Feeding And Care Of Calves, R. R. Thalman

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

It is not infrequent that considerable difficulty is encountered in raising calves with limited amounts of milk or none at all. Requests for information on calf gruels, mixed grain feeds, and commercial supplements are frequent enough to make a short circular upon this subject seem desirable. Furthermore, as the more diversified agricultural program gets under way these requests are increasmg.

Studies On The Vitamin A Content Of Cheese, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The vitamin-A contents of twenty-two kinds of cheeses were studied by feeding these cheeses to rats whose body stores of vitamin A had been exhausted by being fed a vitamin-A-deficient diet. Twelve experiments were made in which approximately 1100 rats were used. There was considerable variation in the vitamin-A content of the samples studied. The samples of cottage, Neufchatel, and Limburger cheeses had the lowest vitamin-A potency.

The Muscles Of The Forelimb Of Canis Familiaris, Charles G. Wilber

Bachelors’ Theses

In the study of the anatomy of the vertebrates, there has been much work done and a large number of the forms have been studied with great thoroughness. Among the domesticated animals this is particularly true. The students of the veterinary sciences have given us a deep insight into the structure and function of the mammalian body. This is most certainly true in the case of the dog. The species Canis familiaris has been used for many years in the studies of physiology and surgery. However, it is also true that a plenitude of literature relative to the anatomy of …

The Lungs And Respiration In The Frog, Peter P. Strassburg

Bachelors’ Theses

In a wide sense, respiration is sometimes defined as the gaseous exchange constantly taking place between an organism and its environment. Essentially it is concerned with the intake of oxygen and the output of carbon dioxide but it also includes any other gas exchange that might occur. Small organisms take oxygen directly from the air or from the watery medium surrounding them into all parts of their structures. They also give off carbon dioxide from all their parts directly into the surrounding medium. They can do this successfully because they are small enough to have every cell in direct or …

Pancreas Of The Frog, Henry C. Boyer

Bachelors’ Theses

The pancreas has long been a subject of interest and speculation. It forms a favorable object for the study of secretory cells in general and has been used by various investigators who have studied the minute structure of the pancreas cell in relation to the secretory processes. Besides being a very active digestive gland it is the source of insulin; so that it is not surprising to find a vast amount of literature on the double function of the pancreas in general.

The Ovary Of The Frog, Wyman O. Bergner

Bachelors’ Theses

All living organisms, under proper conditions, are able to reproduce an organism of its own kind by the natural function of its reproductive system. Except in such cases where reproduction is assexual, there are always tow individuals, male and female, which produce two elements called the ovum and spermatozoa. In the vertebrate kingdom, the sperm unites with the ovum to form the new individual. This fertilized ovum is commonly referred to as the zygote, which produces the embryo from which the new individual is ultimately formed.

In this work the ovary is studied from several viewpoints: 1) anatomical; the size, …

The Accuracy Of Pressure Gauges Used On Household Steam Pressure Cookers, Arnold E. Baragar

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

In the pressure cooker, high temperature is obtained by using steam under pressure. Since the pressure gauge is used as the indicator of temperature it is essential that the gauge register the correct pressure. Hence, this paper deals mainly with a study of the accuracy of both new and old pressure gauges used on steam pressure cookers. At the same time, four other phases were investigated: (1) the proper functioning of safety valves, (2) the various methods of sealing the lid to the cooker, (3) the proper evacuation of air from the cooker, and (4) the use of a thermometer …

A Proposed Method For Classifying And Evaluating Soils On The Basis Of Productivity And Use Suitabilities, Arthur Anderson, A. P. Nelson, F. A. Hayes, I. D. Wood

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

It is the object of this paper to present a method for classifying and evaluating the soils as mapped in regular soil surveys on the basis of land types, which are here defined as areas having reasonably similar productivity and use suitabilities. The standards used to differentiate land types will vary according to the desired objectives, but any material difference in yield, or in practices necessary to maintain a desirable level of productivity will justify recognition of land types. The proposed procedure involves a more detailed study of the influence which soils, slope, erosion, and drainage have on specific crops …

Pituitary Gland Of Frog, Harold Joseph

Bachelors’ Theses

The endocrine or ductless gland system is one of the most important systems in the body of the vertebrates. The glands which comprise this system are the pancreas, which produces the insulin hormone; the thyroid, which secretes the throxin hormone; the parathyroid which produces the hormone known as the para-thormone; the adrenal glands which secretes cortin and adrenalin; the pineal gland about which very little is known; and the pituitary gland which produces many hormones, two of which, tethelin and pituitrin, are of great physiological importance. These hormones pass directly into the blood or lymph vessels and enter the circulatory …

An Application Of Feulgen's Chromatin Stain To The Chromatin Material Of Sclerospora Graminicola, Elizabeth Annette Badalik

Bachelors’ Theses

Much work has been done up to the present time on the general staining of cells, but. the workers have been greatly limited in their attempts to stain one particular portion of a cell, such as the chromatin material, without staining the remaining portion of that same cell. The ideal stain should effect only the specified portion of the cell and the remaining portion which is not to be stained should remain stainless and void of color. There. has been a lack of reliable stain for differentiating the chromatin in the cytology of lower plants and Protista.

Bulletin No. 279 - The Fruit Tree Situation In Utah, A. L. Wilson, A. L. Stark

UAES Bulletins

The fruit industry in Utah is not large when compared with the total production of the United States. The year 1935 was a favorable fruit season for Utah and yet the state produced only 0.54 percent of the United States' apple crop, 1.30 percent of the peach crop, 0.31 percent of the pears, and 3.72 percent of all cherries. Utah does, however, produce between 10 and 15 percent of all sweet cherries. Even though the Utah fruit industry represents such a small part of the national industry, a great many people of the state are dependent upon it, either wholly …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Iv. Meat Meal And Fish Meal Compared With Meat Meal, Fish Meal, And Soybean Meal As Protein Concentrates, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. Two groups of 15 newly hatched chicks were fed rations differing in the composition of the protein concentrates. One lot received ration 2MFX, in which the concentrate was a mixture of meat meal and fish meal. In ration 3MFSX one-third of the meat and fish meals was replaced by soybean meal. The protein levels of the concentrates and of the rations as fed, were identical. 2. The composition of the chicks at the end of the feeding trial was determined, and the composition of the gains calculated. 3. The gain in live weight per gram of nitrogen or dry …

The Influence Of Various Soil Factors Upon Potato Scab Caused By Actinomyces Scabies, R. W. Goss

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Scab, caused by Actinomyces scabies (Thaxt.) Giiss., is a potato disease of major importance in western Nebraska. Seed treatments are effective in controlling seed-borne scab, but it has been shown that even when healthy or treated seed potatoes are used the disease may be very severe because of infection from the soil. Crop rotation will reduce the incidence of the disease, but the fact that potato scab may cause serious loss in soils never before planted to potatoes indicates that there are numerous factors other than the time interval between potato crops which affect the occurrence of the disease. A …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. I. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Animal And Vegetable Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The effects of adding to a basal ration, protein concentrates from animal and vegetable sources were studied by means of growth and body-analysis experiments. 2. There was a small increase in the nitrogen content of the chicks fed the animal protein concentrate, but no differences appeared between lots with respect to their content of calcium and phosphorus. 3. The percentage rate of gain and the gain per gram of nitrogen fed were greater in the lot fed the animal protein concentrate. 4. The lot fed the animal protein concentrate retained more of the nitrogen fed, but less of the …

The Gross Anatomy And Histology Of The Brain Of The Frog, George Howard Klumb

Bachelors’ Theses

The histology of the frog brain has been discussed at length in many sources, thus this work will be in the nature of a review of the previous material. However, all the work will be done on the actual sections of the frog brain, and the histological discussion will be preceded by a discussion of the gross anatomy, both internal and external; and the whole will be preceded by a short historical preface.

The Effects Of X-Rays Upon The Roots Of Zea Mays, Bernard Louis Wolfe

Bachelors’ Theses

Since. the discovery of X-rays by Rontgen in 1895, the majority of published papers dealing with the influence of these rays on plant life have considered their general effects on physiological processes including rate of seed germination and growth, respiration, and movements. A large number of investigators have worked on the morphological and cytological aspects while comparatively few workers have been interested in the histological effects of the stimulated tissues. The purpose of this thesis is to show the histological, morphological, and cytological effects of X-rays upon the root tips or the Zea Mays as well as the effects these …

A Proximate Analysis Of Some Wisconsin Grown Varieties Of Soybeans, Herman Paas Jr.

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the last ten years there has been a constantly growing demand for soybeans. This demand is a result of the many new uses to which the by-products of the bean have been put. At present there are many varieties of soybeans on the market and each of these varieties have different compositions and hence have different qualities. Chemists are working on these different varieties and are trying to find the variety that is best suited for certain purposes. Wisconsin, which is primarily an agricultural state, will be among the leaders in raising the soybean. The purpose of this investigation …

Judging Quality In Dairy Products, P. A. Downs

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In the dairy industry increasing attention is being paid to the question of quality of products. The well established system of buying and selling butter and cheese on the basis of quality by score or grade is practiced in the principal markets of the world. The other dairy products, while not marketed by score, are receiving more and more attention in this respect. As more information becomes available and the judging better standardized, other dairy products will doubtless be sold by grade.
