Ec63-524 Favorite Holiday Foods
Ec63-524 Favorite Holiday Foods
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The Christmas season is the time when the creative homemaker turns magician and hypnotizes her family by whisking from her oven all kinds of foods with holiday glamour. When the family says, "It smells like Christmas," mother has caught the Holiday spirit in the most womanly custom of all, cooking.
Because of our varied ancestry, many foods of many lands have become traditionally American. Sharing of recipes is akin to sharing of Holiday goodies, so a few homemakers have shared some of their old country cooking customs with us.

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications
The cercaria of N. kentuckiensis was found in Anaplocamus dilatatus (Nitrocris d.) and Mudalia carinata. The metacercaria was found in all fishes examined from Opequon River, West Virginia, except Cottus bairdi which was also refractory to experimental infection. Two species of Centrarchidae, four of Cyprinidae, three of Salmonidae, Etheostoma flabellare, Platypoecilus maculatus, and Trichogaster trichopterus were experimentally infected. The development of the metacercari and cyst and effect on the fish are described. The histopathology initially consists of hemorrhage and muscle necrosis about the metacercaria, followed by reorganization and formation of a loose connective tissue cyst. The controversial adult names …

Development Of Systemic Insecticides For Pests Of Animals In The United States1, R.C. Bushland, R.D. Radeleff, R.O. Drummond
Development Of Systemic Insecticides For Pests Of Animals In The United States1, R.C. Bushland, R.D. Radeleff, R.O. Drummond
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
The first encouraging results in the search for systemic insecticides were obtained in 1944 by Lindquist and his co-workers (53), who found that bed bugs, Cimex lectularius Linnaeus and C. hemipterus (Fabricius), died after feeding on rabbits treated orally with DDT or pyrethrins. In 1946, Knipling and associates (48) treated rabbits with oral and intravenous dosages of insecticides,and reported that rabbits tolerated treatments of lindane and 2 -pivalyl-I,3-indandione at rates that were lethal to mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus), and human body lice, Pediculus humanus humanus Linnaeus when feeding on the rabbits. These findings, made at the Orlando, Florida, laboratory of …
Using A Density Gradient Column To Determine Wheat Density, Wendell R. Peters, Robert Katz
Using A Density Gradient Column To Determine Wheat Density, Wendell R. Peters, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
A wheat kernel placed in a density gradient column will sink until it reaches the level where its average density is equal to that of the liquid at that level. Knowing the density of the liquid as a function of height, one can measure accurately the density of the kernel to three decimal places in about 1 to 2 minutes per kernel. Kernel density ranged from a maximum of 1.416 at 7.5% moisture to a minimum of 1.255 g./cm.3 at 18.5% moisture, for the samples tested. Kernels of a homogeneously selected sample of hard spring wheat (Lee) varied in …
Pigeons, Starlings And English Sparrows, G. L. Hockenyos
Pigeons, Starlings And English Sparrows, G. L. Hockenyos
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 1st (1962)
This paper deals with the control of excessive numbers of pigeons, starlings and English sparrows in urban situations in the Midwestern region of the United States. Control procedures should always be based on a survey of the factors involved in the problem so that the most feasible methods can be determined. There is no one tool of bird control that fits all situations, and in most cases more than one tool is indicated. Since the feral pigeon is the most common pest species, emphasis will be placed on pigeon control methods. Urban bird control, like urban rat control, may involve …
Federal Law And Vertebrate Pest Control, Justus C. Ward
Federal Law And Vertebrate Pest Control, Justus C. Ward
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 1st (1962)
Shortly after the passage of the Federal Insecticide Act of 1910, mammal control specialists in the Bureau of Biological Survey began to consider a similar law to cover the chemicals with which they were concerned. Work on the project went slowly and spasmodically, but reached the point of having a Federal Rodenticide Act available for study and possible revision in 1928. At this time, the mammal control chemicals in use were limited to strychnine--alkaloid and sulphate-arsenic, barium carbonate, thallium sulphate, phosphorus, sodium and calcium cyanide, carbon disulphide, and red squill. Strychnine alkaloid was about the only predatory animal control agent, …
Ground Squirrel Control In California, Richard H. Dana
Ground Squirrel Control In California, Richard H. Dana
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 1st (1962)
The control of ground squirrels in California is important in two ways. First, it is necessary to prevent destruction of agricultural crops. Second, it is important from a health standpoint where rodent-borne diseases have been demonstrated to be present. Ground squirrel control in this State is the responsibility of the county agricultural commissioners, the State Department of Agriculture and on Federal lands the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Most control measures are concerned with but two of the nine species of ground squirrels found in California. These include four subspecies: Beechey ground squirrel (Citellus beecheyi beecheyi), Douglas ground squirrel …
Methods Of Controlling Starlings And Blackbirds, Adolph Zajanc
Methods Of Controlling Starlings And Blackbirds, Adolph Zajanc
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 1st (1962)
Most people have accepted the fact that all living things can be beneficial to mankind in some way or other. This is especially true of our wild birds, since they provide enjoyment and wholesome recreation for most of us, regardless of whether we live on farms or in the city. But despite the fact that wild birds are for the most part beneficial, at times individuals or populations of certain species can seriously affect man's interests. When such situations occur, some measures of relief are desirable and usually eagerly sought. This report is not intended to answer all the questions …

The Reeve's Tale: Chaucer's Measure For Measure, Paul A. Olson
The Reeve's Tale: Chaucer's Measure For Measure, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
That Oswald tells the Reeve's Tale to avenge himself on Robin is evident. However, the method by which he does so is not so evident. His technique is to disguise revenge as justice: by cloaking personal retribution in the garment of objective moral comment, he is able to pretend that he is concerned not so much with retaliation as with evil itself. In doing this, he makes a mistake. The morality which he announces is more applicable to him than to his victim, and the opposition between what he says and what Chaucer says through him constitutes the real comic …
The Rule Against Perpetuities As It Relates To Powers Of Appointment, Lawrence Berger
The Rule Against Perpetuities As It Relates To Powers Of Appointment, Lawrence Berger
Nebraska Law Review
Over the past twenty-five years, much has been written about the raison d'etre of the Rule Against Perpetuities. During this period, the theories underlying and the justifications posited for the Rule have changed considerably, while some of the older notions concerning it have been partially discredited. The purpose of this article is to utilize some of these newly arrived at basics and apply them specifically to the problem of the Rule as it relates to powers of appointment. In the course of the discussion, a cursory review of the history of the Rule and its policy progenitors is undertaken for …

Administrative Law Reform: Proposals And Prospects, Peter Woll
Nebraska Law Review
The purpose of this article is to analyze current administrative practice in the adjudicative area in relation to various proposals that have been made for procedural reform. It is necessary, first, to review briefly the nature of administrative law. Second, early attempts made both by the American Bar Association and the judiciary to control administrative procedure are noted. Third, present proposals for reform, which come from a variety of sources, are analyzed. Finally, some assessment of the requirements of administrative adjudication from the standpoint of effective and fair government regulation is necessary to indicate possible directions in which the legal …

Conclusions
Sarcocystis tenellainfects sheep in southeast Kazakhstan starting in their second month of life. As the sheep age the extent and intensity of infection grows, by the tenth or eleventh month, 100% of the sheep are infected. Adult sheep more than 5 years old are all infected with sarcosporidia.
As the level of fatness decreases the extent and severity of sarcosporidial infection rises.
Females become infected oftener and more heavily than males.
Infection of sheep by sarcosporidia occurs throughout the year in southeast Kazakhstan, with a rise in the spring-summer and early autumn periods; its prevalence is somewhat less …

Chaucer's Merchant And January's "Hevene In Erthe Heere", Paul A. Olson
Chaucer's Merchant And January's "Hevene In Erthe Heere", Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
The Merchant in the Canterbury Tales tells the tale of a husband whose misfortunes bear an obvious relation to his own marital pain. He has this advantage over his character: that he is perfectly clear-eyed about the miseries of his marriage. One cannot say so much for January. Though the knowledge that one is not " in the perpetual possession of self-deception " may form small consolation if one is a husband in the Merchant's situation, it does seem to dull his affliction somewhat to imagine a character who endures his own extremities but endures with the torpor and innocence …
The Merchant's Lombard Knight, Paul A. Olson
The Merchant's Lombard Knight, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
The problem of Chaucer's reason for having his Merchant tell a tale about an Italian from Pavia is little closer to solution now than it was when Skeat expressed bafflement before it. The Merchant seems to bear a positive hatred for his character; he projects all the marital evils which he knows on him and makes him suffer stupidly and innocently. A proper explanation of the Merchant's motives must not only account for his interest in Italy but for his animus toward Italians or, at least, toward Lombards from Pavia. When the Merchant begins his prologue, the Clerk has just …
"Chronometricals And Horologicals”: The Key To A Basic Theme In The Fiction Of Herman Melville, James Llewellyn Thorson
"Chronometricals And Horologicals”: The Key To A Basic Theme In The Fiction Of Herman Melville, James Llewellyn Thorson
Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)
My aim is to study several of Melville’s major works of fiction in the light a pamphlet called “Chronometricals and Horologicals”, which purports to be by one Plotinus Plinlimmon in Melville’s novel Pierre: or The Ambiguities. In my view of Melville’s works, this pamphlet is as near a statement of the author’s philosophy (as dramatized in his works) as can be formulated. I do not maintain that a study of the relationship of the pamphlet to the works will reveal the whole “truth” about the “meaning” of Melville’s fiction, but I do think that it will show a significant …
John Steinbeck’S East Of Eden: A Story Of Man, Ned S. Hedges
John Steinbeck’S East Of Eden: A Story Of Man, Ned S. Hedges
Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)
This thesis is a critical comment centered on John Steinbeck’s East of Eden.This particular work by Steinbeck has been thoroughly neglected, and therefore must be discussed.It is also of his earlier works, one which shows the new and positive direction of his writing.The aim is to analyze the book closely in an attempt to ascertain the intention of the author and to judge the success of failure of the novel in the terms under which it was written.
By extension, recurrent themes and techniques in previous novels are need to be included in this analysis. Only after such a …
