WEATHER FORECASTS.
(Scientific American.

If it clears off in the night, look for
rain next day. If smoke from the
chimney settles instead of rising, there
is a storm at hand. When sound
travels long distance there is also a
storm near. Never expect much of a
storm in the old of the moon. The
absence of dew and an unusually
heavy dew are alike fore runners of
rain.
Not much frost need be expected in
the light of the moon. An owl hoot-
ing in the hollow is sign of a cold
storm; on the hill it foretells thaw.
If the hornets build low the winter
will be hard. When leaves fall early
the winter will be long. When snow
falls on hard road it will not last
long. The late spring snow storm
never comes until after the sugar
snow" which may be recognized by
coming in unusually large fakes and
only lasting few minutes. If the
hogs melt is found big at the front
the first part of the winter will be
most severe; if che reverse is true, we
may look for hard weather in Febru-
airy and March. Bright northern lights
bring severe cold. If the sun shines
on the second day of February 80 as to
permit the wood chuck to see its shad-
ow, it will go back in its hole and re-
main six weeks. If March comes in
like lamb it will go out like lion /;
if it comes in like lion it will go out
like lamb. In other words one extre-
me at the beginning promises the re-
verse at the end of the month. Sun
dogs indicate bad storm.
Distant sounds heard distinctly fore
bode no good weather. If the sun
draws up water" it will rain. The
sweating and the boiling dry also in
dicate rain. Cobwebs thickly spread
upon the grass are an indication of
fair weather Animal life seems,
according to the popular notion, to

have peculiar warnings regarding the
weather changes. 1t is fact recogn-
lied by all intelligent stockmen that
cattle have an intimation of an ap-
preaching storm some hours before it
is visible to the human eye. There
is a certain restlessness which the
cowboy has learned to interpret at
once. When you see pig pasturing
in tie field begin to build for itself a
nest, you may look for a storm.
Chickens take extra pains in oiling
their feathers just before rain. Pea
towels send forth their shrill cries as
warning, and when the quail cries
'more wet" from the meadow the far
mer works briskly to get his hay under
shelter. If the chickweed and scarlet
pimpernel expand their tiny petals,
rain need not be expected for few
hours. Bees work with redoubled en-
ergy just before rain. If the flies
are unusually persistent either in the
house or around stock there is rain in
the air. The cricket sings at the ap-
proach of cold weather. Squirrels
store large supply of nuts, the husks
of corn are unusually thick, and the
buds of. deciduous trees have firmer
protecting coat if severe winter is at
hand. If the poplar or quaking asp
leaves turn up the under side rain will
soon follow.
If the fog rises in the morning, it is
sign of rain; if it settles, clear day
may be expected. Watch the smallest
cloud you can see. If it increases in
size it is going to rain; if it melts
away and vanishes completely, fair
weather will follow.
If the camphor bottle becomes roily
it is going to storm. When it clears,
settled weather may be expected. This
idea has seemingly been utilized in
the manufacture of some of our cheap
barometers. The main trouble is,
they seldom foretell the change until
about the time it arrives.
Last, but not least, the rheumatic
can always tell it ''in their bones
when storm is approaching, and to
this representation the octogenarian
of today is as firm an advocate as
were his forefathers.

ATHENA, APRIL 49,. 10, 1905

The board of managers of the Lewis
and Clark fair should "wise up" and
profit by the exposure made of the st.
Louis fair management by Senator
Carter, who was chairman of the ma
tional commission of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, announces that
the awards made in st. Louis were
never submitted, as they should have
been, to the legally authorized scan
ming and are therefore invalid and
practically worthless. Senator
Carter further alleges that in the dis
position Of buildings in st. Louis, after
the close Of the fair, favoritism was
shown to such an extent that great
loss of funds resulted. Reduced to
plain, set terms, Senator Carter says
that there was a lot Of skulduggery
in the local management at ST. Louis.
It does seem as If the city on the Mis-
sissippi was given over to crooked
ness. 1t may be that some of Senator
Carter's charges are not true, but he
is not alone in the role Of accuser and
there is altogether too much smoke
not to justify the belief that there has
been some flame. The dispute as to
the validity Of the awards made is un-
fortunate. Many exhibitors-you may
be sure, vast majority-went to
great expense and were actuated by
perfectly proper motives in making
display. All they had to hope for
so far as substantial returns were
concerned, was exploitation and rec
ognition of their wares. II this
recognition, when obtained, is open
to question, if the blue ribbon, the
diploma or the medal came through
channels unauthorized to grant it, its
possession is of little worth and the
world d's'fair is sadly discredited.

Advertising is nothing new. Quite
often people speak of it as the new
method of stimulating business. 1t
Is not the new way--it is THE way.
An exchange observes that business
men have always advertised in some
way or other, and those who knew
how, succeeded and built mp great
houses which are in some instances
still running prosperously. But fash
ions change. There was day when
the farmer read what he saw painted
on the fence rails ON his way to town.
He seldom does so now, unless it is
some particularly fiaring and dis
pleasing combination of color design.
1t has been done to such an extent
that it is no longer effectual. The gut
ter-snipe dodger has been worked to
death, and now people who have red,
white or blue handbills thrust into
their hands on the corners merely relax
their fingers and allow the sheets to

Cattle shippers are kicking about
the law passed at the last session of
the legislature, requiring them to pay
SO for an inspection Of brands before
a shipment can be made.
Several small shipments of cattle
are now about ready to leave here,
cars having been ordered for them,
but owing to the inspection charges
they are being delayed in hopes that
some arrangement can be made
whereby the shipper will not be COM
PEELED to pay the charges.
The law was passed with a view to
checking cattle stealing and while
the intention of the law is good,
shippers say Its enforcement Is 6
farce N a great many instances, as it
is impossible for an inspector to Sc
cure all the brands on cattle in the
way in which cattle are inspected.
They say II cattle were run through
a chute, or inspected separately that
there would be some possibility OF
securing an accurate inspection, but
where an inspector walks through a
corral and takes down the brands In
sight, in a moving herd Of cattle, that
It becomes an expensive and valueless
farce.
1t is said by many of the promi-
nent shippers that so far there has
not been a thorough inspection in the
state since the law was passed and
that until arrangements are made at
stock yards for the careful and sys-
tematic inspection OF every animal
shipped there is little use to impose
the charges upon them.
None of them complain at the OBJ
ject of the law, as 1t is conceded that
every means possible must be EN-
ployed to check and prevent stealing
but the place to secure the brands Is
at the ranches and ranges, where the
cattle are delivered to the shippers
they claim.
