Alfalfa Feeding
Alfalfa has become well nigh
indispensable to the live stock
grower of the middle west. From
comparative obscurity it baa
come into prominence during the
past iO or 15 years in a manner
never before equaled by anotner
know*- plant. In Kansas alone
the acreage of alfalfa Irisincreas-
ed from 34,388 acres in 1891 to
615,000 acres in 1906. While
especially adapted to the condi-
tions of what was known as the
semi-arid region, its great value
as a feeding crop for all kinds of
stock has been the means of in*
troducing it practically the
whole of the Southwest, and
those whe have had the greatest
experience in its use are the
loudest in its praise, where cat*
tie are finished for market, al-
falfa is the only roughage ever
used to any great extent. It is
greedily eaten by all classes of
' farm animals and is a most val-
uable feed tor all purposes. The
steer feeders and mutton pro-
ducers cf the middle west would
be lost without it. and as a means
of putting pork upon the mar-
ket at a low cost it cannot be
excelled.
The composition ot a feeding
stiff in connection with its pala-
lability and digestibility deter-
mines its value. The figures
already presented have shown
that alfalfa stands in a class bv
itself as a producer of a feed
value. Not only is this true as
to the total bulk of actual dry
matter produced per acre, but
also as to the corojiaratively
high value of tV.e particular kind
of nutrients %o plentifully pro-
duced by the plant. Indian
corn, altnough crowned ki^g of
the agricultural plants of the
Mississipdi valley, must yield
the palm to alfalfa in total di-
gestible nutrients per acre.
Bulletin No. 26 ot the Colo-
rado experiment station reports
a comparison in which one acre
of alfalfa yielded 5,611 pounds
of digestible nutrients, or ono
and a half times as much actual
digestihlo nutrient material ma-
terial as an average acre oi corn,
including the fodder as well as
the grain. It contains more
actual nutrient value, pound for
pound, than any other forage
crop, being almost iqual to
wheal bran in digestible r.utri
ents, as will be noticed by refer-
ring to the table showing com-
parisons of the digestible nutri-
ents in various feeds.
No farmer can feed alfalfa with
the best results and the greatest
amount of profit without making
some study of the composition of
the various feeds and how to
most economically combine them
for the best results or, In other
words to feed what are common
ly spoken of as ‘balanced rations*
The three geueral classes of
substances contained in our feed
stuffs, namely, the protein or
nitrogenous material, the carbo

hydrates, including as they do
the crude fiber, and the fats are
j required in fairly definite pro-
portions by the animal. If any
one is very much deficient the
best results cannot be obtained,
and excess of anyone will result
in a failure of the animal to di-
gest it, or in its wastful use.
The great value of alfalfu as a
feed for cattle became apparent
coincidentally with its earliest
introduction into Kansas. The
eagerness with which cattle ate
it and the splendid thrift and
growth following its uso were
noted at once. Cattle no longer
required grain through the win-
ter and it become unecessary to
go around mornings “tailing up"
the weakened animals unable to
rise without such assistance.

The cleanliuess of “Dora
Thorne," the powerful dramatic
success which Byers ft Weber
have sent here on the evening of j
Jan. 6th, 1909 is an clement in
the play’s favor, that has had
much to do with establishing it’s
wonderful popularity; a popular-
ity that has brought it in it’s
second year in New York and
made the engagement<* in Boston
nnd Chicago the most successful
in the history ot the cities. In
building her play; Bertha M.
Clay did not find it necessary to
uncover any phrase of life that
would be objectionable, the pol-
ished dignity of the whole play
and the eminent respectability
of it’s character from a combina-
tion which has caused theatre
goes to wish other Authors
would adopt the same style.
“Dora Thorne” which is meet
mg with remarkable success on
its tour of this country will be
seen here.
