PROPHETS OF WINTER.
Signs of Nature and Times Interpreted
as Indicating the Coming Season.

as lnucaJlnB the coming season.
Word comes from New Jersey that
an apple tree is in bloom on the Fair
field road at Caldwell and that the
farmers regard this as sign that
there will be a heavy fall OF snow
within three weeks OF the blossoming,
say about the Saturday after election.
This blossom representation may be
local to New Jersey; certainly it was
not of general credence when the
government, i'll 1883, collected and
published Signal Service Notes
Weather Proverbs" a book of l48
pages compiled by 1t. H. c. c. Dun
woody, assistant to the chief signal
officer of the war department; a vol
ume which is bible to those who
await the autumnal verdict of the
goose bone as TO our hibernal fate.
The little book contains many prov
erb about snow, but none that cou-
pies its early fall with the blossom
ing OF trees out of season.
Snow is generally preceded by a
general animation of man and beast
which continues until after the snow
fall ends"
There will be as many snowstorms
during the season as there are DAYS
remaining in the months after the time
of the first snow"
IF it SHOWS on November 10 we
must expect 20 storms the coming
winter. Yet it is we'll TO have our
snow early for:
IF there is no snow before Janu-
airy there will be the more snow in
March and April"
In New England they believe that
heavy November snow lasts until
April, and in Germany, if the Novem-
Der snow remained on the trees. i,
was accepted as a sign that there
would be few buds in the spring. This
later belief varies from the American
proverb:
If the first snow sticks to the trees
II tOretells a bountiful harvest"
If the goose bone has not delivered
its ultimatum by the first snowfall
watch the snow itself. II it remains
on the ground some time in shaded
places expect a hard winter. But =
snow year, rich year.
Must we wait for the snow or the
goose bone to learn whether the
winter is to be hard? Not at all
