Phases Of Poultry Work (Caponizing And Capons), Clara M. Sutter

SDSU Extension Circulars

No farmer in South Dakota would think of keeping all male animals for breeding purposes unless he had an opportunity to sell them to other breeders, for he ·would realize that the price on the open market would be much less than for castrated animals. It is a well-known fact that castration changes the male animal so that it is easily handled, less nervous and excitable, and more easily fattened. Therefore, all male sheep, hogs, cattle, and horses not need for breeding purposes are subjected to this operation while young.

Since fully 75 percent of all poultry shipped from the farm to the market are not fat enough to kill, the subject of feeding is an important one. When the live fowls arrive at the packing plant, they are placed in crates to be fattened for from five to fourteen days, according to age and condition, before being killed. Sometimes men buy the poultry from the farms at a low rate, fatten for the required length of time, then sell to the packer, thus making the money for the quick gain that the producers might have had for a little …

They are the first to get disease, often spreading it among the healthy ones.

Definite Corn Breeding Plots, Ralph E. Johnston, George H. Valentine

There is no certainty among plant breeders as regards the origin of the corn plant.

Regardless of the origin of the corn plant we are very sure that great strides have been made in the development of the corn plant and there is no reason why we should assume that further development will not take place.


Decorative Stitches And Handmade Flowers, Azalea Linfield Jan 1923

Decorative Stitches And Handmade Flowers, Azalea Linfield

SDSU Extension Circulars

The decorations of a garment need not be elaborate or expensive. The elaborately decorated dress is often in poor taste. Simple embroidery or self-trimming add to the appearance of garments. A simple little hand touch will usually add distinction and charm. The most expensive gowns from the most exclusive shops are extremes in simplicity. The more decoration used on ready to wear garments usually the cheaper the garment. Decoration is too often used to hide inferior workmanship and poor quality. The decoration may make or mar the dress. The trimming used must look as though it belonged to the garment.
