Book Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the N. Y. State Agricultural Society, 1855, Vol. 15: With an Abstract of the Proceedings of the County Agricultural Societies The application of meteorological science to the explana tion of its influences upon vegetable and animal life, and the strict dependance of the husbandman upon the genial return of the seasons, and auspicious succession of cold and heat, of sunshine and Showers, for the fulfilment of his hopes, has long been recognized, and every discovery in the laws which govern our climate is to him an important acquisition. Although we may not be able to modify, or in the slightest degree vary these changes, yet by a careful comparison of observations, made at many stations, through long periods, we may arrive at a knowledge of this probable succession in the future; be able, in some instances, to foretel disastrous changes in time to prepare for them, and so to plan our Operations as to secure the greatest advantages attainable.
