หน้า 140 - Cart the manure on the field, spread it at once, and wait for a favourable opportunity to plough it in. In the case of clay soils, I have no hesitation to say the manure may be spread even six months before it is ploughed in, without losing any appreciable quantity of manuring matters.
หน้า 169 - The dung pit, which contained all the excrementitious matter of the 14 cattle, as well as the litter employed in bedding them, and which was kept separate for the purpose of the experiment, only furnished during the same period 240 loads, and these, at the same rate, could only manure 6 acres.
หน้า 19 - ... condition, and any sort may be selected and withdrawn without disturbing the rest, by reading the projecting label. We have never found sand, earth, sawdust, or any other packing substance, so convenient, clean, and easily removed and replaced, as moss, for packing grafts. It is needful, however, to keep an occasional eye to them, to see that the proper degree of moisture is maintained — which should be just enough (and not a particle more,} to keep them from shrivelling. They must, of course,...
หน้า 114 - ... mostly vertical, admit the free descent of the water from above. * A correspondent of the Country Gentleman, writing from Monroe county, NY, says: " I have made several hundred rods, and make more or less every year, and have made at all seasons of the year. The best time is in the spring, as soon as the ground is settled, especially where there is hard-pan, as that then works the easiest. My mode is to commence with team and plow — cut two furrows, one from the other — then put the plow...
หน้า 19 - The name may be written on a strip of pine board or shingle, half an inch wide, a tenth of an inch thick, and nearly as long as the scions. This, if tied up with the bunch, will keep the name secure. For convenience in quickly determining the name, there should be another strip of shingle, sharp at one end, and with the name distinctly written on the other, thrust into the bundle with the name projecting from it. If these bunches or bundles are now placed on ends in a box, with plenty of damp moss...
หน้า 92 - The course of study has been arranged with direct reference to the wants and interests of the agricultural class in our State. It will embrace a wide range of instruction in English Literature, in Mathematics, and in Natural Science. Special attention will be given to the Theory and Practice of Agriculture in all its departments and minutiae.
หน้า 149 - The drain for brush is dug like any other drain, but is best if a foot or more wide. The brush may be cut a few feet in length, and should not be more than an inch or two in diameter. If the branches are straight and nearly parallel, they may be larger and longer than if crooked and spreading. In the latter instance they must be cut quite short, or they will not lie well. Commence always at the...
หน้า 149 - Of from the descent. This position tends constantly to throw the descending water to the bottom or lowest part of the drain. If a sufficient quantity of brush be laid in to fill the ditch, it will occupy, after being trodden down and the earth filled in, only about one third of the ditch. Inverted turf forms a good cover for the brush, before throwing the earth in. The sides should be nearly perpendicular, or the brush will not settle well.
หน้า 203 - ... which marl exists as a constituent of the soil, or is used as a manure. The fact of this remarkable difference, in favor of our marl districts, is that which mainly concerns the practical farmer, but the cause of it cannot but be interesting to reflecting minds. Whether its special action is due to some component of the marl, or whether its usefulness is partly owing to the mingling of new earth, taken from beneath the surface, with the soil, is a question not easily answered* There is no effect...
หน้า 289 - The experiment to prove transmutation was the following : A quantity of earth was passed through a fine sieve, to separate all chess seeds. It was placed in a pan, and several heads of wheat planted in it. When the wheat came up, it was subjected to all the hard treatment that usually produces winter-killing, viz., flooding with water, and alternately freezing and thawIng for several times. Late in the spring, the whole contents of the pan were removed and set out in open ground. When the plants...
