 Here it Is, well past the middle of she spring months. and practically no farm work has yet been fairly started. How could it have been while the weather has been alternating snow storms with hurricanes and only bleak, chilling days of wintry coldness for intervals?
 I've but just dug my parsnips out. Not that they were frozen in too deep, for they weren't frozen in at all. When the snow once melted off them there wasn't even one inch of frost in the ground. But they were buried under what might have been called a snow bank if it hadn't been so nearly uni versal that it better deserved the name of snow stratum. When that melted away 1t left a pond or puddle of soft, sticky bootleg deep mud, in which digging with anything but a spoon was out of the question:

One thing ia sure, however much we may be interested in the weather. and however important it may be to Us, there's not the slightest use worrying over it. We can worry ourselves into backaches or a premature whitening of our hair, and it won't make the slightest difference with the weather that will follow. We shall continue to get just whats coming to us, whether it's good for us or not, and no matter what We need or think we need.

] don't wonder that farmers are al- ways talking about the weather. Con- sidering what it means to them, they can't help thinking about it, and why shouldn't they talk it?
 To the townsman it is only an acci- dent of the day; for the farmer it may be the tragedy of the season.
 Anyway, it is the one mastering fac tor of the problem under which he must work out his years salvation, If is, moreover. a more uncertain quantity than any "X'' or "Y" in an algebra ic equation.

It's little bit strange to some minds that, since We talk and have for hun dreds of years talked so much and so constantly about it, we don't come real ly to know more about it.
 For We, unfortunately, don't know enough about it to be of any practical use in farm work.
 Of course, there's the daily weather report, which is apt to be right just about five times in ten-if we only allow it a leevay of A hours to run loose in. That is, if it announces a fair day for Thursday, and it actually rains like a second deluge all that day, but clears in the night and is bright Friday, then we can understand that they predicted the good weather all right, but merely happened to be a day too early with it. This sort of ex- planation is soothing, no doubt, to the souls of the bureau officials But it doesn't much help the farmer who wants to know whether he can culti- vate his potatoes Thursday.

As for the various "'weather prophets" Of unofficial noisiness it can perhaps be said that they Init it right" just about as often as the governments weather bureau does-and no oftener.
 Only when they do by some mysteri- ous chance happen to strike a bulls eye you can hear 'em cackle for the next ter years. It's when they miss the mark entirely that they keep as still as frogs under a foot of ice in January Let them tell it and you'd think that Solomon and Ezekiel and Jeremiah and all the rest were boys at prophecy beside them. But just keep steady track of their prognostica- tions for a year, yourself, check 'em up on your own shingle, and you'll find that they are simply guessers who like all Yankees can guess right part of the time-and part of the time only. Which doesn't do you, as a working farmer. any good at all, unless you can yourself guess when they're going to be right and when wrong.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-04-22

As think Eve said before, repeated and careful tests for months at time of the governments weather predic- tlons have shown that in my part of the country, they are right just about half the time, and wrong just about half the time.
 Which isn't anything like as high an average of correctness as any individ- ual farmer can make for himself by a shrewd observation of the sky and the swallows and the earth-worms and some few other things. the night be- fore.

They tell the story of how a certain almanac more than a century ago, leaped into sudden fame and brought its publisher unexpected wealth be- cause of printers blunder. In those days the almanac makers used to in- sert weather predictions for a year in advance in the space to the right of the days of each month. One such marked a prophecy of snow to be in serted after a certain date in Janu- ary. This wasn't such wild chance to take. But the printer, by some mis- take inserted it after a corresponding date in July.
 And it actually did snow on that July dateI-a freak so remarkable and unexpected that all New England promptly accepted that c-makey
