Mkrcury, the least of the six old planets, is but seldom seen l)y the naked eye, and is not even under favourable circumstances visible more than two hours before the rising or after the setting of the 8iin, but when seen it apfiears at a little elevation like An tares, or Arcturus, red stars of the first magnitude. The follow ing will be the most favourable opportunities for observing this planet during the year 1844. April 24 to May 15 in the evening after sunset bearing W.N. W. Octr. 6. to Octr. 24 In the morning before sunrise bearing East. For iht conjunction of this and the other planets^ see Calendar ptigei. Venus, will be visible in the evening, in the West, after sun-j set until July 23 the day of her inferior conjunction, and then in the morning in the East, before sunrise. In the months of Juni and the latter part of Augt. and first of Septr. her brilliancy wil be so great that she may be seen at noon by the naked eye, witli< out much difficulty, even amidst the strongest sunshine. Mars, will be visible in the evening in the West after sunsetj until- Augt. 4, the day of his conjunction, and then in the morning before sunrise. The four small planets Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas are seldom if ever seen by the naked eye even when nearest the earth. Jupiter will be in conjunction March 1, and in opposi tion Septr. 21. This planet is always easily distinguished by his beautiful white light, which though inferior to that of Venus is by far more brilliant than that of any other planet or star. Saturn, which shines with a pale red light will be about fifty degrees to the West of Jupiter the whole year, and therefbre easily distinguished. Uranus, will be in conjunction March 22 and in opposition Septr. 27, but cannot be seen without a telescope. Beginning and length of Seasons.

To those persons, however, who may prefer to use apparent time the calculations will be equally useful, as mean) is easily converted into a/>/>areM< time by sub -?.trting the quantity in the »ixtk column of the left hand calendar pa;ii^s, when the Sun IS slow of clock, and adding it when fast of clock, — Thus, on Isl February the Sun rises in mean time at 7K 20ut. and sets at 5h. 8m. from which (if we subtract i4m. the quantity by which the Sun is that day too slow,} we obtain 7b. &ui^ and 4h. 54m. the apparent time.

Another annual period of our frail short lives is completed ; another of our fleeting years is joined with those thst have long since gone down to oblivion: the silent lapse of time is ever carrying somewhat from U8,till At length the period comes^ when all must be swept away.

Agricultural societies have been found among the most efficient agents in promoting agriculture, and at the present day they are constantly increasing in number, activity and consequent usefulness. Agricultural Societies bring farmers into a beneficial acquaintance with each other — they stimiilate inquiry, they in- vite discussion, they reward care and research, and at the meet- ing of these Societie9, the bands of brotherhood, are materially strengthened.

It should nover be forgotten that a tree that Will yield fifty busheU and upwards of large, fair, and beautiful apples, occupie^^ no more space than a tree producing half the quantity of sour, |bitter, inferior apples, that even hogs, unless threatened with the horrors of starvation, will not touch.

Let the tnimerl then loolc about him during this month, and procure such apple grafts, as will give an ample supply of ail the most desirnbje kincis. The Farmer himself should procure his own grafts, label thein properly, and then, when put in, he will be certain of the fruit ne wishes. We then again ask the reader, are your apples good ? and if not, urge upon him the importance of attending to the matter without delay, as every year's delay in grafting, renders another year's use of worthless fruit necessary. Finish threshing your grain, and have it stored beyond the reach of rat, mouse, or weevil. If the roots have not been assorted when housed for the winter, the best should now be selected for seed and use, and the remainder fed out to the slock previous to the growth of green food in the spring. If you expect hens to lay durtn;^ the winter, they must have a warm room, and plenty of suital4e t^pd, and in addition a supply of gravel and (»ld mortar, oi* lime, t^tid water.

The grej^t obstacle!^ |to the more rapid exteiision of the culture here, is, the want of experience, proper implements, as drill barrows, cultivators, &c. and the labour of securing the crop in winter. The appai^ent magnitude of these obstacles is daily diminishing, and we shall ere long discover, that root crops may be cultivated, and secured for winter Use, as easily as other farm crops. The whole force of the farmer will be reduired this month; his manure, if any reniajn, must be all carted out. The best manure for th^ meadow is a Well mixed compost.

The soil for turnips should be such as will grow Indian Corn, it should be rich and dry, and with these qualiflcation^, the more that sand preponderates the better, clay is the worst, and wet soils do not answer much better. Finish hoeing out corn, potatoes, and all other crops, and make early preparation for harvesting.

Cattle and swine intended for fattening, should now have increased attention paid to them, although the fact is generally known, that animals will take on fat much faster in moderate, or warm weather, than they will in cold, uncomfortable weather, it does not seem to have influenced the course of fanners as much as it should — the same quantity of food will give a far greater amount of pork in September and October, than in November and December, — begin to feed them as early as your means will admit, and you will probably find your account in this method. Uealers in pork may not like to have their operations commeJnce too early ; but when meat is making for home con sumption, this objection does not apply — indeed so important is the difference, that It would be judicious for every man to jre setVe grain enough from his last year's stock, to feed his swine^ battle, &c. till his new crops are in readiness. )t 1844.

Good potatoes may be spoiled by carelessness in digging and preserving — a few hours exposure to .the sun, turns the surface more or less green, and gives the root a bitter, unpleasant flavour. Be not over anxious about a little diirt on your potatoes when housed, if they are dry, and no root should ever be put in the cellar, or in a pit when wet, for a D M 1 t u es o •a « 'TS 3 53 3 56 58: 2 I 5 8 12 15 4 17 4 20 4 23 27 29 31 34 4 38 41 44 48 50 4 53 57 2 5 8 10 14 16 5 20 5 22 r are to be 3 to the pre- o any of the t, as well as spoiled by exposure to ves the root bout a little and no root wet, for a k J OCTOBER, 31 days.

There must be knowledge, there must be intelligence, or the farmer is but illy qualified for the responsible station he holds in society. He must see that books, papers, and such works as are calculated to interest, instruct, and give an elevated, healthy, moral tone to his own mind, or those of his children, are provided.

The easy and ready mode for a pers>on of moderate income to secure by such an arrangement a provision for his family, is obvious,- -for instance, a man of 25 years old, may, by an annual! jpayment of £28 16 8, for t' e fir>t five years, and afterwards the! 'full premium of £57 12 6 yearly, secure to his widow anri' |chii'dren at his death, the payment of no less than £.'}0<)(l, subject only to the deduction of £1*44 \ 3, bein^ the amount of premium unpaid. This Company holds out in various other respect", jrreat in- ducements to the public and when such Cacilities are atlorded, it is clearly a moral duty in every man, who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an iticonie however limited lo Insure his Life for :i sum which may yield a comfortable provision to those who during his life have been dependant on him, or who at his death would be rendered destitute or in want. In case of persons Insuring for the whole term of Life by the: Table of Rates which allows a participation to the extent of tw&. thirds of the profits, ire preference to that of the reduced rates,{ their share of promts will be added to the amount of their resper-j tive Policies, or deducted from their future Premiums, at periods of not less than five and not exceeding sevefi years. The high opinion entertained of this office from the commence- nient of its business, March 1834, and its progressive prosperity and stability was manifest at the first General Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company, held at their Office, London, 1st '"ly»-J^^^L-?y^L"^*^'" PiwsW et, Esq. in the Chair, the personsi 194 farmek's almanack. 1844 Assured under the participating Rales with profits, had two per. cent per annum appropriated to them from the dates of their Policies — appliable at their option, either as an encreaae to the amounts due on iheir Policies when they became exigible, or in diminution of the annual premiums paid on them.
