100 Worth While Accomplishments Of The College Of Agriculture The Past Two Years, Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The College of Agriculture of the University of Nebraska exists for the purpose of education, experimentation, and dissemination of agricultural information throughout the State. It aims to give a maximum of assistance in the solution of practical farming problems to everyone who asks for it. If, after looking over this circular, you are interested in some special feature, and would like to know how you can apply it to your own farm or your own problem, write to the college.


Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk Dec 1922

Insect Pests Of Stored Grains And Their Control, M. H. Swenk

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In Nebraska there are about 20 species of insects that injure stored grain more or less. Some are beetles and their larvae, others are the caterpillars of small moths. To the farmer all are "weevil," although that name is really properly applied only to two beetle species-the granary weevil and the rice weevil. The following paragraphs and illustrations will describe the several more important stored grain pests to be found in this State, so that the farmer may recognize the particular pest or pests that are doing the injury to his grain, and may then apply the proper remedy.


The Preparation Of Laboratory Specimens As An Aid To The Diagnosis Of Animal Diseases, L. Van Es, L. V. Skidmore Jun 1922

The Preparation Of Laboratory Specimens As An Aid To The Diagnosis Of Animal Diseases, L. Van Es, L. V. Skidmore

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Many problems in connection with animal diseases require for their solution the application of methods which can only be undertaken at properly equipped laboratories. This ordinarily involves the collection, packing, and shipping of samples of specimens. The manner in which this is done is a most important factor and to a very large extent is responsible either for the success or for the failure of the undertaking. The discussion of the subject to which the following pages are devoted is taken in hand in the hope that it may provide guidance to the veterinarians and others who may have occasion …


The Common Intestinal Roundworm Of Swine (Ascaris Lumbricoides), H. M. Martin Jun 1922

The Common Intestinal Roundworm Of Swine (Ascaris Lumbricoides), H. M. Martin

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The large intestinal roundworm of pigs is a very common parasite and is probably present in every hog raising district of Nebraska. Up until the last few years the true nature of this parasite was unknown. Little did we realize the actual harm done by this worm; but through the scientific investigations of Stewart, Ransom, and others we now know that this parasite causes heavier losses to the breeder and feeder of swine than any other now common in Nebraska.


Hog Houses For Nebraska, O. W. Sjogren, I. D. Wood Mar 1922

Hog Houses For Nebraska, O. W. Sjogren, I. D. Wood

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The material contained in this bulletin is a culmination of several years' study and investigation of the different types of hog houses used in Nebraska. It is realized that the plans given will not suit all conditions that may arise, but an effort has been made to bring out the essential factors so that the plans may serve as a guide in planning a house suited to particular conditions.
