In manJ sections Qf the coun-
tQ' wherc alfalfa thrives wcll
there is ti1l some prejudicc
against that crop as a food for
horses , therc heing considcrahle
cffort madc to grow such crops
as timothy and brome grass evc'n
where conditions are not favor-
ablc for their proltudion. '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. It
was found that horses feel alfalfa
consumcd a largcr quanity of
water daily , hut there WftS no
cvillcncc that this w.t.o ; : n fil1Y
way detrimcntalto th it' h6'alth.
