Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Massachusetts Agricultural Repository and Journal, 1827-1832, Vol. 10 This insect devours the leaves of trees and shrubs. Its duration in the perfect state is very short, each individual living only about a week, and the species entirely disap pearing in the course of a month. After the sexual Union has taken place the males perish, and the females enter the earth, to the depth of six inches, or more, making their way by means of the strong teeth which aim their anterior tibiae 3 here they deposit their eggs, amounting to nearly One hun dred in number, from every female, which are soon after abandoned, and the females ascend to the surface, and, after languishing a few days, perish also. From the eggs are hatched, by the warmth of the earth, little whitish grubs, called, in France, vars blancs, each pro vided with six legs, situated near the head, and the mouth furnished with two strong jaws. They live on the roots of plants and other vegetable substances found in the ground gradually increase in size, and change their skins once a year, about the commencement of spring, after which they approach nearer the surface in search of food; for during the winter they do not eat, but, having penetrated below the reach of frost, remain torpid until the succeeding spring. At the close of their third summer they cease eating, and penetrate about two feet deep into the earth: there by its motions from side to side the grub forms an oval cavity, which is lined by its excrements, and some glutinous fibres, in which it is changed to a pupa by casting its last larva skin. In this state the legs, antennae, and wing-cases are visible through the transparent skin which envelopes them, but appear of a yellowish white colour; and thus it remains until the approach of the ensuing spring, when the thin film which encloses its body and limbs is rent, and the per fect insect digs its way to the surface of the ground, where the superabundant moisture with which it is imbued, is ex haled, and it expands its wings and takes flight.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Massachusetts Agricultural Repository and Journal, 1819, Vol. 5: With Engravings There are other reasons for such a publication of the result of the late exhibition. It is in this country, as yet, but an experiment. To the-munificence of the government of this Commonwealth, are the Trustees, in a considerable part, indebted for their ability to offer such a number of rewards, and to so liberal an amount. A very small por tion only of the people can be witnesses of the exhibition. The Trustees, therefore, as agents for the publick, and in some degree entrusted with the application of the publick money, owe to the whole community a full and satisfactory account of the effects of these rewards. The Trustees have, it is true, published a succinct history of the claims and decisions, but there are material defects in this mode of proceeding, and it was adopted only to satisfy the mo mentary curiosity of the publick. Some persons might retain a degree of incredulity as to some particulars, such as the amount of agricultural productions for which premiums had been granted, or the times in which the several com' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Massachusetts Agricultural Journal, Vol. 7: June, 1823 The greatest benefit, however, which our farmers would derive from an attention to gardening, would be the acqui sitiou of habits of care and neatness, which would be trans ferred to their farms. If each farmer would devote two acres to a garden, and to finer fruits, he would be compelled to be more careful in trimming his trees, in sowing his seeds, in keeping them free from weeds. The habits thus formed would extend. Throughout his estate. We see this effect in farmers near the great towns; they learn to be their own grafters, and pruners, and their care of their general culture keeps pace. With their progress in gardening.

Good cider inight be furnished at half the expense of strong maltdiquors; provided apple orchards were more extensively cultivated, and the fruits intended for cider properly selected. We have a great deal of bad cider, because sound and unsound apples are ground together, and no regard is paid to the fermentation, except to give it vent. No one can suppose the'juice of rotten apples capable of be coming cider. But in whatever degree they are introduced, in the same degree the liquor must be debased. To make the finest cider, sound apples only should be used. But I must not enter into the minute particulars of the process of making and managing cider-it would not comport with the occasion, nor be practicable within the limits to which this discourse must be confined. I will barely suggest a few things which involve some principles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Open Access written by Peter Suber and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise introduction to the basics of open access, describing what it is (and isn't) and showing that it is easy, fast, inexpensive, legal, and beneficial. The Internet lets us share perfect copies of our work with a worldwide audience at virtually no cost. We take advantage of this revolutionary opportunity when we make our work “open access”: digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Open access is made possible by the Internet and copyright-holder consent, and many authors, musicians, filmmakers, and other creators who depend on royalties are understandably unwilling to give their consent. But for 350 years, scholars have written peer-reviewed journal articles for impact, not for money, and are free to consent to open access without losing revenue. In this concise introduction, Peter Suber tells us what open access is and isn't, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery to the mainstream, and what its future may hold. Distilling a decade of Suber's influential writing and thinking about open access, this is the indispensable book on the subject for researchers, librarians, administrators, funders, publishers, and policy makers.

Book excerpt: In the past decade there has been an intense growth in the number of library publishing services supporting faculty and students. Unified by a commitment to both access and service, library publishing programs have grown from an early focus on backlist digitization to encompass publication of student works, textbooks, research data, as well as books and journals. This growing engagement with publishing is a natural extension of the academic library's commitment to support the creation of and access to scholarship. This volume includes chapters by some of the most talented thinkers in this area of librarianship, exploring topics such as the economics of publishing and the challenges of collaboration, and surveying the service landscape for publishing in support of a variety of formats and methods.0.
Download or read book Information and the Modern Corporation written by James W. Cortada and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to information as the transformative tool of modern business. While we have been preoccupied with the latest i-gadget from Apple and with Google's ongoing expansion, we may have missed something: the fundamental transformation of whole firms and industries into giant information-processing machines. Today, more than eighty percent of workers collect and analyze information (often in digital form) in the course of doing their jobs. This book offers a guide to the role of information in modern business, mapping the use of information within work processes and tracing flows of information across supply-chain management, product development, customer relations, and sales. The emphasis is on information itself, not on information technology. Information, overshadowed for a while by the glamour and novelty of IT, is the fundamental component of the modern corporation. In Information and the Modern Corporation, longtime IBM manager and consultant James Cortada clarifies the differences among data, facts, information, and knowledge and describes how the art of analytics has all but eliminated decision making based on gut feeling, replacing it with fact-based decisions. He describes the working style of “road warriors,” whose offices are anywhere their laptops and cell phones are and whose deep knowledge of a given topic becomes their medium of exchange. Information is the core of the modern enterprise, and the use of information defines the activities of a firm. This essential guide shows managers and employees better ways to leverage information—by design and not by accident.
