water for washing.
Adopt at least one active out

swimming, tennis, golf, horseback
riding or canoeing.
Go hareheaded. Even though
the sun may bleach your hair. IT

holiday with a friend along to
tighten your loneliness and share

and declares 'the broad principle in

to make arbitrary decisions against

AS Green Manuring Crop
Rive Holds a High Place

Rye does not make use of atmos-
pheric nitrogen as does the legume
crops and for that reason it gives back
to the soil only the nutriments which
ii takes from it. Its greatest value as
a green manuring crop is its ability to
return large amounts of organic matter
to the soil which improves its mechan-
ical condition. moisture capacity, etc.
Rye should not be allowed to grow
until 1t reaches a large size before it is
turned under because it will exhaust
the moisture supply and thereby lnjure
the following crop. In some soils
there is also danger of getting so much
organic matter from crop of rye that
unless it is turned under early and
allowed TO begin decomposition the
excessive amount of material turned
under will interfere with the move
ment of the soil moisture.

Most Profitable Crops
for Hav and Pasturage

Alfalfa is the most profitable hay
crop that can be grown In this state
1t does best on soils that are fairly
we'll drained and in fair state of fer
tility and that are not acid Only
adapted hardy seed should be used.
Grimm Is especially well adapted to
Michigan conditions while Cossack,
Ontario Variegated, Northern Grown
and High Altitude Common usually
give good results
Sweet clover is gaining very rapidly
as a pasture crop. On the other hand,
alfalfa Is frequently used for pasture
purposes
The seed should be inoculated. Ma
terial for incubation may be secured
from the department Of bacteriology,
East Lansing, Mich. The price is %
cents per bottle and each bottle con-
tains sufficient material to inoculate
a bushel Of seed Full directions for
application accompany the material.
The spray of the orchard should not
in any way lessen the feeding value
of the hay.-C R. Mcgee, Associate

DAIRY
ALFALFA HAY BEST
FOR DAIRY CATTLE

Alfalfa hay proved superior to SUI
dan hay as a feed for dairy cattle at
the Hays (Kans.) experiment station
in the third trial comparing the merits
of the two feeds, according to the re-
port given by Prof. j. B. Fitch at the
annual Kansas roundup.
This trial, conducted during the past
year at the Hays station, gave results
agreeing with those obtained In the
first trial when cows fed alfalfa hay,
kaflr silage and grain In proportion to
milk production produced ID per cent
more milk each day than the same
cows when sudan hay was substituted
for alfalfa hay.
In the second trial, however, the
cows fed sudan hay, kafr silage and
liberal grain ration produced slightly
more milk each day than the same
cows when. alfalfa hay was substituted
for the sudan hay.
Eight Holstein cows were used In
the third trial. They averaged 575
pounds of milk and 215 pounds of but
terfat daily while fed alfalfa hay as
compared with 511 pounds of milk and
1877 pounds of butterfat on sudan hay.
"Cows fed alfalfa hay, kafir silage,
and liberal grain ration, produced
per cent more milk and 10 per cent
more butterfat than the same cows
when fed sudan hay" said Professor
Fitch in summarizing the results of
the third experiment. 1.-THE body
weights of the cows were practically
constant during the three periods. The
alfalfa hay was consumed in larger
amounts than was the sudan hay.
"In two Of the three feeding trials
dairy cattle at the Hays station, al
falfa has proved to be better than SUI
dan. In the trial where sudan proved
better than alfalfa, the alfalfa hay
was Of inferior quality. In all three
trials the liberal grain ration and the
relatively short feeding periods appar-
emily have reduced the difference be-
tween alfalfa hay and sudan hay. This
statement is made as the result Of a
large number of feeding trials with
dairy cows comparing feeds similar to
those used in this experiment. Alfalfa
hay and sudan have practically the
same amount of digestible protein as
has sudan. The quality of the protein in
alfalfa is also superior to that from
other hay crops and grains that have
been compared experimentally to date.
AS a source of minerals for dairy
cows the legume hays, and especially
alfalfa, are of special Importance. To
maintain milk production and body
weight over a large period of time
when on sudan hay cows must be fed
grain ration containing a protein
supplement. In regions where alfalfa
cannot be grown and where 1t is high
in price 1t is desirable to feed three or
four pounds of alfalfa daily to dairy
cows as an additional source of min
erals and for the protein it contains"
