Live Stock Notes 
Alfalfa as Laxative and Tonic 
The study of the effect of vitainines in 
the food is not confined to human rations. 
It, is being worked out with live stock. In 
the human ration the leafy vegetables, 
like spinach, lettuce, cabbage and toma¬ 
toes, arc specially good.' Alfalfa and 
clover contain these vitainines. and vet¬ 
erinarians are finding new feeding values 
in bay made from these crops. Not only 
does such hay give bulk and protein and 
minerals, but it also fortifies the ration 
with vitainines. as spinach and lettuce 
help the human ration. 
Some of the Weestern veterinarians are 
finding Alfalfa much more than a stock 
food. Dr IT. M. Halverson of South Da¬ 
kota has this to say about it: 
In our practice of the various domes¬ 
ticated animals we have more or less ex¬ 
perience with feeds that cause digestive 
troubles, and also tin' foods which we rec¬ 
ommend for building up a patient suffer¬ 
ing from malnutrition. When a parieut 
has recovered we recommend the use of 
well-cured Alfalfa hay. Very seldom a 
horse will refuse to eat Alfalfa in prefer¬ 
ence to bran mash. Rran mash is not 
fed to Western horses. Alfalfa is used 
exclusively in the feeding of horses for 
many months at one time with the best re¬ 
sults. 
We do not reeommened the use of Al¬ 
falfa except for working horses, and then 
only once a day in hot weather. It is a 
nuretie, laxative, alterative and a tonic, 
or appetizer, that cannot be equaled by 
any fodder we have <except perhaps Buf¬ 
falo grass on some of the plains and some¬ 
thing that would not pay on high-priced 
land). 
In our bovine practice w<- find many 
cattle that have no fodder all year round 
hut some cornstalks in the field during 
the late Fall after corn is husked. In 
milk cows Alfalfa will increase the yield 
of milk, and also the lmrterfat. Less 
grain is needed to make a balanced ration. 
In feeding hogs, a rack of Alfalfa nearly 
takes the place of slops or tankage. To 
brood sows before farrowing the feeding 
of Alfalfa increases their vigor and keeps 
them from excessive fat caused by a grain 
diet. The leaves or the last cutting of 
Alfalfa baled and fed to poultry in the 
Winter months stimulates egg production.

Clearing Land with Goats 
I wish to get from yourself and your 
readers some information on the easiest 
way of clearing brush land. I have about 
30 acres that were cut off three or four 
years ago. before I acquired the farm: 
the former owner expected to finish clear¬ 
ing the piece the next Summer, but it 
was permitted to grow up into brush, 
which is now from 4 to 6 ft. high, mostly 
gray birch, with some maple and chest¬ 
nut. I am clearing a three-acre piece 
with a tractor, as I wish to use it soon, 
but it is hard work and expensive. I 
shall have no pressing use for the remain¬ 
der for three or four years, possibly 
longer, but would like to get started on 
it next year. 
Would it he feasible to fence a portion 
of this 30-acrc piece and put in some 
goats to clear off the brush? Would 
they clear it in one season, or would it 
require two or three? After they had 
killed or eaten the brush above ground, 
what would he the best way of getting 
out the stumps? The birch are a cop¬ 
pice growth around the old birch stumps. 
If hogs followed the goats, would they 
loosen up the roots enough to permit 
plowing thereafter, or would the roots 
still have to be pulled with thp tractor 
and a two-pronged grub puller? How 
many goats or hogs would it require to 
the acre? The brush is rather thick. 
Would sheep be of any value in clearing 
this land? There is very little grass 
among the brush. R. j. F. 
Massachusetts. 
R. N.-Y.—Several years ago we had 
this question under discussion, and our 
readers brought out many good points. 
It seemed to be agreed then that goats 
did remarkable work at clearing such 
land. They were better than sheep. Our 
reports came mostly from the West. Now 
we would like another discussion, and we 
invite any of our people who have had 
experience to fell us just how they did it. 
Which are hotter, goats or hogs? Will 
they work together?
