Bulletin No. 36 - Relative Value Of Corn And Oats For Horses, A. A. Mills

UAES Bulletins

This Bulletin reports the continuation of the study of the best nutritive ratio for horses under moderate work. The experiment was so arranged that a direct comparison could be made between oats and corn as the principal grain ration. The work was planned by Prof. J. W. Sanborn, who was then Director of the Station.

Bulletin No. 30 - Narrow Vs. Wide Nutrituve Rations For Horses, J. W. Sanborn

UAES Bulletins

In the third annual report of this Station (1892) the result of feeding wide and narrow nutritive rations to horses was given. This trial was favorable to the narrow nutritive ration. This ration was made up of clover, oats and wheat", while the wide ration was made up of timothy and corn. The trial ran through the summer, when the influence of what has been termed heating food, like corn, might be less effective than in the winter season. Many believe that the more varieties of food given the better the result, as the palatableness of food, it is claimed, …

Bulletin No. 31 - Time To Harvest Lucerne. Mulching., J. W. Sanborn

UAES Bulletins

The opinion has prevailed in scientific as well as in practical circles, that hay cut before or during bloom is more valuable, pound for pound, than when cut at a later period, and it is even maintained that the gross product per acre is more valuable. The old assumption, now somewhat modified, that as plants mature a part of the starch and sugar is converted into fibre, and that the nutrition of the stem is moved into the seed, led to the belief that early-cut hay was both more digestible and more valuable than that cut at a later period. …

Bulletin No. 27 - Irrigation; Early, Late And Usual, J. W. Sanborn

UAES Bulletins

Bulletin No. 23 reported the results of the first three years' trials in early and late irrigation. The trial reported in this Bulletin is a continuation of the trials reported in the Bulletin. above mentioned. The purpose of the experiment is to ascertain whether water added to the soil very early is so far stored that it will be available later in the season, and whether late irrigation has an injurious effect on the crop through its influence on development of stem and leaf at the expense of the seed; or, again, whether it is necessary to irrigate crops later …
