370 REPORT OF THE FARM: SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
METEOROLOGY FOR 1888. 
The past season has seemed a comparatively cold one to those 
who are aécustomed to this locality. There has been a great deal 
of wind, often rising in the morning and going down at evening. 
This, if not a normal characteristic of the neighborhood, may, from 
its drying and cooling effect, account in part for the impression 
that the season has been colder than usual. 
The monthly extremes of temperature together with the monthly 
means of the three previous years have been as follows:

Inspecting the table of mean monthly temperatures one finds four 
months to have been warmer than the mean of the corresponding 
months of the three years 1885-6 and 7, while seven have been 
colder. Adding the differences of temperature between the months 
of 1888 which were found warmer than the mean, and also those 
where these months were colder, and subtracting, gives 12.2° cy
