'L'hc Utah l xperiment Station has recently conductcd some experiment - ment . the purposc of which waste to determinc whethcr this prejudice - judice against alfalfa had any foundation or not. 'l'hc first experiment lasted a period of ninety-live days begJlt- ing Januarv J3 , 181)1) , two tcams being t1secthroughout the period one horse in cach team being fed timothy aud the other alfalfa , thc grain ration being thc samc. During this timc thc two horses fed timothy lost 124 poul1l1s while the horscs fed alfalfa lost but of pounds. In the ncxt cxperimcnt the horses that had previousl ) ' received the alfalfa were fed time hy , and tllOsc that had pre\'iously recd ved ti mot hy werc now givcn alfalfa. In this in- stancc the team receiving alfalfa made a gain of seventy-live pounds during" thc ninety-li\'e days of the experimcnt , while the timothy fed horses lost sixty pounds. During the ncxt period the alfalfa fcd horscs gained 55 pounds , while thc timothl fed horses lost 41 pounds. l'hree other experimcnts were conducted the results being practically the same as those given above. " 'l'he results of these tcsts , which were conductcd while the horses were doing the orc1 uarJ' work of the farm , arc favorable to alfalfa , it heiug less difficult to maintain the "eight of horses feel on alfalfa than when fed hay . while no ill effects were noted on the gcneml h' alth , and the ap- pcarance of the alfalfa fed hort es contrasted favorably with thone which received the. timothy.
