51. oldal - His thermometers were sunk in the soil only to the depth of -f^ of an inch. In that sunny clime he found the mean heat of soil, at that depth, to be at noon, for six successive months, 131°. If that were his mean heat for six months, we cannot doubt that it is frequently obtained as an extreme heat in the hottest portion of our year in England.

Thorough draining not only diminishes the cost of ploughing, but it renders it possible to grow great crops of roots — of mangold-wurzel from thirty to thirty-five tons an acre, and of turnips from twenty to twenty-five tons. Ten times more live stock is thus fed on the land than it maintained before. The corn crop follows the roots in due course without further manuring, and is made certain in addition, even in wet seasons. The well-shaped modern plough saves in...

Retentive soils never can be so warm as porous, for a simple reason. Every one knows, or may know, that if...
50. oldal - To ascertain the mean heat of the air at the surface of the earth over any extended space, and for a period of eight or nine months, is no simple operation. More elements enter into such a calculation than we have space or ability to enumerate ; but we know certainly that, for seven months in the year, air, at the surface of the ground, is seldom lower than 48°, never much lower, and only for short periods ; whereas, at...
