ANSWKK: UurM aitalfn hay.' | clover hay or lespedeza make ; iBood greens for winter use uit a poulKy feed proving the growiN color is retained. Another satis- ? {factory feed is alfalfa leaf meal, and again It is important to re jtaln the color. However, alfalfa! leal' inenl should not constitute I more than 10 per cent of the jmash.
