1916.

But few persons are now living who recol-
lect the eventful year of lSl6-the year that
had no summer and whose like has never
since been known. To the present genera.
ton short sketch of it may be of interest
With the exception of very few days, Jan.
uary and February were mild and pleasant,
and but little fire was needed for comfort
March was cold and clustering the first part
of the month, the latter part was quite mild
April came in warm but soon changed to
colder weather, with snow and ice. May
came in with frost and ice half an inch in
thickness. Corn was killed and replanted
only to be killed again. In June there was
frost and ice and snow fell several inches in
depth in Vermont and Maine. July showed
no improvement in the prospect. On the
9TH ice formed as thick as window class in
all the New England States. August was
wet. cold and uncomfortable, ice in many
places half an inch thick. The first half
of September was very mild and pleasant,
the latter part of the month was cold and
frosty. October was very cold with frost and
ice through the month. November was cold
and clustering. and snow fell sufficient to
make good sleighing. December was a most
welcome change, and the weather was mild
and pleasant through the month. The above
is but brief, imperfect sketch of the weather
of that most remarkable year. Frost and ice
formed every month. But very little corn
ripened in New England, and corn raised in
1915 was in demand for seed in the following
spring, at from four to five dollars per BUSH
ell. The loss of this crop was a more serious
calamity at that time than it would be at the
present, as it was then more extensively used
as an article of food. In addition to this loss
was the trouble and anxiety it occasoned
throughout the country which was then but
just recovering from a ruinous three years
war with England.-Ereter Nercs Letter.

r The organ Of the British grain trade
states that the drouth this year in Eng
land has bean the most severe and pro-
longed since 1863. But SO opposite are
the climatic conditions Of England and
the United States, that drouth, which
in this country is destructive to field
crops, may be looked upon ordinarily il
England in the light Of . blessing. In
one instance an excess Of moisture is
normal, and in the other an excess Of
dryness. Ia 1868, therefore, the Eng
lish wheat crop was the largest in TWEEN
ty years. The authority from which
we quote, however, shows that the
drouth Of 1884 has been accompanied
by q temperature extraordinarily low,
while that Of 1868 was abnormally high.
The crop outlook for 1884 is therefore
less favorable. #55 81 "a 5s s4 #st,
