Column. ^^ 1 & 2. — GontaJ^lhe days of the month and of the week. 3 & 4. — Therising and setting in mean time of the highest point, or m the upper limb of the Sun, corrected for ^fraction. 5. — Days length in hours and minutes. | , 6. — The Equation of Time (or quantity by which the Sun ia flow or fast of the clock) at noon, apparent time (not mean) at Greenwich, or at a quarter before eight in the morning at Halifax. The interval of time between the Sun being on the Meridian or Southing, on one day, and his being on the Meridian or Southing on the next day, is not ahvay the same; and therefore, solar days are not equal in dura- tion ; about one-half are a little more, and about one^ half are a little less than 24 hours. A clock regu- lated by the Sun, or the Sun-dial, would need frequentl adjustment ; to avoid this, an imaginary sun is supposed to! move, so that the interval of time between its consecutiv^ passages over the meridian is always the same, viz.,^ hours ; such a time represents a mean solar day, and. * the average of all the apparent solar days in a year, j.'jbe! difference of time between the imaginary Sun and tm-^ true Sun passing the Meridian, is called the **Equanon ofj Time," the amount of which at noon on every day i» inserted in this column. There are only 4 days in the year!] when apparent and meantime are the same, or the Equation" of time is nothing. In this year these days are April 16J June 16, Sept. 1, and Deer. 25. By the assistance of the numbers in this column, a clock can be set by a Sun-dial as follows ;— When/a«f is placed above the number opposite to the day, then the clock ought to be set fast on the time shown by the Sun-dial— and when slow is above the number, the clock ought to be I set so much slower. Example :— When the Sun shows noon on the Sundial on June 1, and July 1, what are the s '^y. 1851. ALMANACK. true times ? On June 1, from the Almanack, the Equa- tion of time is substract 2m. 348., therefore the clock should be 2m. 349. beCore noon, so the true time is llh. 57m. 26s. A.M. On July 1, the Equation of Time is, add 3m. 228., tJierefore the clock should be 8m. 228. afternoon, or the time is Oh. 3m. 22s. P. M. The greatest difference between mean time (common clock time) and apparent time (time as shewn by the Sun-dial) occurs on the 3rd Novr., and it is 16m. 17s. subtractive. On the 12th February the greatest additive difference occurs, viz. 14m. 32s. 7. — The Sun's declination for the same as the Equation, 6th col. 8. — The rising or setting of the Moon — ihe setting being given from the New to Full moon, and the rising from Full to New Moon. 9. — The place of the Moon in the EcMpt'c. 10.— The lime of the Moon's southing or passing the meridian. This column also shews the time of High Water at Wind- sor, Parrsboro', Horton, Cornwallis, &c. 11. — Days increase or decrease in hours and minutes. The top of the columns of each month shows the Moon's phases, or the times of New and Full Moon, and of the first and last quarters, oV two quadratures with the sun. '' The Farmer's Calendar, is placed at the foot of the columns of '^ach month.

SOm. — at Annapolis and St. John, N. B. lib. 4m. — at Charlottetown, P. E. Island lOh. 55m. — and at St. Johns, New- dland 6h. 30ni. All the calculations in this Ahniinack are made to I solar time, a mode of computation now in general use, and which will very soon (if it has not already done so) supercede the old mode of reckoning. Those persons, however, who may prefer to use apparent |time, the calculations will be equally useful, as mean time can be con ivei ted into app-jteat time by subtracting the quantity in the 6th column of the left hand page, when ths Sun is slow of clock, and adding it when l/flwf f clock. Thus on tht Ist Feb. the sun rises in meantime at 7h. j20m. and sets at 5h. 8m. from which substract ISrr. the quantity by jwhich the sun is that day too slow, and obtain 7h. 7m. and 5h. 56m. the 'o^arent time* - - '^ --; v^^. ;,,.;«;■•,'(';,-. >td' ^ . ^^V' ■ ."/,,i; 1 As for the Weather, we are still determined to have a gueta at it, hit or mis?, and we hope that at least, they will be as often right as wrong ; at any rate, we shall endeavour not to confound winter snows with sum mer thowers. i^ I 1851.

I -■■■ sandy soil, is clay — common clay, although composed chiefly of sand or sil<)X, owes its adhesiveness to another substance it con-i tains, called alumina ; and hence, by the application of clay, the adhesive principle is increased. A coating of stiff clay, two or jlhree inches thick will convert almost any sandy soil into a good loam. Several kinds of plants have a beneficial effect in binding sandy soils. Spurry is much prized in Europe for the improve- ment of sandy soils' Professor Johnston says '^ of all food for cattle spurry grows best on a light, sandy soil. In Europe it is considered exceedingly milk-producing for the cow." It is cultivated largely on the sandy soils of Flanders, and is the most [nourishing, in proportion to its bulk, of all forage, and gives the ibest flavoured milk and butter. \ V, 'a ■»'«..«• |3 I 1851.

From thenceforth her life is one of unremitting toil. lit is nothing but mend and botch, cook and iake, wash and iron, churn and {make cheese, pick up chips and draw water, bear children and nurse them. The family enlarges, the husband grows wealthy, becomes important in the jcommunity. takes his ease when he chooses; but the cares of his faded and broken down wife know no relaxation. She nriay outlive her husband ; but rarely does, and not unfrequently a second wife comes in to share in the money that should have been enjoyed by her predecessor, through a q^uiet old age of rest. This is no fancy sketch. It is drawn from life, and m every country-town and neighbourhood, its truthfulness will be recognised. From this life, the girls of our day are learning to shrink ; not because they are lazy, but because they know that they are to be sacrificed. Not because the calling of the farmer is not respectable,' but because they do not wish to he come his mistress, maid-of-all-work, nurse and boot- jack. J -/.» ^^•^' /r ^'^ / f I - 4 1651.

Thay generally ! suppose they have done all that is necessary in this matter, when they have furnished a furrow, or shallow channel sufficient to draw off the surface water before it rots the seeds, or scalds out a young crop of corn or other grain. The want of suitable drainage, is the most common cause of the failure of the crops ; yet the disappointed farmer is often seen looking around him in I % • ^\> ^S I.W. lorizon. E.

It is one thing to let stock shift for themf jselves, and quite another thing to take care of them. The differ- ence is, that in one way your stock is brought out in good con- dition in spring, while in the other they are, if brought out alivej jmere skeletons with skins on. The advantages of sheltering animals by stables and sheds, are better understood now than jformerly ; although the old practice still lingers on some farrasJ where the shivering and bellowing animals speak forthemselvesJ as to its effects.

Jheds, high and dry, and open at the south, are the best fori |heep~this gives them sufficient air, and is better for their »enlth than close stables. The worst storms for sheep, are the! :old rains with easterly winds ; and if they are not sheltered,! [hey are drenched through, and when the weather changes to pold, the wool freezes on them ; and if they are low in flesh, leath is often the consequence.
