A Wisconsin poultry expert explains summer egg production drops if hens lack mash. Duncan Reid of Diversity of Wisconsin details a ration: 100 pounds each of ground oats and middlings, 100 pounds meat, and 25 percent wheat in corn feed.

E L Worthen of the state college of agriculture at Ithaca says high analysis fertilizers are generally cheaper than low analysis. Concentrated mixtures offer no savings over 18 to 20 percent plant food, as factory costs rise with volume. The 5 10 5 costs $0.50 a ton more than 4 8 4, yet delivers 500 pounds more plant food per ton. Retail prices this season are $49.30 for 5 10 5 and $42.80 for 4 8 4.

High lime and protein in alfalfa make it a cost effective feed, reducing need for expensive concentrates. Experiments show substituting alfalfa for bran can slightly increase milk production.
A Central Experimental Farm test with Ayrshire and Holstein cows compared alfalfa meal to bran in rations including corn silage and clover hay.
