and comment to both practical farmers and agricultural investigators as well. Strange as it may seem, however, there has been practically no work done to discover why the maize plant, or any other grain normally bisexual, should be sterile. Many theories have...

In all plants, including fungi and algae, as well as higher forms, this periodicity of growth, due to season, nutrition, environment, etc., is seen. Practically all temperate zone plants exhibit a yearly periodicity. The ...

and in most cases incomplete. Furthermore, a great deal of the data as presented by various investigators cannot be compared because of lack of uniformity in reporting results as well as in the selection of samples for analysis. Forbes in his bulletin on "The...

Text from page 174: This was an initial effort to feed silage as a part ration to horses and mules of various ages and under varying conditions at the Missouri Experiment Station. The data in the 1915-1916 tests are not sufficient to make possible...

investigations begun at the Missouri Experiment Station in the spring of 1907, a considerable number of beef animals have been slaughtered. Most of these animals were secured at birth and were fed for definite conditions of development. This investigation...

treatments upon the humus content of Missouri soils two lines of experiment were carried out. First, a study of the effect of crop rotation and manures upon the humus and nitrogen content of soils as evidenced in the rotation plats of the Missouri Experiment...

The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important ...

The purpose of the digestion trials, to be discussed in this paper, was to determine the effect of various factors on the ability of the animal to digest its food. The object of these experiments is somewhat different from the great majority...

The special object of these experiments is to compare the efficiency and economy of rations which are conducive to rapid growth with rations of such character as to admit of but limited growth....

This thesis explores the chemical composition of beef cattle, with special attention given to nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content. A review of previous research is provided as well as a description of an experiment carried out...

This investigation was undertaken in order that something might be learned concerning: (a) the cost of maintenance of live weight in ungrown cattle; (b) the effect of a maintenance ration upon the condition of ungrown ...
