Dendrouterina Botauri N. Sp., A Cestode Parasitic In Bitterns, With Remarks On Other Members Of The Genus, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A single cestode belonging to the genus Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912, was taken from the small intestine of a least bittern, Ixobrychus e. exilis (Gmelin), collected by the writer on May 31, 1945, at Buckeye Lake, Ohio. Considerable difficulty was experienced in obtaining adequate material of this cestocde, although bitterns were collected in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Manitoba. A second infected bird, an American bittern, Botaurus l. lentiginosus (Monatgu), was collected on April 24, 1947, at Horicon Marsh, Wisconsin. Three specimens of Dendrouterina were obtained from this bird.
Unfortunately, since refrigeration was not available in the field, the scolices of all …

Canning Meats, Relishes, Fruit Spreads : Extension Circular 9-41-2, Jessie Greene

Nebraska 4-H Clubs: Historical Materials and Publications

The first year of the 4-H food preservation project teaches approved methods of canning fruits and vegetables and stresses the foods needed for good health. The second year aims to continue this study of nutrition and takes up the canning of meats, relishes and fruit spreads. Some canning is also included in the cooking club projects. It may be practical to dry, brine, freeze or store some foods, and club members may substitute up to one-half of the canning requirement with dried, brined, frozen or stored foods.

Breeding Efficiency In Dairy Cattle From Artificial Insemination At Various Intervals Before And After Ovulation, George W. Trimberger

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The length of estrus and the time of ovulation were determined for 46 heifers and 86 cows of the Ayrshire, Guernsey, Jersey, and Holstein breeds by testing for end of estrus and ovulation at 2-hour intervals. Services were given by artificial insemination at various intervals before and after ovulation to determine the influence of this factor on the rate of conception. No significant breed or seasonal differences were found for length of estrus and ovulation time after end of estrus among the four dairy breeds represented in the experiment.

This was very much appreciated, as it will allow a more complete extension service program. This is $25.00 under the $3500 calling allowed by the new bill L. B. 405

The annual meeting was attended by 164 people. The program which was held in the new 4-H building and at the experimental Station, consisted of a business session, four talks on current livestock problems, and a morning and afternoon session of witnessing …

Mule Deer Record For Minnesota, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

During the hunting season of 1947, Leonard Nygren shot a deer near Pillager, Cass County, Minnesota. The deer, which weighed 153 pounds dressed, was disqualified in a sportsman's contest because it was not considered a white-tailed deer, according to a newspaper report. The report was investigated and the animal in question was identified as a mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus. This extends the known range of this deer in Minnesota nearly 100 miles to the east. John Jarosz, Museum Preparator, and the writer went to Nygren's place nine miles north of Pillager and measured and skinned the animal which is …

Mima Mounds: A Reply, Victor B. Scheffer

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Major Grant believes that gophers behave in one way, and we believe that they behave in another-or we admit that we do not know exactly how they behave. I have plainly stated (1947, PP. 293, 294) that our evidence is indirect; that we have not seen gophers building a giant mound; that we do not know whether mound building is a contemporary or a historic process; and that we do not know whether the stimulus for mound building is a hardpan or a high water table or both.

Our main contentions are that mounds of the Mima type occur only …

Changes In Vegetation And Production Of Forage Resulting From Grazing Lowland Prairie, J. E. Weaver, R. W. Darland

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

When the early settlers came to Iowa, Nebraska, and adjacent territory they entered an almost boundless sea of grass. Throughout the years the prairie has been largely broken for crop production, but even today there still remain considerable tracts of native grassland annually mowed for hay and far greater ones of native pasture (Weaver and Fitzpatrick, '34). Climax grassland when grazed lightly or moderately may retain essentially its natural composition over extremely long periods. It is only when grazing animals are circumscribed in their range by fences and when too large a population is thus confined for too long a …

Life Histories Of North American Nuthatches, Wrens, Thrashers And Their Allies: Order Passeriformes, Arthur Cleveland Bent

Papers in Ornithology

An attempt has been made to give as full a life history as possible of the best-known subspecies of each species and to avoid duplication by writing briefly of the others and giving only the characters of the subspecies, its range, and any -habits peculiar to it. In many cases certain habits, probably common to the species as a whole, have been recorded for only one subspecies. Such habits are mentioned under the subspecies on which the observations were made. The distribution gives the range of the species as a whole, with only rough outlines of the ranges of the …

Microbiology Of Soil, Nathan Wakefield

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The discovery that certain microorganisms isolated from soil could produce antibiotics when grown in pure cultures in the lab­ oratory has served to focus attention as never before on the sub­ject of soil microbiology. The main emphasis, however, is on prob­lems entirely unrelated to the processes which go on in the soil. The fact that an organism was isolated from soil and then used in medicine, fermentations, or some such way, does not bring such work in the actual field of soil microbiology. Practically all except the more fastidious animal and plant pathogens can be found in the soil at …

Trypsin Inhibitor. V. Nutritive Value Of Treated Soybean Oil Meal And Some Characteristics Of The Trypsin Inhibitor In Soybeans, Raymond Borchers, W. E. Ham, R. M. Sandstedt, C. W. Ackerson, R. H. Thayer, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The marked improvement in the apparent nutritive value of soybean protein after heating has long been recognized. The fundamental cause of this improvement has never been fully understood. Furthermore, commercial soybean oil meal varies considerably in nutritive value although heat treatment is common in most processing plants. Since heating is generally regarded as deleterious to the nutritive quality of protein, the following investigations of various treatments of soybean oil meal are of particular importance in developing a soybean or soybean oil meal of maximum and uniform nutritive value.

A Preliminary Study Of A Physical Basis Of Bird Navigation, Henry L. Yeagley

Papers in Ornithology

The bird navigation theory as presented implies an organ or organs in the bird's physiology which are sensitive to the effect of its motion through the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field and to the effort exerted to overcome the coriolis force, due to the earth's rotation. Both these influences involve a set of lines which together form a navigational gridwork. By correlating its instantaneous land speed with the two above effects, a bird can fly to its home which is a unique point in this gridwork, or to related companion points existing in the gridwork at positions other …

Bakererpes Fragilis N. G., N. Sp., A Cestode From The Nighthawk (Cestoda: Dilepididae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The examination of an Eastern Nighthawk (Chordeiles m. minor (Forster)), collected September 25, 1945, at Marion, Ohio, revealed numerous, very small cestodes free in the lumen of the small intestine. About fifty specimens were found, but, because of the delicate strobila of this species, few were entire.
Although these cestodes were very thin and translucent, the preparation of well-stained whole mounts presented unusual difficulty. Best results were obtained with a mixture of Ehrlich's and Delafield's haematoxylin stains. Frontal and transverse serial sections, cut at 10 and 15 μm, were made.
This cestode clearly belongs in the sub-family Dilepidinae, but, …

The Digenetic Trematodes Of Marine Fishes Of Tortugas, Florida, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

189 species of digenetic trematodes are reported from teleost fishes of the region of Tortugas, Florida. Among these are recognized: 44 new species, 9 new genera, 44 new combinations, 14 new synonyms, and 51 new host records. Several genera and species are considered synonyms of those previously named.

Of 237 species (approximately 2,039 specimens) of teleost fishes examined, 182 species or 76.8% were parasitized by adult, digenetic trematodes. Most of the host species harbored from one to three species of trematodes; 79 (or 43.4% of the 182) had a single species of trematode. Two fishes, however, were each susceptible to …
