Herschel's "Weather Table for Foretelling the "Weather, (^rt
through all the Ijunations of each Year, Forever. 4
This table and the accompanying remarks are tlie result f
of many years' actual observation, the whole being con- *'
Btructed on a due consideration of the attraction of the suu
and moon, in their several positions respecting the earth, ^"^
and will by simple inspection, show the observer what kind
of weather will most probably follow the entrance of the
moon into any of its quarters, and tl*at so near the truth,
as to be seldom or never found to fail.

10 and midnight 'Fair IFair and frosty.
Observa(io7is.—-l. The nearer the time of the moon's change
first quarter, full and last quarter, are to midnight, the
fairer will the weather be during the seven days following.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at
night till two next morning.
3. The nearer to midday or noon, the phases of the moon
happens, the more foul or wet weather may be expected
during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the
forenoon to two in the afternoon. These observations refer
principally to the summer, though they affect spring and
autumn nearly in the same ratio.
5. The moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter,
happening during six of the afternoon hours, i. c, from four
to ten, may be followed by fair weather ; but this is mostly
dependent on the wind, as is noted in the table.
6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes,
is more uncertain in the latter part of autumn, the whole of
winter, and the beginning of spring, yet in the main, the
above observations will apply to those periods also,
7. To prognosticate correctly, especially in those cases
where the wind is concerned, the observer should be within
sight of a go(f^ vane, when the four cardinal points of the
heavens are correctly placed.

Nrwrnbcr. — Endeavor to avoid having your garden products frozen fast
in the ground; begin in goofi»parnest to secure tliem. Cabbage may be
taken up and laid in rows against a ridge, so as to form a square, compact,
close-growing ]v d, the roots and stems being buried up to the lower le?ives
in Cabbages. The beds may then be oovenMl with stiaw, or a temporary
shed erected over them.
The pleasantest things in the world are pl.-a.^ant thoughts, and the great-
est art in life is to have as many of them as possible.
