S. Hitchcock cites as an illustration of feeding alfal- fa alone, the case of the dairy farms in the vicinity of Moneta, CaL, where the stock are ordinarily fed no other ration than alfalfa. As alfalfa is not a balanced ration, a number of local dairymen tried to replace a part of the alfalfa by sorghum, thus giving a more nearly balanced ration. The cows, however, did not give as much milk upon this combination as upon pure alfalfa. ''This result ALFALFA AXD THE DAIRY 1 49 may be assigned to t...he fact that the cattle were unable to consume a sufficient quantity of the mixture to produce the same results as the alfalfa alone.
