"In the following pages the foods of twenty [bird] species is discussed in its relation to economic interests. The twenty species consist of 8 woodpeckers, 2 hummingbirds, 3 flycatchers, 1 horned lark, 3 sparrows, 1 butcher bird, 1 warbler, and 1 kinglet. Nearly 5,000 stomachs of these birds have been examined, and the general and most important results are embodied in these pages." -- p. 5

"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. The extensive damage done by the same animals to agricultural interests is another important reason for their destruction. The chief purpose of this publication is to point out the best methods of destroying these native animals." -- p. 6. Among the rodents discussed in the bulletin are squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks, mice, rats, gophers, rabbits, badgers, and weasels.

"The English sparrow has many objectionable habits and few redeeming qualities and, as its general extermination is out of the question because of the necessary expense, its numbers should be reduced so far as possible. The chief aim of this bulletin is to describe the best methods of effecting this reduction of numbers. Trapping, wherever practicable, is recommended above all other methods, more particularly as English sparrows form an excellent and nutritious article of diet." -- p. 2

"Owing to the many uses to which winter barley is adapted, the crop is rapidly coming into favor in many localities south of the Ohio and Platte Rivers and also in the States west of the Rocky Mountains. It is unquestionably the best nurse crop for grasses and clover, makes excellent hay, and is a splendid pasture and cover crop. In this bulletin the most suitable soils and their preparation, selecting and sowing the seed, and the care of the crop are described. It is believed this information will aid in making the growing of winter barley more certain and profitable." -- p. 2

"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 the most important timothy-producing centers, though it is well adapted to conditions on most of the irrigated land where timothy is produced. In view of these facts it is desirable to disseminate this information among the timothy growers of the Northwest." -- p. 3

"For many years these ticks, which transmit the disease of cattle known as Texas or tick fever, have been a cause of heavy loss and a great handicap to live-stock raising in the southern part of the United States. The progress so far made, however, in the cooperative campaign by this department and State authorities with the object of completely eradicating this pest from the country demonstrates that it is entirely possible to accomplish that result, although a number of years of hard work will be required. It is of great importance for the success of this undertaking that the efforts of the officials should be supplemented by individual work by the farmers. This paper gives simple and practical directions for exterminating the ticks." -- p. 2

Report discussing the potential of the spineless -- or thornless -- prickly pear for cultivation and use as feed by livestock.

Report detailing the various diseases which affect cabbage. Topic discussed include dissemination of disease, farm practices which can help control disease, and diseases particular to specific varieties of cabbage.

"Cheese is one of the important agricultural products of the United States and a f foodstuff used in a larger or smaller quantity in nearly every American home. It seemed desirable to study its relative nutritive value and the ways in which it may be prepared for the table." -- p. 2. Includes many recipes that use cheese as an essential ingredient.

"The chief purpose of this bulletin is to present information in regard to the breeding and care of rabbits, which are highly esteemed for food. In it are given brief, practical directions which it is believed will suffice both for those who wish to raise the animals chiefly for home consumption and for others who desire to conduct the business on a larger scale and to raise them for market." -- p. 2

"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. It is pointed out in this bulletin that many birds of prey are exceedingly valuable to the farmer, but the opposite is true of the Cooper's hawk, the sharp-shinned hawk, and the goshawk, which should be destroyed as the determined foes of poultry, game birds, and most of the smaller insectivorous species." -- p. 2

"The purpose of this bulletin is to supply information to hay producers concerning the conditions existing in the various hay markets of the country. The here given are applicable to all hay-growing sections of the United States." -- p. 2. Topics discussed include hay baling, hay presses, and shipping.
