what for Way and yunes
From Hicks, Word and Works.

All who studied our "key to the
planetary equinoxes" will recall our
special comment on the character
istlcs of Mars disturbance. They
were to. the effect that whatever met.
eoroligic state or condition exists at
the entrance of such periods, that
state is likely to be prolonged by the
Mars equinox. The 4th of May being
the day when Mars passes the center
of his period, and general preciplta>
tions having occurred about the time
of this writing, April l7th, indicate to
our mind that ample rains will cons
tinue, perhaps over much as we said
IN late number, up to and into June.
the effect of Mars, or what may
reasonably be expected to result
from his present perturbation
through May will be indicated by
the phenomena which will happen
during the first storm period in May,
from the first to sixth. Whatever
happens at that time is likely to be
tho ruling haracteristies for much
of the month. If 1t should be much
rain, and indications seem to point
that way, generally a wet month
will most likely follow. And by the
time Mars shall haye lost his grip
on the mechine, the approaching
eqninox of Venus, which is central
on June 18th, will begin to be felt.
So that at least a sufflciency,. if
not surfeit Of moisture may be
looked for until past the solstice
storms in June. But after that we
counsel caution. Take all possible
advantage of such probabilities.
Make the best uses of rains up to
the middle of June, and prepare tor
a scarcity of the same for the re-
mainder of the season. Such are
our convictions Of the prospects in
store for US in the months immediate
ly before us, and we offer them in
this tlme y way, praying, that If
they should prove true, all our read>
ers may profit by them. See that
your ponds and cisterns are all in
order. A thousand things will sug-
gest themselves to the practically !
inclined.
