Signs of q Cold Winter.

"We are going to have an early
fall and q long, cold, hard winter"
remarked Samuel Loyelace, an old
Jersey farmer, to several friends at
the new Washington market yester-
day. elbow do you figure that out? 90
asked one of the market men. "In
the first place." the Jerseyman re-
piled, "just try the skin of any of
your fruit. You will find your ap-
Piles and peaches and grapes, and all
your fruit, for that matter, which is
homegrown, with a thicker and
tougher skin than you have seen for
several years. That is one of the
indications. That is the way nature
takes tare of her products. Last
winter apples and other fruits were
so thin-skinned and tender that it
was hard to gather them, if you will
remember, and we had an extraordi-
nary mild winter. Corn is another
of natures sign-boards. The ears
this year are protected by thicker
and stronger husks than I have seen
before for years, and talking with
farmers up in Pennsylvania I find it
is the same way, Wheat and rye
straw are tougher, hay is wiricr, and
the seed-pods are better protected
than usual. These are old farmers
signs, and they are good ones be-
cause they don't como from any
moon-planing superstition, but from
actual observation year after year by
a class of men whose interests lie in
keeping close watch of all of natures
moods. "--Neso York Star.
