WITH ALFALFA HAY AND SILAGE.
Pretty soon here in the central States, when we get to growing enough alfalfa to balance the cow ration of silage, dairymen will find that they have very much reduced the cost of producing milk, cream, and butter, although butter and cream and milk will continue selling at good prices.
Where enough alfalfa is now grown to balance with silage cow owners are feeding its advantage greatly. The day for this is not distant generally in this and the other central states. The great value of this plant is well tested by those who grow enough alfalfa to feed with their corn silage. With these things assured, we are near the time when silos and alfalfa fields will increase rapidly, for this balanced ration of both high protein and carbohydrates has been found equally fine in feeding growing young beef cattle as well. In the course of a very few years both the silos and alfalfa fields will be quadrupled, for the combination of these two is rapidly coming to be known as essential in the most economic growth and production of beef cattle and dairy products.--Indiana Farmer.

Dairymen in central states will soon reduce milk, cream, and butter production costs by balancing cow rations with alfalfa and silage, while prices remain high. This combination benefits dairy and beef cattle feeding, leading to quadrupled silos and alfalfa fields.
