Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of Pastures in Eastern New York and the New England States The dairy pastures in the region referred to have depreciated very greatly, and in many instances to the extent that they have very little value. In direct contrast there are numerous beef-cattle pas tures in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia of the same age that are fully as productive as ever, and are valued at f$100 or more an acre, even when located 20 to 30 miles from a railroad. In the northwestern part of Middlesex County, Ontario, there is an area of nearly acres that the farmers, owing to scarcity of labor, have rented to cattle grazers' for fattening export cattle. After twenty years' use practically all of these pastures are as good as ever, and in many instances have actually improved. Care is taken that these pastures shall not be overgrazed. If such pastures show any tendency to depreciation, steps, such as feeding roughage on the high points dur ing the winter season to add to the fertility, the application of lime and bone meal, and other means that may be considered necessary, are immediately taken to restore them. All weeds that are likely to prove dangerous are carefully kept out. In the corn belt men buy badly worn land for $25 an acre, and by putting it into pastures and feeding cattle on it are able to build tip this land so that in from five to ten years it is worth from $100 to $125 an acre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasture Improvement in Upshur County Although it is possible to express results of pasture treatment either in terms of total yield, of total digestible nutrients, or of pounds gain in the case of feeding trials, this gives only a part of the story from an economic viewpoint. With so many variables involved, there is yet to be worked out a satisfactory conversion factor which will truly ex press all of the benefits or values of pasture treatment in terms of money evaluation. It was pointed out that the tests in this experiment were on a farm basis and not on a plot basis. There were many factors which could not be accurately controlled such as soil type, slope, exposure, rate of application, exact boundaries of treatment etc. The chief value of this study lies ln showing, not what results might be obtained experimentally on uniform plots but what results actually were obtained on farms under operating conditions. Farmers were convinced of the value of pasture improvement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Creatures of Empire written by Virginia DeJohn Anderson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of the key figures of early American history, we think of explorers, or pilgrims, or Native Americans--not cattle, or goats, or swine. But as Virginia DeJohn Anderson reveals in this brilliantly original account of colonists in New England and the Chesapeake region, livestock played a vitally important role in the settling of the New World. Livestock, Anderson writes, were a central factor in the cultural clash between colonists and Indians as well as a driving force in the expansion west. By bringing livestock across the Atlantic, colonists believed that they provided the means to realize America's potential. It was thought that if the Native Americans learned to keep livestock as well, they would be that much closer to assimilating the colonists' culture, especially their Christian faith. But colonists failed to anticipate the problems that would arise as Indians began encountering free-ranging livestock at almost every turn, often trespassing in their cornfields. Moreover, when growing populations and an expansive style of husbandry required far more space than they had expected, colonists could see no alternative but to appropriate Indian land. This created tensions that reached the boiling point with King Philip's War and Bacon's Rebellion. And it established a pattern that would repeat time and again over the next two centuries. A stunning account that presents our history in a truly new light, Creatures of Empire restores a vital element of our past, illuminating one of the great forces of colonization and the expansion westward.

Download or read book Changes in the Land written by William Cronon and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that launched environmental history, William Cronon's Changes in the Land, now revised and updated. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best.
Download or read book A Savage War of Peace written by Alistair Horne and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.
