Better Rations - More Eggs, F. E. Mussehl
Better Rations - More Eggs, F. E. Mussehl
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Well-bred and well-fed hens are conceded to be economical producers of a very wholesome food product, eggs, but our hens are not miracle workers and they insist on the right kind of raw material for building the egg. Nebraska poultry growers fortunately have all the natural feeds - corn, wheat, oats, barley, and dairy and packing house by-products - readily available at lower cash prices than prevail in most other states, and so our special problem is that of combining them so that eggs may be produced at the lowest cost per dozen.
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Milk good cows. It pays if you know how. Good dairy cows will always make money. Scrub, poor, or common cows never bring a good profit and usually cause a loss. Why waste feed and labor on inefficient producers, the kind that never make a satisfactory profit? Join a cow testing association. Let the tester keep books on your cows and let the milk scale and the milk sheet point out the money makers. Improvement comes only from selection and breeding.
Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Calf raising begins before the calf is born. A cow that is healthy and in good physical condition will, in all probability, drop a strong, vigorous calf. The feeding and care of the cow before calving is therefore of the greatest importance for the future development of the calf.
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Cows produce milk from feed and water only. Therefore feed in proper quantity and quality is usually the limiting factor governing a cow's production up to the limit of her capacity.
Tuberculosis Of Swine, L. Van Es
Tuberculosis Of Swine, L. Van Es
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The tuberculosis of swine constitutes a definite and very interesting section of the general problem of the tuberculoses of warm-blooded animals. No one section of this general tuberculosis problem can be adequately solved without regard to all the other sections into which it may be divided. The disease in swine is perhaps the most outstanding example which illustrates this point. This animal, extremely susceptible to tuberculous disease, but without a type of infection specifically its own, derives its infection by contact with any of the types of tuberculosis of warm-blooded animals.
These Fifty Years: A History Of The College Of Agriculture Of The University Of Nebraska, R. P. Crawford
These Fifty Years: A History Of The College Of Agriculture Of The University Of Nebraska, R. P. Crawford
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It seems especially appropriate at this time to publish a history of the College of Agriculture of the University of Nebraska. The year 1922 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the formal establishment of the college by the Board of Regents, while the year 1924 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the enrollment of the first students in agricultural subjects. It is hoped and intended that this little volume shall preserve for the future much valuable material that would otherwise soon be forgotten.
