ALFALFA neglected
BY SHEEP BREEDERS
When Carefully Ped and Pas
tured Hay Is One of Best
Roughages for Animals.

Alfalfa, when carefully fed and pas
tured, is one Of the best roughages for
sheep, In the opinion of A. NJ. Pater-
son. instructor m animal husbandry In
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"The rapid increase in the ,produc-
tion Of alfalfa in the United States
during recent years has resulted in
more careful study of its possibilities

now 1t is used widely as q feed for
horses, swine. and sheep.
LESS use has been made of alfalfa
for sheep, however. than for any other
class Of live stock. Experience and
experiments have shown its wonderful
value as sheep feed. Its value. for
this purpose will be still greater in the
future than at present.
"When alfalfa is pastured great care
should be taken to prevent bl0at, Il
the alfalfa has become woody or Il
mixed with other grasses the danger
Is somewhat lessened. Care should be
taken at all times, however. Before
turning the sheep on alfalfa they
should be filled up on hay. fodder, OF
other roughage, and turned out only
when the alfalfa is free from moisture
of any kind.
"They should be allowed to pasture

"The amount Of alfalfa fed will de-
pend upon the price and the amount

rigation project $500 ton for alfalfa
hay In the stack Is considered q good
price. This figure was adopted by the
investigators In their experiments.
and they fixed the value OF corn ut
$1.07 hundredweight and OF gains of
pork at Z cents n pound. The labor
cost Of caring for the hogs wns as
sumed to be the same as that Of har-
vesting the hay crop.
On this basis 1t was found that the
net return per acre ranged from $45.OS
when the hogs had nothing but alfalfa
to $16S.25 when they were fed In ad-
dition a 3 per cent ration of corn. The
rate Of gain and the carrying capacity
Of the pasture Increased with the guam
tity Of grain fed. As supplement 1t
was found that ground barley was ap-
proximately as efficient, pound for
pound, MS shelled corn.
BY allowing the hogs to Craze the
alfalfa 1t was found that they re-
turned In pork an equivalent of from
$S.16 to $30.4S for each ton of hay
that would otherwise have been har-
vested from the alfalfa fields. The
lowest figure. $S.16, is considerably
higher than the market prices for al-
falfa hay, and the highest figure.
$30.4S, obtained when the hogs re-
ceived per cent ration Of corn, is
obviously much more than the farmer
could hope to obtain from any other
method Of disposIng Of his alfalfa
crop.
The practice Of hogging down corn
proved to be much more profitable
when hogs had access to alfalfa pas
ture as well. In two years. expert
ments the average gain without the
pasture. was placed at $52.OS per acre.
whereas with alfalfa pasture 1t rose
to $65.1O. Put In another way, II was
found that without supplementary feed
hogs paid $1.34 per hundredweight Of
corn and $1.55 when they had alfalfa
pasture as well. With the use OF tank
age instead of alfalfa. the return was
$1.5O per hundredweight of corn. It II
evident. therefore, that the use Of
either alfalfa or tankage with corn re-
suits in more rapid and cheaper gains
than when the hogs are turned Into
the corn and receive no other feed,

War Bread Suggested
To Save u. S. Wheat
100000 Bushels Annually
Said To Be Wasted in
White Flour

Professor o. s. Morgan, head Of the
Department Of Agriculture at Columbia
University, says that the nation should
get 10 fundamental war economies
at once by substituting whole wheat
bread for white bread. If this were
done. he declares. it will mean using
SO per cent wheat in -four instead Of
73 per cent and ar immediate saving
Of 900, 1000 bushels OF wheat annually.
Gan appeal should be made to the
milling companies 10 put war bread on
the market at reasonable price he
adds, "and to advertise their product.
As long as the present whole wheat
costs more than the white bread. the
public cannot be expected 10 buy what
really is the best kind FOR them TO eat.
1t is going TO be a difficult thing TO get
the millers to put war bread on the
market. Il would mean a great change
in their business and they would be
facing the possibility that the public
would not purchase their new product.
Bakers would also hesitate to use war
bread -four If there is chance that
the people will not want TO give up
their white bread.
"a public demand for war bread has
20 be stimulated. Every person should
realize that it would be patriotic ser
vice 10 refuse TO eat white bread, but
instead demand first grade whole
wheat bread at a reasonable cost.
"By putting prohibitive tax on -four
made from only 70 per cent Of the
wheat the Federal government would
be able TO put the nation on a war
bread basis. This would force the
millers 10 make whole wheat bread out
Of wheat which weighs sixty pounds 10
the bushcl instead OF out of wheat
which weighs only forty pounds to the
bushel. It would put who e wheat
bread on the market instead OF the
Inferior kind.
another possibility TO augment the
food supply is the greater use OF corn
IN the form OF bread. Al present you
90, cot "a much food value from Sl.5O
worth Of corn as you can from S2.1V
worth Of wheat"
