2S6 THE WEATHER, 17, 



now more than leven years fince that work 

 was written; durhig which period I have 

 continued to pay, in the fummer months of 

 almofl every year, ftricl attention to the 

 weather. My fuccefs has been almoft uni- 

 form, much beyond any thing my expedlation 

 could have fliggefted. 



My THEORY and practice flill remain 

 •unchanged. The setting sun and the ba- 

 rometer, taken 7>/«//y, not feparately, have 

 been my chief dependance : other appear- 

 ances, the WIND, and the degree of heat, 

 have, in doubtful cafes, lent their afiiftance. 



'What I mean to fay further on the fub- 

 jedat prefent is, to recommend to every man 

 eoncerned in matters of hufbandry to pay due 

 attention to the weather. 1 know from my own 

 experience (even though I may have been in 

 fome degree fortunate) that much may be 

 faved by it. 



He muft not, however, expeflthat a fore- 

 knowledge of the weather is readily learnt : 

 like holding the plow, and judging the qua- 

 lit^- of ftock, it requires confiderablc prac-i
