This bulletin includes the results of two experiments in feeding cattle as follows: Part I Sunflower Silage for Steers. Part II Corn Smut Silage for Pregnant Cows

Test of Universality in Anisotropic 3D Ising Model

Chen and Dohm predicted theoretically in 2004 that the widely believed universality principle is violated in the Ising model on the simple cubic lattice with more than only six nearest neighbours. Schulte and Drope by Monte Carlo simulations found such violation, but not in the predicted direction. Selke and Shchur tested the square lattice. Here we check only this universality for the susceptibility ratio near the critical point. For this purpose we study first the standard Ising model on a simple cubic lattice with six nearest neighbours, then with six nearest and twelve next-nearest neighbours, and compare the results with the Chen-Dohm lattice of six nearest neighbours and only half of the twelve next-nearest neighbours. We do not confirm the violation of universality found by Schulte and Drope in the susceptibility ratio.Comment: 6 pages including 4 figures, Physica A, in pres

Evaluation of Shugor, Dubasi and Watish subtypes of Sudan Desert sheep at the El-Huda National Sheep Research Station, Gezira Province, Sudan

Presents results obtained from a trial conducted at El-Huda National Sheep Research Station, Sudan, Shugor, Dubasi and Watish subtypes of Sudan Desert sheep to compare productivity, reproductivity and animal performance, with particular reference to lambing, lambing intervals, body weight, growth rates and mortality rates, incl. recommendations for further investigations

Forage Crops for Lambs

The object of the experiment was to ascertain the value of different forage crops for the Iamb in the fall of the year when the pasture grasses become partially dried and the ewes lessen in their feed for the Iamb. The condition of the Iamb at marketing time is governed chiefly by the kind of feed it and its dam have received since birth of lamb, and anything that can be done to increase its growth and condition must be considered an advantage. We consider it a good practice to wean the spring Iamb in early fall when pastures begin to dry up so the ewe will have time to build up before cold weather

Improving Winter Rations for Pigs

An efficient winter ration for fall pigs is one which supplies not only the essential nutrients of a balanced ration but which also furnishes adequately those energizing elements which are obtained so abundantly, even if incidentally, from direct sunlight and succulent pasture during the summer months. The standard ration of yellow corn and tankage is not a very efficient winter ration for fall pigs because these feeds do not supply sufficiently the vitamins which are so necessary for satisfactory growth and development. Fortunately, this practical and popular ration may be easily improved by the addition of alfalfa hay and linseed meal, or buttermilk

Cut Vertices and Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Processes

Cut vertices, a generalization of matrix elements of local operators, are revisited, and an expansion in terms of minimally subtracted cut vertices is formulated. An extension of the formalism to deal with semi-inclusive deep inelastic processes in the target fragmentation region is explicitly constructed. The problem of factorization is discussed in detail.Comment: LaTex2e, 24 pages including 17 postscript figure

Rations for Pigs

On January 1, 1915, there were 1,263,655 head of swine in South Dakota or 253,734 more than on the same date in 1910. While the census figures for the period ending 1920 are not yet available it is estimated that they will show at least a total of 2,300,000 head. The increased production was caused partially by the high prices of pork and also a desire on the part of the producers to do their part in winning the war. Again, the boys\u27 and girls\u27 pig club work in many counties, supervised by the Extension Division of this College has been a factor in this increased production. Sections of South Dakota which were formerly considered suitable for range purposes only have been transformed into tillable fields. These fields are yielding abundantly of the legumes and grains that are necessary for the production of first class meat products. There are two outlets in South Dakota for fat hogs; the Missouri river and the Pacific coast markets. Light live hogs are shipped weekly in double decked cars from Mitchell across the Rockies. Some claim this western market to be better than the central markets.This bulletin includes results of two experiments:Part 1. Protein supplements for pigs while in cornfield.Part II Fishmeal vs. Tankage; value .of different ways of feeding barley; value of bluegrass pasture for fattening pigs
