Though rich In food elem ents, alfal­
fa hay must be supplem ented with a
grain m ixture If the dairy herd is to
be kept in good condition and ut the
sam e tim e produce a large am ount of
milk. This is the conclusion drawn
by the dairy departm ent of the New
Jersey S tate College of A griculture,
New Brunswick, front experim ents and
farm experiences In New Jersey and
elsewltere.
In one Instance, a dairym an of this
state claimed repeatedly thut he could
secure Just us high a produetlon from
a ration of good alfalfa hay and Arat­
elas* corn silage as from one contain­
ing also u liberal am ount of grain con­
centrates. Investigation showed, how­
ever, that he was giving the cows
large Hinounts of very choice alfalfa
ha.v and was not. forcing them to eat
It up clean, hut allowing them to pick
out only the leaves und tender parts.
The left-over stem s were fed to
horses. T his dairym an failed to ap­
preciate th a t the cows w ere not e a t­
ing alfalfa hay, but chiefly alfalfa
leaves, which contain nearly as much
crude protein us gluleu feed, and not
much more fiber than oats.
All the concentrates In a ration were
replaced by alfalfa hay In a trial at
th e New Jersey experim ent stutlon.
A ration consisting of 17.5 pounds of
alfalfa hH.v and 35 pounds of corn s i­
lage was com pared with a ration con­
taining it pounds of concentrates rich
In protein, fed with corn silage and
corn stover. T his la tte r ration was
fa r from Ideal, for it contained no
legume hay. It produced, however,
over 20 per cent more milk and but-
lerfat than the alfalfa hay and silage
ration.
In a six-year lest at the Illinois ex­
perim ent station It was found tliaT
cows fed some grain In uddltlon to
silage and alfalfa hay stayed in bet­
te r condition Ihan those fed silage und
alfulfu hay alone.

P ullets must be well developed, vig­
orous and m ust carry a surplus of
body fat If thpy are to produce heav­
ily during the w inter months.
II. C. H enderson, poultry specialist
In the South D akota S tate college ex­
tension service, says th a t pullets
which come Into laying with weak
frum cs and undeveloped bodies usual­
ly break down .under the struln of egg
production during the w inter months.
He advises a careful feeding program
for pullets so th a t they will have th e
surplus body fat so necessary to heavy
egg production.
"F eeds containing protein nnd min­
erals are essential for proper grow th
of bones, feathers nnd muscles," he
says. “Skim milk. If available In suf­
ficient quantity. Is an excellent feed.
T he birds should he given access to
the milk at all times. It can be fed
eith er In the sw eet or sour form.
“If the milk Is lim ited, p art of the
protein may be supplied through the
use of m eat scraps or tankage In a
mash m ixture."
A dry mash m ixture which H ender­
son advises for satisfactory develop­
m ent of pullets Is composed of one
part each by w eight of cornm eal,
ground heavy oats, w heat bran, Hour
middlings and tankage.
One pound of sa lt should be added
to each 100 pounds of mash. If a
lim ited am ount of milk Is available,
one-half p art of tankage may be fed
in the piash.
Dry mash should he
kept in the hoppers before the bird#
a t all times.
Grain Is necessary for the proper
storing of a reserve of fat In th e body,
states the specialist. I.ate hatched
pullets should he forced heavily with
both bran and mash to develop flesh
and bone, essential . In continuous
heavy egg production. E arly hatched
pullets, th a t are well developed and
a re coming Into Inying should be fed
heavily on grain feeds and sparingly
on dry mash. T he pullet flock must
carry a surplus of lualy flesh, obtained
prim arily from grain feeds, If they are
to give profitable w inter egg produc­
tion.
If the above am ount of feed Is
grown on the farm for each cow It
will he necessary to buy only alwtut
