258 INTRODUCTION. 



The BRASS cold from the fnov/ mekino; irf 

 Lapland in the beginning of the fruiting feafon. 



The IRON cold from the freezing on the 

 Lapland alps in the middle of the fowing feafon. 



Thefe colds do not happen v/ith us the fame 

 nio-ht as in Lapland, but arrive in about 8 days. 



On thefe and fuch like calendars vulgar prac- 

 tical hufbandry ought to be eftabliihed •, but the 

 foundation hitherto not having been fufFiciently 

 well laid, this method is become fo much out 

 of ufe, that it is even looked upon as abfurd 

 and chimerical ; neverthelefs it may and ought 

 to be carried fo far, that no prudent oeconomift 

 will choofe to be without fuch a guide, and the 

 hufbandman fhall find it the fureft way to re- 

 gulate his affairs by, not to mention other par- 

 ticulars.
