Página 279 - She has frequently stood a single partridge at forty yards distance, her nose in a direct line to the bird. After standing some considerable time, she would drop like a setter, still keeping her nose in an exact line, and would continue in that position until the game moved ; if it took wing, she would come up to the place, and put her nose...
Página 25 - I boil through the day, taking care not to have anything in the kettle that will give color to the sap, and to keep it well skimmed. At night I leave fire enough under the kettle to boil the sap nearly or quite to syrup by the next morning. I then take it out of the kettle and strain it through a flannel cloth, into a tub, if it is sweet enough ; if not, I put it...
Página 288 - Fresh Gleanings; Or, a New Sheaf from the Old Fields of Continental Europe.
Página 365 - I do not, however, recommend that animals closely allied by blood should be put together generally; yet I have known very good sheep, for instance, produced by putting the son of a ram called A to a daughter of A, in cases where their points would suit each other ; and I should never hesitate in doing so. I cannot see the utility of crossing for the sake of crossing or changing, unless I can perceive superior qualities in another person's flock which mine...
Página 9 - The Galloway is short in the leg, and moderately fine in the shank bones, — the happy medium seems to be preserved in the leg, which secures hardihood and a disposition to fatten. With the same cleanness and shortness of shank, there is no breed so large and muscular above the knee, while there is more room for the deep, broad and capacious chest. He is clean, not fine and slender, but well proportioned in the neck and chaps ; a thin and delicate neck would not correspond -with the broad shoulders,...
Página 315 - ... left upon the hands of, the farmer, in his own products, for which there is no market, his energies are paralyzed, his spirits sink, and he scarcely feels that the year has added to his gains. He sees little encouragement in toiling on, to cultivate beyond his wants, productions which will not sell; and the chances are, that his farm is neglected, his husbandry becomes bad, and his gains in fact cease. To continue a progressive state of improvement in agriculture, then, and to give energy and...
Página 278 - Of this most extraordinary animal will be here stated a short history, to the veracity of which there are hundreds of living witnesses. Slut was bred in, and was of that sort which maintain themselves in the New Forest without regular feeding, except when they have young; and then but for a few weeks; and was given, when about three months old, to be a breeding sow, by Mr. Thomas, to Mr. Richard Toomer, both at that time keepers in the forest. From having no young, she was not fed, or taken very...
Página 315 - ... energy are requisite to carry forward these improvements to that degree of perfection dictated alike by interest and by duty, and the stimulus of a steady and remunerating market will rouse that resolution and nerve that energy. Without this encouragement in prospect, few will persevere in making improvements which require close and constant mental application, as well as severe physical labor. Agriculture will never be healthfully or profitably prosecuted by him whose controlling object is his...
Página 315 - ... acre of ground with a small proportionate increase of labor and expense; and that the farmer who pursues this improved system of agriculture, can, like the merchant and mechanic referred to, enter the market with a better production, at a cheaper price, than his less enterprising competitor. " ' This change in the agriculture of our State and country opens to the mind reflections of the most cheering character. If carried out to its legitimate results it promises a competition among our farmers,...
Página 315 - ... favorably upon a first impression. Still, examination has produced differences of opinion between statesmen of equal intelligence and patriotism, as to its influences upon the happiness and prosperity of a country and its population. Any examination of this question would lead to a discussion properly considered political, if not partisan, and all such discussions it is my settled purpose to avoid, as inappropriate to the place and the occasion. I simply propose to inquire as to a fact, which...
