עמוד 74 - ... per head per week, which I believe the stock well paid for, has entirely altered the face of pastures from what they were three years ago, when the plan was first adopted by him, and I believe without any loss to himself.
עמוד 146 - ... busily at work depositing their eggs among the soft chaff of the young ear. We are anxious that the present cold weather should continue for another ten days, to prevent the eggs from hatching until the wheat be sufficiently hardened, and beyond the state * Trans. Linn. Soc., vol. iv. p. 237. which affords nourishment to the maggot. Another year or two of the wheat-fly will make two-thirds of the farmers here bankrupts...
עמוד 95 - Dol-y-frwynog mine, about two years afterwards, Sir Charles Price operated similarly upon several tons of material, but with the same provoking failure as before. At present the Clogau mine is the most interesting and profitable. It stands at an elevation of 1000 feet above the level of the sea. The " Saint David's " or " Gold Lode " is the most remarkable feature.
עמוד 486 - ... became perfectly still and motionless. Whilst this operation was performing, the larva appeared to feel a momentary sensation of pain, for it gave a violent wriggle. When all was finished, the little Ichneumon marched off to seek for a second, which was obliged to undergo the same operation, and so on to as many as it could find in which no egg had been before deposited, for it commits only a single egg to each larva. I have seen it frequently mount one which had been pricked before, but it soon...
עמוד 102 - The number of cows kept for the purposes of a cheese dairy is seldom less than 8 or 10, or more than 70 or 80 ; and is of course regulated by the size of the farms — these average about 90 or 100 statute acres, upon each of which about 15 or 18 cows are kept. From 18 cows, a cheese of from 36 Ibs. to 54 Ibs. weight is made daily during four or five months of the summer...
עמוד 435 - A piece of several acres was enclosed in 1835, and put into turnips. One portion was manured with bones, at the rate of 24 bushels per acre; the other portion of the field was simply manured with the ashes obtained from breaking up and burning the land. In the years 1836 and 1837 it was successively cropped with oats, and then laid down to permanent pasture. At the present time — nearly ten years since it was first broken from the waste, which was nothing...
עמוד 41 - Carrs empties itself; but, unfortunately, when high tide flowed up that river, there was frequent interruption to the drainage, from the water in the river being higher than that in the drain ; and it would have flowed in upon the Carrs had not flood gates prevented it.
עמוד 75 - ... and a little hay chaff. While they are feeding, the manure and wet litter must be well cleared away, and any which may be on the bullocks taken off, the floor swept clean, and plenty of fresh litter put in ; then have every bullock well brushed with what is called a dandy-brush, being a brush made of whalebone, for taking the rough dirt off of horses.
עמוד 76 - ... •It will be observed that cleanliness, warmth, and quiet are the great points I insist upon, of course coupled with good feeding; but very many tons of oil-cake are annually wasted, because the comfort of the animals is not more attended to. "Before I conclude, I wish to give these recommendations respecting selling the bullocks when fat : Do not determine upon parting with them exactly at a given time ; but if a butcher wants to buy a part of them a few weeks before you think they are ready,...
עמוד 104 - I have known instances of good cheese being made in summer without warming any portion of the evening's milk, indeed such now is becoming the general practice. In very warm weather some dairy-maids think it necessary to reduce even the temperature of the morning's milk. The cream, which is diluted either in about double its quantity of warm or new milk, or by being exposed to the heat of the boiler in the same way as the milk, is next put in. I have before stated that it is customary to retain a...
