Alfalfa feed could boost Wisconsin dairy profits
Professor H Otis of the University of Wisconsin reports alfalfa hay feeds dairy cows well in winter, with gains of 1.25 to 1.5 pounds daily for nonlactating cattle. Alfalfa yields about 880 pounds of digestible protein per acre and could replace half the grain, cutting milk costs. Estimated land returns range from $10 to $20 per ton, and farmers may raise profits 50 to 75 percent by using alfalfa locally.

Corporations Must Report Under 1908 Law Penalty
Secretary of State sends notices to all corporations failing to file annual reports under chapter 562. If reports and the $25 penalty are not filed by March 1, corporate rights and privileges may be forfeited. The law aims to establish a public record of officers and directors and to relieve the state books of nonoperating corporations.
Roller on Snow Roads as Practical in Winter Travel
The article argues rolling snow to compact the road surface is more durable than plowing. A land roller makes firm, straight, easily drivable roads and resists thaw better. It suggests testing a Craii strip of road if another heavy snowfall occurs and ends with a note to see Frank Zweck for talking machines and records.
