SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES. $ Sixty Per Cent, of the Feeding Value of Alfalfa in the Leaves?Hay Should be Cut at Right Time and Cured so as to Preserve the Leaves. g Of the entire alfalfa plant, accord- , Ing to Kansas bulletin 155, the stalk j comprises 60 per cent, and the leaf i 10 per cent., whereas the quantity of j '1 4 *V?r. of nllr io AC\ I ILltS piUlClii ill cue ctaia 40 vmaj ?w ^v. cent., while the protein in the leaf is 60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per j | cent, of the fat is to be found in the ; Btalk, while 80 per cent, is in the leaf. | It is. therefore, very important that j alfalfa be harvested at the proper j time, and carefully handled so that ! all the leaves will be saved. When possible to do so it is best to ? cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or evening. Dew or rain on the freshly cut alfalfa will not injure it. Wrhere a tedder is used, it should be started in the morning as soon as most of the dew is off and before there is any danger of knocking off the leaves. It is $ often advisable to go over it more than once. Alfalfa hay is harvested and cured In much the same way as clover, exSave the Alfalfa Leaves % Proportion Stalk | 60 Leaf 40 ?
