Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheep Management: A Handbook for the Shepherd and Student There are several books on sheep husbandry written by good authorities on the subject which have been of great aid to ﬂockmasters. However, there is need for a book written in simple, compre hensible: every-day language dealing with the practical problems of sheep husbandry. This book has been prepared not only to serve the shepherd in his every-day work, but also to meet the require ments of the student in the classroom. Numerous inquiries from ﬂocko'wners from many sections'of the country for information rela tive to sheep husbandry and the troubles connected with the industry, the requests of many friends and students, and especially the urgent requests of Dean Henry and later of Dean Russell, both of the College of Agriculture of the University of vviscon sin, have induced the author to prepare this book. Judging from many letters recei'ved, not only the beginners with sheep, but also some of the more experienced men, often have many difficulties.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheep, Farm and Station Management OR many years there has been a demand in sheep-raising F countries for a book that will serve as a guide, philosopher and friend to the man engaged in producing two of the world's staple commodities, wool and meat, and with a view to satisfying the demand I have attempted, in the narrow confines of this volume, to furnish advice on the many questions with which the sheep man is faced in the course of his work. It should be understood that what is written is primarily for the assistance of the beginner although it is hoped that even the man with years of practical experience will find in the following pages some hints or helpful suggestions that were previously outside his knowledge. I have been particularly fortunate in compiling this work in having at my disposal the columns of The Pastoral Review, a publication which, as its name implies, -is devoted to the furtherance of the grazing and farming industries, and whose pages are replete with articles on every conceivable phase of sheep husbandry, written not by professional journalists, but by men who have been through the mill, and whose contributions are based on knowledge acquired during long and practical experience. It is this knowledge that I have endeavoured to put together in con densed and consecutive form, covering the whole field from the taking up of an unimproved block of country and dealing with every phase of station and farm management including construction of improvements choice of breed of sheep - with description of each a brief discussion on wool, every regular operation on a sheep property, such as mating, lambing, marking, classing, shearing, dipping, etc., the diseases of sheep and their treatment, and so on.

They are, in fact, commonly used in cleaning up weeds from fields, fence rows, road sides, stubble fields, and corn fields. The common belief among, farmers is that weeds eaten by sheep are so broken up in the digestive processes that the seeds will not germinate after passing through the body as in the case of other live stock. However, weeds are rarely permitted to go to seed if enough sheep are' turned in the field while the weeds, are young and tender.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steer and Lamb Feeding The experiments in feeding cattle and sheep, the results of which are recorded in the following pages, were conducted during the winters of 1901 - 2 and 1902 - 3. These experiments are the first of their character that have been conducted at this Station. However, considerable feeding has been done in some parts of the Territory, but so far as known, no rec ords have been kept and information as to the results cannot be obtained. There has been some demand in the past for information on feeding in New Mexico, and it is believed that the need for such information will be much greater in the future. Upon the completion of storage reservoirs and the development of irrigation systems, which will result in the reclamation of immense arid areas, the feeding industry will command much attention among farmers. There is little information avail able to the New Mexico farmer and ranchman upon feeding, and therefore, it is thought desirable to publish the data thus far secured upon this subject. The results obtained are suggestive of the possibilities, - the conclusions, however, are only tentative, there not having been a sufficient number of trials from which to draw them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feeds and Feeding Abridged: The Essentials of the Feeding, Care, and Management of Farm, Animals, Including Poultry, Adapted and Condensed From Feeds and Feeding (Eighteenth Edition) "Feeds and Feeding," first published in March, 1898, was received with widespread favor by practical stockmen and by the teachers and students of animal husbandry in this country. Since this date seventeen editions have come from the press, and the book has been twice entirely rewritten to include new and important data. Many stockmen rely upon "Feeds and Feeding" as the guide in their feeding operations, and it is the standard text on stock feeding in practically all the agricultural colleges in this country. As Feeds and Feeding covers the feeding and care of each class of live stock in a comprehensive manner, it is of necessity a large book, containing much detailed information. With the rapid development of special agricultural courses in secondary schools and of short courses in the agricultural colleges, a demand arose for a simplified and condensed edition of the work. In response to this demand "Feeds and Feeding, Abridged," was prepared in 1917 by the undersigned, with the editorial aid of Professor W. A. Henry. The book was based chiefly upon Feeds and Feeding but the subject matter was so condensed and simplified as to adapt it for use in brief courses in stock feeding. Omitting topics of purely scientific interest, the most essential facts concerning animal nutrition and the practical feeding, care, and management of farm animals were presented in the simplest possible terms. The immediate and widespread demand for the book has been a pleasant surprise, five printings having already been required. This edition has been carefully revised to meet the changed conditions since the World War and to include important new information on the feeding of live stock. In most brief books on stock feeding the care and management of stock receive scant attention, but in "Feeds and Feeding, Abridged" these subjects, which are of the utmost practical importance, are fully treated. To aid the teacher and the student, each chapter closes with questions covering the subject matter, and 116 engravings illustrate some of the most important points. Since the subject of poultry feeding is commonly included in live stock feeding: in secondary schools, chapters have been added on the feeding and care of poultry. Altho thus covering a larger field, "Feeds and Feedings, Abridged" contains but half as much text matter as "Feeds and Feeding."
