METEOROLOGICAL.
Weather Summary for the Month
lust Ended.
The Heaviest Rain Recorded for
Seven Years.
But Four Frosts and Twenty-one
Clear Days.

The monthly meteorological summary
of Cheyenne station for September has
been compiled and was issued yesterday
by Observer L. B. Olney. 1t evidences
that about the bes: weather in the shop
was furnished the capital for the past
thirty days. For this all are truly thank
tul and duly appreciative, more particu-
larry for the prime quality so judiciously
distributed during fair week.
The mean temperature for the month
was 55. 80; high est, S7.6o, on the 9th inst. ;
lowest, 30.3 on the 27th. The greatest
daily range was 40. 80; least range, 1912;
mean daily range, 80. 90. The mean tenn
p%erature was less than in any September
since 1888, when it was precisely the
same.
The mean daily dew point was BOG,
and mean daily relative humidity 45.5.
To the northwest was the prevailing
direction of the wind. The total move
ment was $500 miles. The extreme
velocity was 80 miles per hour, when the
wind moved to the south, the Sd inst.
The total rainfall for the month was
LEG inches, much greater than in any
corresponding month for seven years. In
September, 1885, the total precipitation
was but SO hu%ndredths inches, but it has
steadily increased for the past three years.
On five days last month more than oil
inches rain fell.
During the month there were 81 clear,
3 fair and only 6 cloudy days. This tells
what the weather was IN a nutshell.
But four frosts were recorded. These
occurred on the 18th, Goth, 9th and
29th insts.
A few of the October weather proverbs,
collected and classified by the department
at Washington, are appended:
Much rain in October, much wind in
December.
If October brings heavy frosts and
winds, then will January and February
be mild.
When it freezes and SHOWS in October,
cohuoiJ VIII DiibS hlIu htdIleT, DuI IL IL
is laundering and heat lightning, the
winter will resemble April in temper.
Warm October, cold February.
As the weather in October, so it will be
in the next March.
If the first snow falls on moist, soft
earth 1t indicates a small harvest; but if
upon hard, frozen soil, a good harvest.
"A good October and a good blast; SO
blow the hog acorn and the mast"
The experience of observers at the
Cheyenne station has warranted the state
ment that transforms here are preceded by
a low barometer from twenty. four to forty
eight hours before their arrival, with
wind from the southeast, east, northeast
and north.
Snowstorms strike the station from the
southwest, northwest or north, all storms
of magnitude coming from the latter
direction.

When the committee on speakers for
the Farmers Institute made up their
list, fhey neglected TO call upon the
HERALD's All-around for a paper. He
is the lucky possessor of smouldcring
volcano of information about farming,
and the institute can scarcely realize
whatit has missed. Forinstance, he could
have written of the scenes Of his youth
in paper entitled, What know about
turning the grindstone with two healthy
hired men holding on scythes or axes,
while they disgrace the atmosphere with
profane and sarcastic remarks about
the deliberate motion Of the stone"
And he could have brought the paper
to triumphant finale by saying that in
these days of progressive farming the
work can be done as we'll with a five
hundred dollar engine and a man to run
it. The one-idea farmer seems to have
just now vanished under cloud of con-
tempt; but the omnibus driver must
own to having been in that mood once
himself. He was making some scientific
experiments with skunk which he
had cornered under the barn-was going
to dehorn it, or something-and single
idea struck him after he had crawled
under the barn that he had best crawl
out again; but the faithful old farm
dog had come in after him, and what
with getting the Egyptian darkness and
the awful odor and the notion that he
must fight all mixed up together, the
dog got grab in on the east end of
pair Of pants going west instead of
the skunk, so that the experimenter
couldn't even put that one idea into
execution, for time, at least. There
are many other farm experiences that
might 60 to make up excellent papers, but
we shall not give them away without
