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 …

Winner of the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1931, this novel is the story of a struggling Japanese artist and his housekeeper who adopt a three-colored cat and how that affects their lives and fortunes. Commissioned to make a painting of the death of Buddha to be hung in the village temple, the artist imagines the various animals whose forms had been taken in the Buddha’s past lives and the generous deeds they had done, as the cat—auspiciously named “Good Fortune”—looks on with hopes to be included. Could a cat, from a species usually so proud …

Homes For Birds, E. R. Kalmbach, W. L. Mcatee

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

Birds appeal strongly to the interest and affection of mankind. Not only do they charm by their graceful forms, harmonious colors, sprightly actions, and usually pleasing notes, but they have an even more important claim upon our esteem because of their great economic value.

Birds feed upon practically all insect pests. They are voracious, able to move freely from place to place, and exert a steady influence in keeping down the swelling tide of insect life.

For economic as well as for esthetic reasons, therefore, an effort should be made to attract and protect birds and to increase their numbers. …

A Recent Theory Of Ballad-Making, Louise Pound

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Professor Gordon Hall Gerould's article entitled "The Making of Ballads"' is an attractive essay, written in the fluent and polished manner that we are accustomed to expect from this scholar. It has charm of style, and its positions, taken as a whole, may be termed accepted positions. Because of its literary quality, because it brings together in one paper what has hithert been stressed in scattered places, and because of its appreciation of the poetical quality of those English and Scottish ballads sough out by the notable collectors of the earlier nineteenth century and made available in the volumes of …

Bovine Tuberculosis, L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The development of the present-day knowledge of the tuberculoses of animals is so intimately associated with that pertaining to the human form of the disease that the latter needs to be included in the historical considerations, without which it would be difficult to view any phase of the subject in a comprehensive manner.

Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The production of sound, clean fruit is unquestionably one of the major problems facing the modern fruit grower. Culture may be neglected and pruning delayed for a time but the omission of sprays for even a single season demonstrates their absolute necessity. This applies equally to the commercial grower and to the farmer or gardener who has only a few trees.

Wild Birds Introduced Or Transplanted In North America, John C. Phillips

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

The early history of the introduction of foreign birds into this country is mostly clothed in darkness. The records of many attempts, if such there were, have long since been buried in back numbers of local newspapers, and if any experiment was unsuccessful it was soon forgotten. Hence, one trying to get an accurate idea of what has happened soon realizes that he is following a hopeless quest. It is much the same with the transplanting of native birds, especially game birds, which have been carried about all over the country from west to east and from east to west …

Some Aspects Of The Intellectual Poise Of George Robert Gissing, Glenn Orville Kelley

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Thls study, Some Aspects of the Intellectual Poise of George Robert Gising, had its inception in a course in The Novel, an Intepretation of Life, offered by Doctor Frederick A. Stuff in the summer session of the University of Nebraska in 1926. More narrowly, it began with that part of the course treating of the mode in literature known as realism. In one reference, Wilson Follett's The Modern Novel, was found the following statement relative to the novels of George Gissing, an author of whom the writer of this thesis had not previously heard.

"Hardly any parallel could show …

The Etymology Of An English Expletive, Louise Pound

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Professor G. P. Krapp makes an attractive case for his derivation of darn, darned in the brief essay on this word in his recent The English Language in America. He discards the usual explanation that darn is a variant or minced form of damn, and believes that, although it now stands in intimate relation to damn, it had an independent origin. He takes as his starting point the Old English adjective dierne, 'secret,' Middle English derne, Elizabethan dern, and assumes a transition from a descriptive adjective or adverb to an imprecation. The adjective took …

Co=Ge=We=A: The Half–Blood. A Depiction Of The Great Montana Cattle Range, Hum-Ishu-Ma "Mourning Dove", Christine Quintasket, Susan Kalter (Ed.)

Electronic Texts in American Studies

Described as “a work of Indigenous empowerment,” this novel was completed in 1912 but remained unpublished until 1927. It begins:

It was sunset on the river Pend d’Oreille. The last rays of the day-God, glinting through the tangled vines screening the great porch of the homestead of the Horseshoe Brand Ranch, fell upon a face of rare type. The features were rather prominent and well de-fined. The rich olive complexion, the grave, pensive countenance, proclaimed a proud descent from the only true American—the Indian. Of mixed blood, was Cogewea; a “breed”!—the socially ostracized of two races. Her eyes of the …

The Value Of English Linguistics To The Teacher, Louise Pound

Department of English: Faculty Publications

WHAT is included in the usual course in the history of the English language? Presumably some teachers emphasize the translation of older monuments, some emphasize training in etymologies, some phonetic changes, and some changes in language structure and forms. Some offer courses in the hope of fostering a more accurate use of language, some because of the discipline ~o be gained from the study of language ID the abstract, and some in order to afford the necessary preparation for the scholar. All have in mind the development, on the part of the student, of a scientific attitude toward language. Any …

Canning Club Demonstration - Building A Team Demonstration For Greens : Extension Circular 9-38-2, Jessie Greene

Nebraska 4-H Clubs: Historical Materials and Publications

This 4-H circular discusses the creation of a demonstration. A demonstration is simply showing someone how to do a piece of work. When one person shows and explains how to do some part of a club problem we call it an individual demonstration. When two or more people work together showing and explaining some problem it is a team demonstration. It is best to begin the demonstrational work at the first regular meeting and have some phase of it at each meeting. At first it may seem hard to demonstrate but with practice it becomes easier and is enjoyed by …

Chapter Five: Agriculture Comes Into Its Own, Robert Crawford

These Fifty Years: A History of the College of Agriculture of the University of Nebraska

IT MAY be said that it took eighteen years to lay the foundation of agricultural instruction and research in Nebraska, and another eighteen years to build on this foundation. The eighteen years beginning about 1890 marked a period of great development for the Industrial College as well as the University itself. A School of Agriculture was early established and in a comparatively few years began to number its students in the hundreds. What the agricultural department of the Industrial College had heretofore lacked in numbers, this secondary school supplied. For the first time, the college farm began to be regarded …
