FEEDING ALFALFA MEAL 10 DAIRY COWS An experiment to determine the value of alfalfa meal as a substitute for grain in feeding dairy cows has just been completed at the State College Dairy. One of the chief diffi culties in feeding a dairy herd in the Palouse country is the problem of grain feed. The market price for grain such as oats, barley, rye or corn is usually high. No such con centrates such as linseed meal or other meals are produced here and if shipped in these are very expensive because of high freight charges. Mill feeds, such as bran and shorts, are scarce and a regular supply of these is rarely available. The use of alf alfa meal, as a substitute' for grain, has been found very satisfactory In feeding several kinds of live stock in the Mississippi valley states an.) it seemed desirable to ascertain whe ther it could not be' used as a dairy feed in the Palouse country. A car load of "Sunnybrook Dairy Feed," a feed composed of approxi mately 80 per cent of ground alfalfa and 20 per cent molasses, was pur chased from the Garden City Milling Company of Walla Walla, at a cost of $24.50 per ton delivered in Pull man. This feed is. of course, not straight alfalfa meal; but has very nearly the same composition (the nu tritive value of molasses and of alf alfa being quite similar) and is much more pleasant to handle and feed because of its entire freedom from dust, making it unnecessary to , wet t.' steam the meal fora ling i it in the dairy barn. Twelve cows were selected from the dairy herd for the experiment. Only cows Which were In about the middle of their period of lactation were taken in order to avoid any very considerable change in the flow of milk because of early or late lacta tion. For the grain ration, a mixture of equal parts of oats, wheat and barley ground together was used. At th.' prevailing market [trices at the time, the cost of this grain chop was 'in per ton. The cows were all I". .1 corn silage and mixed hay for roughage, the amounts of these be ing maintained the same throughout tin- experiment. For a preliminary period of twenty days till twelve of 1 In' cows were fed grain chop; for a second period of twenty days six cows (lot one) were fed the "Sunny brook" dairy feed in place of the grain (using the same weight of alf alfa meal for each cow as she had previously received of grain chop) while the other six (lot 2) were con tinued on the grain ration. At the end of the twenty days lot 1 was (hinged to the grain ration and lot 2 to the alfalfa meal. Parly in the second twenty day period two of the cows which were eating the •'Sunny brook" dairy feed showed a slight tendency to bloat. On this account it was decided to mix some bran with the alfalfa meal. One part bran to three parts dairy feed were mixed a id this mixtured use used through out the balance of the experiment. The bran cost $21 per ton so that the cost of the mixture was approxi mately $23.50 per ton. The yields of milk obtained throughout the trial were as follows; Lot 1. Lot 11. Lbs. P. C. Lbs. P C. Milk Decrease Milk Decrease First period, all on grain: 2570.7 2938.8 Second period, lot 1, alfalfa meal; lot 2 grain: 2758.6 3.9 2773.9 7.0 Third period, lot 1 grain; lot 2 alf alfa meal: 2252.6 3.83 2712.S 2.2 It will be observed that both lots show a continuous decrease in flow of milk because of the advance in period of lactation, but that in each Instance the percentage of decrease was least while the cows were re ceiving the alfalfa meal instead of (he grain ration according to the flow of milk they were giving but to each cow the same' weight of alfalfa meal and bran was given that she received of grain chop during the other periods of the trial. The results of the trial showed, therefore, that a slightly better flow of milk was ob tained when using the mixture of "Sunnybrook" dairy feed and bran at a cost of $23.50 per ton than from the same weight of grain chop at a cost of $30 per ton. Since the con clusion of the experiment the use of the grain chop has been abandoned and the entire herd of twenty-six milking cows are now being fed alf alfa meal ami bran mixture with very satisfactory results. It appears, therefore, that, alfalfa meal may very profitably be substituted for grain in the feeding of dairy cows in the Halouse country. R. W. Thatcher, Head of Depart ment of Agriculture, W. S. C. $s;{ PKII ACRE. is Average Price Paid for 1000 Acres Near Thornton. One thousand acres of Palouse land, the property of John De Young, situated two miles west of Thornton, was sold at public auction last Sat urday and brought an average of $83 per acre, one tract of 320 acres be ing bid In at $101 per acre. The land was sold by G. W. Larue & Co., of Colfax, who paid Mr. Do Young $75 an acre for the property. This is the highest price ever paid in Whitman county for so large a tract and sets a new record. The fact that the land was bought by farmers who know the actual value of land and on what price it will pay interest is regarded as positive evidence that the land is worth till that was paid. The following were purchasers: George Larue, 61 acres, at $05 an acre; I. M. Baker, Thornton, 103 acres, at $72 an acre; c. F. Benael, Colfax, 138 acres, at $71.50 acre; S. Y. I.vans, Calgary, 320 acres, at $101 an acre; E. It. Hughes, Thornton, 36 acres, at. $101.60 an acre; C. F. Ben sol, Colfax, 132 acres, at $69 an acre; Pen 1).

Reader had been suffering from stomach trouble and upon the advice of a woman physician decided to take the "starvation treatment.'.' Several days ago the attention of the city health commissioners was called to the fact that Reader was starving himself to death, and an effort was made to induce him to take nourish ment. This be refused to do, and as there was no law by which be could be forced to eat, was left to his fate. Last year Reader was arrested in con nection with the operation of an al leged fraudulent land scheme and was released under bonds of $2500.
