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.

To those who are exhibiting for the first time there comes many a question in regard to the selection of the birds to be shown and the preparations to be made after they have been chosen.

Phases Of Poultry Work (Feeding For Market), Clara M. Sutter
SDSU Extension Circulars
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 …

Phases Of Poultry Work (Diseases Of Young Chicks), Clara M. Sutter

Feeding too soon, crowding, chilling, or overheating caused the death of many young chicks. Much loss is cause by saving the weak or crippled chicks which were not strong enough to get out of the shell by themselves.

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. Certain authorities claim that corn originated in Mexico from a cross between game grass and a cross between a sport of teosinte grass and the original 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
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.
