Σελίδα 121 - Let Fate do her worst ; there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy ; Which come in the night-time of sorrow and care, And bring back the features that joy used to wear. Long, long be my heart with such memories filled ! Like the vase, in which roses have once been distilled — You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will. But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
Σελίδα 162 - Can it be that the Constitution of the United States secures to any one the privilege of manufacturing and selling an article of food in such manner as to induce the mass of people to believe that they are buying something which, in fact, is wholly different from that which is offered for sale? Does the freedom of commerce among the States demand a recognition of the right to practice a deception upon the public in the sale of any articles, even those that may have become the subject of trade in...
Σελίδα 202 - GLUTEN MEALS AND FEEDS. Gluten meals and gluten feeds are by-products left in the manufacture of starch and glucose from Indian corn. Corn consists largely of starch. The waste product from the manufacture of starch or sugar is relatively much richer in oil and protein than corn.
Σελίδα 100 - The individual who causes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before, is held in highest emulation as a benefactor of his race.
Σελίδα 19 - ... to crowd together under the hover because they are cold. They should flatten out separately, when young, and a little later, lie with their heads just at the edge of the fringe of the hover. Under no condition are they allowed to huddle outside of the brooder. They huddle because they are cold, and they should be put under the hover to get warm, until they learn to do so of their own accord. Neither are they allowed to stay under the hover too much, but are forced out into the cooler air where...
Σελίδα 138 - ... shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof be subject to a fine of not exceeding one thousand dollars, to be recovered by the prosecuting attorney of the county, in the name of the people of this state, and to be paid into the township or city treasury, as the case may be.
Σελίδα 17 - The building is boarded, papered and shingled all over. A door, 2 feet wide is in the center of the front and a 6 light, sliding window is on each side of it. A small slide is put in the door, near the top, by which ventilation may be obtained early in the season, before the windows can be kept open. Since shingles on the walls near the bottom are liable to be torn off in moving the houses, double boarding on the walls would be preferable. Two brooders are placed in each of these houses and 50 to...
Σελίδα 28 - ... closely tacked on. This door, or curtain, is hinged at the top and swings in and up to the roof when open.
Σελίδα 64 - I will not dwell upon ragouts or roasts, Albeit all human history attests, That happiness for Man — the hungry sinner ! — Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner.
Σελίδα 111 - The caterpillars in the spring. Early in the spring the young caterpillars emerge from their winter nests and feed upon the opening leaf buds. Until about the middle of June they feed greedily upon the leaves, completely stripping the trees where they are numerous. When full grown the caterpillars are about one and one-half inches long. They are dark brown with a sprinkling of orange. Long fine reddish-brown hairs cover the body, and a row of conspicuous white hairs runs along each side. Like the...
