Elaine Goodale Eastman And The Failure Of The Feminist Protestant Ethic, Ruth Ann Alexander

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Elaine Goodale Eastman's childhood dreams of becoming a writer were not to be fulfilled as she imagined them. Her literary talent was subverted by conflicting forces in her life to which she also subscribed but that thwarted the artistic development of that talent. Although she wrote throughout her ninety years and couldn't remember a time that she wouldn't rather write than eat, she never satisfied "the notion ... unreasonably in the back of my head that someday I might write a book that would live."! If she is remembered at all it is as the wife of the Sioux physician …

Review Of The Dakota Or Sioux In Minnesota As They Were In 1854, Herbert T. Hoover

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Gary Anderson introduces the reminiscence of a nineteenth-century missionary as a source "unrivaled today for its comprehensive discussion of Dakota material culture and social, political, religious, and economic institutions." With the term "unrivaled," evidently Professor Anderson assigns credence to the work of Pond, for he goes on to say that the missionary attempted "an objective assessment of the Dakota before their intercourse with whites· dramatically changed their society." Thus a prospective reader is likely to gain the impression that The Dakota or Sioux in Minnesota is wholly reliable. A professional historian who has written two volumes on the history of …

Plains Song: Wright Morris's New Melody For Audacious Female Voices, Linda M. Lewis

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

"Man's culture was a hoax. Was there a woman who didn't feel it? Perhaps a decade, no more, was available to women to save themselves, as well as the planet. Women's previous triumphs had been by default. Men had simply walked away from the scene of the struggle, leaving them with the children, the chores, the culture, and a high incidence of madness." The lines are from Wright Morris's Plains Song: for Female Voices; they represent a "brief resume" of the "forthcoming lecture" by Alexandra Selkirk, a feminist who has just arrived in Grand Island, Nebraska, to rally the …

On The Status Of Robbing Peter To Pay Paul: The 1987 Takings Cases In The Supreme Court, Richard F. Duncan

Nebraska Law Review

Someone once observed that when you rob Peter to pay Paul, you always can count on the support of Paul. That is what the takings clause of the United States Constitution is all about—it is designed to prevent the many Pauls of the world from using their political power to take property from the Peters of the world. In fact, it is something of a misnomer to refer to the clause as the "takings" clause of the fifth amendment. We would be far more correct if we called it the "anti-takings" clause. The first purpose of this commentary is to …

Animal Model Evaluation Of Ayrshire Milk Yield With All Lactations, Herd-Sire Interaction, And Groups Based On Unknown Parents, G. R. Wiggans, I. Misztal, L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

An animal model was applied to predict genetic merit for Ayrshire milk yield. The model included fixed herdyear- season (32,287) and random herdsire interaction (32,159), permanent environment, animal, and residual effects. Animals evaluated included 119,541 cows with 301,799 records, 5762 sires, and 11,893 dams without records. Genetic groups (36) were defined for unknown parents and parents not contributing ties or records. Groups were defined by sex of parent and by birth year and sex of animal with unknown parent. Evaluations included combinations of these group effects derived from tracing each path in pedigree back to an unknown parent group. Iteration …

The Allocation Of Parental Care Among The Ye'kwana, Raymond B. Hames

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

It is well known that human children require more care or parental investment than any other primate species (Lancaster and Lancaster 1983). While this dimension of human behavior is well documented in the psychological literature for Euroamerican populations (Babchuck et al. 1985), it has received scant, quantitative attention by anthropologists working among tribal populations (for exceptions see Whiting and Whiting 1975, Katz and Konner 1981, Hurtado et al. 1985, Hewlett, this volume (Chapter 16), Turke, this volume (Chapter 10)). The role of alloparental care (care of non-offspring children) has received even less quantitative attention by social scientists (for a review …

G88-873 Growing Shrubs From Seed, Richard J. Lodes, Mike Kuhns

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide is about gathering and growing seeds for shrubs.

Growing shrubs from seed is educational and fun. Many shrub species are not available commercially, so gathering seed and growing your own plants may be the only way to get them. Interesting or unusual shrubs from a neighbor's yard or from the wild can be propagated from seed. Shrubs started from seed also may be less expensive than commercially produced seedlings.

G88-879 Peafowl, Earl W. Gleaves

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses the care and feeding of the colorful and ornamental peafowl.

The peafowl is an ornamental bird which is often grown to adorn farmsteads, private estates or public parks and zoological gardens. They enjoy living in the open and prefer to roost in trees. The roosting place should be arranged some distance from dwellings because peafowl are inclined to be noisy, especially at night.

13.2.1. Waterfowl Use Of Wetland Complexes, Leigh H. Fredrickson, Frederic A. Reid

Waterfowl Management Handbook

Waterfowl are a diverse group of birds that have widely divergent requirements for survival and recruitment. Whistling-ducks, geese, and swans (Anserinae) and ducks (Anatinae) have contrasting life history requirements.

Several goose populations have expanded greatly despite extensive continental wetland losses and degradation. Most expanding populations nest in arctic areas where modifications or disturbance of nesting habitats have been minimal. These grazers often find suitable migratory and wintering habitats in terrestrial or agricultural environments. In contrast, ducks are less terrestrial and populations are influenced more by wetland characteristics, such as quality, total area of wetland basins, and size and configuration of …

13.3.1. Invertebrate Response To Wetland Management, Leigh H. Fredrickson

Waterfowl Management Handbook

By gaining greater understanding and appreciation of wetland environments, managers have developed creative insights for waterfowl conservation. Among the most exciting new developments in the understanding of functional wetlands has been the recognition of the important roles of invertebrates in aquatic ecosystems. These roles include trophic linkage from primary production to secondary consumers such as waterfowl, packaging of specific nutritional components such as amino acids and micronutrients for vertebrate predators, and detrital processing of wetland organic material. Although specific invertebrate responses to various management techniques are not always predictable and may differ among invertebrate species, patterns related to water regimes, …

13.4.9. Preliminary Considerations For Manipulating Vegetation, Leigh H. Fredrickson, Frederic A. Reid

Waterfowl Management Handbook

A wide diversity of plants has adapted to the dynamic nature of wetlands. The continually changing floral landscape is shaped by physical or abiotic components that include climate, fire, soil, and water. Water quantity, quality, and chemistry have a dominating influence on wetlands as do factors such as hydroperiod (period when soils are saturated) and hydrological regime. Other factors that may affect the abundance, structure, and species composition of macrophytes or robust emergents are natural grazing, disease, and interspecific plant competition.

Vegetation is important to waterfowl for producing seeds, tubers, and browse; providing nest sites; and serving as substrates for …

13.1.1. Nutritional Values Of Waterfowl Foods, Leigh H. Fredrickson, Frederic A. Reid

Waterfowl Management Handbook

Over 40 species of North American waterfowl use wetland habitats throughout their annual cycles. Survival, reproduction, and growth are dependent on the availability of foods that meet nutritional requirements for recurring biological events. These requirements occur among a wide variety of environmental conditions that also influence nutritional demands. Recent work on nesting waterfowl has identified the female’s general nutrient needs for egg laying and incubation. Far less is known about nutritional requirements for molt and other portions of the life cycle, particularly those during the non-breeding season. Although information on specific requirements for amino acids and micronutrients of wild birds …

Complete Waterfowl Management Handbook

Waterfowl Management Handbook

The North American Waterfowl Management Plan, the Service's most recent mandate for management of migratory waterfowl, and recent legislation such as the Farm Bill all underscore the need for a single source of information about the management of waterfowl and their habitat. Much of this information exists in scientific papers, unpublished reports, or has never been recorded, and thus is not readily accessible by waterfowl managers. The need for a waterfowl management handbook was originally suggested to the Office of Information Transfer by personnel in the Service's north-central region. A prototype handbook was developed in 1987 and critiqued by 38 …

G88-864 Handling Internal Worm Parasitism In Sheep, Dale M. Grotelueschen, Don Ferguson, Ted Doane

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication acquaints the reader with methods of preventing, controlling, and treating parasitism in sheep.

Introduction

Parasites or worms affecting the digestive system are a severe health problem in sheep production. The economic losses from parasitism can be extensive, ranging from mortality or death loss to weight loss, reduced weight gain, reduced wool production, decreased milk yield resulting in lower lamb weights, poor reproductive performance, and the cost of medications and handling.

Coccidiosis, another costly intestinal parasite, but not caused by worm infestation, will be discussed briefly.

G88-883 Managing Of Disease To Produce Antibiotic/Residue Free Animal Food Products, Duane Rice, R. Gene White

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses the use of antibiotics in animals, approved drugs and extra-label drugs, and ways to test for drug residue. Infectious diseases in livestock are costly, and prevention is the best approach to minimize such losses. Yet despite good management practices and extensive preventive measures, disease outbreaks do occur, and treatments become necessary. To obtain antibiotic residue-free products from food animals, knowledgeable decisions regarding the use of medications are necessary. It is important to realize that antibiotic treatments are used only to eliminate or shorten the duration of existing infections, or to prevent secondary bacterial infections. These infections may …

G88-878 Management For Disease Prevention In Feedlots, Gene White, Duane Rice, Don Hudson, Dale Grotelueschen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

When cattle are put in feedlots, they change diets and environments. This NebGuide discusses ways to minimize possible losses caused by those changes. Cattle are a vital link in the human food chain in the United States. The utilized agricultural area in this country is about 1.06 million acres, of which 64 percent is range (government and private). Grazing is the only practical method of harvesting these valuable resources. Ruminants convert forage produced by the soil nutrients, water and solar energy to a high quality protein source for humans. The feedlot phase of cattle feeding follows the utilization of roughages …
