Section XIV: The Industrial Revolution, Classical Economics, and Economic Liberalism

While capitalism was making rapid strides toward dominating English industry, changes were taking place in agriculture which made it more efficient and productive, and which prepared it to be fitted eventually into the industrial capitalistic pattern. Actually, changes in the direction had been occurring in English agriculture since the revival of trade discussed in earlier chapters. [excerpt]

The Cattle Industry Of San Juan County, Utah, 1875-1900, Franklin D. Day

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to learn the reasons for the movement of cattle Into San Juan County, Utah, the development of the Industry, and its contribution to the growth of the county.

The few written accounts in existence of the cattle industry in San Juan are brief and found in widely separate areas. The whole and complete account will likely never be written, but there is need for gathering as much of the scattered information as possible.

A study of the early history of the inhabitants of San Juan was made, along with an examination of the geography …


Tests With Poison Baits Against Cockroaches, C. S. Lofgren, G. S. Burden Jan 1958

Tests With Poison Baits Against Cockroaches, C. S. Lofgren, G. S. Burden

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

Poison baits consisting of some food material with a toxicant such as phosphorus or boric acid have been used for many years for controlling the cockroaches (Mallis 1954, pp. 181-5). Recently Keller et al. (1956) reported that a bait consisting of cornmeal (73 percent), Coca-Cola syrup (25 percent), and Dipterex (2 percent) controlled Periplaneta spp. in homes for 30-60 days.

Grain Sorghum For Growing-Finishing Swine, E. R. Peo, Jr., D. B. Hudman Jan 1958

Grain Sorghum For Growing-Finishing Swine, E. R. Peo, Jr., D. B. Hudman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Considerable research has been conducted on the feeding value of grain sorghums for swine. Baker and Reinmiller (1939) observed that for the production of gains, grain sorghums were equal to or better than corn but considerable more feed was required to produce a pound of gain with the sorghums. Loeffel (1957) summarized several Nebraska swine experiments and observed that grain sorghum and corn produced approximately the same average daily gain, but, in general, 10 to 20~o more feed was required per pound of gain with the grain sorghum. Similar results have been reported by Aubel (1950, 1954, 1955, 1956) and …

The Effects Of Relaxin On The Composition Of Bovine Milk, Chris H. Nissen Jan 1958

The Effects Of Relaxin On The Composition Of Bovine Milk, Chris H. Nissen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Protoplasm is a fragile substance keeping its homeostatic properties by many physiochemical phenomena. Much is known about the properties of protoplasm; but it is, perhaps, only meager when compared to what is yet to be learned. Such physical changes as electrical impulses, diffusion, and oxidation – to mention a few – are necessary for protoplasm to retain its integrity. In higher animals, particularity, for our purpose, mammals, protoplasm is sustained by different body system working harmoniously together to supply raw materials that remove waste, and govern all endeavors. One should not infer that single called animals have a more simple …


The Blood Picture In Correlation With Bloat, Dale A. Yarns Jan 1958

The Blood Picture In Correlation With Bloat, Dale A. Yarns

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Bloat may spell disaster to any farmer on a given day. This kind of disaster is typical and not infrequent in ruminates especially cattle and sheep. Bloat affects polygastrics, why not monogastrics? Ruminants or polygastrics have a four compartment stomach utilizing protozoa and bacteria similar to a fermentation vat which catabolizes complex substrates into simple digestible nutrients while the monogastrics rely on secretions from the stomach lining. Primarily fermentation takes are water and larger amount of free gas, which can accumulate in the rumen when disposal is impaired. Why do animals dispose of these large quantities of gas 364 days …


Consumer Preferences And Attitudes Toward Butter And Advertising In Brookings And Madison, South Dakota, Paul M. Williamson Jan 1958

Consumer Preferences And Attitudes Toward Butter And Advertising In Brookings And Madison, South Dakota, Paul M. Williamson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The basic purpose of this study was to seek means of improving the incomes of dairy farmers through the development of better markets for butter. In line with this, three major hypotheses were tested. The hypotheses were: (1) a sufficient proportion of consumers in Brookings and Madison prefer cultured butter to make it feasible to develop a market for it, (2) consumption of cultured butter can be increased by sales promotion, (3) development of a market for cultured butter will increase total butter consumption.

An Attempt To Develop Resistance In The Udder Against Streptococcus Dysgalactiae And Escherichia Coli, Donald E. Otterby Jan 1958

An Attempt To Develop Resistance In The Udder Against Streptococcus Dysgalactiae And Escherichia Coli, Donald E. Otterby

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of mastitis in dairy animals has received much attention in recent years. As the business of dairying has developed and grown, mastitis has become more significant to the farmer and the processor. The economic loss from reduced production and sale of milk, loss of breeding animals, veterinary and medical fees is paramount. Much of the emphasis when dealing with mastitis has been on cure rather than prevention. Despite the extensive investigations of antibiotics and other chemo-therapeutic agents as a cure for mastitis, a completely satisfactory answer to the mastitis problem has not been found. Recent research has suggested …

A Comparison Of The Blood Oxygen Capacity In Semi-Terrestrial And Aquatic Frogs, Francis Burke Leftwich Jan 1958

A Comparison Of The Blood Oxygen Capacity In Semi-Terrestrial And Aquatic Frogs, Francis Burke Leftwich

Master's Theses

The present investigation is a comparison of the blood oxygen capacity in three species of frogs: a semi-terrestrial form R. pippins, the meadow frog; and two aquatic forms, R. clamitans, the green frog; and R. catesbeiana, the bullfrog. The habitats or these frogs are described by Wright and Wright (1949) as follows: R. pipiens inhabits swampy marsh lands, upland backwaters, overflows, and ponds in the spring. In summer it is found in swamp lands, grassy woodlands, or in cultivated hay and grain fields. In winter it hibernates in pools or marshes. It has been found as far as …

Field Techniques For Sexing And Aging Game Animals, Donald R. Thompson Jan 1958

Field Techniques For Sexing And Aging Game Animals, Donald R. Thompson

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Publications

The purpose of this booklet is to provide a ready field reference for identification, sexing and aging of common game species. It has purposely been kept in simplified form, presenting only those techniques which can commonly be applied in the field and avoiding those which would require special equipment and skills. Untrained personnel should be given demonstrations of the techniques, and thereafter this reference should serve as a reminder. It is not expected that the reference could successfully be used without such demonstration. Certain of the techniques such as cloaca! examination of waterfowl may require considerable practice by the individual. …
