THE LOCAL FoRECAsTERs.

Professor Mark w. Harrington, who
became Chief of the Weather Depart
ment under the Agricultural Depart
is confident that the new system will
be gratifying success, and admits
that local projectors can, with the aid
of weather maps, make predictions
which surpass in justification those
made from Washington. This must
necessarily be the case if the local
fOrecaster has at his disposal all the in
formation available for the general
fOrecaster. The local observer has a
narrower field to predict for, and has
the advantage of any local signs which
are not involved in the observations
made at Washington.
Congress has made provision for 20
fOTecasters, and will further increase
the capacity if necessity demands it.
The territory of the entire country
will be equally divided among
these observers, the one stationed in
Philadelphia predicting for Eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware.
The climates of the various states
are to receive especial study. 1t is the
average weather or climate which de-
termines the agricultural capacity Oi
any region. 1t is necessary, therefore
for farmer to understand the climat.
ic conditions under which he is labor.
ing before he can hope for success.

eutting his food when he reigned SUI
preme in the dense forest that covered
this section a hundred and tfty years

Wildrick homestead, between GREEN'S
Pond aud Townsbury. 1t is about eight
inches in length and from two 10 three

A pumping engine u boiler have
been placed in the Matching mouse, and a
pipe has been laid from the house to the
river, SO that water for the Jars may be
taken directly from the river instead Of
from the city reservoir, the latter having
been found too cold for matching purposes.
The eggs taken on Thursday are the first
that have been found sufficiently ripe for
patching. but the probability Is that the
supply will now increase, so that in a few
days The jars will all be filled.
