Mercury, the least of the Six Old Planets is hut seldom seen by the naked eye and is nut. even under favourable circumstances, visible more than two hours before the rising, or after the setting of the Sun, but when seen, it appears like a red star oT the first magnitude, viz. — Artares or Arciurus — The following will be the Imost tavourable opportunities for seeing this planet in Nova Scotia in 184i»— Feb'y. 9 to 21, in the evening after Sunset, bearing W. by S. May 24 to June 6, «♦ '« " W. N. W July 22 to 31, in the morning, before Sunrise bearing E. by N. Nov. 9 to .30, »* " « E. S. E For the conjunctivn of this and the other plpneta tee Calendar pages, ViCNUs will be visible in the morning', in the Ea^t, before Sun rise, until Februaiy 16, the day of her Superior Conjunction, then in the Evening until her Inferior Conjunction on the 18th Decetiiber, then in the morning «he will be most brilliant as Rven ing star about the midrlle of November at which time she may be seen without much difficulty by the naked eye even amidst the brightest sunshine. " - Mars will be visible in the Evening: in the West, after Sunset until his conjunction on the 27i.h of June, and afterwards in the Knsty ill the morningr, before sunrise — Throughout the year his distance from the Earth wilt be very great, and he will therefore shine with but little of his splendour when in opposition.' The four small planets, Vesta, Ju>o, Ckkbs, and Pallas, are seldom if ever, seen by the naked eye, even when in opposition, or nearest to the Earth. JupiTKR will be visible in the mornin? in the East, for some months, gradually rising earlier and earlier, until his opposition on the 10th of July, when he lises as the sun sets — after which ihe will set in the West longer and longer before the sun rises— jThis planet is always easily distinguished by his beautiful white jlicfht, which though inferior to that of Venus, is, by far, more brilliant than that of any other planet, or star. Saturn will be very near Jupiter the whole year, and on the 25th of January will be only half a degree to the North of him — and afterwards a little to the West. It consequently will be easily distinguished. Ukanus or Hkrschrl will be in conjunction on the 15th ofi March, and in opposition on the 19th of September, but is seldom noticed by the naked eye.

There will this year happen Fivk EcWpnea— three of the Sun, and two of the Moon, but not one of them will be visible in Nova- Scotia, either wholly or in part — they will taice place as follows : I. Tuesday, January lllh, an annular eclipse of the Sun, vifliblo in very hiv h Southern latitudes, and partially at the Capes of Good Hope and Horn. ^ IL Wednesday, January 26th, a partial eclipse of the Mooif, risible in Europe, Asia, and part of Africa. I HI. Friday, July 8th, a total eclipse pf the Sun, very large throughout Europe, Asia, and the North of Africa, end cen-j tral in" part of Portugal, Spain, ^outh of France, North of{ Italy) Austria, Poland, European and Asiatic Russia, China and^ the North Pacific. It wfII be total at St. Ubes, Madrid, Toledo,' Sarragossa, Montpellier, Marseilles, Nice, Turin, Milan, Vienna,| Pressburg, Cracow, &c. IV« Thursday, July 2tst, a partial eclipse of the Moon, visible in the Western part of North America, in the Pacific Ocean, &c. V. Saturday, December 31st. an Annular eclipse of the Sun, visible in the South Pacific Ocenn, and throughout South America, in about the middle of which it will be central. Fit *#* It will be particularly noticed that all the calculations in this Almanack have been adapted to mean solar time; a mode: of computation which has rt'cenlly come into very general use, and which will probably soon entirely superstede the old mode of reckoning, as a clock regulated to npparent solar time, must, in consequence of the inequality of the solar days, be frequently^ adjusted. To those persons, however, who may prefer to use apparent time the calculations will be equally usefiil,as mean is easily converted into apparent time by subtracting the qiian-i tity in the sixth column of the left hand calendar pages, when the Sun is slow of clock, and addmg it when fast of clock. — Thus, on 1st February the Sun rises in mean time at 7h. 19m. and sets at 5h. 9m. from which (if we subtract 14m. the quanti- ty by which the Sun is that day too slow,) we obtain 7h. 5m. and i4h. 55:1). the apparent, time. i( the ons in mode use, ode ot" j jst, in uentlyl to use mean qiian-| when jck. — I 19m.! uanti- aud •♦ % parmkh*s almanack. a, EXPLANATION OF THE CALENDAR PAGKS.

The keeping of Cows in such a manner as to make them give tbe greatest quantity of milk, and with the greatest clear profit, is an essential point of economy. Give a Cow half a bushel ol" turnips, carrots, or other good roots per day, during the six winter months, besides her hfiy, and if her summer feed be such as it should be, she will give Kieariy double the quantity of milk she would afford if only kept ^ In IM '{ B 7 6 9 10 I] 12 B 14 15 16 17: 18 19 B 21 22 23 id R 28 had; IWPtl should lew-lap T capa- ind tlie broadj the size Cows in [ntiiy ol jpoint of ►r other Ides her Ivill give \\y kept] ^ V FEBRUARY, 28 Dayi.

Cheeses should not be set to dry in the same room where your milk is set, for they communicate an acid matter to the surrounding air, which will have a ten dency to make the milk sour. Churning ought to be regularly continued till the butter comes, or is formed. If the motion in summer be too quick, the butter will ferment, and become ill tasted; and in winter it will go back.

A fact of great importance to the growers of potatoes remains to be noticed. The out side rows, and all single rows, will be found to produce far greater crops than any of the interior rows of a plot in the garden or field. This depends upon a variety of causes, the chief of which is, .the more perfect exposure of the foliage to the agency of air and light. B M* 1842.

It should not be sown till after the middle of May. One bushel is seed enough for an acre, if sown broad-cast, as is usual; but if sown in drills, less than half that quantity is sufficient. Buck wheat is harvested by mowing. After it is mown, it should be [several days before it is housed. It is in no danger of the seeds falling, nor does it suffer much by wet. From its great siiccu- lency it is liable to heat in a mow, on which account it is better to put in into small stacks of five or six loads each, than either A larjs^e one, or in abarn.

In Kent, where immense quantities of peas are raised, both for Igalhering green and for selling ripe to the seedsmen, they are igeneraliy^sownin rows from 18 inches to 3 feet asunder, according to the kind, and well cultivated between. Peas laid a foot below !lhe surface will vegetate ; but the most approved depth is 6 inches in light soil, and 4 inches in clay soil; for which reason they ought to be sown under furrow when the ploijghing is de- layed till spring. Of all grain, beans excepted) they are in the least danger of being iiuried too deep. When peas are sowed thiii, the plants will lie on the'ground, and perhaps rot ; when they are thick.the plants will hold each other up with their tendrils, form ing a continued web, and will have more benefit of the air. ■MarKi rnr-r»TT— .-ar, T^'oxvaaaM J 1842.

But this rule has a great many exceptions, and the cultivator who should be governed by it without regard to the nature of the soil and the proposed crops, would only labour hard to injure his land and reduce his products.

On retentive soils, where the! 'practice of loosening them to some depth by other implementi isj 'omitted, deep ploughing is however extremely necessary. Dry jsandy soils, such as ought not to be ploughed in ridges, should! be turned over completely, and be laid and kept level as possible.'! jSuch soils, if rendered loose, and light by cultivation, will be Irobbed of their fertilizing particles as well by rains as bjr sun- shine. In other words they are liable to suffer by washing, by scorching, and by too much draining. m |184^ JULY begins on Friday. I . n f- Nevv Moon, 8th. d. 2h. 46m. morning, ]> under the horizon.

It is best, generally speakinor, to cut your very iheaviest grass first of all ; and if it be lodged, or in danger of jlodging, although the grass is hardly headed, and appears not to have obtained more than two thirds of its growth, you had better begin upon it. But when you have help enough, and your grass stands up well, you will do best to wait till the blossom is fully formed, and is beginning to turn brown. Clover is the most critical grass, and requires the most attention, and ought to be mown before the seed is formed that the full juice and nourishment of the plants may be retained in the !hay. By the adoption df this system the hay is cut in a better season, it can be more easily secured, and is much more valuahle, nor is the strength of the plant lodged in the seed, which is often lost. r i K '\&i'i.

' The farmer wbo has it in his power to drive his business, in Istead of being driven by it, will do well to sow his winter rye sometime between the middle of August and middle of Septr. If it be sowed so early, it will be less apt to winter-kill, will require iless seed, the grov/th will be stouter, and the produce greater, iother things being equal, than if the sowing was deferred till late in the Autumn.

According to the quality of pork wanted should be the number oi breeding sows kept over, and there should be no other hogs on the farm, (that is, kept over winter) but the breeding sows. These, when they pig the latter end of March, should be fed in the most attentive manner, with swill and shorts. Vhc pigs from a full grown sow will generally be twelve in number ; thes« should be thinned down to eight, and as soon as they begin to feed freely out of the trough should be weaned, and afterwards fed regularly with green tares, clover, boiled potatoes, ground peas, corn, or any other nourishing food ; turning them out every day into a small yard, where there is a shallow pond for them to lie in.

A hen-house should be large and high ; and should be frequently cleaned out, or the vermin of fowls will increase greatly — but hens must not be disturbed while sitting ; for if frightened, they sometimes forsake their nests. Wormwood and rue should be planted plentifully about their houses ; boil some of the former, and sprinkle it about the floor, which should be of smooth earth not paved. The best age for setting a hen is from two to five years; and you should remark which hens make the best brood- — 4 D M Tin B 19 3i> 4E 5 6 7 8 B 10 11 14 < 15: B a 17 18 19 2or 211 22 if ! 24 25 26 27 28 29 B 31 orizon. e horizon.

Hens sit 20 days— convenient places should be provided for their laying, as these will be proper for sitting likewise. If the eggs of any sort are put under a hen with some of her own, observe to add her own as many days after the others as there is difference in the length of their sitting— a turkey and duck sit 30 days. Choose large clear eggs to put her upon, and such Inumber as she can properly cover — ten or twelve are quite enough. When some of the chickens are hatched long before the others, it may be necessary to keep them in a basket of wool till the others come forth. The day after they are hatch d, give them some crumbs of white bread, and small grits soaked in milk. As soon as they have gained a little strength, feed them with curd, cheese parings cut small, boiled corn, or any soft food< 'I t 1 I! h i842. NOVEMBER begins on Tuesday.

It may be held as a general rule, that stables or cow houses are too close when on entering the breath is affeujted, or any smell of urine can be perceived. It is also very important to keep cow-houses, or cattle stables clean and well littered. Dung left in stables soon renders the air unwhole- some, and is the cause of disorders.

Ul! HINTS TO YOUNG FARMERS. Never be above your calling, nor be afraid of the frock brid the apron. Put off no business till to-morrow, which ou^ht and can be done to day. As soon as the Spring opens, and the frost is out of the ground put your fences in order. Plant no more ground than you can well manure and cultivate to advantage. Never hire a man to do a piece of work which you can do yourself Every day has its appropriate duties ; attend to them in suc- cession. Keep no more stock than you can keep in order, and that of the best kind. Never contract a debt without a reasonable probability of pay- incr at the lime agreed upon. Remember that economy and industry are the two great pillars of the Farmer's prosperity. Should you take any Periodical Journal, pay for it in advance Never carry your notes in your pocket-book, as the desk or trunk is a more appropriate place. Keep them on file, and in order, ready to be found when wanted. Keep a place for your tools, and your tools in their places. Instead of spending a rainy day at the dram-shop, as manj ' o to their ruin, repair whatever wants mending; post your books. Drive your business, and do not permit your business to drive you. Never trust your money in,thc hands of that man who will put his own to hazard. When a debt becomes due, pay it at the time, whether your creditor wants it or not. Never ask him to ^'toaittill next week" but pay it. Never insult him by saying, "you do not want it. Punctuality is a key to every man's chest. Always have one of Belcher's Almanacks in the house. Hy constant temperance, habitual, moderate exercise, and unaffected honesty, you will avoid the fees of the lawyer and the sheriff, gain a good report, and probably add at least ten years to your life. When a friend calls to see you, treat him with the utmost com- plaisance ; but if important business call your attention, politely excuse yourself and he will excuse you. j Should you think of building a house, be not in a hurry, butj jfirst have every material on the spot, and let your cellar be as large as the frame. Keep a memorandum book ; enter all not'^, whether received or given ; all monies received or paid out ', «.il expenses, and ail circumstances of importance. }i ^w^ \^^< > ^ IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) 1.0 I.I IM 125 ■^ 1^ 1122 ^ W V^ 1'* < 6" ► Photographic Sciences Corporation 23 WEST MAIN STREET WEBSTER, N.Y. 14580 (716)872-4503 «- ■^' V^ '% %*■ vtsm ■■■«>■ FARMER S ALMANACK. 1842.
