COLD W lNTK.lt AHKAD. Pnuuiylvanla Prophets ?ay no, Anyht/W, on Nature Dope. The annual convention of "weatb- ; er phophets" of berks county was heiu at Maxatawuy, about a mile from here, when fifty farmers met j to make the annual predictions for the coming winter, says a Kunztown, l a., special. Some declared 1 that the winter will be long and : evere, while others maintained ! that it will be mild. Several declared that they are preparing for a hard and long win- ' ter, because the red squirrels and ' chipmunks have become very busy layiug in their winter food store, > even going to the extent of collecting green chestnut burrs, breaking them open and hiding away for future use the unripe chestnuts. The farmers declared that they never before knew the squirrels to op- j en green chestnut burrs or to begin storing food ao early in the j (all. The fact that the chestnut crop was an unusually large one tais year is said to be a good rea- j son why the winter will be long and J severe, as plenty of nuts were pre- , pared for the tiny forest animals to tide them over until spring. Others said that ground hogs . burrowed their way into the earth earlier than usual, which indicates a cool winter. .They say it has been many years since the ground j \ bogs hibernated so early. Other | prophets argue that thin corn husks j' mean a mild winter. Tall Weeds Indicate Snow. < Some of the farmers contend that ] the weeds have grown to an unusu- ' j al height this year, and that this I, indicates a severe winter and lotsj; of snow, since nature causes the I weeds to grow tall so that birds can feed upon the seeds when the!, ground is covered with. snow. A i' close observer of weather conditions j said: "A dry summer is Invariably followed by a winter with lota of'< Snow. The average rainfall each 1 < year is about six inches. We are t still far from the mark and ? we ^ can expect lots of snow to make up t for It. A wet fall always means an i early winter. This is accounted for by the fact that the rain has already cooled the earth and the cold has a good start." Had th^ Right Kind. A young preacher went fishing for trout, accompanied by a couple of girls from his parish. A farm- j er who was also out fishing called to the young clergyman: "Ketchen' many trout?" ( "I am a fisher of men," said the j young preacher with uignity. "Well," the farmer smiled, and then looking at the girls, said: I see you've got the right kind of bait with you." As compared with form and color, words, in the mind's infancy are but an imperfect means of convey- j lng adequate notions of things. r-A immmuiiai | H O S i : i B | I Hackney | j Bugg f In btfh buggi?? and % stands Tor all thae quail tie * embrace strength, di + and llghtoeflB In running.
