Weather Hints for Farmers.

The following extracts from an English
work, Admiral FItzroy's Manual of practi-
cal Meteorology, may induce some OF our
wcatherwise readers to give Us some hints
on the same subject, applicable to this
climate.
Weather, clear or cloudy, a rosy sky at
sunset presages fine weather; a sickly
looking, greenish hue, wind and rain; .
dark (or Tudian) red, rain; red sky in
the morning, bad weather or much wind
! (perhaps rain); a gray sky in the morn>
ing, fine weather; IA high dawn, wind q
low dawn. fair weather. Soft looking or
delicate clouds foretell fine weather, with
moderate or light breezes; HAIR edged.
oily looking clounds, wind. A dark,
gloomy, blue sky is windy, but bright,
blue sky indicates fine weather. General
ly the softer clouds look the less wind
(but perhaps more rainy may be expected
and the harder, more greasy, rolled,
tufted or ragged, the stronger the coming
/ wind will prove. Also, a bright yellow
sky at sunnset presages wind; a pale yel-
low or other tints, the coming weather
,.iay be foretold very nearly indeed, if
aided by instruments, almost exactly.
Small, inky looking clouds foretell rain,
light scud clouds, driving across heavy
masses, show wind and rain, but if alone,
may Indicate wind only. High upper
clouds crossing the sun, moon, or star, i'll
a direction different from that Of the low
er clouds, or the wind then felt below,
foretell change of wind toward their di--
rection. After fine, clear weather, the Grst:
signs in the sky of a coming change are
usually light streaks, curls, whisps, or mot
tied patches of white distant clouds, which
increase. and are followed by a murky
vapor that grows into cloudiness. This
appearance, more or less oily and watery,
as wind or rain will prevail, is an in falli-.
ble sign. Usually, the higher and more
distant such clouds seem to be, tho
more gradual but general, the coming.

tints or colors, with soft underlined forms
of clouds, indicate and accompany fine
weather; but unusual and saudy hues,

The Draft,

The lraft commenced in Pittsburs on
Wednesday, and is now going on In Bottom.
IN some of the wards of the latter city,
one man out of three will be required--
The ratio in Pittsburg is about one in five.
The conscription will doubtless be carried
through in all the States forthwith. The
aggregate Of men required is 10000, but
about 10000 will be drawn to provide for
exemptions and commutation The ratios
above mentioned will not therefore be
quite as large in reality as they appear to
be.
Within the next fortnight the draft will
be enforced in all the loyal States. The
number apportIoned to each State, it is be-

Cloves are produced by tree which is
a native of the Mulucca Islands, and We're
like nutmegs long time ago u-der the
control of the Dutch Government, who,
for many years, would not allow the trees

the French, clow, Il nail-that being the
name which the French call them on ac-
count of their resemblance to a little nail.
They contain good deal OF volatile Oil,
upon which their value depends. This
oil is sometimes extracted in part, and the
cloves afterwards sold. These can be told
by their lighter color, and by having the
button or rounded portion broken OIL
Cloves readily absorb a considerable
amount of moisture, and it is the custom
