Circular No. 81 - Beef Slaughtering, Cutting, And Curing, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

Many farmers follow the practice of occasionally slaughtering a steer, a heifer, or a calf for home use. When this practice is followed the farmer is assured of getting meat of high quality. Experience has taught him that he is not always :able to get meat at a local market which equals in quality that which he slaughters on his own farm. The butcher is not at fault as he usually handles the quality of meat his customers desire and will accept.

Circular No. 82 - Lamb Slaughtering And Cutting, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

The old saying that "the shoemaker's wife goes without shoes" might be changed to read "the lamb raiser and feeder of the west does not eat lamb." About three-fourths of the population of the United states is east of the Mississippi River, and about 90 per cent of all the lamb and mutton produced in the United states is consumed east of the Mississippi. It has been observed, both on the farms and in towns, that a large percentage of people in the sheep sections of the west have tasted neither lamb nor mutton.

Circular No. 80 - Domestic Slaughtering, Cutting, And Curing Of Pork, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

The practice of slaughtering hogs on the farm is being followed rather extensively by the farmers of this state.

The races of people who have not included meat in their diet are today numbered among the weaker and more backward nations.

Circular No. 77 - Measurement Of Irrigation Water, George D. Clyde

UAES Circulars

Water is the limiting factor in Utah's agricultural development. In spite of its admitted value the farmer knows less about the measurement of water than about any of the other commodities which he handles. He knows how to measure his land, his crops and his cattle, but he has little conception of how to measure his most valuable asset, viz., irrigation water. The importance of water measurement is not appreciated until the water-supply becomes over-appropriated and users begin interfering with each other's rights. Expensive litigation, which always follow controversies over water, is gradually convincing the farmer that water should be …
