Download or read book Alfalfa Lucerne Spanish Trefoil United Clover Brazilian Clover French Clover Medic Purple Medic Medicago Sativa written by F. D. Coburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alfalfa, Lucerne, Spanish Trefoil, United, Clover, Brazilian Clover, French Clover, Medic, Purple Medic;;; (Medicago Sativa): Practical Information on Its Production, Qualities, Worth and Uses, Especially in the United States and Canada Eastward from the Pacific coast was not, however, the only route of introduction of alfalfa into America. It was early known in Germany and other northern countries of Europe, but never became so popular there as farther south. As early as 1820, years before it reached California, it was grown in New York, but seems to have been little appreciated. It is interesting to know that such old-time agri cultural authorities as Columella and Jethro Tull were familiar with alfalfa. French lucerne was introduced into England as early as 1650, but seems to have been much neglected for many years. In 1765 a farmer in Kent had fourteen acres. It is stated that at that time alfalfa was recognized as increasing the milk of kine, but an authority who knew it well asserted that cattle were apt to grow tired of it and are subject to be blown by it. These statements are interesting from the fact that so many consider alfalfa a new plant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alfalfa on Wildwood Farm and How to Succeed With It Farmers of Ohio are hearing much of alfalfa through their agricultural papers at the pres ent time; but few of them have heard of it until within the last twenty years, the old files of the papers being silent. We thought it was some thing new to the world, and are surprised to learn that it is at least as old as history and that it was grown in Central America and Mexico one hundred years ago. There are alfalfa fields in Texas, New Mexico, and California, some of them one hundred years old. We have not known, but it is a fact, that alfalfa under the name of Lucerne was grown in parts of New York and New England a century ago.

Download or read book Alfalfa the Grass In Ohio written by Allen O. Myers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alfalfa, "the Grass" In Ohio: Where, How and Why to Grow It Recent investigations show that lucerne was brought to several Eastern states in this country from Europe and grown as early as 1800. But the people knew little about its merits and nature. Cattle and sheep easily bloated upon it and there was a prejudice against it on this account, and by many it was looked upon as too poisonous and dangerous for use upon the farm, and it was quickly crowded out by common clover. In addition, the rapid and continuous growth of Alfalfa made it too laborious and difficult to cut with the scythe. The modern implements used in farming have not only doubled but multiplied the production and possibilities of alfalfa, the grandest grass that the Bountiful Giver of all good has ever instituted for the farmer, to lighten the toils of the tiller of the soil and double the rewards of his patient and intelligent labor.

Covers basic anatomy, common breeds and husbandry. Divided into chapters covering each body system Offers the common differential diagnoses, followed by the specific diagnosis and recommended treatments Covers a wide range of disorders, including new and emerging diseases Modern goat keeping gives us a full spectrum of activity from nomadic tribes moving with their animals, to the range-keeping in Australia, to units fattening goat kids for meat and to intensive goat dairy production systems. Alongside these production systems are those in which goats are kept in small numbers as a hobby, as pets and at public attractions. This book deals with the diseases and challenges impacting all kinds of goats and their owners. It will be invaluable to veterinarians in practice and training, animal scientists and agricultural advisors, as well as scientists interested in animal welfare.

Download or read book Crop Protection in Medieval Agriculture written by Jan C. Zadoks and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediterranean and West European pre-modern agriculture (agriculture before 1600) was by necessity ‘organic agriculture’. Crop protection is part and parcel of this agriculture, with weed control in the forefront. Crop protection is embedded in the medieval agronomy text books but specialised sections do occur. Weeds, insects and diseases are described but identification in modern terms is not easy. The pre-modern ‘Crop Portfolio’ is well filled, certainly in the Mediterranean area. The medieval ‘Pest Portfolio’ differs from the modern one because agriculture then was a Low External Input Agriculture, and because the proportion of cultivated to non-cultivated land was drastically lower than today. The pre-modern ‘Control Portfolio’ is surprisingly rich, both in preventive and interventive measures. Prevention was by risk management, intensive tillage, and careful storage. Intervention was mechanical and chemical. Chemical intervention used natural substances such as sulphur, pitch, and ‘botanicals’. Some fifty plant species are mentioned in a crop protection context. Though application methods look rather modern they are typically low-tech. Among them are seed disinfection, spraying, dusting, fumigation, grease banding, wound care, and hand-picking but also scarification, now outdated. The reality of pest outbreaks and other damages is explored as to frequency, intensity, and extent. Information on the practical use of the recommended treatments is scanty. If applied, their effectiveness remains enigmatic. Three medieval agronomists are at the heart of this book, but historical developments in crop protection from early Punic, Greek, and Roman authors to the first modern author are outlined. The readership of these writers was the privileged class of landowners but hints pointing to the exchange of ideas between them and the common peasant were found. Consideration is given to the pre-modern reasoning in matters of crop protection. Comparison of pre-modern crop protection and its counterpart in modern organic agriculture is difficult because of drastic changes in the relation between crop areas and non-crop areas, and because of the great difference in yield levels then and now, with several associated differences.
