A' 'correspondent !" furnishes the subjo'ned treaties upon the science of the ' weather, which contains some thoughts that might be turned to a practical account by the fanner : :'' i The Smithsonian Institute made " an effort some time ago, to establish a science of weather which I supposed failed. Could .this be doiw, what a great advantage it.would be to the farmer and planter, in pitching their crops, but owing to the uncertainty of the winds, which make the weather; they, must from year t5 year take the chances.. j- The wind goeth; toward .the South and turneth about unto the North; it whit-lech about continually'.. Yet by close observation we may learn something from" the sigus in ref erence to the seasons. "Vhen the south wind blows ye say, there will be r heat, and iteotnlth to pass, 'and "tbe norths wind Unvetn away rain. Yhen it is evening ve - say Jfc- will be fair weather, for the skv is red. and in the for the morning it will be foul weather to-day. sky is red and lowering." Here . are the by which we may determine the .weather, tor a day, and they generally hold good. : ;;Theu if we can discern the weather fur a day, why ; not !a week, a niouth. a year ? . . ..v '!-, , We are. inclined to the opinion that much out door life, and continued close observation, (will gjve us some idea of the. coming seasou. , I am not very weather wise, but will tell what, I have observed.! The. winter preceding 18G7 was ex ceedingly; cold. . , The summer of 18G7 was nx ceedinrly wet, and such a failure in the crops as our farmers will never jurget. , J be winter pre ceding 38G8 was not so cold as 18G7; the suuo mcr oMbbb was not no wet as bT, crops were better j The winter precedin'sr 'G9 was exceed- ingly mild, the summer of GD was exceedingly dry generally, and the . crops cut oil by . the drought, j Then what follows? why, a wet sunaV mer follows a cold winter, and a dry summer a mild or warm winter.! And is there not some sound feniiusopnv; lor tins, upon tue tiieory ex t ! 1 a . .1 rain, that of the commingling of cool aisd warm nrrents of air ? During , a cold winter tlx; airj is thoroughly chilled, then during sum- mer mere is a continual mingling 01 coia anu ' F 1 . n warm air,; consequently an abundance or rain following the mild or warm winter, the cold cur- rents are wanting, hence, the drought. .JLhen tliA mImiv1 it fitrrept.
