Some Common Game, Aquatic, and Rapacious Birds in Relation to Man

Description: "Careful study of the food habits of the game birds, including the group known as shore birds, shows that these birds are of great value to the farmer. The water birds, as the grebes, gulls, and terns, have greater economic value and do less harm than is ordinarily supposed, while some species, like Franklin's gull and the black tern, are markedly beneficial.

Some Common Mammals of Western Montana in Relation to Agriculture and Spotted Fever

Description: "Since it is known that spotted fever is communicated from wild animals to human beings by the bite of infected wood ticks and that the two younger stages live almost entirely on small native rodents -- from which they occasionally contract the infection -- it is evident that these tick hosts should be destroyed, at least around ranches.

Although frequently regarded as a troublesome weed, sweet clover seldom encroaches upon cultivated land, while its value as a forage crop, as a soil renovator, and as a forerunner of alfalfa, in addition to its widespread utilization as a honey plant, makes it desirable to point out under what conditions its use is to be recommended and where its cultivation sh… more

Timothy Production on Irrigated Land in the Northwestern States

Description: "The production of timothy hay is an important industry in many of the irrigated valleys of the Northwestern States. Some of the methods which have been developed in growing the timothy hay crop in one or more of these valleys are not practiced or known in other important timothy-producing areas. One of the most important of these practices, which has but a limited use, is that of growing alfalfa in place of clover in mixture with the timothy. This practice is at present used in only a few of t… more
