It they do, their major remise in this case is: "When fe come out of our winter quar ers on the second day of February nd find the sun shining so that /e can see our shadow, that [leans that, the weather will he nntry for 40 days longer." The linor premise is : "When we ame ex hiberna on the second of ^ebruarv. the sun was shininer so right that, we could see our hadow." Therefore, the weather i going to be rough for 40 days lore. But if the ground hog reasoned lius we are at a loss to know how e was able to form his syllogism low did he got the information ontained in the major premise ? laybe he just knew it from inlinct. Then if be knew that inch from instinct, why was he ot able to know from instinct he character ot the weather for he next 40 days after a sunshiny econd of February, without com ng out of his warm nest ?
