sets Ploughman gives the following signs
for the benefit Of farmers during hayi'g time.
II is rather late to copy now, but If farmers
want them they can save them:
One rule Of long standing is. that If it rains
to-day rtt'e the sun shines, it will rain TO-
morrow. The reason seems to be that it
shows an unsettled state of the weather Also
an easterl y wind brings rain. because it comes
from the ocean. \ southeast wind will sure
ly bring rain in few hours, because We are
more near to the sea in that direction. A
ncr'hwester is not a steady wind 10 July. 1t
Is As likely to veer to the east as to the west,
and then YOU will be likely to have some
rain. When the sun rises clear and soon
goes into cloud, be pretty sure of rain in
the course of the day. When it sets clear
and the wind is westerly. you may expect
fair weather. When the wind is south in
TIE morning. watch the pointer closely. If
it turns ea>terly. Sc. your men to anything
rather than cutting down grass. If westerly
let them be moving till dinner time. A
southwest wind is the one to be relied on ov
ali hay makers.
AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS IN FRANCE
The Emperor OF the French does some
wise things. He has had much to do in get
ting up very extensive Agricultural Ex-
hlbIton, which was closed ir June lie has
bought him large farm, and has purchased
some OF the exec llent stock to which prizes
have been awarded at the recent exhibition.
Another wise thing done by the Emperor, IS
his recommendation of large appropriation
Of public money to aid and encourage drain
ing throughout; France.

The wanting half il proposes to supply by CO.

Collision on wniirond. scn,icrci s,.,m,c.,


Polish immigrant from War-lw "A watchm,-
kcr by profession, now residing in this CITY ..John
kuIIhski, obtained lutelv, the 9th of September.
patent for an invention, which. rs fur n. may
be Judged from the inspection Of the model and
explanations farms lad by u competent iudgr in
such matters, bids fair to strike al thu very root
of the frghtful disasters now 50 frequent on rail
roads.
The Invention consists of connecting to the
front Of railroad trains series of shields in such
way that in case of a collision the momentum
impaired to the first shield passes successiyclv
from one shield 10 the other in nm amount of time
SUFFICIENTLY long for the said momentum to Toe
spent before II reaches tho train itself
The leading feature in the arrangement of
these shields Is the intrrpo-ition between them
of resisances OF two distinct characters, viz: RIG.
I'd and yielding so combined with series of lock.
and slides in each of the shields TINT, while ont
OF collision, all the shields are thereby kept at
certain distances from each other; and the col
lis'on having taken place, the momentum Impair
ted To the first shield Is caused to unlock the RIG
I'd resistances.and then TO overcome the yielding
resstances nterposed between the shields sue
cessiyely and alternately. one after the other
and thusto be spent gradually on tho harmless
operation of throwing the shields together before
1t reaches the train. As the yielding resisanccs
are kept, rs 1t were, latent in the apparatus and
divisions ot time at the rate, as one bar after an
other forming the rigid resstances is unlocked.
and the yielding resistances permitted thereby T.,
oppose their elasticity. to break the momentum
of tho shock, the most Tremendous shock which
otherwise would crush IA train Ia atoms, or thu ow
1t Oft the track, not only be met by II compar-
aivey smaller resistance, but as u considerable
time must be spent in the progress of the shock
from one shield to another and as the resistance
of the springs coming into play increases in
the inverse ratio as tie momentum of tho
shock is spent on lis progress. no throwing
oil otthe track can be unprecedented; and eiicien-
cy given to break the most extraordinary mo.
