Bulletin No. 77 - Horse Feeding, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

Previous experiments reported by this Station have shown the value of lucern, the principal forage crop of this section, when fed to cattle, sheep and hogs. The main part of this bulletin is devoted to the value of lucern when fed to horses, though a brief review of the work previously done at this Station in connection with the subject of horse-feeding is included. There has been, and is, some prejudice existing against lucern forming a part or all of the ration of horses, not only in the East, where the value of this crop is not yet fully appreciated, …

Bulletin No. 76 - Forcing Lettuce, C. P. Close

UAES Bulletins

The winter growing of lettuce is not yet practiced in Utah. There is a good demand for lettuce in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and in some of the smaller towns during the winter, but this demand is supplied by the California grown product. It is yet to be determined whether or not lettuce can be grown profitably under glass in this State. The recent high prices of the winter product indicate that the forcing of a moderate amount of lettuce can be done with profit.

In the season of 1899-1900, the Experiment Station began a series of experiments with lettuce …

Bulletin No. 74 - Lead Ore In Sugar Beet Pulp, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

The recent great development of the beet sugar industry in the State of Utah, has made the matter of utilizing the sugar beet pulp an important question for Utah farmers. That beet pulp has a high feeding value, when fed in proper combinations, has been shown conclusively since the establishment of the first beet sugar factory in the State, ten years ago. The experience of other states, and of the beet sugar producing countries of Europe, has likewise demonstrated that beet pulp may be used profitably in the feeding of farm animals. It is doubtlessly true that much is yet …

Bulletin No. 75 - Arid Farming Or Dry Farming, John A. Widtsoe, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

There are in Utah many lands that will not, for many years to come, be brought under irrigation; and there are many others that probably will never be irrigated. These are usually high-lying lands, often far from large streams, to irrigate which, would require the construction of exceptionally costly reservoirs, dams, and canals. Many Utah valleys are so far removed from the water supply of the State that it is improbable that water will be carried past other thirsting lands to these outlying places. The building of irrigation works is a venture in which profits and losses are considered; and …

Bulletin No. 73 - Experiments In Butter-Making And Cheese-Making, F. B. Linfield

UAES Bulletins

No bulletins have heretofore been issued by the Dairy department of this Station on the special question of the manufacture of dairy products. The main work of the Dairy department has been with the farm end of the dairy problem; viz: the production of milk. This includes the breeding, feeding and management of cows, the raising and developing of the young stock, and the economic disposal of the by-products of the dairy. From information gathered during my first year at the College it was apparent that this foundation work should have first attention. At this time but six to eight …

Bulletin No. 72 - A Soil Survey In Salt Lake Valley, Utah, Frank D. Gardner, John Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Beginning in July, 1899, four months were spent in a thorough and detailed study of that portion of the Salt Lake Valley lying west of the Jordan River, the object being to map the soils with reference to their character and to the extent of, and damage from, "alkali" and seepage waters. The soils were classified according to their texture, and the waters examined with reference to their quality for irrigation purposes. The soils were further studied with reference to their "alkali" content and its effect in varying amounts upon the crops and vegetation. The methods of irrigation were looked …

Bulletin No. 69 - The Golden Vine Field Pea: Its Chemical Composition And Forage Value, John Stewart

UAES Bulletins

For some time past the Division of Agrostology has been conducting investigations in various parts of the United States with a view to the preservation of our native grasses, the introduction of new varieties, and the improvement of the ranges. The investigation in Texas, where the once fine ranges have been seriously injured or totally destroyed on account of the greed and carelessness of stockmen, is an important one.

In his last report, the Secretary of Agriculture recommends that provisions be made for renting the public lands, suitable for grazing purposes, to stockmen and sheepmen for a number of years. …

Bulletin No. 66 - Corn Experiments, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

A number of varieties of flint and dent corns have been successfully grown at the Experiment Station for the past ten years. A sufficiently large number of kinds have been under test to prove beyond question that all of the best flint varieties, the smaller dents and the semi-dents will fully mature in the locality of the Experiment Station, the extreme northern portion of the State; but the climatic conditions cannot be considered as especially favorable to corn growing, the seasons being rather too short and the general temperature too low for the medium and larger dents to be successfully …

Bulletin No. 67 - Poultry Experiments, James Dryden

The results of the third year's work in egg production at this Station, together with the summing up of the results of the three years, are given herewith. The third year's work began Nov. 7,1898, and ended Nov. 1,1899. Some of the experiments originally planned have run the full period of three years. In addition to a continuation of the original work a set of feeding experiments was conducted during the third year. This latter work was made possible by the erection of an addition to the poultry house which doubled the experimental capacity of the building and made possible …

Report Upon The Aculeate Hmenoptera Of The Islands Of St. Vinvent And Grenada, With Additions To The Parasitic Hymenoptera And A List Of The Described Hymenoptera Of The West Indies., William H. Ashmead

An

HAVING done so much work on the Terebrant Hymenoptera of St. Vincent and Grenada, it was with consider-able pleasure that I received, early in June 1807, a letter from Mr. George Murray, informing me that it was the desire of the West Indies Natural History Exploration Committee to transmit to me, to be worked up, the Aculeate Hymenoptera collected by Herbert H. Smith in these islands; that in a few days he expected to leave on an exploring expedition to the South Seas to be gone all summer, and if I could do the work to send my reply to …

Bulletin No. 61 - Alfalfa Or Lucern: The Cutting Time. Its Feeding Value., Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

These experiments, as originally planed, had for their object the determination of the best time to cut alfalfa in order to secure the most profitable annual yield, its chemical composition, digestibility and the results of feeding trials being considered. A comparison of the yield and feeding value of the first, second and third crops was also made a part of the investigation, and as with the different cuttings, the composition and digestibility formed a part of the work. In conducting this experiment to determine the comparative feeding value of the various cuttings and of the different crops of alfalfa, some …

Bulletin No. 57 - By-Products Of The Dairy, F. B. Linfield

UAES Bulletins

Soon after becoming connected with the Station, the writer, from observations made in various parts of the State, was impressed with the necessity for investigation looking to the profitable disposal of the by-products of the dairy, both at the factory and on the farm. The common method at the factories seemed to be to feed hogs on milk or whey alone, and where grain was fed, it was only given to finish the hog for market. This method of management did not appear to be successful, for it generally took the whole season to get one crop of hogs ready …

Bulletin No. 54 - Cattle Feeding, Luther Foster, Lewis A. Merrill

UAES Bulletins

For three successive seasons, just preceding the work herein detailed, experiments had been conducted at this Station for the purpose of determining the comparative yield and feeding value of early, medium and late cut lucern, also of the first, second and third crops, the object being to decide, by chemical tests and feeding trials, at just what period of its growth lucern should be cut for the best results, and, pound per pound, the relative value of the different crops.

Bulletin No. 52 - The Chemical Composition Of Utah Soils (Cache And Sanpete Counties), John A. Widtsoe

UAES Bulletins

The soils of the State [Utah], as found by the Mormon pioneers of 1847, were virgin in the fullest sense of the word. As far as man knows, only a few patches in Southern Utah had ever been cultivated. For untold centuries the atmospheric forces, unhindered by man's intervention, had been allowed to weather and make fit for agricultural purposes the rock fragments that, washed down into the valleys from the mountain ranges, constitute the soils of the State. For a long period, also, long before human tradition begins, there had not been enough water in the Utah valleys to …
