Pagina 172 - ... presented by nature to man for the production of food and raw materials; but, to make the resemblance more just, as far as they admit of comparison, we should consider the soil as a present to man of a great number of machines, all susceptible of continued improvement by the application of capital to them, but yet of very different original qualities and powers.
Pagina 279 - Produce. — The number of cows kept for the purposes of a cheese dairy is seldom less than 8 or 10, or more than 70 or 80 ; and is of course regulated by the size of the farms — these average about 90 or 100 statute acres, upon each of which about 15 or 18 cows are kept.

As the price of raw produce continues to rise, these inferior machines are successively called into action ; and as the price of raw produce continues to fall, they arc successively thrown out of action.
Pagina 172 - ... When a machine in manufactures is invented which will produce more finished work with less labor and capital than before, if there be no patent, or as soon as the patent is over, a sufficient number of such machines may be made to supply the whole demand, and to supersede entirely the use of all the old machinery.

Pagina 44 - Now, although the quantity of humus in a soil may be increased to a certain degree by an artificial cultivation, still, in spite of this, there cannot be the smallest doubt that a soil must gradually lose those of its constituents which are removed in the seeds, roots, and leaves of the plants raised upon it.
