Meal Planning For South Dakota 4-H Girls, Jane Meyer

SDSU Extension Circulars

Cooking's fun, so let's begin! Even if you're a very young 4-H girl, you can cook. But, you must start with simple foods. As you learn more, and practice, cooking will be easier. You can then make more difficult dishes, and even plan and prepare some family meals. Let's start by learning some basic rules. You need to be neat and clean; you should always be safe; you should measure correctly; you must know how to read recipes. A good cook knows and follows these rules. You'll want to know them too!

Weather In The Making, Ray F. Pengra

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The objective of this pamphlet is to present some of the basic atmospheric phenomena that are related to weather. It is hoped that this will give research workers and others interested a general idea of how weather develops in the atmosphere and make possible a more realistic application of available weather data to agricultural research. Data and illustrations from "The Pilot's Weather Handbook" and the 1955 "Yearbook of Agriculture", as well as other government publications, are presented to provide an application of weather factors to agriculture and its problems.

Rat And Mouse Control On The Farm, John A. Lofgren

SDSU Extension Circulars

Each year the Norway ( or brown) rat and the common house mouse consume thousands of bushels of grain and other foods on South Dakota farms. They attack grain in the field and in farm storage. At the time they consume the grain they also pollute and contaminate it by their droppings, urine and hair. Every 24 hours each rat voids an average of 70 pellets and about 15 cc of urine. Such contamination makes food grains subject to seizure by the Food and Drug Administration because they are unfit for human use. The monetary losses resulting from such seizure …

Assessment Values And Taxes On Farm Land In South Dakota 1955 And 1956, Ray F. Pengra

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Records in the Register of Deeds office on farm land sales were listed to secure the following report. When consideration was not given in the deed Internal Revenue stamps were used to secure an estimate of the consideration. Information on assessed valuations and amount of taxes were secured from the assessors' records and the auditors' books. Only those tracts were used for which consideration, assessment values and amount of taxes levied for both 1955 and 1956 were available on the tract sold. Where only part of a tract assessed was sold, the sale was omitted in this tabulation.

The climatological year has been considered as from March 1 through February 28 or 29 of the following calendar year in order to present data for …

Strengthening Farms And Ranches In South Dakota: A Preliminary Report Prepared For The South Dakota Legislative Research Council, Pierre, South Dakota, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

There is much concern over the future of agriculture. Farm and ranch incomes have been falling as a result of the decline in farm produce prices since 1951 and continued h:gh costs of machinery and other means of production. Because of these factors and the capacity of modern machinery, farmers and ranchers have been increasing the size of their operating units. As farms and ranches increased in size, rural population has been decreasing. This decline in rural population has had serious effects upon the rural community and rural life. Schools, churches and local government units are seriously affected in areas …

Meat : Selection-Care-Cookery, Rena Wills

SDSU Extension Circulars

Meats are excellent protein foods. Meat protein contains generous amounts of the essential amino acids. These are the amino acids which your food must provide to enable your body to build its protein. Protein rich vegetables and cereals may lack one or more of these essential amino acids. Meat enhances their protein value when it is served with them. The B vitamins and the minerals--phosphorus, iron and copper--are found along with protein in the meat. Pork is an exceptionally good source of thiamine and iron. Under ordinary circumstances, if your protein needs are met, your body's need for the B …

Make A Slip Cover, Rosa M. Starkey

SDSU Extension Circulars

A well-made, properly styled slip cover has a place in today's home decoration, for it can give a new and fresh appearance to a room. The slip cover described in this bulletin is made in several ·separate sections. With this method the number of sections will depend on the structure of the chair. Usually the back is one finished piece, each arm one piece, the seat-base and seat-front one piece, and the cushion one piece, totaling five separate sections. Because this slip cover has separate sections, it is easy to make and easy to fit smoothly to the chair. When …

Some Observations Pertaining To The Effects Of Relaxin Upon The Bovine, Vincent Allen Hall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The process of birth normally follows a set pattern. The main steps in chronological order are: labor, opening of the cervix, and delivering the young. The cervix serves an important function in reproduction. The cervix is the constricted portion separating the uterus and the vagina, and consists primarily of thick connective tissues especially constructed in folds forming a hollow tube. Through the cervix passes sperm, menstrual debris and in pregnancy the newborn. During pregnancy a mucous plug forms in the cervix and keeps out foreign material and bacteria. In the non-pregnant cow the opening is small. The cervix opening is …

Bloat Results From Various Drenchings Including Effectiveness Of Penicillin For Prevention, Clarence Leonard Moore

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Body conformation is associated with function among all classes of livestock. Dairy cattle type deals with characteristics indicating ability to produce milk and butterfat economically along with breed character and other values of an aesthetic nature. In order to have economical milk and butterfat production, the dairy cow should possess that type of body conformation which is able to withstand the rigors of disease, reproduction and year after year milk production. A large percentage of dairy cattle sold in South Dakota and surrounding territory, whether for breeding purpose or commercial production, are evaluated primarily on the basis of their type. …
