Natural & artificial digestion of crude fiber compared with chemical methods of estimation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In digestion trials at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station on feeding steers in the "Use of Food" investigations it has been found that 84- 65 percent of the total feed is digested while it was observed that considerable was present...
The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
the air by symbiotic fixation. A minor experiment was added to determine the effect of quantities of organic matter on the location of nodules. In working on these problems it was found possible to obtain information of other points of interest...
A study of the treatment of the intestinal parasites of swine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
Parasitic infestation of the intestines is one of the most serious and wide spread diseases of swine. With the exception of cholera there is probably no other one disease causing greater loss to hog owners. Parasitism, ...
