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
Valuable breeding animals discovered to be tuberculous need not be sacrificed if they and their calves be handled according to the Bang method, or a modification of that method, of controlling tuberculosis and eradicating it from a herd. Of 23 calves born to the tuberculous cows of a quarantine herd on the Iowa State College farm, in the period from 1907 to 1915, inclusive, 18 passed the tuberculin test and proved to be free from tuberculosis; only 3 reacted to the test; 2 others were twins and were sold as veal at a few months of age. Among the 21 animals to be considered, the loss was 14.3 per cent.
