Alex Baillie wa3 in town Tuesday
morning. He had just finished his first
cntting of 25 acres of alfalfa, which he
estimates as making 3000 pounds to the
acre. Alex thinks alfalfa is just about
the finest feed ever grown. He curs up
his corn stalks and feeds with alfalfa,
the two making just the proper feed to
fatten and keep his cattle in the primest
condition. He recalls his experience of
his thirty ye»rs in this country, and
wonders how the farmers used to raise
any good cattle under the old regime,
when they had nothing but prairie hay
and corn stalks for winter feed, and
when such feed left stock so weak and
emaciated that in the spring they were
generally compared to a walking bone
yarJ, by the side of the slick stuff they
raise now. Mr. Baillie is one of our
most successful farmers, and his praise
of alfalfa as feed is unstinted.
