The practical feeder will naturally select as a basis for his 

 ration the best and cheapest feed available in his community. 

 Here in the west where alfalfa, rich in protein, grows in abund- 

 ance, it would certainly be folly to buy large quantities of ex- 

 pensive concentrates to supply the necessary protein content.

 the ordinary dairy cow :
