Tradition of the ancients held
that when it rained on the Sth of
june, st. Medards day, that it
would rain for forty days, and if it
did not rain, it would be followed
by a long drought. Last Sunday
was the 9Th and there was not a
single cloud to mar the blue can
opy of heaven, not sign to prog
nosticate that rain was near at
hand. If the prophecies of our
u.fOrefathers be true we may expect
dry times, and as precaution we
would advise our friends to be
sparing with their cistern water
Regardless of the prophecy regard
ing the 9Th of June, there is every
indication Of a drought from the
present signs of the times, we
hope though, that our forecasts will
fail. Rain is now needed to re-
fresh and give vigor to the prom
ising crops that appear everywhere.
A drought at this time would re-
snlt in great damage to our plant,
ers. There are some who may be
ignorant of the reason why it is
said that il it rained on the 9Th OF
June it would rain forty days.
Tradition claims that it was on
that date that the great deluge
0verhcwed the earth, when the
fioodgates Of heaven were opened
and rain fell upon the earth forty
days and forty nights and de-
stroyed every living thing upon
the earth, as recounted in Genesis
Chap. Z. The calender of those
days wonld not fit the present and
no one knows on what day OF
month the deluge commenced.
