What Hicks says:
The two or three first days OF Feb
ruary will bring reactionary storms.
About the first, tho disturbances will
be we'll developed in westerly regions,
IL will be growing warmer, with east
erly to southerly winds in the central
and eastern parts of the country,
while the extreme Northwest will
have high barometer, with the head
OF cold wave in sight on its way
from the Polar circle. This wave will
press on the rear of the storms,
reaching the Middle Atlantic by the
3D. or 4th. Meantime, the tempera.
ture VIII begin to rise in the West
the barometer will begin to drop
and the storm period, which is cen
trail on the 5th will be inaugurated.
We namo the 5th, 9th and 7th as the
days upon which the most pant of the
storm disturbances will transpire.
All storm movements overreach and
outlivc the direct or central causes
from which they spring, just as the
waves reach the shore after the steam
CT which causes them has passed by,
hence storms may begin in the far
West before the 5th and they may
not dlsapper in the extreme East un-
til after tho 7th But the dates 5th,
9th and 7th will develop the extent
and intensity of tho regular pertur-
bations, so that all parts of our con
tinental storm belts will either have
been reached by the disturbances, or
know pretty well what is approaching
before the last of the dates named.
BE prepared for cold early in the pc
Rod to the west and to eastward la-
ter, according to the progress of the
disturbances. Cold fair weather will
be the rule up to about the l1th and
18th, at which timo active secondary
storms may be expected; attended by
q marked change to warmer, bnt fol-
lowed promptly by return to sharp
cold.
The period which promises the
greatest disturbances for the month is
central on the 18th. The 10th to
18th, inclusive, was set down as dan
gerons days. "Vulcan" and Mercury
fall together on tho 17th, the new
moon is on tho 10th, while Mars and
Earth from March % will be sensi-
bly, present to inc1 ease the over nor
NAL tendency to storms. On and
about the 10th very warm wave
will develop, and storms of tropical
character will rush up from the cqua-
torlnl regions, attended by thunder,
rain and marked violence in many
places. Boreas and Sol will meet on
the field OF conflict, armed with biz.
yards on the north and possible cy-
clones on the south side. It will be
the first pitch battle for the contin-
uence of the winter and the suprema-
cy of the spring. But spring, while
permanently defeated, will havo to
fall back toward its equatorial base,
and blasts from the polar region will
rush in triumph over all the central
parts OF our land. In plain words,
sleet and snow storms, followed bv a
cold wave of marked severity will
push far southwark. High tempera.
ture, snltriness and lightning about
the danger days will admonish of
possible tempest and do not forget
that great cold will follow, especially
IN the north, reaching up to the rcac-
tlonary storm changes on or about
the 23d and Oath. Storms about
these dates, under pressure of the
growing vernal equinox, Mars equi-
nox and the moons first quarter, will
prove severe and dangerous. Keep a
calm eye on them, and be ready for
returning cold when they have pass
ed the month ends with storm con-
ditions mewing-much warmer to
the west, with falling barometer and
possible storms already developed and
starting eastward.
Pnor. Hicks WAnNING TO THE FARM
Many of our readers are hangers
of large interests, likely to be impcr-
lied during February by ico gorges
and floods resulting to such tempo
rary damming of narrow streams and
rivers. We advise that all who have
anything to risk from such possible
dangers, keep prudent eye on the
sltuHtion md neglect no reasonable
measure to forcstall consequences
that might otherwise result.
