The Nebraska Egg Cooler, I. L. Williams, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Every producer knows that heat is harmful to the quality of eggs, and that the first step in holding fine egg quality is prompt removal of the animal heat. The Nebraska egg cooler has been developed for this purpose. Construction costs are moderate, and repeated observations demonstrate the effectiveness of the principle. Its basic factor is the temperature-reducing effect of cool, humid air passing over the eggs, as soon as possible after they are gathered.

Bake Bread Successfully, Anna M. Wilson

SDSU Extension Circulars

During the latter spring and summer months of 1946 the United States was able to send more wheat abroad to starving people because we use 80 percent extraction flour instead of the customary 72 percent. Using 80 percent extraction flour taught us that degree of refinement does make a difference in the way flour must be handled in making yeast bread. In this circular we shall learn why wheat means so much to a world harassed with famine and how we can make better use of wheat by understanding the principals involved in breadmaking.

Pollination Cycles And Pollen Dispersal In Relation To Grass Improvement, Melvin D. Jones, L. C. Newell

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The plant breeder is initially concerned with gaining a knowledge of the breeding behavior of his plant materials in order that improvement may be undertaken effectively. It is important to know the different characteristic pollination habits of these plants. To develop and apply techniques applicable to the improvement of a given grass crop, it is desirable to know the time of day and the number of days that the grass sheds pollen. The effects of temperature, humidity, light, and wind on pollination must be considered. Once superiority of germplasm is obtained, the most important consideration is the maintenance of this …

Pig Typhus (Salmonellosis Suis), L. Van Es

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Salmonellosis suis or pig typhus, also designated as pig typhoid, infectious necrotic enteritis, or "necro," is an infectious disease among young pigs. It constitutes a major factor in the mortality of juvenile swine, and as such must be regarded as a more or less perennial hazard in swine production. Infectious necrotic enteritis caused by Salmonella suipestifer is the subject of the present publication.

Vitamins For Poultry, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Vitamins are chemical substances essential for the maintenance of life, growth, and reproduction. Their effects are out of proportion to the relatively small amounts required. Fortunately, most of these essentials are widely distributed in nature, and an adequate ration can nearly always be provided by using logical combinations of common feedstuffs. Under certain conditions, however, the use of vitamin-containing concentrates may be desirable. In planning practical rations, it should be recognized that the plant leaf is the source of most vitamins. Milk and meat products make important vitamin contributions to the diet in addition to their proteins and minerals. Direct …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Xi. A Comparison Of Ground Wheat And Ground Rye In Rations For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

1. The effect of replacing the shorts and bran of a standard ration by ground wheat or ground rye was studied with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. Comparisons were made on the basis of equal intakes of dry matter and nitrogen by all chicks. 3. The wheat-fed lot made a significantly greater gain than the rye-fed lot. 4. Several cases of curled-toe paralysis occurred in the two lots, and a tendency to cannibalism appeared in the rye-fed lot.

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. X. A Comparison Of Open-Pollinated And Hybrid Corn In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

1. The effect of replacing the open-pollinated corn with hybrid corn in an otherwise complete ration was studied in a growth and body analysis experiment with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. The pelleted rations were consumed in identical amounts by all chicks of both lots. 3. There were significant differences in the growth rate of the chicks at the end of a six-weeks feeding trial in favor of the lot fed open-pollinated corn.

Distillers' By-Products And Soybean Meal In Dry Calf Starters For Calves On Limited Quantities Of Milk, H. P. Davis, G. W. Trimberger

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Whole milk is recognized to be very satisfactory as the principal source of nutrients for young growing calves. But the price of milk and its importance as food for human beings has tended to introduce the use of substitutes. Skim milk has been demonstrated to be a satisfactory substitute when fed with grain after the first few weeks of feeding; but since skim milk, too, has become of increased usefulness for human nutrition, this experiment, one of a series, was designed to determine whether or not combinations of various grains, when fortified with vitamins, could be substituted for the solids …

Influence Of Food Plants On Fecundity, Larval Development And Abundance Of The Tuber Flea Beetle In Nebraska, Roscoe E. Hill

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Laboratory and field tests were conducted to determine the effects of different food plants on fecundity, adult longevity and larval development of the tuber flea beetle, Epitrix tuberis Gentner. All food plants tested were those upon which the overwintered beetles commonly feed in the spring following emergence from hibernation.

Ec46-223 My Kitchen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

I have often dreamed of having a kitchen which would be cheerful, convenient, cleanable, and comfortable. If we should build a new home, and I could create my dream kitchen, it would fit the needs of my family, our living habits, our standards of meal preparation and serving, the equipment we could afford, and the amount of help and company we are likely to have.

After looking at pictures and plans, reading literature, and talking to others, I believe that step-saving, workable kitchens don't just happen. There evidently are some basic principles to follow. Several years' experience can give a …
