Page 79 - ... of an important chapter in geology : — " There rolls the deep where grew the tree ; O Earth, what changes thou hast seen ! There where the long street roars hath been The stillness of the central sea. " The hills like shadows melt, they flow From form to form, and nothing stands ; They fade like mists, the solid lands ; Like clouds they shape themselves, and go.
Page 13 - Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did ; " and so, if I might be judge, " God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
Page 49 - The causes of the death of individual bees or of a colony of bees in winter, barring unusual accidents, are only two in number: (1) Inadequate stores and (2) excessive heat production. . The numerous factors usually given in the literature on the subject as entirely distinct fall into these two classes, except for some which are usually given which the authors do not believe to be operative. EXCESSIVE HEAT-GENERATION. — At hive temperatures between about 57° and 69° F.
Page 17 - All dry commodities not otherwise specified ' in this act shall be sold only by standard dry measure, standard weight or numerical count, except where parties otherwise agree. Sec. 11. Berries and small fruits whenever sold in boxes shall...
Page 189 - General color olive, or pale green, or brown, with a broad dark stripe along each side of back. Tapers slightly both ways, joints 4-12 inclusive, divided into two transverse folds. Freckled with numerous pale specks and with piliferous spots, the specks often taking the form of two pale broken lines along the upper edge of dark stripe. The piliferous spots are pale with a central black dot, and are best seen in the dark specimens. On joints 4-12 inclusive they...
Page 54 - Beekeepers have long emphasized the importance of protection from the wind, but results observed' were much more pronounced than was anticipated or than has ever been suspected by practical beekeepers. The ideal toward which the beekeeper should work is to keep his colonies during cold weather absolutely protected from wind, for here again the protection can not be too great. It is entirely erroneous to assume, as some have done, that such protection is not essential in well-packed hives. There are...
Page 71 - It is not the intention to claim here that the aphids are the only distributers of fire blight but rather to give the facts resulting from experiments carried on to control these insects. These facts seem to show that there is a direct relation between the severity of the infestation of aphids and the blight infection.
Page 33 - The color varies, but the predominating color is dark-greenish olive or blackish, marked with narrow pale lines down the back and a whitish stripe along each side. If disturbed on the branch it will drop suddenly, suspended by a fine silken cord. The wings of the male moth expand a little more than an inch. The front wings are semitransparent, brownish-gray in color, with three rather indistinct dark lines across them.
Page 144 - ... sowing of seed for general crops until June or July. If a small quantity of each esteemed variety be sown two or three times in these months, they will produce a plentiful supply for use in autumn and the early part of winter. One ounce of good Endive-seed will produce about five thousand plants. When the plants...
Page 53 - F., except for a reduction in temperature under one condition to be discussed on the next page. The aim of the beekeeper should be to keep the air about the bees at about 57° F., at which temperature there is no condensation of moisture within the hive, even on the inside of the cover, where it first appears. It might be inferred that if double the amount of packing had been used the temperature of the air about the bees would have been too high. This is not the case, for bees cease heat generation...
