Tillage. AS the good or bad tillage of any country must depend in a great measure upon the persons employed in ploughing, it behoves the farmer to be extremely nice in the choice of his ploughmen, and to be himself completely skilled, both in the theory and practice of the operation, to know the purposes intended to be produced thereby, and to teach them, if possible, to his men. I shall here copy, from Donaldson's Agriculture, his opinion on the disferent effects to be produced by the action of the plough. "Ploughing serves the following purposes. It in"creases the food of plants, enlarges their pasture, "prepares the vegetable food for entering their roots, "destroys weeds, and removes wetness. "Ploughing increases the food of plants, by open"ing the soil to receive the vegetable food from the "air, and by enlarging the surface, thereby exposing "a greater / "a greater quantity of soil to its influence. Plough"ing enlarges the pasture of plants, by opening the "foil if too solid, and making it firm if too light. *' Ploughing prepares the vegetable food for entering "the roots of plants, by reducing vegetables to a state "of corruption, and dissolving oils. Ploughing de"stroys weeds, by making their feeds vegetate, and "then tearing up their young plants, and by exposing "their roots to the drought. Ploughing removes wet"ness, by laying up land in proper ridges. It may be said, therefore, that ploughing is one of the most ** important operations in agriculture, and that the *' greatest care must be therefore taken in the per formance of it." Next to a compleat knowledge of the theory and practice of ploughing, the farmer should be intimately acquainted with the propensities and...

Download or read book Feast and Famine written by Leslie Clarkson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-11-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of food and famine in Ireland from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century. It looks at what people ate and drank, and how this changed over time. The authors explore the economic and social forces which lay behind these changes as well as the more personal motives of taste, preference, and acceptability. They analyze the reasons why the potato became a major component of the diet for so many people during the eighteenth century as well as the diets of the middling and upper classes. This is not, however, simply a social history of food but it is a nutritional one as well, and the authors go on to explore the connection between eating, health, and disease. They look at the relationship between the supply of food and the growth of the population and then finally, and unavoidably in any history of the Irish and food, the issue of famine, examining first its likelihood and then its dreadful reality when it actually occurred.

Book excerpt: McManus (Education, Trinity College Dublin) examines the informal and often illegal schools where poor Irish, mostly rural, learned to read and were introduced to tenets of Irish nationalism.
