 JULY TEMPERATURE AND RAIN.
 As no writer has ever lived whose productions have been understood alike by all who have read them frequent ex- ..anations are necessary In order that Q fair proportion of my readers may give right construction to my weather fore casts.
 There is a broken chord somewhere, that by sympathetic vibrations or other wise, incapacitates the Euglish-I would rather say United States-language for being understood even when written in the plainest newspaper or magazine sentences.
 In my long range forecasts of temper ature and rain or drouth 1t IS not possl ble to be exact in all particulars but 1 try to make the forecasts practical. My weather tables enthusiastically indicate the general characteristics of the crop and the winter seasons but 1t IS very difficult to determine exactly when the change from a drouth to excessive rains or from long heated term to long low tem perature will occur.
 But l can as my readers well know, give fair warning of drouth, as l did In reference to tue April and May dro2th of this year and of the breaking up of the drUuth as 1 did in reference to June for east of the Mississippi.
 If readers will note carefully all these f Al % -ats .liN- correct although drouth predicted for one month may run over little into the following month and the same mey occur as to temperatures.
 There IS no means of knowing the future of the weather except by the records of past weather ana as these records are often very deficient our weather rules cannot always be perfect.
 I have just completed my third cal culatlon for July and the following are the results:
 East of the Alleghanies and north of Washington City the temperature Will be about and the rainfall above nor nal.
 The Ohio Valley, Tennessee and the lower lakes will average much cooler than usual and the rainfall will be above the average.
 The southeastern states will have average temperature and drouth.
 The outhwest-includlng Texas, western Louisiana and Oklahoma-wlii have average temperature and rain.
 The upper Mississippi valley and upper lakes, including the country north, northeast and northwest of St. Louis, will average cooler than usual and therein a deficiency of ram will occur.
 In the Missouri and Red River of the North valleys temperature will average below and rainfall a0out normal.
 On the north Pacific slope the tenn perature will be about and rainfall be- low normal.
 On soath Pacific slope temperature will be above and rain below normal.
 In the west of Rockies country tenn perature and rainfall will be about nor maj.
 Within the districts mentioned above the rainfall will vary in smaller districts and I have only tried to give the general averages.
 WINTER OF 1895 6.
 In the following forecasts of the win ter the coldest and warmest periods are not considered. One half of month may be mode rately warm and the other half extremely cold in which case the month would be set down as cold be- cause it's average would be below the normal.
 In speaking of winter as mild or as cold four months, December, January. February and March, are usually con sidered and it is the last parS or the win ter that most affects animal and vegeta- ble lifa and the general welfare and pecuniary interests of man.
 To know whether the coming winter will be a warm or cold one would make or save millions of dollars to our people and while the winter may not, in all re- spects and in all places, be as l have calculated 1 will say with the utmost confidence that to adopt the following forecasts as correct will result in a very large balance on the eide of profit for inc people of tbe United States.
 The winter of 1S95-6 will be long, cold "hard" winter over the whole ot the United States. The term "hard" as spplied to winter seasons IS probably of western orIgion and has reference to freouent and sudden changes that are very severe en unsheltered animals. December 1895, January, March and part of February will average cold and a general thaw will occur In February. December 1895 will be generally and severely cold in the United States and Canada. January and March will be severely cold in the valleys of the Ohio n.~oszaa ITppar Miccicoippi and Mis- souri and the Lake country. From the crest of the Rockies west ward the winter will taper off to mildeI | in the direction of Vancouver's island February showing the greatest depar | ture on the cold stde. Besides these general features many | extremes will occur that l cannot un | dertake to give in this bulletin. | As to the condition of winter grains much depends on the amount of snow
