Artificial Insemination Of Turkeys, H. L. Wiegers

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Artificial insemination should be used for turkeys when results from natural matings are unsatisfactory. There is no hard and fast fertility rule to follow and each breeder will have his own basis of appraisal for the different varieties of turkeys. But one can say that when fertility drops below 65 per cent it is time to take action.

Electric Chick Brooding Studies, F. D. Yung, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons to be learned from a study of chick brooding is that good results can often be obtained in more ways than one. In carrying on work with electric brooders at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, special attention has been given to such factors as insulation and to other details of design which effect economy of operation and ease of construction. Low cost rather than "cheapness" has been the ideal. The work has been cooperative between the Agricultural Engineering Department and the Poultry Husbandry Department of the University of Nebraska.

An Analysis Of The Accounting System Of Los Poblanos Ranch, John Perovich

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

Because farms very so much in size, it would be impractical, it not impossible, to adopt a standard accounting procedure that would meet the requirements of all farmers. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze each form to determine what records are required for its needs. Once an accounting system is adapted to a farm, it is simply a matter of conforming to the procedures established.

Poultry Progress: Our Egg Marketing Job, F. E. Mussehl, H. C. Filley

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Eggs are one of the products which Nebraska farm families exchange for the necessities and comforts of life. Although values are measured in dollars and cents, the interest of the producers centers in the amount of useful goods and services that the eggs will buy rather than in the price per dozen or per case. Farmers are interested in a fair exchange value because they wish better homes, better schools, better churches, and better communities in general. In the typical Nebraska community, not only farmers but physicians, merchants, mechanics and school teachers are dependent for their income, either directly or …

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The desire for improvement is one of the highest of human virtues. Folks everywhere want good chickens. The poultry business is a competitive enterprise, and it is imperative that we have the best stock possible for the particular job to be done. But what are good chickens? Is there confusion about the term? Perhaps we can clarify the picture by asking one or two questions.

Poultry Progress: How Long Should A Chicken Live?, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Increased laying flock mortality has disturbed thoughtful hatcherymen, producers, processors, and research workers for several years, and very properly so, because hens which die before their time serve no useful purpose, except to raise in our minds the question, "Why?"

The Granger Movement In Wisconsin, Ruth Johnson

Why Some Hens Lay More Eggs Than Others, H. E. Alder

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The 1929 report of the Storrs Egg Laying Contest, which has been conducted at Storrs, Connecticut, twenty-one years, shows that the best pen of ten hens entered laid 2,802 eggs, and the poorest pen laid 829 eggs. In the best pen the average egg production per hen was 280, 2 eggs as compared with 82.9 eggs per bird in the poorest pen. Why did the one pen lay so many eggs, and the other so few? This prompts us to try to find out what factors are responsible for the number of eggs a hen lays in the course of …

Progress And Tendencies Of Farm Accounting, Leslie W. Duquaine

Bachelors’ Theses

Farming is a business which if successful must be con­ducted in a business-like manner. It involves the production and sale of commodities, just as does manufacturing and therefore the business man, whether in the factory or on the farm should be constantly considering the question of profit ant how such profit can be increased. An adequate accounting system leads directly to a means of arriving at the amount of net profit the business is making and the efficiency in the management of the business. The problem confronting the farmer is to meed conditions on his farm in a way that …

Farmers Co-Operative Marketing Associations, Lloyd Victor Weyenberg

Bachelors’ Theses

In the United States a large number of co-operative stores have been started at various times, but comparatively few of them have survived for a long period. However, it is not so much the consumer co-operative societies, but the farmers distributive or marketing societies in the United States, that we are interested in. The following chapters will deal exclusively with the co-operative marketing movement as it affects the farmers of the United States.

Farm Accounting, W. M. Daley

Bachelors’ Theses

From the literature on the subject nearly allot which has been published during the last five or six years, one might be led to believe that there was some thing strange and uncommon about keeping records of business transactions on the farm. In the last several years, many record book and bulletin on farm bookkeeping and farm costs have been published. With very few exceptions these bulletins deal with the subject from a purely statistical point of view, without involving principles of double entry book-keeping or the fundamentals of accounting theory. Very often they fail to provide for proper correlation …

The importance of the development of pig-raising as one of the primary industries of Western Australia cannot be too greatly stressed.

Marketing Nebraska Potatoes, J. O. Rankin

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Marketing Nebraska potatoes is no less important than raising them. It is often much more difficult, yet the pay for this service is grudgingly given. Failure to secure a good market causes more men to hesitate to enter or stay in the potato business than field risks. The full usefulness of the potato has not been secured until it is on the consumer's table. Every process necessary to get it there is a useful and productive process and the grower is no less productively engaged when working to find a market or to get these perishable wares into it than …

From Car Door To Consumer, H. C. Filley

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The Nebraska College of Agriculture and the Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture conducted during 1916 an investigation to ascertain the extent to which merchandise is sold from the car and the advantages and disadvantages of this method of marketing.
