Strana 573 - There is a Yew-tree, pride of Lorton Vale, Which to this day stands single, in the midst Of its own darkness, as it stood of yore : Not loth to furnish weapons for the bands Of Umfraville or Percy ere they marched To Scotland's heaths ; or those that crossed the sea And drew their sounding bows at Azincour, Perhaps at earlier Crecy, or Poictiers. Of vast circumference and gloom profound This solitary Tree ! a living thing Produced too slowly ever to decay ; Of form and aspect too magnificent To be...
Strana xxvii - This is a very low rate, but in all probability it may not be lower than would be found in an equal number of selected lives taken from an agricultural district. The results of the sanitary inquiry show that sewage farming is not detrimental to life or health.
Strana 454 - ... and to find sureties, both or either, for keeping the peace, in addition to such punishment : Provided that no person shall be imprisoned under this clause for not finding sureties for any period exceeding one...
Strana 166 - ... fluctuating characters of growth and produce. It is, in fact, the distribution of the various elements making up the season, their mutual adaptations, and their adaptation to the stage of growth of the plant, which throughout influence the tendency to produce quantity or quality. It not unfrequently happens, too, that some passing conditions, not indicated by a summary of the meteorological registry, may affect the crop very strikingly ; and thus the cause will be overlooked, unless careful observations...
Strana 166 - It is obvious that different seasons will differ almost infinitely at each succeeding period of their advance, and that, with each variation, the character of development of the plant will also vary, tending to luxuriance, or to maturation, that is, to quantity or to quality, as the case may be. Hence, only a very detailed consideration of climatic statistics, taken together with careful periodic observations in the field, can afford a really clear perception of the connection between the ever-fluctuating...
Strana 336 - Ib. sodium nitrate, each year, thirty years, 1854-55 to 1883-84, on Plot 9 ; and the same manures on Plot 16, 1884-85, and each year since. In forming the estimate of the average produce per acre in the United Kingdom each year, the plan has been to take the mean produce of the unmanured plot, the farmyardmanure plot, and of the three artificially manured plots reckoned as one, and to reduce the result so obtained to bushels of the adopted weight of 61 Ib. per bushel. As will be shown farther on,...
Strana 230 - The last week in September and the first two weeks in October are, in my opinion, the best times for sowing.
Strana xii - Permanent pasture, meadow, or grass! not broken up in rotation (exclusive! of heath or mountain land) . . . . j LITE STOCK : — Cattle Total number of horses used for^ agriculture, unbroken horses,!
Strana 335 - Registrar-General publishes an estimate of the population at the middle of the calendar year for every year between one census and another; and from these data we have calculated the average number of consumers for the harvest-year. The middle of the calendar year being the end of June, and the middle of the harvest-year the end of February, the plan adopted has been to add to the number recorded for the preceding midsummer two-thirds of the difference between that figure and the number given for...
Strana 166 - As only about 5 per cent of the total wheat crop (the nitrogen and ash constituents) is derived from the soil itself, the remainder coming directly or indirectly from the atmosphere, and as the amount of matter accumulated from either source depends mainly on the quantity and the relations to one another of heat and moisture, we F cannot be surprised that the character of the seasons exercises such a preponderating influence on the growth of our crops.
