TIm! phenomena which liavo created most fear and alarm amongst mankind, liave been those of Eclijises aiid Comets; and it was not until the science of Astronomy hail boon cultivated for years, that any rational ideas regarding the latter weiv in-omulgated. Dr. Ilalley, alter laborious calculation — even nights, days and years spent in ligures and planetary ohservations — calculated the return of twenty-four Comets, lie discovercl tliat tlie Comet (jf 1(182 was the same that aitpeiireil in lijOy and lool; whote path, in its orbit, is com- pleted in seventy-five or seventy-six years. The Comet of 10(31 was suj>po&cd to be the one of l.)32, completing every journey in 121) years — that the Comet of 1080 was the same one that a.)ipcarcd in 1100, and previous to that period in 531; first noted fuurty-four years before Christ, Some Comets, noted in ancient times, have not yet become visilde, inasmuch as their range, or the distxncc they are permitted to soar a))ove the planetary system, may be to within a comparatively shoi't space of the Fixed Stars; so tliat tl>ousands of years niay elapse before some return to their perihelion, or point of a planet's orbit Avlierein it is iieareHt the Sun. The great Comet of 1080 was the most magnificent object of its kind seen in modern liuKvs. Its tail was 112 millions of miles in leiigtb, reaching ninety degrees across the heavens. Whon in its perihelion, it came so near the Sun, that, in accordance with Sir Isaac Newton's cal- culations, tlie l)ody of the Comet must have been heated 2000 times bolter than red-hot iron, and could not get cool again in upwards of a ndllion of years! Our readers may congratulate themselves that this Comet of 1080 is not the same witli the one expected to llame in the firmament in 1857 — 8; but our posterity will have to tremble at the approach of the terrific monster in 22651! Halley's Comet, which appeared in 1082^ two years after its big brother had winged its way from tlie Sun, returns, by Halley's compu- tation, every seventy-six years. It came as predicted, in 1759 and 1835, and its next advent will be in 1911. That Comet travels a million miles or more beyond the orbit of the planet Neptune. It is, however, a pigmy compared to the one now iipproaching us — the Comet ot 1550, whose unexpected advent struck terror throughout all Europe. The best authorities are of opinion that the Comet of )204 and that of 1556, which is now approaching, arc identical. It does not appear BELCH KU's FA Il.M ER'S [185 8. possible, in the present state of cm- Iciio^lcdge, tn propiosticate the pre- cise period of its appoaranco, though iconic, liave .somc'A'hat rashly ventured to fix tho very day! liVe du ii(4 feci disposed to go any fui tiicr in the way of prediction, than by stating tliat tlie coining Comet will most probably \nake its appearance betwPA,'u June, 1807, and August, 1858. The approachini; Coniot is one of greater size than tl-.e one of 1680— the length of its tail ii I-IO niillioils of inilei?! and its tipccd, near its perihelion, will be some millions of miles in one single hour! I If this Cornet, then, be a solid, dense substance, and it- appear during the approaching summer, going as near the Sun as the Comet of 1680, Ave may expect a vci'y hut season, as certainly so large a body, if tho theory be true that it becomes heated 2,00(J times hotter tiian red-hot iron, cannot come within our view without increasing our temperaturj greatly. Tho celebrated M. Arago and other astronomers of France, aver that there are 250,000.000 chances to one, against a collision between the Comet and the earth; and these learned observers of the hetiAcns know far better than those pretended seers, who are always looki)ig out fur signs of horror and dismay.

I When sprinp comes every good farmer will have a field or garden or orchard, where ! he can ])rolitably api)ly ail the manure he can save or make during the whiter. Every ] shovelful of manure judiciously applied vt'ill increase tlie amount of his crop. Now is 1 the time to think of this, ami to make preparation accordingly. Let those near the sea i shore collect sea-weed — and those who live near saw-mills draw home and jiut under '. cover loads of saw-dust. Tliis may he used to good advantage, in absorbing the urine of ! liorses and cattle, and retaining tlie fertilizing aiiiiiiunia which tiiey contain. Saw -dust I and dry meadow muck well saturated with urine will lie a fcrliliwu- almost equal to I guano. On most '^rnis there is nearly a total loss of the urine of the stock, during the ; time it is kept at ilie barn, and even the other portion of the excrement is often so much i exiiosed that one half its vul. ->, pmhaMy, is lost. It is often washed into the highway, I and is seen in the colouring of the water of l)rooks. It would not, j.robably, be an over ■ estimate of this loss, to say that with many it is more than ec^vial to their amount of I poor and county rates.

In so i^niall a compass as these colunius you cannot expect any lengthened details. Our endeavours are mostly to call attention to the duty, and awaken the slHin)>ering energies. If we hai)pen to iittbrd any ])rofit, amusement or entertainment so much the better. lUit some very strangely object to reading for information, as though they were already fully stocked with knowledge. Lawyers, Clergymen and Physicians, say they must read as well as practici^, and why not the fanner .'' Some, treading hi the footsteps of their forefathers, say they want neither bii'.iks ma* papers to instruct them how to iminage the soil. As for chemistry and botany, so much talked about lielieve they have no more to do with farming than spirit-rapping. Thus they talk, and all we can say or do is, let experience settle the matter. However, never be afraid of the word science, for skilful practice is but applied science — ami you all want to be skilful, we trust, in what you do. 1858. th. rizon. horizon, rizon.

Preparations must now he made for a lonp and .severe winter. The summer vehicles should he dried, cleaned and stowed away. The fences should he put in order, so that none of tho fields may he exposed to the poachint; of cattle, sheep or hofjs. The farmer shoidd walk ahout daily with a hammer and pocket full of nails, patc^hin^ and repairititr the barns and sheds where they require it. Finish dijri^iufr and storing of roots, and the fall ploughing — one good ploughing of day land in the fall is worth two or three In the spring. Husk the corn — make cider — examine and make cuts for the drainage of j surface water — luiderground drains are preferable to surface cuts. The children shouM l>e kept close at school, and the farmer shoulil never forget that more attention is due from him toward the improvement of his children than to that of the land or stock. Let everyone take in and study a» agricultural periodical, and strive to coud)iue science with practice — practice with science. [1858. South, rinfj; S. East. iig S.
