If it clears off in the night, look for rain the next day. If smoke from the chimney settles instead of rising, there is a storm at hand. When sound travels a long distance there is also a storm near. Xever expect much storm in the old of the moon. The absence of dew and un usually heavy dew are alike forerun ners of rain. Xot much frost need be expected in the light of the moon. An owl hooting in the hollow is a sign of a cold storm; on the hill it foretells a thaw. If the hornets build low, the winter will be hard. When leaves fall early the winter will l>e long. When snow falls on a hard road it, will not last long. The last spring snowstorm never comes until after the "sugar snow," which may be recognized by coming in un usually large flakes and lasting only a few minutes. If the hog's milt is found big at the front the first part of winter will be most severe. If the reverse is true we may look for hard weather in February and March. Bright "northern lights" bring severe cold. Sun dogs indicate a bad storm. Distant sound heard distinctly forebodes no good weather. If the sun draws up water" it will rain. The pitcher sweating and the tea kettle boiling dry also indicate rain, j Cobwebs thickly spread upon the grass are an indication ' of fair weather. Animal life seems, ac cording to the popular notion, to have peculiar warnings regarding j the weather changes. Some of these ! are explainable bv natural causes. It is a fact recognized by all intel ligent stockmen that cattle have an intimation of an approaching storm some hours before it is visible to the human eye. 'J here is certain rest lessness which the cowboy has learn ed to interpret at once. \Mien you see a big pasturing in the field build for itself a nest you may look for a storm. # Chickens take extra pains in oiling their feathers- just before a rain. Pea fowls send fortli their shrill cries as a warning, anil when the quail cries "more wet" from tlid meadow the farmer works briskly to get his hay under shelter. ? Putnam's Magazine. Waterproof Dressing For Shoes. Spermaceti, four parts; pure gum rubber, cut very small, one part. Melt with a gentle heat, ;?nd then i dd tallow or lard, ten parts; copal varnish, five parts. Mix well and apply the composition to the leath er with a paint brush. Be sure to let the rubber dissolve without stir ring. It will take four or five hours. To Remove Marking Ink. To remove marking ink from lin en dip the garment in a solution of one ounce cyanide of potassium in four ounces of water. After a few hours the stain will be obliterated. This is very effectual, but the mix ture is deadly poison and should be handled with extreme care and care fully removed. Whitewashing. It is often thought that white washing over dirt will restore the clean appearance. This is a mis take, and the walls will never lo'jk iiice unless they are cleaned before whitewashing. ]?! !* h i t \'m i t i? !? !b ib ft I !i*j iw n * 1 'jAtl IIW ii L i fifti 31 VM * i s?: " ' i m !
