Download or read book Henderson s Special List of Farm Seeds Classic Reprint written by Peter Henderson And Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henderson's Special List of Farm Seeds The stalks grow to a height of from twelve to fourteen feet but are not massive, although of good resisting quality, standing up well. The foliage is luxuriant, the stalks being furnished to the bottom, making the fodder of exceptional feeding value. It was raised seven years ago in York County, Pennsylvania, by an expert corn farmer, and by repeated selec tion has been brought to its present excellence. Henderson's Diamond Jubilee will give a better return on poor or lean soil than almost any other variety, as it does not seem to require as much plant food as most sorts, although the better the soil, the better the corn. According to analysis the stalks contain from 4 to 6 per cent of potash. It 1s from ten to fourteen days earlier than Long's Champion, consequently can be planted further North, with every chance of fully maturing, rather than that long season variety. We recommend planting it, if m hills, three and one-half feet apart each way, allowing three plants to the hill. When planted m rows, allow the same distance between the drills and about sixteen inches between the plants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stewardship of the Soil Our ambitious young commonwealth, in con junction with other states comprising the great Northwest, occupies a commanding position in the industrial and economic affairs of. This nation. Mines of gold and silver or forests primeval North Dakota does not have; but from the millions of fertile acres comprising our vast agricultural empire, we may reap a golden harvest every year that will exceed in wealth the output of all the golden placers in the western mountains. The harvest of minerals, however, can be gath ered but once. Time will not restore the precious nuggets. The forests once harvested can, at great ex pense, be renewed in the course of a century; but our harvest of domestic plants and animals recurs with every passing season to recompense the farmer for his toil and to enrich the farmer's friends. What a precious theme is harvest! The hopes, the well-being, the life of the world is fast bound up inthe magic of this single word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture, How God Made the Soil Fertile Life is a funny proposition. Fifteen years ago, I sold out a good business in Tyrone City, Pa. (few better in the and went down to the adjoining county - Huntingdon - and bought an old worn-out, run-down and abandoned farm. Windows were nailed up, roofs letting in the rain, gates going without hinges, fences had disappeared, and there had not been a farmer on it for seven years, because they could not find a man who would farm it. The land was so poor that you could not raise anything, not even a disturbance; could not raise an umbrella on it; sometimes I found difficulty in raising my voice on it. It was the most desolate-looking place in my county. My friends said I was the biggest fool on earth, and that I ought to have a guardian appointed over me; and, the day we moved down on the farm, Mrs. Seeds cried. I began to haul stable manure from Tyrone City, two and one half miles away, and I did not get many acres covered until that lead pencil (we know what it costs, but you cannot tell what it is worth) told me it was costing me $20 per acre to cover it. Could not stand that; so, as I lived in the greatest lime-stone region in the state, I thought I would lime it. But I did not get many acres cov ered until I found out it was costing me $10 to $15 per acre to lime it, and, as I did not have a huge bank account or a rich father-in law to lean up against, I made up my mind I could not stand it; so, about that time I was burning midnight oil, studying the soil. There are two things I have loved well enough to sit up until twelve o'clock at night and burn midnight oil with, - the one was Mrs. Seeds and the other was that old farm, - and I do not begrudge the time I spent with either of them.

Download or read book The Quaker Boy on the Farm and at School Classic Reprint written by Isaac Sharpless and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quaker Boy on the Farm and at School Within it wandered immense numbers of deer and not a few elk. The only animals of prey were the small wolf and the black bear, neither dangerous under ordinary conditions. The marshes abounded in waterfowl, and at certain seasons wild pigeons and other migratory birds could be captured in abundance by throwing stones into the flocks. There were turkeys, pheasants, and partridges. Shad and other sea-fish were plentiful in the river, and the little streams were amply stocked with trout. Nor were the settlers unworthy of their possessions. A few men of rank and education began a life of trade in the towns, burying their coats of arms as unworthy a Christian democracy. But the greater part were British yeomen, some landowners in their native country, the most of them renters who had loaded all their furniture, plate, clothing, and in some cases framed houses, into the little sailing vessels, and set out on the two or three months' voyage to the free land which the foresight and generosity of William Penn had secured. They had shown their capacity to suffer by lying months and years in British dungeons for a point of conscience, small perhaps, but which, because it was conscience, they had persisted in thinking was worth more to them than property or liberty or life. They had shown their fraternity by offering themselves - man for man and woman for woman - for their unfortunate brethren who were about to die for conscience' sake in the horrible pest-holes of England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Terracing of Farm Lands The subject of terracing of farm lands is one that should be more seriously considered by the farmers of North Carolina, especially those in the Piedmont section of the State where the farm lands are more subject to erosion. This is one of the methods that can be satisfactorily employed in conserving the soil and, for certain areas, no better or cheaper means can be devised. Where attempts have been made to use this method and they have not resulted as favorably as expected, it has usually been that sufficient care and attention were not given to: the location and. Con struction of the terrace. They have been either too steep, too far apart, or had too much grade on their upper sides.

Download or read book Breaking Through Concrete written by David Hanson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There’s a conviction among many sustainable agriculture advocates that the best way to move agriculture forward is to look back. The hope is to return to an exalted era in agriculture, to the kind of rural scene fit for a Rockwell painting or a Shaker Village—to food grown the old fashioned way. Breaking Through Concrete is not that, which is exactly the point. This ode to urban farming is not nostalgic (those are skyscrapers in the background, not silos), but instructive. It's a beautiful, gritty and very real portrait of the possibilities for the future of food." — Dan Barber, Executive Chef & Co-owner of Blue Hill "A road map to the future of America. A blueprint of possibilities. A book full of remarkable stories of neighborhood visionaries, stories of people who grow community in their gardens. Where others see trouble, they see food and hope." —NPR's Kitchen Sisters "Finally, a book on the full continuum of urban agriculture in America, replete with inspiring images of the people and places behind today's city-grown food. Hanson and Marty tell these stories with such admiration for their subjects you'll want to bestow hero status to city farmers." —Darrin Nordahl, author of Public Produce: The New Urban Agriculture “Breaking Through Concrete will satisfy readers hungry for a broad perspective on urban agriculture. The beautiful stories and photographs of successful programs throughout North America, combined with practical ‘how to’ guides, provides a valued resource for practitioners, advocates, scholars, and gardeners.” —Laura Lawson, author of City Bountiful: A Century of Community Gardening in America

Download or read book Marjorie Main written by Michelle Vogel and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was a slum mother, witty housekeeper, nosy neighbor, meddling maid, town gossip, and most memorably, Ma Kettle. Marjorie Main is best remembered for her portrayal of the farm mother of 15 children and wife of shiftless Pa Kettle. The characters were introduced in the 1945 film The Egg and I, and were such a hit that eight films followed. At an age when most actresses' careers are waning, Main's star was just beginning to rise. In real life, Main was as down to earth as characters she played. Her attire on the set and around her house were the same: a simple cotton house dress or jeans. She preferred riding the bus because she enjoyed interacting with regular people--the inspiration for her characters. This book chronicles Main's childhood on an Indiana farm and the inspirations that led her to the stage. After a distinguished theater career and minor film roles, at age 50 she was offered a long-term contract with premier studio MGM. Details of her acting career and personal life covered here include her marriage to a scholarly widower 26 years her senior, and her work with actor Percy Kilbride, who was the antithesis of his character, the slothful Pa Kettle. A detailed filmography includes cast and credit lists and trivia about each of Main's 85 films.
