tons Of loose hay, followed by two tons
OF chopped alfalfa. have shown that
three cow were fed on the chopped
ration more than ten days longer than
on the loose hay. and it is within the
bounds OF reason 10 assume that the
waste resulting from the method OF
feeding loose hay represents 20 per
cent Of the shortage.
