The Common Intestinal Roundworm Of Swine, H. M. Martin Jul 1931

The Common Intestinal Roundworm Of Swine, 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. 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.

Chapter VI. Historical Significance of the Nebraska City-Fort Kearny Trail

The most outstanding contributions of the Nebraska City-Fort Kearny cut-off to the development of Nebraska would seem to lie in the fact that it penetrated into the very heart of the rich South Platte prairies and opened them up to settlement at a much earlier …


Utilization Of Proteins By The Growing Chick, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson May 1931

Utilization Of Proteins By The Growing Chick, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. There is a marked difference in the nutritive value of the various protein-contributing concentrates when used to supplement a corn-wheat basal ration which has been made complete for known vitamin and mineral essentials. 2. There is a great difference in the biological value even of animal protein concentrates. 3. Soybean meal produced a better growth rate than any of the other plant concentrates used. Cottonseed meal proved to have a greater growth-promoting value than did linseed oil meal. 4. The supplementing values of protein concentrates, one to another, is not quite as evident as one would expect if the …

The Vitamin A Content Of The Milk Of Holstein, Ayrshire, Jersey, And Guernsey Cows, H. P. Davis, I. L. Hathaway Feb 1931

The Vitamin A Content Of The Milk Of Holstein, Ayrshire, Jersey, And Guernsey Cows, H. P. Davis, I. L. Hathaway

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A comparative study of the vitamin A content of milk produced by Holstein, Ayrshire, Jersey, and Guernsey cows was made by comparing the growth produced by 560 rats receiving milk from these breeds as their only source of vitamin A. The results showed some slight irregular differences in the gains produced by the milk from the different breeds. When these differences were considered in view of the individual variation of the experimental animals, they appeared negligible. This conclusion was substantiated by a statistical examination of the data. From the results of this study in which the experiments were duplicated, it …

The Musk-Oxen Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1931

The Musk-Oxen Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The remains of no less than eight fossil musk-oxen are already known in Nebraska, of which one is preserved in the Museum at Hastings, Nebraska, and seven in the State Museum at Lincoln. This is a large number to be recorded in anyone state. As late as 1891 authors wrote that but two examples of musk-oxen were known in the United States, one from Kentucky, and one from Arkansas, if, indeed, they be valid species. Now that pioneer days are well behind this commonwealth, and that there is a growing sentiment for exploration and proper display of the State's resources, …


A New Crinoid Slab, A Bit Of Mississipian Sea Bottom, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1931

A New Crinoid Slab, A Bit Of Mississipian Sea Bottom, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Crinoids are popularly known as stone-lilies, featherstars, and sea-lilies. The word lily is a misnomer, and many, misled by the name and by the lily-like form, associate crinoids with the plant kingdom. The name, feather-star, seems explicit for it refers to the feathery arms surrounding the cup or calyx, and expresses relationship to the starfishes and their kind. The cup is attached to a stem, and the stem is anchored to the ocean floor by so-called roots, which are really hold-fasts, or anchors. These features may be seen in the diagram at the end.


A New Amebelodont, Torynobelodon Barnumbrowni, Sp. Nov. A Preliminary Report, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1931

A New Amebelodont, Torynobelodon Barnumbrowni, Sp. Nov. A Preliminary Report, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The subfamily of longirostrine mastodonts known as the Amebelodontinae have been so recently discovered and described that as yet they; are little known by the citizens of this state. They are most briefly and directly described as shovel-tusked mastodons. The first one found, namely Amebelodon fricki, was secured in April 1927, and was published June 1927. In the meantime, many other examples of Amebelodonts have been added to the Morrill Palaeontological Collections of the Nebraska State Museum. The exact number cannot be stated until the material shipped in from the field during the current season is unpacked, cleaned, and identified. …


Evidence Of Dinosaurs In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1931

Evidence Of Dinosaurs In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Nebraska has long been a collecting ground famous for its fossil mammals, but as yet no dinosaurian bones have been reported, nor have they been expected. The distal end of a finely preserved femur, however, has recently been brought to light, supposedly occurring in position in the Dakota formation of eastern Nebraska. It was discovered, collected, and donated by Mr. J. B. White, (University of Nebraska, Law, class of 1899) on his farm two miles south of Decatur, in northeastern Burt County, near the Missouri River. It was found in undoubted Dakota sand associated with many leaf impressions. This is …


The Giant Beaver, Castoroides, And The Common Beaver, Castor, In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1931

The Giant Beaver, Castoroides, And The Common Beaver, Castor, In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Respecting the giant beaver, Castoroides, in Nebraska, four occurrences can be reported. Of rodents in general the dawn. was in the early Eocene, at which time there were in existence certain squirrel-like members of the order. Rodents are a persistent group, and are among the smallest, most distinctive, most numerous and widely distributed orders of terrestrial mammals. No other order boasts of so many species, the number being between nine hundred and one thousand. In spite of wide divergencies and modifications adapting them to various modes of life, such as climbing, burrowing, swimming, flying, leaping, and running, there is remarkable …

The Food Habits Of The Ring-Necked Pheasant In Central Nebraska, M. H. Swenk Nov 1930

The Food Habits Of The Ring-Necked Pheasant In Central Nebraska, M. H. Swenk

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Pheasants, including the Chinese and the so-called English pheasants, with their hybrid the ring-necked pheasant, have been introduced and established in a large area in the northern United States during the past 50 years. During the past 15 years continued importations of these birds into Nebraska, together with the rapid increase of those already established, have built up a large pheasant population in the state, estimated at more than a million birds. They have especially thrived in a block of 16 counties in east-central Nebraska. Protection was afforded them until 1927, when short open seasons were permitted in the fall …
