also wish to add that through tho

Purduo University, Indlnnn In Tho

Tho lown Experiment Station ro
contly conducted n feeding oxporl
mont rompnrlng alfalfa liny nnd
timothy hay as a roughago for milk
production. Throughout tho com
parison, n ration of corn sllngo nnd
a grain mixture of 4 parts cracked
corn, 4 parts ground oats and 1 part
of oil meal by weight was fed. Al
falfa and timothy hny wore fed al
ternately with tho above ration. Tho
results are compared on tho basts
of valuo per ton. Whon alfalfa Is
worth $15 per ton, timothy has a
valuo of 86 cents per ton. At tho
prosont time this would mnko timo
thy hay worth about 1.50 por ton
ror milk cowa. TIiIh low valuo U
due to Its low protein content, high
percentage of flhro, low percentage
of nsh mid Inck of palntnblllty. Un
der thtso conditions It would seem
udvlnablo for dnlrymon who hnvo
only timothy hay to feed the hord, to
sell II nnd buy ulfnlfn whenever pon-mIIiIp.
Tho proper nmount of legumo
ruughngcH fed ran not he-overlooked.
Ordinarily ono pound of hny and
three pounds of silage per hundred
pounds of llvo weight of animal hi
fed dnlly. If there Is no sllngo, feed
douhln this nmount dully. Grala
must nlno bo supplied. Grain Is os
