Horse owners should be able to recognize the different red, white, and alsike clovers so that poisoning can be prevented. |
Hay or pasture containing a large percentage of alsike clover is generally not recommended for horses. |
Nor should the fact be lost sight of that the tendency to produce bloat in alsike clover is much the same as in medium red clover. |
More especially should this be the aim if the alsike is sown to produce hay. |
But since the stems of alsike clover are finer than those of the medium red, less time will suffice for curing it. |
As a honey plant, alsike clover is without a rival among clovers, unless it be in the small white variety. |
