Page 9 - Its object shall be to improve the condition of agriculture, the rural household and mechanic arts. Section 1. The society shall consist of such citizens of the state as shall signify in writing their wish to become members and shall pay, on subscribing, not less than one dollar and annually thereafter one dollar; and also of honorary and corresponding members. The presidents of...
Page 272 - Together with the phosphoric acid, traces of silica, and generally also traces of oxide of iron, are thrown down with the magnesia precipitate. In order to separate these impurities the precipitate is dissolved in a few drops of hydrochloric acid, and the acid solution carefully evaporated to complete dryness. The hard, dried residue is again made acid with muriatic acid, a little water is then added, and the liquid passed through a small filter, on which are left insoluble traces of the silica originally...
Page 499 - The right way to dispose of town sewage is to apply it continuously to land, and it is only by such application that the pollution of rivers can be avoided.
Page 59 - No person shall be accepted or rejected as trustee, professor, or student, on account of any religious or political views which he may or may not entertain.
Page 260 - ... large quantities of manure were used. Taking all these circumstances into account, is there not presumptive evidence that notwithstanding the removal of a large amount of nitrogen in the clover-hay, an abundant store of available nitrogen is left in the soil, and also that in its relations towards nitrogen in the soil clover differs essentially from wheat?
Page 281 - ... of plants in the produce of an acre, clover is an excellent preparatory crop for wheat. 4. During the growth of clover a large amount of nitrogenous matter accumulates in the soil.
Page 269 - This soil, it will be seen, contained in appreciable quantities not only potash and phosphoric acid, but all the elements of fertility which enter into the composition of good arable land. It may be briefly described as a stiff clay-soil, containing a sufficiency of lime, potash, and phosphoric acid to meet all the requirements of the clover crop. Originally rather unproductive, it has been much improved by deep culture ; by being smashed up into rough clods early in autumn, and by being exposed...
Page 277 - ... surface soil, when clover is grown for seeds ; thus explaining intelligibly, as it appears to me, why wheat, as stated by many practical men, succeeds better on land where clover is grown for seed than where it is mown for hay. All the three layers of the soil after...
Page 116 - ... beans then), than to make the ready dollar. In this I have fully succeeded. I wanted to make two spears of grass grow where but one grew before, and I am sure I am getting three, some of my neighbors say four ; however, I call it three. The meadows that used to cut from one-half to one ton of hay per acre, now yield on an average over two.
Page 259 - As far, therefore, as the removal from the soil of a large amount of mineral soil constituents, by the clover crop is concerned, the fact viewed in the light of the Rothamsted experiments, becomes at once intelligible; for, notwithstanding, the abstraction of over 600 Ibs. of mineral matter by a crop of clover, the succeeding wheat crop does not suffer. Inasmuch, however, as we have seen, that not only much mineral matter is carried off...
