Roughage For Fattening Lambs, J.W. Wilson Apr 1913

Roughage For Fattening Lambs, J.W. Wilson

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

The object of this experiment was to determine the value for lambs of corn silage as a sole ration and the relative feeding value of shredded corn fodder and hay made from sweet clover, field peas and the yellow-flowered alfalfa to hay from upland prairie grass and common alfalfa when fed as roughage with the same kind of a grain ration. By the breaking up the prairie the stockmen will soon be deprived of one of the cheapest and best roughages in South Dakota.

Sugar Beet Culture In South Dakota, J.H. Shepard Jan 1913

Sugar Beet Culture In South Dakota, J.H. Shepard

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Of late much interest is manifested in Sugar Beets for this state. This is caused by the probably early erection of Sugar Beet factories in the state. Many inquiries are received at this station in regard to the whole subject. It is in answer to these inquiries that this Bulletin is issued. While long and tedious tables of the different data now at hand is purposely omitted the statements herein are backed by data secured during the long and painstaking investigations that have been made. Many people are not aware of the work that has been done with Sugar Beets …

Preliminary Report On The Milking Machine, C. Larsen, W. White, J.W. Fuller Jan 1913

Preliminary Report On The Milking Machine, C. Larsen, W. White, J.W. Fuller

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

With a view of testing the practicability of the milking machine, the South Dakota experiment station, two years ago last February, installed the Hazelwood milking machines in the college dairy barn. These machines, with the exception of one day out of each month when the machine milked cows were milked by hand, and also in a few instances when the gasoline, engine used for power underwent repairs, have been in continuous operation since that time, or for nearly two and one-half years. The cows were milked by hand one day of each month to ascertain the approximate production of individual …

Soil And Crop And Their Relation To State Building, A.N. Hume Aug 1912

Soil And Crop And Their Relation To State Building, A.N. Hume

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Summary of Bulletin No. 139
(1). It is estimated upon the basis of commercial prices, twenty-five million dollars’ worth of nitrogen was removed from South Dakota soils in 1910. Most of it was never returned Page 9.
(2). Replace nitrogen by growing legumes, such as alfalfa, clover, field peas, or even sweet clover. Page 11.
(3). That it is possible to reduce the nitrogen content of South Dakota soils below the limit of profitable crop production is certain. Page 9
(4). To be brief, there is only one thing to do, namely, South Dakota must at once provide for a …

Hog Cholera, E.L. Moore, T.B. Kelly Jun 1912

Hog Cholera, E.L. Moore, T.B. Kelly

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Hog Cholera is an infectious disease of swine characterized by a high fever and more or less extensive congestion and hemorrhages of the lymphatic glands, the intestines, kidneys, lungs, spleen, heart and liver. Various other names have been applied to this disease, such as pig typhoid, swine fever, pneumo-enteritis, blue disease, etc., but it is most frequently referred to as hog cholera. The annual loss of pigs from this disease in the United States amounts to thousands of dollars and its ravages are a constant source of discouragement to breeders of pure-bred stock as well as those who make a …

Corn Silage And Roots For Steers, J.W. Wilson May 1912

Corn Silage And Roots For Steers, J.W. Wilson

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

This bulletin includes the results of two experiments in feeding corn silage to steers. The object of these experiments was to determine the value of silage as a sole ration for wintering steers; and also as a roughage, when fed with grain, for fattening operations. It was further desired to determine the value of different root crops when added to the grain ration for fattening steers.

Fattening Pigs, J.W. Wilson Apr 1912

Fattening Pigs, J.W. Wilson

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

The production of pork is one of the principal industries in the corn-belt. The pig will yield a larger return for the feed consumed than either the sheep or the steer and will make a larger daily gain for his weight than any other animal on the farm. All animals fatten rapidly when receiving corn as a ration on account of its highly carbonaceous nature. But the question is often asked by farmers who are practicing dairying to a greater or less extent, what is the value of skim milk and buttermilk for the pig when fed in conjunction with …

More Winter Dairying In South Dakota, C. Larsen Mar 1912

More Winter Dairying In South Dakota, C. Larsen

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

At the present time the dairy business in South Dakota is not practiced intensively except by comparatively few farmers. Dairying is carried on largely as a side line. In this connection the readers should bear in mind that South Dakota is a new state and that it has been and still is in a transitional period. It is passing through the different farming stages through which all other great agricultural states have passed, with this difference, that the duration of the various stages between range farming and the more intensive mixed system of permanent agriculture is much shorter. The rise …

Alfalfa As A Field Crop In South Dakota, A.N. Hume, S. Garver Feb 1912

Alfalfa As A Field Crop In South Dakota, A.N. Hume, S. Garver

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Summary of Bulletin No. 133
(1) Average yields of alfalfa hay, from several strains of seed have been produced at Brookings, which have been more profitable than average crops of wheat or corn. Such a fact augurs well for permanent, profitable farming in South Dakota. Page 260.
(2) Average yields of alfalfa hay from some strains of seed have been produced at Highmore, which were at least as profitable as average crops of wheat or corn. Such .a fact augurs also well for permanent, profitable farming in South Dakota. It is also exceedingly important to know that some strains failed …

Effects Of Alkali Water On Dairy Products, C. Larsen, W. White, D.E. Bailey Jan 1912

Effects Of Alkali Water On Dairy Products, C. Larsen, W. White, D.E. Bailey

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Alkali water, or water containing an unusual amount of soluble minerals, especially sulphates, is chiefly found in arid and semi-arid regions. Since the minerals are in the soil, the amount and kind of minerals contained in the water varies according to kind of soil lay of land, kind of cultivation, manured or unmanured, drained or undrained, and climatic conditions. The amount and kind of minerals found in the examined and analyzed water from the different wells may be found in Tables I and II. Many inquiries were received from localities in which alkali water is most prevalent relative to the …
