ALFALFA TEA NOT IN FAVOR
Advantage to Be Gained by Use of Liquor.

Alfalfa tea, made by pouring boil ing water on hay and allowing it to steep for a few hours, or by stirring alfalfa meal into cool water and straining the mixture after several hours, has been highly recommended from time to time for feeding young animals, but the evidence reviewed by the United States Department of Agri- culture does not show any great ad- vantage to be gained through the use of this liquor. Some experiment sta tions have found that pigs made better gains when cornmeal and middlings were mixed with alfalfa tea rather than water, but the additional gains were hardly enough to pay for the in- creased expense. Calves fed alfalfa tea made poor gains and suffered much from SCOUTS. On the whole, the practice of making this tea for live stock should be discouraged, says the department.
