south-west, the second from the south, and 
the third from tho south-west, or some oth¬ 
er direction. It is very seldom that tho 
motion of all the clouds correspond with tho 
current of wind as indicated by tho vane* 
Tho force of tho wind should be noted as 
nearly as possible. A cipher or 0 indicates : 
a perfect calm; l,a light breeze which just 
moves tho foliage or fans tho face; 2 , a wind j 
which moves the branches of tho trees, and i 
produces something of a rushing sound in 
the atmosphere; e, a wind that causes tho 
strong boughs and entire trees to rock or 
bow—also makes walking against it difficult 
—and during which a strong rushing sound 
is heard in tho air away from trees; 4, a 
storm-wind wind which takes off the boughs 
of trees and sometimes prostrates trees, 
houses, &c. 
The aspect of the expanse,.whethor clear 
or cloudy should be noted. If tho sky is 
cloudless, mark the day with a 0 ; if wholly 
clouded 10 ; tho same when a dense fog 
lies on the ground, or when rain hides the 
entire horizon; and 1, 2, 3, &c., indicating 
the different degrees of cloudiness between 
tho extremes 0 and 10 . 1 , for example, de¬ 
notes nine times as much clear sky as clouds, 
and 9 , nine times inoro clouds than clear 
sky. Or tho aspect of tho sky may bo 
marked from day to day as follows:-— Wcl. 
wholly clear; CL, clear—i. e., when two- 
'thirds of the sky is unclouded during the 
day; M. when tho quantity of tho blue sky 
is about oqual to that which is covered with 
clouds; C., cloudy—when a much larger 
portion of* tho sky is cloudy than clear; 
Oi\, overcast—when tho clouds are rarely 
broken ; Cov., covored—when no clear sky 
is visible. 
The clouds with regard to their form may 
be registered according to Howard’s classi¬ 
fication—and distinguished as follows : 
1 . Cir. —Cirrus, tho cats-tail of sailors, or 
tho SW. clouds of the Swiss poasants—or 
the mare’s tail of tho New England farmer, 
is composed of thin filaments, resembling a 
brush, at other timos woolly-hair, and some¬ 
times slender net-work. 
2 . Cu .—Cumulus or summer-cloud—ball 
of cotton of sailors — frequently presents 
itself in tho form of a hemisphere resting 
on a horizontal base. Sometimes those are 
built one upon another, and form those 
groat clouds that accumulate on tho hori¬ 
zon, and resemble at a distance mountains 
covered with snow. 
3 . St. —Stratus, a horizontal band form¬ 
ing at sunset and disappearing at sun-rise. 
The secondary kinds and transitions are 
noted as follows : * 
4 . Cir. St. —Cirro-Stratus. 
5. Cu. St. —Cumulo-Stratus. 
G. Cir. Cu. —Cirro-Cumulus.

and clouds, whether they aro over or near 
the place of observation, or at a distance—

Other Moteoric phenomena, such as solar 
and lunar halos, mock-suns and mock-moons, 
falling meteors, rainbows, whether morning 
or evening, solar or lunar, tho redness of 
the sky both morning and evening, color of

heat-lightning, aurora borealis, auroral 
clouds, zodiacal light, and all other meteor¬ 
ological phenemena. 
Tho times for observation fixod upon by 
tho Smithsonian Institute, aro G o’clock in 
the morning, 2 in tho afternoon and 10 in 
the evening. 
We have condensed a part of these in¬ 
structions from the official directions given 
tho observers at tho Meteorological Station^ 
in Prussia. They aro nearly or quite in- 
dentical with tlioso of tho Smithsonian In¬ 
stitute. b, w. 
Hop Roots. — An Inquiry. —Mr. Jesse 
Platt, of Lisbon, N. Y., writos us as fol¬ 
low's : “ I want you to inform me whore I 
can obtain hop roots: how many are needed 
to plant an acre, and tho price ?” Can any 
of our readers furnish tho desired informa¬ 
tion ? 
Farmer’s sons had better learn to hold 
tho plow and feed tho pigs, than to measure 
tape and count buttons. . i 
TIMBER. 
Growing timber may become as profit¬ 
able as most other crops,” says a recent ed¬ 
itorial article in the Rural. 
“ But we must wait so long belore wo can 
reap any benefit from our labor.” That 
depends upon circumstances. If we wish 
to raise timber for market, or for our own 
immediate use, tho time seems long indeed, j 
and we may never realize the fruits of our j 
labor, but our children will. Now, if our [ 
object be to provide for our children, (and 
what other object have we in our unceasing 
toil ?) certainly, this is one way in which we 
can benefit them efficiently. The cultivation 
of a growth of young timber would be an 
“ annuity in reversion,” at compound inter-' 
est, to be drawn, not by us, but by them. 
It is not, however, necessarily true, that 
even w'o shall derive no pecuniary advan¬ 
tage from the cultivation of a new growth 
of timber. There are some kinds of tim¬ 
ber that will become of sufficient size in fif¬ 
teen to twenty or twenty-five years, to be 
valuable in market. If the timber be of a 
kind that will sprout again from the root, a 
few acres will thus become a source of per- 
jrotual income. 
Not long since, I read of a gentleman 
who, upon his first setting out in life, plant¬ 
ed fourteen acres of partially exhausted 
soil with the locust. After cultivating the 
same for a few years, he left tho plantation 
to itself. When his oldest son became of 
age, he cut from his forest, timber to the 
value of $1,000, which ho gave to his son 
as a portion, lie did the same for each of 
his other children as they respectively be¬ 
came of age, and still his forest continued 
productive. The less saleable portions fur¬ 
nished him with fuel for his own use, and 
for market, sufficient to pay the interest on 
the value of tho land. It is true, every 
kind of timber may not be equally produc¬ 
tive, nor all situations equally favorable; 
but that tho cultivation of timber of various 
kinds in any place or situation where there 
is not a surplus, may become a profitable 
business in the end, there can be no doubt. 
But there is another view that may be 
taken of the subject. In many parts of the 
country, timbered lands are far more valu¬ 
able than those under cultivation. In these 
places, much of the land is in a more or less 
exhausted condition, and hence diminished, 
and aro still diminishing in value. Lot 
these lands, or portions of them, bo sown 
with tho seeds of forest trees, ami their 
value would do greatly increased; and lands 
that now would scarcely find a market, 
would then find ready sale. Tho seeds 
should bo planted in drills or rows, three or 
four feet apart, and may be from a few in¬ 
ches to a few feet apart in the row. The 
object of this is, to have them cover the 
ground as soon as possible; which they will 
do in a few years, if tho grass and weeds bo 
kept down as they should be. As soon as 
they become of sufficient size, they may be 
thinned out, and the superfluous ones set 
out in other places. The thinning and 
transplanting may be continued till they 
become too large to be removed, or suffi¬ 
ciently distant in tho row. They may final¬ 
ly be allowed to remain at various distances 
from five to twenty feet apart, and if found 
too close, may afterwards be cut away for 
use. 
Farmers, do you wish to increase the val¬ 
ue of your lands ? There are very few 
farms in the older portions of the country, 
that may not be improved in this way—very 
few that have not some portions of unpro¬ 
ductive, or partially exhausted soil, which 
would be increased in present or prospect¬ 
ive value, by being sown or planted with 
forest trees. Try the measure then, and 
while you benefit your own children, you 
will also benefit your country, and save it 
from becoming a scone of desolation. 
I have mentioned poor, or partially ex¬ 
hausted lands, not because they aro best, 
but because they can be most easily spared 
Forest trees, like all others, w'ould pay well 
for a good soil and good culture. H.

P. S. For the Boys. —Do you w ish, boys, 
to preparo fuel, timber, or a “ sap-bush,” for 
yourselves in after life ? You can do it.— 
Coax your fathers to let you you have a 
piece of ground if it be but quarter of an 
acre, or even less. Gather the seeds of the 
maple, and other trees, such as you wish, 
or take young trees from the woods*—pre¬ 
pare your ground as if for a crop—plant 
your seeds or trees, and cultivate for a few 
years, as shown above, and yqur object will 
bo gained. Make a beginning, and others 
will follow your example. You will never 
regret it. Commenco at the earliest op¬ 
portunity. h. 
*They may I e found in any maple forest, from a few 
inches te a few feet high. 
Cows well fed in winter give more milk in 
summer. An ox that is in good condition in 
the spring will perform more labor, and 
stand the heat of summer better, than one 
that is poor.
