TIMOTHY IS LOW IN PROTEIN

Farmer Can Grow— Cannot Be
Compared With Alfalfa.
More timothy hay is grown in the
United States than all other hays com
bined and yet timothy is one o f the
poorest live-stock feeds that the farm
er can raise. Its value for feeding
purposes cannot be compared with
clover or alfalfa. It Is low in protein,
the nutrient upon which farmers and
more especially dairymen must to a
large extent rely for the best' returns
from their herds; it ls not very pala

to horses, and lt has an undesirable
constipating effect upon all clnsses of
animals. Furthermore, it yields less
than clover or nlfalfa, and it Is a fer
