 their way far down into the soil liberate, after the hay is cut, an im- 

 mense volume of plant foods to be drawn on for years to come by 

 future crops. It can be cut 3 to 5 times a year and produces from 3 to 7 

 tons of hay per acre. As a feed for cattle, swine poultry or stock of any 

 kind, owing to its large percentage of protein, it is unsurpassed. Alfalla
