Our Museum- An Artist's View, Nathan Mohler, Harvey Gunderson
University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information
Museums seem to be all things to all people. Some visitors come to the museum in search of information on specific questions. For others, a visit to the museum with friends is more of a social occasion which makes the acquisition of knowledge become not only a learning experience, but one of entertainment as well. For still others, the museum represents an amalgam of zoo, circus, and perhaps a bit of the carnival sideshow. Certainly the heroic proportions of the restorations of extinct animals, the somewhat macabre mummies, along with the "world's largest elephant," suggest to some the excitement and …
A Dinosaur Revival, Harvey L. Gunderson
A Dinosaur Revival, Harvey L. Gunderson
University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information
Just about everyone loves dinosaurs! Just ask any museum guard, 4th grader, or grandparent looking for souvenirs at a museum's gift shop. The only natural history exhibits that persistently challenge their popularity, in a child's mind, are the fabled mummies of ancient Egypt. Why does just the mention of the name "dinosaur" activate the imagination of most people? Naturally their size and dominating appearance are significant; however, we would hope people are also ---I intrigued by the very fact that these majestic beasts really existed at all, and for some ill-explained reason ----I seemed to disappear at the height of …

G76-279 Processing Deer, Glenn W. Froning, P. S. Gipson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
It is important to process game properly to obtain maximum flavor and storage stability.
It is a pleasure to hunt game, but perhaps an even greater satisfaction comes from eating the meat. In order to have a flavorful experience, the game animal must be handled, processed and prepared properly. If the game is improperly processed or handled, one may lose much of the desirable flavor and storage stability.

G76-294 Band Application Of Herbicides (Revised March 1986), Russell S. Moomaw, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Many row crop producers prefer to use hebicide band applications because of reduced costs. Savings can be substantial with the more expensive materials. Properly applied, band applications of herbicides can satisfactorily protect the crop from weed growth. Herbicide row banding can be done either at crop planting time or postemergence after the crop and weeds have emerged.

G76-314 Native Wood Fence Posts (Revised February 1990), Thomas L. Schmidt, Michael R. Kuhns
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This guide evaluates native Nebraska tree species for use as wooden fence posts.
Fencing is a major part of most farming and ranching operations. Fences are costly and require regular repair and maintenance. Wood fence posts cut from native Nebraska trees can be less expensive than steel posts or wood posts imported from other states. When deciding whether to use native wood fence posts, consider durability, availability and ease of handling.

G76-284 Hand Signals For Agriculture, Rollin D. Schnieder
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide contains hand signals useful for communicating around noisy equipment and from a distance.
Throughout history, man has devised methods of contacting others who were out of voice range or who could not be heard because of excess noise. The Indians were skilled at using smoke signals or by imitating some form of wildlife such as the owl or coyote.
The early explorers used other signs to guide them. The slashing of bark on trees or sticks pointed in a certain direction were keys for keeping the persons from getting lost or for others to follow.
The railroad used …

G76-308 Principles Of Beef Cattle Selection, H.A. Fitzhugh, Jr.
G76-308 Principles Of Beef Cattle Selection, H.A. Fitzhugh, Jr.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Selection of superior seedstock leads to lasting genetic improvement by increasing the frequency of "desirable" genes and decreasing frequency of "undesirable" genes. The definition of "desirable" varies. Nature favors genes which improve fitness to survive and thrive in the natural environment. Man should favor genes which improve biological and economic efficiency of beef production.
The concepts, definitions, formulas and symbols that are the tools necessary for effective selection programs are discussed in this publication.

G76-321 Use Of Energy Values In Ration Formulation, Paul Q. Guyer
G76-321 Use Of Energy Values In Ration Formulation, Paul Q. Guyer
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide contains information on the use of high energy values in ration formulation.
Ruminants digest feedstuffs primarily by fermentation in the rumen. This allows ruminant animals to use both roughages and grains as sources of carbohydrates for energy. Part of the carbohydrates pass through the rumen and are digested in the abomasum and small intestine. Most carbohydrates in feeds are converted to either acetic, propionic or butyric acid by rumen bacteria and protozoa. These short chain fatty acids are then absorbed through the rumen wall into the blood stream and eventually are used for energy in body tissue.
