j, edicting Storms.

In the course Of tho weather oh,
sorvations so far, only one generel,
always reliable, law of storms has
bocn discovered. It is called Bal.
lots law, and is rs follows: "The
wind always flows from the place of
highest pressure to that of lowest
This law has been found to be ab
solute i'll every case.
In tho winter reports of the
United States Service, tho coming
Of storms is generally predicted
with singular accuracy, it's ratio of
progress and it's rain or SHOW area
mapped out in advance for as much
as three days in some casos. The
method of prediction is by no means
complicated, depending on Ballots
law andits observed dcorolJary that the
rain area is to be found in the area
of low barometer, aud to be includ-
ed by the lines of equal barometer,
which defines the edgc of high
barometer area.
Professor Blasius Of Hanover in his
work on storms, lays down tho
following laws:
l. All storms are tho result of
opposing current, Of air, ono cold,
tho other warm or ono polar, the
other equatorial.
2. Winter storms are produced by
tho warm equatorial current moving
north, and climbing over tho cold
polar current, They all come from
tho Southern semi circle of the
sky.
3. Summer storms arc produced
by tho cold polar current moving
South, pushing the warm equatorial
current hoforo it. They come from
the Northern scmi circle.
4. The place of meeting of the
two currents is the area of calm and
Of tho low barometer. Tie oppos.
ing currents ncutraliZo each other,
produce a calm, heat the air by
friction, and perhaps electricity; and
tho barometer falls.
s. The region Of high barometer
is that Of either current before it
meets opposition. Tho region OF
highest barometer. is that of the
c1ldcst current, because the air is
heavier than that Of the warm cur
rent, and eXects moro pressure.
6. Tho gradient is tho slope Of
one current over the other. In
winter it is vory gradual, because
tho warm current is the aggressor
and slopes fur ovor tho cold cold
one. In summer it is sleeper be-
cause the cold current banks up
against the warm one and cannot
climb ovcr it from its greater
woight. The rain area is under tho
slope.

The address Of Hon. l. NJ. Westfall Of
Olmsted county, upon Devon cattle, at
tracted great deal Of attention; it was

letter which we publish in another col
umn from one Of our neighbors, Charles
Lie Vesconte, upon Jersey cattle. Mr..
LIE Vieconte is well-to-do farmer, ma

with the subject about which he writes.
The Jersey COW is akin to the Alder

for the latter is very small island, four
miles long by one and quarter miles
wide, containing less than 5000 inhabi.
tants and producing probably not to ex.
ceed fifty young cattle per year; while
Jersey is much larger and contains about
$4,000 inhabitants.
We invite correspondence upon tht
subject. Why not club together your
funds and send Mr.. Lie Vesconte to Jer
sey to import lot Of the Jersey cattle
The price would be from 500 to $2O'
each, and the freight $50 to 800 more

Grange is to furnish each male member

sometime in December. First, second

ought to prove a fine success. In this
way few hours work may be made t.
produce surprising results---results which
if secured for an entire crop, would double
its yield. We recently learned Of clut
