The Tapeworms Of The Rhinoceroses, A Study Based On Material From The Belgian Congo, Horace W. Stunkard

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

During the course of my study on the parasitic worms collected by the Lang-Chapin expedition of the American Museum to the Belgian Congo, I have had the good fortune to examine abundant material of Plagiotaenia gigantea (Peters). This interesting species, the first reported from the rhinoceros, has been confused with other cestodes from rhinoceros hosts, has been assigned to no less than three different genera in addition to the genus Taenia, to which it was originally referred, and has been the source of much discussion and difference of opinion during the past seventy years. A review of the literature …

Winter Wheat Investigations, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Twenty years of wheat breeding, consisting chiefly of the isolation and testing of pure lines, has now been conducted at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. It is the purpose of this paper to report the conduct and results of this work. The resulting strains are compared with the best other wheats available from Nebraska and other sources. The effects of a number of cultural practices related to the preparation of seed, seeding, treatment of the growing crop, and harvesting are also presented. Some consideration is given to the experimental technique of the comparative tests.

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 …

Some Marine Fish Trematodes Of Maine, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

During the summer of 1924 a study of marine fish parasites was made at the Mount Desert Island (Maine, USA) Biological Laboratory. The present paper represents a preliminary report on the trematode group. Three new species of trematodes are described. Only brief consideration is here given to species already known. A later paper will deal more completely with these and related forms.

Includes brief descriptions of Podocotyle atomon (Rud. 1802), Podocotyle olssoni Odhner 1905, Stephanochasmus baccatus Nicoll 1907, Lepidapedon rachion (Cobb.) 1858, Lepidapedon elongatum (Lebour 1908), Homalometron pallidum Staff. 1904, Steganoderma formosum Staff. 1904, Otodistomum cestoides (van Ben. 1870), Hemiurus …

The Natural Vegetation Of Ohio, Paul B. Sears

Papers in Ecology

This map has been prepared by transcribing the species of bearing trees recorded by the original surveyors who traversed the Territory and State of Ohio before the destruction of the virgin forest by the hands of white men.

Surveying of Ohio was begun in July, 1786, (1) under The Geographer of the United States, Thomas Hutchins, employing for the first time his device of sections one mile square. This empirical device was hailed as a great American invention, although the State of Ohio has since been found to possess a curved surface in common with the rest of the earth. …

Political Organization Of The Plains Indians, With Special Reference To The Council, Maurice Greer Smith

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

Next to sociological field work, ... there are within this branch of study no other investigations so urgently needed as monographs on some definite class of social phenomena or institutions among a certain group of related tribes. A comparative treatment of some social institution as it exists throughout the uncivilized races of the world undoubtedly has value .... But at the same time a comparative study suffers from defects which seem wellnigh inseparable from the prosecution of so great a task. A social institution is not an isolated phenomenon, but is closely connected with a variety of facts. It is …

Prosthennops Xiphodonticus, Sp. Nov.: A New Fossil Peccary From Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour

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

During the field season of 1915, while collecting, a mile or two west of Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska, Messrs. A. C. Whitford and J. B. Burnett secured for the Morrill-Maiben Palaeontological Collections, The Nebraska State Museum, The University of Nebraska, a finely preserved jaw of a small fossil hog, or peccary, belonging to the genus Frosthennops, accessioned No. 85-11-8-15B. & W.

The mandible under consideration was preserved in fine sand and is without blemish save that the condyle and coronoid are wanting. The dentition is perfect. In allusion to the sword-like tusks, which are unduly large, the species name xiphodonticus …

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 …

Ec25-228 Farm Slaughter Of Hogs, Wm. J. Loeffel

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Slaughtering hogs and curing the meat on the farm is a common practice which makes available a palatable and nutritious food. It utilizes labor at a season of the year when usually there is no great rush of work.

As a general rule, farm slaughter is not to be recommended until cold weather is a certainty, for warm weather is apt to cause heavy spoilage. Meat is a highly perishable food product, therefore absolute cleanliness should prevail in its handling. Contamination of meat by soiled hands, clothing, tools, or containers is not only insanitary but actually lowers the keeping quality …

Rb25-207 The Spindle-Tuber Disease: One Cause Of "Run-Out" Seed Potatoes, H.O. Werner

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The spindle-tuber disease is one of the most prevalent potato diseases occurring in all parts of Nebraska. It has been found in all varieties tested. It does much damage to the potato crop, in that it reduces the yield and injures the market quality of the potatoes.

This 1925 publication discusses the spindler-tuber disease also known as "running-out" or degeneracy of seed potatoes; the distribution of the disease; effect upon yield and quality; symptoms of the different potato varieties; transmission of the disease and experiments; rate of increase of the disease; dry land versus irrigation in western Nebraska; straw mulching …

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 …
