Página 3 - With deeper red the full pomegranate glows, The branch here bends beneath the weighty pear, And verdant olives flourish round the year. The balmy spirit of the western gale / Eternal breathes on fruits untaught to fail : Each dropping pear a following pea.r supplies, On apples apples, figs on figs arise : The same mild season gives the blooms to blow, The buds to harden, and the fruits to grow ; Here order'd vines in equal ranks appear, With all th...

The opening is 1 inch wide and 50 inches long, and the distance from the top of the board to the center of the opening is exactly 4 inches on the upstream side.

Página 328 - At the end of three weeks the string is removed, and part of the top of the stock is cut back to force the bud to start. As the bud grows, the foliage of the stock is gradually removed, until the bud is able to take up the entire flow of sap. It is then left to grow, and trained, as shown in Figure No.
Página 173 - When used to determine the flow of a stream, the board is placed so as to dam the flow completely, and the sliding board is moved backward or forward until the water is all passing through the slot, the water being kept to the top of the board, or 4 inches above the center of the opening. The length of the opening measures the number of miner's inches of water flowing through. If the flow is too great to pass through the opening 1 inch wide, the opening may be made wider, the water still to be kept...

The next step is the syrup, which is made of white sugar and water. The softer the fruit the heavier the syrup required. Ordinarily about 70°, Balling's saccharometer, is about the proper weight for the syrup. The fruit is then placed in earthen pans, and covered with the syrup, where it is left to remain about a week. The sugar enters the fruit and...
Página 173 - ... hung upon the top of the first board, with a strip screwed along its upper edge, this sliding board being wide enough to cover the opening on the upstream side. In the slot, there is a closely fitting block made to slide on the beveled edges, and fastened by a screw to the sliding board. When the sliding board is moved backward or forward by means of its end, which is extended for a handle, the block moves in the slot and determines the length of the opening.
Página 438 - Prunes are usually graded before drying, and various home-made contrivances1 are employed. Some use inclined planes of adjustable slats, the grader being thus available for other fruits than prunes; the large fruit rolls along into receptacles at the bottom, while the small fruit falls through into other receptacles. Other grading devices are made with wire screens, or riddles of different sizes of mesh. Some of them work on the principle of a fanning mill, three to four riddles...
Página 41 - The area of the inclosure contains fifteen or twenty acres of ground, the whole of which was planted with fruit trees and grape-vines. There are about six hundred pear trees, and a large number of apple and peach trees, all bearing fruit in great abundance and in full perfection. The quality of the pears is excellent, but the apples and peaches are indifferent. The grapes have been gathered, as I suppose, for I saw none upon the vines, which appeared healthy and vigorous. The gardens are irrigated...

Smithsonian Institute, there is no other place in the whole territory of the United States, of the same elevation, that has so low a mean temperature; the mean Summer temperature at the Golden Gate being 56°. Another cause affecting the climate of California is in the fact that the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains reach the coast of Alaska, and bend like a great arm around its western and southern shores, thus shutting off or deflecting the polar winds that otherwise would flow down over...
