It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract

According to tho twelfth census, Iowa led the states of the union in the number of chickens three months old and over, having June 1, 1900, 18,907,673. The value of poultry raised in 1899 was $9,491,818.00 and the value of eggs produced during that time $10,016,707.00. Allowing for the necessary incorrectness of such statistics it is still certain that we have in this state a vast poultry industry whose interests are deserving of our closest attention.

The mite attacks other species of domestic fowls besides the chicken, also at times becomes a serious pest to horses stabled with fowls or near them and even becomes parasitic upon man. This bulletin, however, deals only with the mite as it affects chickens, but the principles which it sets forth can be applied equally well in all conditions under which the mite exists.
