Bulletin No. 36 - Relative Value Of Corn And Oats For Horses, A. A. Mills

UAES Bulletins

This Bulletin reports the continuation of the study of the best nutritive ratio for horses under moderate work. The experiment was so arranged that a direct comparison could be made between oats and corn as the principal grain ration. The work was planned by Prof. J. W. Sanborn, who was then Director of the Station.

Bulletin No. 35 - Steer Feeding, A. A. Mills

UAES Bulletins

The object of this Bulletin is to give and discuss the results of experiments, herein detailed, in regard to the system, prevalent here, "of keeping cattle on hay and other coarse foods during the winter, then feeding grain for a few weeks in the spring just previous to selling. All over the inter-mountain region very little grain is fed, and what little is used is fed with the idea that an animal which has been kept poorly can be filled up with profit in a very short period, just before selling. The idea was to test these questions, and to …

Bulletin No. 34 - Relative Value Of Wheat, Peas, Corn And Barley In The Production Of Pork, A. A. Mills

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin treats of the use of wheat, peas, corn, and barley when mixed with bran and fed to pigs, the idea being to see if, by using one-half bran, the above grains could not be fed with profit, and also to test the relative value of the mixtures.

UAES Bulletins

The opinion has prevailed in scientific as well as in practical circles, that hay cut before or during bloom is more valuable, pound for pound, than when cut at a later period, and it is even maintained that the gross product per acre is more valuable. The old assumption, now somewhat modified, that as plants mature a part of the starch and sugar is converted into fibre, and that the nutrition of the stem is moved into the seed, led to the belief that early-cut hay was both more digestible and more valuable than that cut at a later period. …

Bulletin No. 33 - 1. Grazing Values Of Varieties Of Grass. 2. Drilling Vs. Broadcasting Grass Seed., J. W. Sanborn

UAES Bulletins

In the annual report for 1893, we published the result of experiments in grazing nine varieties of grass and clover, plus the grazing value of a plat of all these varieties mixed. There were some unequal conditions in the trial and it was continued over until the present season.

On May 23, two steers were placed upon each of the ten lots, enclosed by wire fence, to remain there for the period of one month, in artier to observe the length of time the varieties would carry these steers and the growth derived from the varieties. Several reasons prevented the …
