Corn Silage For Lambs, J.W. Wilson Jan 1916

Corn Silage For Lambs, 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 lambs. It also includes results of other experiments in feeding lambs at this Station and reported in previous bulletins now out of print. The sheep is the plant scavenger of the farm, and will eat nearly all plants during some stage of their growth. Many plants that have become troublesome weeds on farms would be completely destroyed if the sheep were given a chance to eat them before seeding. Because of this peculiarity sheep raising is a profitable business. Then again, it has been found that a …

Rape Pasture For Pigs In Corn Field Kaoliang And Alfalfa Hay For Pigs, J.W. Wilson Dec 1914

Rape Pasture For Pigs In Corn Field Kaoliang And Alfalfa Hay For Pigs, J.W. Wilson

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

Some pod: producers in South Dakota practice the turning of their pigs in the cornfield during the late summer and early fall to pick their own feed instead of gathering the corn and hauling it to them. The practice is a good one because it saves much labor. Pigs do well under these conditions, probably because they secure more of a variety of forage with their corn than they would receive in a dry lot or even on a good pasture. By this practice they are required to take exercise which is also a benefit to the growing pig. In …

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 …

Fattening Lambs, J.W. Wilson Mar 1910

Fattening Lambs, J.W. Wilson

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

The livestock industry has been and is a prominent factor in solving the problem of retaining and improving the fertility of the soil. It has been demonstrated that raising crops year after year on the same land and selling them in their natural form, without the use of animals to produce manure, materially impairs the producing capacity of the soil. Commercial fertilizers are used extensively farther east, which render the cost of production comparatively expensive. Roberts, of the New York Experiment Station, found that sheep manure was worth more per ton as a fertilizer than that made by any other …

Rusts Of Cereals And Other Plants, E.W. Olive Jun 1908

Rusts Of Cereals And Other Plants, E.W. Olive

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

Rusts are among the most common as well as among the most destructive of fungous diseases. They attack the cereals and grasses of our fields, the fruit trees of our orchards, and even the ornamental plants of our garden, causing in years especially favorable for their growth, enormous financial losses. Rusts are with us every year; we may not notice them so much during certain dry seasons, but not a year passes without the disease being present on grain and other plants to a greater or less extent. Professor Balley of the North Dakota Station estimates that the average annual …

Millet For Fattening Swine, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner Mar 1904

Millet For Fattening Swine, J.W. Wilson, H.G. Skinner

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

This experiment was undertaken to ascertain the relative feeding value of millet, as a fattening ration when fed to hogs, as compared to that of the more commonly grown cereals. Various millets have been widely grown in this state for several years and considered a very valuable forage crop for cattle and sheep if harvested at the proper stage of maturity. There is probably no crop that can be sowed that will mature in so short South Dakota, and produce so large a yield of forage or grain per acre, as millet. There are, however, numerous new varieties of millet …

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

The production of a high class of meat products from the raw materials at hand should be the aim of every stockman in the state. Of all the animals on the farm the sheep is regarded by many as the most profitable, not only from the fact that it will convert, economically, the grains and forage plants into higher selling products, but also because it has no equal as a weed destroyer and a general improver of the farm. Of the six hundred or more different weeds and grasses found on our prairies and cultivated fields, the sheep will eat …

Pig Feeding In South Dakota, E.A. Burnett Mar 1899

Pig Feeding In South Dakota, E.A. Burnett

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

The object of this experiment was to obtain some more practical data concerning the feeding value of some of our common food stuffs, and to gather data regarding the cost of production of pork, produced under favorable conditions upon our common grains. It was thought that an accurate statement of the cost of producing pork upon our cheap grains would encourage our farmers to raise larger numbers of hogs and to feed more of our cheap grains, such as barley and corn, instead of selling them at prices which are little, if any, above the cost of production. From this …

Forage And Garden Crops In The James River Valley, R.C. Chilcott, R.S. Roe

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

The experiments in the James River Valley during 1898 are a continuation of those conducted in 1896 and 1897, the results of which are recorded in Bulletins 52 and 59. As in former years, these experiments have been conducted in the Hunter-Salzer Farm at Mellette and the seeds have mostly been furnished by the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of Lacrosse, Wis. All of the larger permanent grass-plants that were established in 1896 and which have survived two winters and three summers have been preserved. The Alfalfa and Clovers have also been continued. The results obtained with Brome grass, Alfalfa, …

Forage And Garden Crops In The James River Valley, J.H. Shepard, E.C. Chilcott Mar 1898

Forage And Garden Crops In The James River Valley, J.H. Shepard, E.C. Chilcott

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

The experiments in the James River Valley during 1897 are a continuation of the work of 1896, the results of which are recited in Bulletin 52. There was no material change in the methods or aims of the researches. All the leading experiments with forage plants were repeated in order to obtain that certainty and weight which comes from repetition. While the results of a single season may have a significant value, nevertheless, the results of a series of seasons raise the issue above the level of accident and place them on the plane of demonstrated fact. It must be …

Feeding Sheep In South Dakota, E.C. Chilcott, E.A. Burnett Jun 1897

Feeding Sheep In South Dakota, E.C. Chilcott, E.A. Burnett

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

The natural importance of the sheep industry to South Dakota is well established by the facts that her rich native grasses furnish abundant pastures and that her climatic conditions favor the grazing industry in all parts of the State. These natural advantages have long been recognized and have been utilized to a greater or less extent in all parts of the State for a number of years past. Another great natural advantage, of possibly even greater importance than those above mentioned, is her geographical location within the natural zone of cheap food supply. She embraces within her borders some of …

Forage Plants For South Dakota : Silos And Silage, E.C. Chilcott

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

The natural advantages of the state of South Dakota as a stock country have long been recognized. Our range beef end mutton is regarded as second to none in its class. Our wool has earned an enviable reputation in all of the wool centers of America. And last in order of development, but by no means least in importance, our dairy products have established a. name for themselves among the very best on this continent. All of these achievements have been won almost entirely without the a.id of cultivated grains and grasses. Our native prairie grasses have, in nearly all …

A Comparative Study Of Degenerative Tissue, Homer Davis Jan 1897

A Comparative Study Of Degenerative Tissue, Homer Davis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nutrition is the earliest and most constant of vital operations. So prominent is the nutritive apparatus of an animal that the animal has been likened to a moving sac, organized to convert foreign matter into its own likeness, to which the complex organs of animal life are but auxiliaries. In growth more material is used by the body-protoplasm that is expelled. Nutrition includes excretion i.e. the removal of spent material which is usually poisonous and which if allowed to remain in the body organism would impair nutrition in its fullest sense. The objects of nutrition are growth, repair, and propogation. …

Native And Introduced Forage Plants, T.A. Williams, J.H. Shepard May 1894

Native And Introduced Forage Plants, T.A. Williams, J.H. Shepard

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

The true grasses are one of the most valuable families of plants. To them belong the small grains (oats, wheat, barley, etc.,), corn, the various sorts of cane, the great bamboo of Asia, and a host of other plants of more or Jess importance to man or beast. In the great prairie regions of the United States the grasses form by far the greater part of the natural vegetation and constitute one of the most valuable of the natural resources as well. In our own state of South Dakota stock-raising- has been one of the leading industries ever since its …
