HICKS ON FEBRUARY WEATHER.

The first regular storm period for
the month is central OH the Sd, cover
ing the lst to the 9Th.
A progressive warm wave with fall
ing barometer will appear first cloudi-
ness with rain, turning to snow will
follow, and these, attended with more
or less storminess, will pass central to
eastern parts of the country from about
the Sd to the 9th. Meantime a high
barometer with winter winds and
change to much colder will be rushing
ON from western and northwestern sec
tions in due time and regular order
to displace the storm areas and
spread to eastern extremes.
BY the 9Th and 9th all the forego-
ing phenomena of the first storm
period will have nearly or quite dis
appeared, except the cold in eastern
states. Change to warmer and fall
ing barometer, followed by return to
cloudiness and rain and snow will
again be advancing from western
parts. On and touching the 9Th and
9th look for rains, with electrical
storms probable especially southwark.
AS these conditions move out of the
way to the eastward, high barometer,
cold winds with squalls of snow and
clearing weather will follow progress
sively to the eastward.
The next storm period is central
on the 14th, extending from the 18th
to the 18th. The passage of regular
winter storm conditions, from west
to east in progressive order, may be
counted ON at this period. First,
February rains, turning to snow and
sleet squalls, winding up with rising
barometer and cold wave.
The 10th, Goth and 2lst will bring
general and very active winter storms.
The first stages of these storms will
be warm and tropical-rains with
lightning and thunder, especially ON
and touching the 2lst. But in quick
order look for change to colder with
blizzardous visitations from west and
north. Decided cold will spread
eastward behind progressive storms.
The last storm period for February
runs from the 25th into March. On
and touching the 27th and 2Sth,
growing change to falling barometer,
warmer and cloudiness will merge
into widespread rains, fringed ON
the west and northwest tangents by
snow, high winds and much colder.
In due time and order: these condi-
tions will reach most parts of the
country, involving the first day or
two of March.

We are asked why it is that the old
fashioned blizzard no longer visits the
northwest country, and it is assumed
that marked climatic change has TAX
On place incident to the occupation, set
tisment and development Of the coun-
try. We doubt If any climatic change
has taken place and think that as the
years 60 by it will be found that it is
just as cold, just as hot, just as wet
and just as dry, covering a period Of
years, as it was fifty years ago. This
fact Ia true, however, so far as the
blizzard is concerned: The building Of
fences and the planting Of innumerable
groves Of timber all over the surface Of
the prairie country have done much to
modify the intensity Of these bitter
winter storms. In an early day the
prairies were usually burned over in
the fall of the year, and there was alb
solutely nothing to obstruct the force
and sweep Of the winds. This condi-
ton made possible the frightful, hiss
ing, deathly blizzard Of the past. To-
day every fence obstructs the passage
Of the snow, and every grove breaks
up the air currents and limits their
force and intensity, which two things,
we think, explain why the blizzard as
we used to know it thirty and forty
years ago has become a thing Of the
past.

When Daddy Was a Boy.

When daddy was little boy twas
mighty hard to find,
In all the country roundabout kid so
quick to mind.
He never played out late at night, or
tore his pantaloons,
Or tied tin cans to Rover's tail, or
sailed big toy balloons.
He never answered mother back with
words both sharp and quick,
And very seldom felt the wind of pas
big walking stick.
He never came home late from school
and banged the kitchen door,
Or scraped his dirty, muddy boots on
mas clean parlor floor.
He never wore his trousers out upon
an unplaned plank,
Or padded with his feet and hands
beneath a shelvin' bank.
He never ate green apples from the
trees in neighbor's yards,
An always went to Sunday school and
got his little cards.
In truth, he was a model kid, to hear
him tell the story,
But now he's doin' other things that
bring him far less glory.
He goes a-fishin' with bunch on
Sunday afternoons,
An takes mas two best tableclOths
an all her silver spoons,
An bait in cans, an bottles. too, the
best that can be got;
Pa comes home Monday morning the
drunkest of the lot.
But pa, he's kind o. catchin' on since
mas hid the bait
An gently raped him once or twice
upon his shinin' pate.
He now sits meek an dOcile with his
paper on the grass
An lets the other fellers fish for pick
erel an for bass.

ENJOY THE ROSES.

A queer fallacy induces some people
TO leave the roses unpicked with the
idea of encouraging the plant. AS a
matter of fact. roses should not only
be picked as freely as possible. but
with as long stems as the growth will
permit merely observing the precau-
ton TO leave an outward growing eye,
or perhaps two for safety, OH the stem
below the cut.
Where it has been found Impossible
to pick all the roses for us, then the
plants should be gone over daily and
all faded flowers removed to a point at
least two eyes below the flowers. A
Regular practice of this precaution is
tM only means of assuring some au-
tumnal bloom in our climate, from by
