 The Narrow-Leaved Milkweed The Air-Dried Plant Fed to Sheep 



After the green plant has been thoroughly dried in the sun it loses 

 approximately 65% (two-thirds) of its original weight. Its condition 

 is then much the same as it would be if cut and cured in hay. In the 

 feeding tests the air-dried material was in most instances mixed with 

 alfalfa hay and fed.
