GBAn WITHOUT SUMMER.--The several
cold spells which have occurred during the
present month in this ection, and throughout
aim ost the entire country as well recalls instan-
ces on record, in which even the seasons seem
to have lost their charact eristic features. a re-
mnrkablc case of this kind is that of the year
1916, which has been called "the year without
Summer" The following summary of the
weather of that year is given by correspondent
in recent issue Of the Boston CongrcgatioRdttst:
-fJauuary and February were cold; March was
cold April began warm but ended in snow and
ice. Ice formed an inch thick in May. and
fields were planted over and o7er again till it
was too late to repant. June was the coldest
> ever known in this latitude; frost and ice were
common. Almost every green thing was killed ;
fruit nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to tho
depth of ten inches in Vermont seven in Maine
three in the interior of New York, and also in
Massachusetts. There were n few warm days
II was called n dry season. But little rain fell
The wind blew steadily from the North, cold and
fierce. Mothers knit extra socks ami mittcns
for their children in the Spring, and wood piles,
that usually disappeared during the warm spell
in front the houses, were speedily built up
again. Planting aud shivering were done to-
gether, and the farmers who worked out their
taxes on the country roads wore overcoats and
mttcns. On the 18th Of June heavy snow
fell in New England The cold was intense. y
farmer who had n large field of corn in Tcwks
bury built fires around it at nigh to ward off the
frost many an evening he and his ncghbors
took turns watching them. lie was rewarded
with the only crop of corn in the ncighborhood
Considerable damage was done in New Orleans
in consequence Oft the rapil rise of the Misss-
siGP ysE3 ry3 e96s s % %HsrG snSr!ai. ed shat the
land oil pcnics wer4 strictly prohibited. July
was accompanied with frost and ice. Indian
corn nearly all destroyed some favorably
situated fields escaped. August was more
cherries, if possible, than the summer months
which preceded it. Ice was formed half an inch
in thickness. Indian corn was so frozen that
the greater part WAS cut down and dried for
fodder. Almost every green thing was destroy
ell in this country and in Europe. On the 3Oth
snow fell at Barnet, forty miles from London.
Very little corn ripcnCd in New England and in
the Middle States. Farmers supplied themselves
from corn pro duccd in 1915 for seed in the
Spring of 1917 1t sold at from 81 to So per
bushel. Septcmber furnished about two weeks
of the pleasant weather of the scasOn but in
the latter part of the month ice formed an inch
thick. October had more than its share Of cold
weather. November was cold and snowy.
December was comfortable, and The winter fol-
lowing was mild. Very little vegetation was
naturcd in the Eastern and middle States.
The suns rays seemed to be destitute of heat
during the Summer nll nature was clad in
sable hue, and men exhibited no little anxiety
concerning the future Of this life"

A Nibble of Salt.

If horses, cattle, and sheep could have
salt for them to lick or nibble at all times
as they desired, while in the stable, yard
or pasture, they would escape various
diseases and be more thrifty and useful
than when deprived of it, or oven given
irregularly. Swine and poultry are bet
ter for having little pure brine mixed
up with their food. Since we have made
this regular practice, we have never
lost an animal from disease of any kind,
and only few fowls, and these latter
would not have become sick, had they
not unfortunately got at an uncovered
slnk-hole, where they picked out bits of
decomposing bread and vegetables, a
small quantity of which had got there
from the dishwater. The rock salt that
comes in large Jumps and may be bought
