The following are DeFoe's predictions
for July: July will enter with heavy
thunder showers, clearing off cool on the
Cd. Those who desire to enjoy their fire
works had better touch them Off on Satur-
day, the Sd, for on the 9Th a cold rain
storm is likely to set in, and it will be
more comfortable by the hreside than out
doors. 1t will remain cool until the 10th;
then it will grow very hot. Farmers
should cut their hay or grain on the 9th,
10Th and l2th. About the 18Th very heavy
thunder showers will occur ever a large
portion Of the United States, with lorna
does in Michigan and Georgia. As soon
as farmers in this state get through har-
vest they should plow up heavy sod and
plant melons, for September will be eX-
eeedingly hot aud dry-just the kind Of
weather which melons require. There will
be two cold northeast storms in July,
which will seriously affect the merchants,
one between tile 9Th and the Sth, and the
other between the 18th and the 10th.
