Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol —^(meaning "CON- TINUED "), or the symbol y (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: Les images suivantes ont 6x6 reproduites avec le plus grand soin, compte tenu de la condition et de la nettetd de l'exemplaire filmd, et en conformity avec les conditions du contrat de filmage. Les exemplaires originaux dont la couverture en papier est imprimde sont filmds en commengant par le premier plat et en termin.^nt soit par la dernidre page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou d'illustration, soit par le second plat, selon le cas.

G — Eciuation of time, (or quantity by -which the sun is alow or fast of tlie clock at noon, apparent, not mean, time at Greenwich, or at a quarter before 8 o'clock in the morning at Halifax.) 7 — The Sun's declination for the same as the Equation, 6th col. 8 — Tlie rising or setting of the Moon — the setting being given from the New to the Full Moon, and the rising from Full to New Moon. 9 — The place of the Moon in the Ecliptic. 10 — The time of the Moon's southing or passing the meridian. This column also gives the time of High Water at Parrs- boro', Horton, Cornwallis, Windsor, Newport, Truro, &c. The top of the columns of each month gives the Moon's phases, or times of New and Full Moon, and of the first and last quarters, or two quadratures with the Sun.

B., and Portland, llh. 14m. — at Pictou and Cape Tormentine, lOh. — and St. John's, Newfoundland, 6h. 30m. All the calculations are made to mean solar time, which has super- seded the qld mode of reckoning by apparent time. The Planers. — The hour of meridian, passage, right ascension, and declination of each of the principal planets, is given for the \st and 15fAof each month — to which is added the mean time transit cp, or the mean time of transit of the first point of a Arieties, being the mean time corresponding to OA. Cm. 0«. of Sideral time on each of those days. By the aid of this table the time of the meridian passage of any heavenly body may be readily found. From the right ascension of the body subtract the retardation, which is at the rate of 83s. .for each hour, or 16s. for each minute of its R. A. ; add the remainder to the mean time transit fp ; the sum, divide if necessary, by 24A., will be the mean time of the meridian passage of the body in question. For any other day than the 1st and 15th of the month, apply a correction at the rate of 3w. 55.91s. per day, reckoned from the nearest given day, to be added if for a n c^arlier day, subtracted if for a later day. 11 i JA!VlJillV begins on Tuesday. 1826 % N(>w Moon. 7tli (1.. 7h.

All this mi^jlit easily be, with scarcely an addi- tional expense, if the desire and t.-iste were not wanting;. Flowers and a snuHith lawn around a dwellin,!? require but little attention or money ; and as for trees, the most beau- tiful for shade or ornament are the jzrowth of our native woods. ^Vllilst the chief olyect of the f irmer's attention must be, and shouM be, the increa- 1; of his crops, the care of his cattle, the adding to his yearly profits. In- still has time enon;;h, and he ous;ht to have Boul and spirit enough, for other and higher objects, the improvement of his miud and tho cultivation of his ta«te.

Good nuinagement and pystt-m are eqnsvlly necessary to success in fi»rmin-g. If farmers intend to "make money," they must keep up with the times, study their business, and adopt new implements and l.-^>.t><>r-8avini^ machines. Old sayings, old maxims, and old tools are poor capital, aivl double th.3 money wouM be made if greater liberality was used in manaj^emeut. Wo try to live by starvintr our laisiness, and in turn irct starved by it — a result which no reasonable man ean find fault with. It ia an old saying that '• INIore corn (i'rows u.'i crotiked rows than on straight " — and why ? Because every liody plants crooked rows. Now, still nioro would grow im straight om>s if every Ijody laiil tliem strnipht. 5*0, likewise, every larnier who ploughs Btraiglit furrotVH raises tho litrgest crops. " Why so ? " a«ks the reailer.

There should be in every town, villKKC, or district, ti '* Farmers' Club," not consist- ing merely of a few of tho moro woiilthy, but of the entire body of farmers. This club should o^/n a lil)rary of agricultiiri'. consi8tln(? not only of the more popular class of a{!;rieulturiU publioations, but also of all the En;;lish and American .standard works on this .suWect. In this way a va,st amount of instruction and informatiuu might be derived, md the expense, wlum divided amonjx a largo number, would not be very considerable. This club should hold Iroijuent meetings, in which discussions on various topics, the communication of individual experience and the results of pri- vate reading, should form the distinctive feature. In other occupations men club together to maintain the position of their craft ; they call for tlie jirolection of their interests, and they tind n;eans to secure their ends. And wlion ovv farmers come to feel the truth of the remark which i>oliticians love to weave into their honeyed speech- es, that the '' bone and sinew" of the province lies in them, they will then go man- fully to the Legislative Asseml)ly for the riglits wliich have too long been intrusted to those who neither sow nor reap, nor gatlier into barns, but eat the fruits of others' labors. /s *l If 1856* TT -A filSt. mvizun. t' hoi'izou. plttCL'.

The farmer now realizes the reward of his toil, labor, and attention. He is ready to burat into song.s of gratitude to Uim '' who causes bread to spring out of the earth, and who loads all with blessings." Is it not labor that makes a man happy? 'Would not the soul, for want of exertion, become enfeebled and enervated? Society would, indeed, be in a wretched state. Then move on, and crowd your garners with the golden ears ; till your cellars and bins to tho brim ; gather in the fruits of your gar- duns and your orchards; let nothing be wasted or lost. Leave not your tools in tho field, as the manner of some is, who do business without system or order. Your good wife is, no doubt, engaged in doors, iind understands her business — industrious, care-taking, active and obliging. There is nothing better for a fai-mer than a good wife. Much of the success, prosperity, and comfort of every farmer depends upon the managemout of his in-door concprns by his wife. If we look around us, we shall soo that wherever there is a wife of the right s^amp, if thi husband possesses ordinary ability and industry, they will be prosi)erous. 6. M C^ «^ 'a J 1856.
