The use of fats in cooking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The cost of food is the all important question at the present time. Our people must be fed. The problem is to discover what available foods will give the most nutritive value at a minimum cost. When we observe that a pound ...
Study of difficult churning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
There is at the present time a lack of definite knowledge as to why cream, at certain times, fails to give up its fat in the form of butter. This trouble occurs most commonly where only one or two cows are kept, the usual ...
The extraction and recovery of radium from low grade American pitchblende ores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
The pitchblende deposits of the United States are widely distributed, altho the most extensive deopsits are found in Colorado. In the past many of them yielded ore carrying high percentages of uranium oxie (U[subscript ...
Relative influence of the sire and dam upon the inheritance of speed in standard trotting horses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
Since the study of the transmission of character began, a diversity of opinion has existed and some data have been secured upon the relative influence of sire and dam in the production of offspring. From the limited data ...
The killing of plant tissue by low temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
and different tissues. This paper studies the effects of cold weather on plant tissue, specifically concerning tissue death and the preventative measures that have been taken in the past and could be taken in the future. It is focused on Missouri apples, peaches...
The effect of soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply upon the root development of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
After summarizing previous experiments pertaining to soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply on various plants, specifically grains, he details his own experiments on these effects on the root development of maize. ...
Investigation upon the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content of three beef animals, with special study upon the forms of sulfur
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
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 ...
A study of the processes of fat metabolism and methods for the determination of fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
Our present conception of how fat is absorbed is indeed very modern. The most work has been done within the last fifteen or twenty years. It shall be my purpose to go into a detailed account of the work of modern investigators, ...
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...
A study of the chemical composition of steers on different planes of nutrition and of the relative cost of maintenance and growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
This thesis describes the methods and results of an experiment carried out by the author to discover what affect diet has on the composition of beef cattle.
Some factors influencing the lipase content of the blood
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
From the review of the literature of the lipase content of the blood it appears that no consistent series of determinations have been made through a period of time sufficient to learn under just what conditions the variation ...
Age as a factor in animal breeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
The experiment furnishing the basis for this discussion was begun in 1909 by Director F.B. Mumford and has since been continued under his general direction. Swine were used in the experiment since they probably lend ...
