Explanation of Characters, Sfc. in the Calendar Pages. # Moon Apogee signify that the Moon is then fartherest from the Earth. 8 Opposition. A planet is said to be in opposition when it is on the side of the earth opposite to the Sun. When a planet is in opposition it rises about the time of the Sun'j setting, sets about the time of his risking, and is on the me* ridian at midnight, -j*?^ Aphelion is that poin^t of a planet's orbit which is at the % greatest distance from the Sun. fl Nodes are the two points where the orbit of a planet *, seems to intersect the ecliptic. That wliere the planet ap*^ j ;^ .f pears to ascend from the south to the north side of the eclip- "f^.'^W V tic, is called the ascending Node ; the oj^posite j[)oint, whbriv :>-^ J':. lysi^'^-'- ..■-%; *<^,.... ■ ^ •■"■"-'fci.. ,•*"»—-»'.* *w""* ''i*i>-S2^-*!4iV ijr*' •#T P- : # ''^t the planet appears to descend from tlic north to the south, 15 called the descending Node. Loxftitiute ot' a planet is its distance front the beginning of ,Aries, reckoned on the ecliptic to the east. L.alitude of a planet is its distance from the ecliptic either north or south. Stalionnri/. A planet is said to be stationary when to an observer on the earth, It appears for some time at the same point in the heavens. Direct. I he motion of a planet is said to be direct, when It moves forward to the east, actonlinj^ to the order ot' the signs. betrrtgrn(/e, is when a planet appears to move back< wards, or contrary to the order of the signs. Occultafton is the ol>^curati(|M|y)iding from our sight of any star or planet, by the in^^^f^n of the body of ttie Moon or some other planet. H^^^H 6 Conjnndion. Two hca^^^HJPdies are said to be in conjunction when they are bwPliri the same side of the earth. When two planets are in conjunction they rise, come "^ to the meridian, and set at the same time. V Greatest Elongation of an infe. ior planet, is when tho planet appears to be at its greate t distance either east or west from the Sun, that can be in ihat revolution. 5 ** ■M HEAVENLY BODIES. A haziness in the air which fades t' e sun's li<>ht, and makes thfr orb appear whitish, or ill defined ; or at nijjiu, if the moon or stars grow dim, and a ring encircles the former, rain will follow. If the sun's rays appear like Moses* horns, white at setting, or shorn of its rays, or goes down into ai>ank of clouds in the horizon, bud weather is to he expected. > If the moon looks [)a!e and dim, we expect rain ; if red. wind ; and if of her natural colour, with a clear fair sky, fair weather. If the moon is rainy throughout, it will clear at the chani>e, and perhnps the ruin return a tew days after. If fair throughout ai^d rain at the change, the fair weather wilt probably return on the fourth \>r fifth day. ■■M. t IK f PERPETUAL WEATHER T^^LE, ., , „ . •t / BY DOCTOR HRRSCHEL.^^ e #«* The following Table, constructed by the celebrated Docfroi* Herschel, upon a Philosophical consideration cf the attraction of the Sun and Moon, in their -ovtral positions as to the eartli, and confirmed by the experience of many years actual observation, may, without doubt, suggest to the observer what kind of weather viU probably follow Che Moon's entrance into any one of hez > > ffif IHK B ^ HP ^ X HW ?*l«"( ^**- * e south,, ^ginning ic either en to an lie same ct, when ir ot' the re back- sight of V of the to be in Q of the ie, come hen the eai»t or I lakes tho- I or stars .

Fair weather may also follow when either of the periodical changes occur during the afternoon six hours, viz. from four to ten, but this is mostly dependent on the wind. The Moon's entrance during all the hours after midnight, except the two first, is unfavorable lo fair weather. The like may nearly ba observed in Winter. - LIST OF ADVOCATES IN MONTREVL.

If any (ranch, in the middle of the tree, rises with too much luxuriaiicf alK.'vt; the rest, in full sappy wood, we uujit cut it off clo-e to tl.e bidy <»f the tree, but t:.ke care we do not injure the bark oi tin- girat wood we take it front ; for iuch a wound would endanger tlu; hearth of the tree, th; womuled part would be a Ion* time rt'overin!:. and be subject to ranktr. . 2d. 1 l.ertf are matiy people wit their pruning knives constantly in hand. Btil the continu;d prun ng ot a tri-e ninkes it shoot into false wood, and miscarry of its luii's designed ftir fruit. 'l"he reason why trees shoot more into wocd when they have been largely pruned, i.^ beiause the root had lied itself with juices proportion- able to the nourishment its stan ing branches required ; but whi:a niuny of thetn are cut away, she same fund goes to the remaining "^^^ftf^-r-Y, ■.*^Jt^^-M^- \ Ijiids that was destined to support many more; and thus a too luv uiiant growth will be produceiJ on the limbs which are left. ."^d When a tree is in good order, we must take care not to prune it too close, or take away too much wood inside. It may be remarked, also, that we must adttiit more sun and air in a strong or wet soil, t an in a dry, sandy one; hccaui>e the formei' naturaU ly produces insiped fruit, whiie the latter generally ripens frui( better. 4th. Winter fruit should have their shoots left wider asunder- than summer, the latter not wanting so much sun as the former.-— Trees which made weak shoots the year before should be pruned ■ in January, or earlier; hut vigorous trees should be pruned late in the year, in April, or even May, in which case they will bring less wood and more fruit. 5th. We must consider the climate in which we live, and direct our practice according to the degree of heat and cold. In hot couiitrie!! the fruit mmt be gathered sooner than in colder ones, because the sap has performed its work sooner. Fruit will keep langi'i'. 'he longer it is suffei^ed to remain on the tree. We should gatJier fiuit after frost, for we are then sure the sap will no longer aid it. Gtii. In gathering fruits it should be done with' care and pa- tience ; we should avoiil destroying the blossom buds -which are near them, or which join them ; fur the buds are already formed for the next years fruit. Apples are much harder to gather tha.n-. pears, being more closely fastened to the tree, and with shorter stalks. 7th. In hot, dry years, if it is very hot in August and Septeni* ber, our fruits should he gathered early in October ; for such fruit as has had a good share of ripening on the tree, lasts but a short time, and is very subject to rot; but if August and September be very cold, then \ti the fruit be left on till the last of October, and • it will keep well. laccount this one of the most important ob< servations with regard to fruit: mh. Those who prefer large, fine fair fruit, should thin the fruit early ; and if the tree, in its first or second sap, tends to shoot abundance of wood, it should be pinched off while it is tender and . young, but never cut while the sap is flowing, because the tree, by cutting, at that time is apt to run into wood, and the blossom buds • are disappointed. N R. The blossom buds are formed by the first sap, between April and June, and filled by the second, betwcea • July and October. 9th. We find some trees more apt to shoot into wood branches ' than others. Such Trees should have their branches left long in pruning ; but those shoots which are loaded with blossom buds should be shortened, that the reraaitnng buds may nourish the fruit better. loth. It is necessary, the first and second year after planting a ^ tree, to prune it very short, to make it shoot into wood ; and if, in foUowmg years, it does not come into bearing, but keeps shoot- ing unpi'ofitaBle \TOod; a» is common with the Jier^'imolle, Bom^ C 2 ^M^-.. - , - •■ ------ — -.^_^ K'S' ^-^-vM*^ ' oi , 1 '- " > s^/?/, and Virgoulottse penrt, ?r\d some others, then leave ever j? jhoot very long. Of all the so: ts of pears, none will hear pruning so chort as the Winter Bon Creiien ; for then it will give large wood and larger fruit. 1 1th. In priininp, we must have regard to soil and climate.— If it be wet and cold, we must prune the tree very open ; hut in light, sandy ground*, where fmit is always good, though it is small- er, the pruning should he d ferent. Wounds ma e by pruning, heal with very great difficul . in very hot, dry lai d ; and I have known them entirely perish hy pruning. 12th. When a tree looks yellow, pluck it up and plant another. It is not worth the trouble of pruning and culture. But if it be a rare sort we may recover it ly mud that has been well turned and dried, and hogs' dung laid ;ibout the roots. If we find that pear or quince stocks do not answer a particular soil, take them up and plant those on free stocks; if they fail, plant apples ; in short, liuit your trees to your soil, otherwise all your labor is lost. i.'Jth. Pear trees, in thiir soil, should be planted shallow, that the roots n»iy spread ; fei»» or straw is a great protection in sum- iTiCr to the roots, and vasth encourages thcdr growth. — People fond of raising fruit, should keep free storks ready to engraft, but never use suckers, they are good for nothing. 14th. When we graft a young or old tree, we should do it as nearly equal on each side as possible, otherwise that which is not engrafted will run away with the nouhishment from the tirafts.— This is of less consequence in budding, as this does not affect the tree w much. When trees are transplanted, the holes should be Tiiade as large as possible, and the ends of the roots cut away, and . Ihe small fibrea ivk^ii o& ; for they are apt to rot and infect the great roots. 1 Jth. When you plant a wild stock for graftinjr, be as careful as if it was the finest fruit. This is apt to he neglected, though this Stock is to be the foundation of all our work. 16th. When we transplant a tree, never fail to plant the same side towards the south which stood so before. We must also de- fend, as much as possible, the wound made by grafting from the violence of the sun. 17th. In dry, sandy ground, plant trees in autumn, and in moist^ watery places, in spring, otherwise the winter is apt to chill and kill them. Apples find pears, though more hardy than some others, are still »ore apt to Ix' hurt by water i.tan<||ng round them. In moist groiiiiJs, it is good to open the holes in the fall, and let the inoculated upon uutumn pears, &c but never ^raft or bud a winter- pear on a summer one, for t'le sap of the summer pear will decline- or diminish before the winter fruit is suHlciently grown. ^gricuUuraL Extract of an Addres* from the Hon. G. H. Marklavd, delivered' in October last, to the ( U. C.) Frontcnac Agricultural Sociclj/. *' One of the best assistants to agriculture is experiment. From the land proprietor whom lonjj; residence and competency h^ve rendered independent, we have a right to look for nmch in this respect. And no mode can be more securely adopted than that of gradually introducing improvements which have elsewhere been proved by the test of experience. It cannot be urged that the want of wealth, or climate is an obstacle to those attempts, for they may be made upon the very smallest scale, without risking any moie than the labour required for their performance. " I am too vtrell aware of the importance of uniting economy with skill in agriculture, to recommend waste in sjieculative pur- suits which have not been proved by previous trial, but one of the chief defects in our system is an indifference to the introduction of advantajres which others are enjoying and which have been source* of wealth to them. No circumstance proves this fact more clearly than the little pains which is taken to improve the breed of cattle. Yet what an intmense difference is there in the quality of the vari- ous domestic animals. Look for instance, at sheep which are easi« ly raised in this country and s.re of such public and private utility. The food they require is generally of the coarsest kind and gives little trouble in the selection, while that which they supply is of the most delicate nature, so suited to every taste as to command a ready marker. The wool they yield furnishes cloathing necessa- ry for the climate and occupies that part of your families which has most leisure and is most proper for such employment. Yet who among us all has ever taken much trouble to procure that kind which will furnish most of this valuable food and necessary cloathing. " That useful animal the Ox, the labour of which is constantly required and «o. certainly employed, affords advantages whick should claim the highest attention. The expense ot procuring tixfiox k very much siuaUer than that of horses, iuad they come bet« ^^^"tD;->*r8!*s / fefar^* " mu^ *■• rf ffer within the menns ofall classes. The difEfiuIty in keeping them is consiJrrabiy less, and the avcrjpe work they perform will be iomul ncnrly equal. They also combine an article of food, with t^ie profit derived fronj thi'ir hibonr, and dfter having performed essential services, may be sold for a different purpose. Yet not- withstiindinc all th<-se considerations, I fear little trouble is taken to procure the most haniy . active and I'rofititbie kinds. *' The Milch Cow, which produces to us so many gratifications of taste, by means o* those wholesome nutriments Milk, Dutter and Cheese, offers amfile remuneration for any trouble which tnay be taken to improve the breed. Their value does not depend io much upon the quantity ah the qiialil> of the milk which they give, yet kept as tlicy are, together without distinction, I atn per!iu>rtled that very many of the FiiraieM have ainonj; their stock animals of this description which do not afK>rd |ii-ofit enough to pay fur^iicir food — notliinn can-t^e more easy than to detect this U8elebsn<-ss by srp- anitiiig their produce and ascertaining its woith. In this way the Taluiil)le animal wouki t>e discovered and iti- yoiHig stock raised} \rhile that of the others .<:.'ouid Ihi f ttcned for market. *' Pork should l>c on^? of our staple commoditied, and therefore deserve-* particular rcniiU'k. The variety inthe quality of swine, you perhaps ;^!l understand, tho* I fear too many are content to take the trouble of penning and fattening the very worst kinds. Hiose which have least bone, most flesh, and fatten easily mutt produce greatest profit, and that there are some of this description particularly superior, I' have no doubt, from having seen a well attested account of one oi' those animals which at seven months weighed 227' pounds " Last tho* not" with l^ast interest, T would wish to draw your attention to the breed of hordes. This noble and TiTghly valuable, animal, has been so much neglected among us of late, as to make it qiiite a reproach. The better sort is not to be found, yet no coun< try caa produce the food and every thing necessary- for raising them ■ in greater abundance. This inattention is really rubbing yourselves of an important benefit; for ah ho' pains may not be tiiken here to rear the best animals, it will be done elsewhere, and in consequence the suppli' which i« required carries off* the ready money that would otherwise circulate among you. The value of a ^ood horse is always double that of a bad one, and you should recollect, that the worthless beast of every kind eats as much food, and requires as much care as the good one. Bssides, when you consider how Sreatly this fine creature contributes to our wants, how much should I be prised; in hbour what activity and strength is displayed in procuring us the most solid advantages. During our moments of pleasure, with what flectness ami security doed it transport us from place to pidce ;. while, when business calls us to a distance, it ena> bles us to accomplish our journey with eas^>, and at our will res> tores Uo hon:e again. Gentlemen, it is quite undeniable that not only our ztcck h inferior to what it should be, but our fields are worse cultivated than those in other countries which do not possess greater advan- tages. Yet vhs is Ibis ? In agncultore 94 ia ever> tULig eltiCj be* ■-J:^X«^ >|E , It ena« fore a remedy can be applied to disordef, it is necessary to inquire into the nature of the cause. I see many of you ready to reply, that its neglected state is ow inp to the want of demand ft)r its pro- ductions. Then one step further carries us into an inquiry why that demand is not greater. To that I answer, not because there is no market, but owing to the inferior quality of the commodities which are offered — Flour, one of the chief productions of the country, is an aiticle of constant demand in the West Indies, and by a late law regulating the trade with those Islands, we are ex- cnjpt from duties which other importers therein are forced to pay. Yet these advantages are lost to us because no merchant dares make a contract for the delivery of the commodity, at such a dis- tance, owing to the slovenly manner in which it is manufactured and the want of care in packing. Thus the people of the United. States afford the ^^hief supply to His Majesty's pos'tessions which might furnish a lucrative trade to us. They transport their bread stuff from the Genessee Country, to New-York, and tliere ship it for the West Indies', while they wonder at the calm unconcern of Canadians who take not the least trouble to interrupt their full en- joyment of t>o good a market. How, you will say, is this to be a- voided while we make use of the best mode that is afforded us of getting our grain manufactured ? Certainly, by transporting your- wheat for one or two seasons to the Merchant until the persons owning mills procure such laachinery as will not spoil your produce and throw you out of a most important advantage. A bushel of good wheat will always aflfbrd a better price than the flour of the same badly manufactured, while the merchant knowing that his best interest is to have it well prepared, will by proper precautiort, procure for your produce a good character, and cause it to be sought after instead of rejected. To p«"ove that there is real cause of complaint aga nst the flour made here, I knovv instances where not more than ten Iwrrels out of 100 have passed (or fine on in- spection in the Montreal market, which must always be the stand- ard, and where they very wisely consider, that it is not worth while transporting a bad article thousands of miles, while a good one would only occupy the sime space, and cost tlie same freight. — This lamcntahle infnioriiy, is not always, however, caused by the ^ manufactuicr. — It too frequently happens tliat the farmer's desire for a greater quantity, ruiu^ the quality and thus prodi^ces the con- sequent low price, anti want ot' demand, •* You have the chief tiicumstance necessary to profit in acricul- ture ; in the qiialiiv of soil, if yon woidd apj)ly skill Sj economy in em- ploying your labour, i^ attention totheuutuie ofwhat}ou produced* THE FARMERS CRKED.
