עמוד 448 - And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he epake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
עמוד 590 - And he gathers the prayers as he stands, And they change into flowers in his hands. Into garlands of purple and red ; And beneath the great arch of the portal, Through the streets of the City Immortal, Is wafted the fragrance they shed.
עמוד xvii - ... they and their successors may have and use a common seal, and may change and alter the same at their pleasure, and also they and their successors, by the name and style of " The New York Institution for the Blind...
עמוד 384 - ... and he quotes Mr. Meire, a breeder, who at a meeting of a farmers' club in Shropshire, 1858, observed : It is not attempted to be denied that the Shropshire is a cross-bred sheep. The original breed was horned, and the first attempt at improvement was to get rid of these incumbrances, and there is little doubt that this was effected by a cross of the Southdown. This sheep was well adapted for the downs, but for the inclosures of Shropshire something more docile was required, consequently recourse...
עמוד xvii - Upon filing a certificate as aforesaid, the persons who shall have signed and acknowledged such certificate, and their associates and successors, shall thereupon by virtue of this act, be a body politic and corporate by the name stated in such certificate, and by that name they and their successors shall and may have succession, and shall be persons in law capable of suing and being sued...

Let it be here, however, repeated as an exceptional truth, that though as a rule the male parent influences mostly...
עמוד 369 - The most probable supposition is, that propagation is done by halves, each parent giving to the offspring the shape of one-half of the body ; thus the back, loins, hind-quarters, general shape, skin and size, follow one parent ; and the fore-quarters, head, vital and nervous system, the other, and we may go so far as to add, that the former in the great majority of cases go with the male parent, and the latter with the female.
עמוד 19 - Nearly a quarter of a century ago a plan for an agricultural school was discussed, and measures, looking towards establishing one, were taken. Nothing material, however, was effected until the winter of 1853, when a charter was obtained for the New York State Agricultural College, located at Ovid. Three years later the Legislature authorized a loan of $40,000 to it from the State Treasury, on condition that a like sum should be raised by private subscription. This was promptly done, and the work...
עמוד 359 - I am truly their associate: but events have controlled my predilection for its practice, and denied to me that uninterrupted attention, which alone can enable us to advance in it with a sure step. Perhaps I may find opportunities of being useful to you as a centinel at an outpost, by conveying intelligence of whatever may occur here new and interesting to agriculture. This duty I shall perform with pleasure, as well in respectful return for the notice of the board, as from a zeal for improving the...
עמוד 347 - Tahiti will grow rapidly upon it, and the palms and bananas of Japan will change it into flowers. The oxygen we are breathing was distilled for us some short time ago by the magnolias of the...
