Agriculture In Western Australia, A W. Hogstrom

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A review of the development of agriculture in Western Australia with an outline of the distribution and importance of present agricultural and pastoral enterprises.

WESTERN Australia's economy has always been largely dominated by its pastoral and agricultural activities.

For short periods gold has given greater annual returns than the products of farms and stations, but these periods have never been very long.

Only in recent years has the value of factory production equalled that of our stations and farms.

Light Horses, M. E. Ensminger

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Light horses stand 14-2 to 17 hands high, weigh 900 to 1,400 pounds, and are used primarily for, riding, driving, or racing, or for utility purposes on the farm. Light horses generally are more rangy and are capable of more action and greater speed than draft horses.

Increasing interest is being shown in light horses. Today, there are 2¼ million horses in this country, of which 1.8 million are light horses. It is further estimated that 433,000 light horses are suburban-owned. About 250,000 horses are registered in a light horse breed registry.

Saddle clubs and 4-H horse clubs are growing …

The U.S. Feed Concentrate-Livestock Economy's Demand Structure, 1949-1959 (With Projections For 1960-70), James B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Several years ago, members of the NCM-19 Technical Committee on grain marketing research decided to do more detailed research on the spatial aspects of the livestock-feed economy. The major objectives of this study are (1) to quantify the demand functions for the major animal products of agriculture at the retail level, (2) to derive the demand functions for the unprocessed forms at the farm level, (3) to derive the equilibrium demand functions for feed concentrates at the farm level, (4) to estimate the separate annual impact rates of trends in per capita income, marketing costs, conversion rates, and population on …

Feeding The Dairy Herd, Ervin Kurtz, Hollis Hall, Howard Voelker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Dairy cows, in order to make milk in large quantities, must be supplied with liberal amounts of the raw material from which milk can be made. That means good feed.The average production of South Dakota milk cows for 1961 was 5,700 pounds of milk and 205 pounds of butterfat. Much of this relatively low production is due to poor feed and lack of enough feed. Production and feed records shown in table 5 reveal that one way to get increased production is to give the cows more feed. Feed is the greatest single item of expense in producing milk. It …

Changing Settlement Patterns In A Dry Land Wheat Farming Region: The Mansfield Washington Area, Helen Jayne

Graduate Student Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to trace the change in settlement patterns in an area located in the semiarid plateau region of Eastern Washington and to determine the cause of such a change. Little has been written about the settlement of this area. Therefore, an attempt has been made to learn what changes in settlement have been made and to explain them.

Symbols Of Christmas, Kay Sharp Nelson

SDSU Extension Circulars

People, when happy, express themselves in many ways. Traditions, customs, and symbols of Christmas have come to America from almost as many lands as we have peoples, brought here by our forefathers and observed, with only slight modification, down through the years. Traditions are the unwritten stories, beliefs, and activities that are handed down from generation to generation, customs so long continued that they almost become the force of law. Symbols are objects (animate or inanimate) that represent emblems, figures, or understanding such as a creed or belief. The symbols are used to express traditions.

An Economic Study Of Alternative Methods Of Obtaining Dairy Herd Replacements In Northern Utah, 1961, J'Wayne Mcarthur

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Dairying ranked second in producing farm income in the state of Utah in 1929 (II). Twenty-two and two tenths percent of cash receipts from the sale of agricultural products came from dairying. Beef enterprises were the only larger source of farm income in the state, with 24.7 per cent of the total cash receipts. Because of the importance of dairying in the state, much work has been done to provide dairymen with information that will enable them to obtain a higher net return from dairying.

Income Adjustments From Fee And Permit Changes On Utah Cattle Ranches Using Public Ranges Yearlong, C. Kerry Gee

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Within the boundaries of Utah are approximately 52.7 million acres of land. About 41 million acres are rangeland, of which 73 percent is federally owned and 5 percent state owned (6).¹ The portion owned by the Federal government is administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Forest Service. Most of this land is either arid or mountainous and has been used mainly for grazing in the past. IT has other uses, however, such as mining, forestry, recreation, and watersheds. Due to recent increases in population, personal income, shorter work weeks, and improved transportation facilities, these alternatives …

A Soil And Vegetation Inventory And Analysis Of Three Nebraska Sandhills Range Sites, Donald F. Burzlaff

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This study was undertaken to inventory the soils and vegetation of certain areas of the Sandhills and to seek edaphic characteristics that may be the limiting factor in the distribution of various plant species. Information of this nature will permit formulation of more accurate management practices because of a refinement in delineation of range sites.

Safe Rural Water Supplies, Cooperative Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

A safe water supply source should be obtained from an uncontaminated water-bearing formation or from a properly located and constructed farm pond. The water should be pleasing to drink, bacteriologically and chemically safe, and delivered through a system which will keep it safe at all times. To accomplish this, the water source and system must be located and constructed to keep out surface and near-surface contamination, or be continuously treated.

Ewe Nutrition Before And During Mating, H E. Fels

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Lambing percentages depend partly on the condition of ewes at mating. If it is practicable, ewes should be allowed to gain condition in the months before mating.

Where this is not practical and ewes are in a store or backward-store condition at mating, flushing should improve their fertility.

Weaner Feeding Practices Need Review, W L. Mcgarry, R. J. Lightfoot

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Many fanners feed large amounts of grain to their weaners over summer and autumn, in the belief that this is necessary for high lifetime production.

The economics of this are open to doubt; in fact, the results of a recent experiment at Wongan Hills Research Station suggested that weaner feeding practices need review.

Skim Milk : The Cheapest Pig Feed, P C. Beck

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

BUTTERFAT production has started on most South-West dairy farms, and although pig prices are not high at present, many dairy farmers have either purchased young stock or bred pigs to utilise their surplus skim milk.

Skim milk is the best feed for pigs on the dairy farm. Properly used in conjunction with other feeds it produces high quality carcasses at minimum cost.

The Land-Grant Movement And Its Influence On Scientific Agriculture In Minnesota, Bill W. Kennedy

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Agriculture is the most basic of all human enterprises. Quantity and quality, as related to food production, are founded upon principles of science; a situation whereby man can use his own ingenuity to instrument selected benefits by modifying the course of nature. History provides evidence of a correlation between development of a primitive agriculture and a numerical increase in human population. Furthermore, records of the past show that food supplies have delimited man's geographic distribution, frequently have directed the policies of his government, and ultimately have seemed to mark the boundaries of his social progress. In modern times the United …
