ALFALFA TEA NOT IN FAVOR
Evidence Does Not Show Any Great
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 scours. On the whole, the
practice of making this tea for live
stock should be discouraged, says the
department.
