Prophets Predict Mild Winter

Charley Beachley, the well known
weather prophet of Clevelandville,
predicts that We will have mild win
ter. Mr.. Beachley says there are
many Indications and signs, if one
takes the trouble to observe them. that
never fail to foretel weather condi-
lions and the nature of the seasons. In
the first place, our prophet says that
the wet spring and dry fall are sure to
be followed by mild winter. Then,
too, the corn husks are thin, there
We're few chestnuts and acorns, and
hornets nests were built very low
this year. Chickens are moulting late
and crows are rot collecting in large
fiocks as is their custom on the APP
proach of hard winter. While these
signs are sufficient, Mr.. Beachley re-
CARDS the caterpillar as the most re-
liable of all living creatures as wea-
Their prognostcator. He has observed
that the fur on caterpillars is very
thin this year. The middle band across
the back of the worm is light brown,
while the end bands are quite dark, all
OF which means mild weather ahead.
When the fur is thick and middle of
the worm dark and the ends light, look
out for hard winter.
Mr.. Beachley says that if he had
more time to devote to the observa-
ton of nature he would make bust
ness of forecasting for the metropoli-
tan papers and take the matter up
with the U. S. Weather" Bureau, but
his work of fruit growing and farm
ing cannot be neglected.
