Feeding The Dairy Herd, Ervin Kurtz, Hollis Hall, Howard Voelker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Dairy cows, in order to make milk in large quantities, must be supplied with liberal amounts of the raw material from which milk can be made. That means good feed.The average production of South Dakota milk cows for 1961 was 5,700 pounds of milk and 205 pounds of butterfat. Much of this relatively low production is due to poor feed and lack of enough feed. Production and feed records shown in table 5 reveal that one way to get increased production is to give the cows more feed. Feed is the greatest single item of expense in producing milk. It …

Symbols Of Christmas, Kay Sharp Nelson

SDSU Extension Circulars

People, when happy, express themselves in many ways. Traditions, customs, and symbols of Christmas have come to America from almost as many lands as we have peoples, brought here by our forefathers and observed, with only slight modification, down through the years. Traditions are the unwritten stories, beliefs, and activities that are handed down from generation to generation, customs so long continued that they almost become the force of law. Symbols are objects (animate or inanimate) that represent emblems, figures, or understanding such as a creed or belief. The symbols are used to express traditions.

Ornamental Trees And Shrubs For Landscape Plantings In South Dakota, Dean M. Martin

SDSU Extension Circulars

In selecting trees or shrubs for the home grounds, public grounds or the farmstead two questions come to mind. (1) Is the plant suitable for the purpose intended? (2) Is the plant adapted to the location? Plants which can tolerate extremely low temperatures and other adverse conditions are referred to as being hardy. The ability of a plant to endure these conditions is due to the genetic make-up of the plant, its life processes, and the environmental conditions in which it is growing. The genetic make-up of the plant governs its hereditary characteristics which are passed from one generation to …

Safe Rural Water Supplies, Cooperative Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

A safe water supply source should be obtained from an uncontaminated water-bearing formation or from a properly located and constructed farm pond. The water should be pleasing to drink, bacteriologically and chemically safe, and delivered through a system which will keep it safe at all times. To accomplish this, the water source and system must be located and constructed to keep out surface and near-surface contamination, or be continuously treated.

Production of high quality fruit in home plantings depends on the control of several insect pests and diseases.

Rural Sewage Disposal, Cooperative Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

A sanitary sewage disposal system is necessary to dispose of human excreta in rural homes where public sewers are not available. Sewage wastes, if not properly disposed of, are dangerous because they contain living bacteria and viruses, some of which are of disease producing types. For this reason, every effort should be made to prevent health problems and to dispose of all human wastes so that no opportunity will exist for contamination of water or food. This circular outlines the basic principles of design, construction, installation, and maintenance of a septic tank and subsurface disposal system for rural residences where …

A Survey Of The Helminth Parasites Of Pheasants From Brown County, South Dakota, Donald E. Gilbertson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Previous to this study, little or no literature was available …

Food Dollars And Sense, Ruth B. Amidon

SDSU Extension Circulars

Having enough money to "eat as you please" is no assurance of an adequate diet. Dollars spent for food without a consideration of food and health needs of the family are dollars spent without "sense." The purpose here is not to propose spending less money for food but to discover how to get more value for the money spent. The "Basic Four Food Guide" has been devised to make choosing an adequate well balanced diet easy for anyone. The variety of foods with-in each group makes it possible to choose a well balanced diet to suit almost any taste or …

They attend church activities together; they have special festive occasions; home and tree decorations often represent certain incidents or memories to cherish. The philosophy of "doing-for-others" grows stronger at Christmas time.
