 MORNING AND EVENING PLANETS. 
 
 Mercury, the least of the Six Old Planets is hut seldom seen 
 by the naked eye and is nut. even under favourable circumstances, 
 visible more than two hours before the rising, or after the setting 
 of the Sun, but when seen, it appears like a red star oT the first 
 magnitude, viz. — Artares or Arciurus — The following will be the 
 Imost tavourable opportunities for seeing this planet in Nova Scotia 
 in 184i»— 
 
 Feb'y. 9 to 21, in the evening after Sunset, bearing W. by S. 
 
 May 24 to June 6, «♦ '« " W. N. W 
 
 July 22 to 31, in the morning, before Sunrise bearing E. by N. 
 Nov. 9 to .30, »* " « E. S. E 
 
 For the conjunctivn of this and the other plpneta tee Calendar pages, 
 
 ViCNUs will be visible in the morning', in the Ea^t, before Sun 
 rise, until Februaiy 16, the day of her Superior Conjunction, 
 then in the Evening until her Inferior Conjunction on the 18th 
 Decetiiber, then in the morning «he will be most brilliant as Rven 
 ing star about the midrlle of November at which time she may be 
 seen without much difficulty by the naked eye even amidst the 
 brightest sunshine. " - 
 
 Mars will be visible in the Evening: in the West, after Sunset 
 until his conjunction on the 27i.h of June, and afterwards in the 
 Knsty ill the morningr, before sunrise — Throughout the year his 
 distance from the Earth wilt be very great, and he will therefore 
 shine with but little of his splendour when in opposition.' 
 
 The four small planets, Vesta, Ju>o, Ckkbs, and Pallas, 
 are seldom if ever, seen by the naked eye, even when in opposition, 
 or nearest to the Earth. 
 
 JupiTKR will be visible in the mornin? in the East, for some 
 months, gradually rising earlier and earlier, until his opposition 
 on the 10th of July, when he lises as the sun sets — after which 
 ihe will set in the West longer and longer before the sun rises— 
 jThis planet is always easily distinguished by his beautiful white 
 jlicfht, which though inferior to that of Venus, is, by far, more 
 brilliant than that of any other planet, or star. 
 
 Saturn will be very near Jupiter the whole year, and on the 
 25th of January will be only half a degree to the North of him — 
 and afterwards a little to the West. It consequently will be 
 easily distinguished. 
 
 Ukanus or Hkrschrl will be in conjunction on the 15th ofi 
 March, and in opposition on the 19th of September, but is 
 seldom noticed by the naked eye.

 There will this year happen Fivk EcWpnea— three of the Sun, 
 and two of the Moon, but not one of them will be visible in Nova- 
 Scotia, either wholly or in part — they will taice place as follows : 
 
 I. Tuesday, January lllh, an annular eclipse of the Sun, 
 vifliblo in very hiv h Southern latitudes, and partially at the Capes 
 of Good Hope and Horn. ^ 
 
 IL Wednesday, January 26th, a partial eclipse of the Mooif, 
 risible in Europe, Asia, and part of Africa. I 
 
 HI. Friday, July 8th, a total eclipse pf the Sun, very large 
 throughout Europe, Asia, and the North of Africa, end cen-j 
 tral in" part of Portugal, Spain, ^outh of France, North of{ 
 Italy) Austria, Poland, European and Asiatic Russia, China and^ 
 the North Pacific. It wfII be total at St. Ubes, Madrid, Toledo,' 
 Sarragossa, Montpellier, Marseilles, Nice, Turin, Milan, Vienna,| 
 Pressburg, Cracow, &c. 
 
 IV« Thursday, July 2tst, a partial eclipse of the Moon, visible 
 in the Western part of North America, in the Pacific Ocean, &c. 
 
 V. Saturday, December 31st. an Annular eclipse of the 
 Sun, visible in the South Pacific Ocenn, and throughout South 
 America, in about the middle of which it will be central.

 *#* It will be particularly noticed that all the calculations in 
 this Almanack have been adapted to mean solar time; a mode: 
 of computation which has rt'cenlly come into very general use, 
 and which will probably soon entirely superstede the old mode of 
 reckoning, as a clock regulated to npparent solar time, must, in 
 consequence of the inequality of the solar days, be frequently^ 
 adjusted. To those persons, however, who may prefer to use 
 apparent time the calculations will be equally usefiil,as mean 
 is easily converted into apparent time by subtracting the qiian-i 
 tity in the sixth column of the left hand calendar pages, when 
 the Sun is slow of clock, and addmg it when fast of clock. — 
 Thus, on 1st February the Sun rises in mean time at 7h. 19m. 
 and sets at 5h. 9m. from which (if we subtract 14m. the quanti- 
 ty by which the Sun is that day too slow,) we obtain 7h. 5m. and 
 i4h. 55:1). the apparent, time.

 Neat Cattle form a very important part of every Farmer's live 
 stock. In selecting them, two things are very material : First, 
 the health and soundness of the stock from which they are pur 
 chased; and Secondly, the quality of the soil on the produce of 
 which it is intended to feed them. Stock for the dairy or the 
 butcher should be selected from a breed of which you know or 
 can ascertain every particular relative to their general health 
 and soundness, an,d the manner in which they have been reared, 
 including their food, shelter, &,c. Always purchase Cattle that 
 have been fed on lands of ^ poorer quality than your own ; huti

 lyou must not too suddenly put them to the richer food, or they 
 will be liable to several dangerous diseases. It rarely happens, 
 however, that cattle purcliased from rich lands, thrive well in 
 poor soils ; but, on the contrary, those from poorer farms do well 
 Ion good land. The choice of neat cattle, therefore, for the 
 stocking of farms, must, in a great degree, be regulated by the 
 nature and quality of the soil intended to feed them on. Cut or 
 Chatf your Hay, Straw, Corn tops, or blades, and even your 
 Stalks with a StrawCutter, and you will save a ijreat proportion 
 which is otherwise wasted or passed through the animal without 
 contributing to its nourishment. One bushel of chaffed Hay at 
 a mess, given in a trough, 3 times in 24 hours, is sufScienl for a 
 Horse, Ox, or Cow. A Horse or horned beast thrives more on 
 15 pounds thus piven, than on 24 or 25 as commonly oxpendet!.

 In selecting Cows for the dairy, the followingindications should 
 be attended to. Wide horns, a thin head and neck, dew-lap 
 larfje, full breast, broad back, large deep belly, the udder capa 
 cioiis but not too fleshy ; the milch veins prominHnt, and the 
 bag tending far beliind 5 teats long and large; buttocks broad 
 and fleshy; tail long pliable, and small in proportion to the size 
 of the carcass, and the joints short. The keeping of Cows in 
 such a manner as to make them give tbe greatest quantity of 
 milk, and with the greatest clear profit, is an essential point of 
 economy. Give a Cow half a bushel ol" turnips, carrots, or other 
 good roots per day, during the six winter months, besides her 
 hfiy, and if her summer feed be such as it should be, she will give 
 Kieariy double the quantity of milk she would afford if only kept

 ilurinjr the winter in the usual manner; and the milk will Ix 
 richer and of better quality. Cows should he treated with great 
 gentleness and soothed by mild u.^ajje, especially when young 
 •u»d licklisih, or when the paps are tender. A Cow never pive.s 
 down her milk pleasantly to a person she drends or (iislike.s. 
 Keep no more Cows than you can keep well ; one Cow well ted 
 will produce as much ntilU as two indifferpntly trented and if the 
 Cow be wintered badly, she will rarely recover, during the suc- 
 ceeding Summer, so as to become profitable to (he feeder. Cows 
 should by all means be housed in extreme weather, and particu- 
 larly those which give milk, or a failure in the quantity of milk 
 will be experienced. Wherefore, instead of keeping 20 Cows 
 poorly fed, and but half of them Stabled, sell It) and give the 
 remaining ten food in amount equal to what the '-^0 originallyl 
 had; procure constant stabling for them, an I you will receive 
 quite as much milk and initter in return as was derived from the! 
 from the former mode of tresitinjr twenty.

 Unless the Farmer has a very diligent and industrious wife, 
 ivho se(3s minutely to her dairy, or a most honest, diligent and 
 careful house-keeper to do it for him, (but >ve would recommend 
 all Farmer's to ha.ve a wife,) he will assuredly lose money by

 should never exceed three inch# in depth, though they may be 
 made so wide as to contain any required quantity, and which 
 ought to be perfectly clean, sweet, and cool. The proper re 
 ceptacles (or milk are tin or earthern pans, not glazed nor lined 
 with lead, or wooden trays. Cheeses should not be set to dry in 
 the same room where your milk is set, for they communicate 
 an acid matter to the surrounding air, which will have a ten 
 dency to make the milk sour. Churning ought to be regularly 
 continued till the butter comes, or is formed. If the motion in 
 summer be too quick, the butter will ferment, and become ill 
 tasted; and in winter it will go back. Churning may be made 
 easier by putting (he bottom of the churn about one foot deep 
 into a vessel of cold water, and contiuu<«d there until the butter 
 !■ made.

 Above two hundred and forty years have elapsed since the in- 
 trodmrtion of the potatoe into Great Britain. During that 
 period, it has been {,Madually makinfr its way in favor of the 
 inhabitants ; but its profrfess for a loner time, was very limited, 
 it began, however, to be extensively cultivated *ibout the middle 
 of the last century; and now it is grown in every farm and, 
 Cottage garden, almost without exception. One of the chief, ifj 
 hot the primary agent in effecting vegetable development and 
 maturity, is Light. Deprive a plant of fAoi and you either pa- 
 ralize tiie operation of its vital principle, or induce imperfect 
 a nd disnasod action. Hence the rows of p otatoes ought to poiM

 North and South', for, in the first place, plants so exposed com 
 mand the greatest breadth and duration of light ; and in the 
 second, the Sun, at the time of his highest meridian altitude, 
 that is, at the hour of noon, shines directly along the extent of 
 the rows; his light is also most equally distributed upon the 
 whole foliage as he approaches to and recedes from the meridian, 
 the perpendicularity of growth, which is of considerable im 
 portance to the complete success of the crop, is less likely to be 
 disturbed by this mode ofarrangement,thanby any other that has 
 been heretofore employed. A fact of great importance to the 
 growers of potatoes remains to be noticed. The out side rows, 
 and all single rows, will be found to produce far greater crops 
 than any of the interior rows of a plot in the garden or field. 
 This depends upon a variety of causes, the chief of which is, .the 
 more perfect exposure of the foliage to the agency of air and light.

 In light .lands Buckwheat may be raised to advantage. It 
 should not be sown till after the middle of May. One bushel is 
 seed enough for an acre, if sown broad-cast, as is usual; but if 
 sown in drills, less than half that quantity is sufficient. Buck 
 wheat is harvested by mowing. After it is mown, it should be 
 [several days before it is housed. It is in no danger of the seeds 
 falling, nor does it suffer much by wet. From its great siiccu- 
 lency it is liable to heat in a mow, on which account it is better 
 to put in into small stacks of five or six loads each, than either 
 A larjs^e one, or in abarn. The most common mode of sowing

 |FteU< peas is broad-cast; but the advantages of the row culture 
 |in a crop so early committed to the ground, must be obvious. 
 In Kent, where immense quantities of peas are raised, both for 
 Igalhering green and for selling ripe to the seedsmen, they are 
 igeneraliy^sownin rows from 18 inches to 3 feet asunder, according 
 to the kind, and well cultivated between. Peas laid a foot below 
 !lhe surface will vegetate ; but the most approved depth is 6 
 inches in light soil, and 4 inches in clay soil; for which reason 
 they ought to be sown under furrow when the ploijghing is de- 
 layed till spring. Of all grain, beans excepted) they are in the 
 least danger of being iiuried too deep. When peas are sowed thiii, 
 the plants will lie on the'ground, and perhaps rot ; when they are 
 thick.the plants will hold each other up with their tendrils, form 
 ing a continued web, and will have more benefit of the air.

 Ploughing, is the most important of all agricultural operations. 
 On the manner in which this is performed depends all the subse-l 
 quent operations xof tillage on the same land. It is very fashion- 
 able, and as a general rule, very correct to recommend deep 
 ploughing. But this rule has a great many exceptions, and the 
 cultivator who should be governed by it without regard to the 
 nature of the soil and the proposed crops, would only labour 
 hard to injure his land and reduce his products. Deep plough- 
 ing has been recommended by some modern writers, upon par- 
 ticular kinds of land, where the bottom and top'* Were of two

 opposite qualities, and neither of them perfectly good, that a 
 mixture may sometimes be very beneficial, and the experiment of 
 going below the depth sometimes answer; but that when the top 
 and bottom for 18 or 20 inches depth consists of the same toil, 
 it is not believed it is ever worth while to exchange the upper' 
 part, whicli has been enriched for years back, for a part less richj 
 merely because it is more fresh. On retentive soils, where the! 
 'practice of loosening them to some depth by other implementi isj 
 'omitted, deep ploughing is however extremely necessary. Dry 
 jsandy soils, such as ought not to be ploughed in ridges, should! 
 be turned over completely, and be laid and kept level as possible.'! 
 jSuch soils, if rendered loose, and light by cultivation, will be 
 Irobbed of their fertilizing particles as well by rains as bjr sun- 
 shine. In other words they are liable to suffer by washing, by 
 scorching, and by too much draining.

 It is a matter of much importance to the Farmer, that hej 
 should take time by the foretop during the season for making! 
 Hay. He must drive his business instead of being driren by it.' 
 Indolence or improper management in hay time, will soon give' 
 a sorry complexion to a farmer's affairs. A day or two lost, or! 
 miiiicmploy ed while the sun shines, and your grass suffers for lack! 
 of the scythe and the rake, or your grain is going back into the' 
 ground, while the sickle is rusting on a peg behind the door, and' 
 itf owner is asleep or gone a journey, may be the means of in-! 
 troducing the Sheriff on your premises to take all that remains;

 of the crop. It is best, generally speakinor, to cut your very 
 iheaviest grass first of all ; and if it be lodged, or in danger of 
 jlodging, although the grass is hardly headed, and appears not 
 to have obtained more than two thirds of its growth, you had 
 better begin upon it. But when you have help enough, and 
 your grass stands up well, you will do best to wait till the 
 blossom is fully formed, and is beginning to turn brown. Clover 
 is the most critical grass, and requires the most attention, 
 and ought to be mown before the seed is formed that the full 
 juice and nourishment of the plants may be retained in the 
 !hay. By the adoption df this system the hay is cut in a better 
 season, it can be more easily secured, and is much more valuahle, 
 nor is the strength of the plant lodged in the seed, which is often 
 lost.

 ' The farmer wbo has it in his power to drive his business, in 
 Istead of being driven by it, will do well to sow his winter rye 
 sometime between the middle of August and middle of Septr. If it 
 be sowed so early, it will be less apt to winter-kill, will require 
 iless seed, the grov/th will be stouter, and the produce greater, 
 iother things being equal, than if the sowing was deferred till late 
 in the Autumn. Rye is capable of bein^^culti vated on most kinds 
 of land, but the light sandy soils, where wheat will not thrive, 
 are the sorts of soil on which it will, generally speaking, be found 
 ,most profitable to raise this kind of produce. Rye if sowed sue

 cessively tjvery year upon the same land, both the crop and the^ 
 |land will be greatly improved, insoinuch that some grounds, 
 which would yieM but 5 bushels to liie acre at tirsi, have in time 
 produced a crop of 15 bushels, vvitiiout the charge of miinure ;| 
 but this will not be the case unless the soil is naturally of a good 
 quality, and the stubble be con»ploioly turned under, immediately, 
 .after reaping. Jf the ground is sutfered' to remain alter harvest 
 Iwithout being ploughed till the stubbie is dried and shrivelled so 
 ithat it possesses but little substance, and the seeds of weeds; 
 have had time to ripen, the crops of grain in each succeeding yearj 
 will be diminished, and the weeds will take an almost exclusive! 
 possession of the soil. Rye may be sown in the Autumn to great| 
 advantage for green fodder, for cattle and sheep, particularly! 
 in the spring. Ewes and Lamb will derive mnch benefit from it.!

 adapted to the breed to which it belongs, above all, it is essential 
 that it be of a kindly disposition to fatten early. According to 
 the quality of pork wanted should be the number oi breeding 
 sows kept over, and there should be no other hogs on the farm, 
 (that is, kept over winter) but the breeding sows. These, when 
 they pig the latter end of March, should be fed in the most 
 attentive manner, with swill and shorts. Vhc pigs from a full 
 grown sow will generally be twelve in number ; thes« should be 
 thinned down to eight, and as soon as they begin to feed freely 
 out of the trough should be weaned, and afterwards fed regularly 
 with green tares, clover, boiled potatoes, ground peas, corn, or 
 any other nourishing food ; turning them out every day into a small 
 yard, where there is a shallow pond for them to lie in. Young sows 
 will sometimes eat their own offspring, which may be prevented 
 by washing the backs of the pigs in an infusion of aloes.

 Poultry — In order to have fine fowls, it is necessary to 
 choose a good breed, and have a proper care taken of them. A 
 hen-house should be large and high ; and should be frequently 
 cleaned out, or the vermin of fowls will increase greatly — but 
 hens must not be disturbed while sitting ; for if frightened, they 
 sometimes forsake their nests. Wormwood and rue should be 
 planted plentifully about their houses ; boil some of the former, 
 and sprinkle it about the floor, which should be of smooth earth 
 not paved. The best age for setting a hen is from two to five 
 years; and you should remark which hens make the best brood-

 ers, and keep those to laying who are giddy and careliess of their 
 young. Hens sit 20 days— convenient places should be provided 
 for their laying, as these will be proper for sitting likewise. If 
 the eggs of any sort are put under a hen with some of her own, 
 observe to add her own as many days after the others as there 
 is difference in the length of their sitting— a turkey and duck sit 
 30 days. Choose large clear eggs to put her upon, and such 
 Inumber as she can properly cover — ten or twelve are quite 
 enough. When some of the chickens are hatched long before 
 the others, it may be necessary to keep them in a basket of wool 
 till the others come forth. The day after they are hatch d, give 
 them some crumbs of white bread, and small grits soaked in milk. 
 As soon as they have gained a little strength, feed them with 
 curd, cheese parings cut small, boiled corn, or any soft food<

 The most healthy stables are those which are open to the east, 
 or have an eastern aspect — it is a common practice to build them 
 joo close — The stable should never hje completely closed up, 
 however cold the weather may be, although it is desirable that 
 strong draughts of cold or damp air should be guarded against, 
 especially in winter. It may be held as a general rule, that 
 stables or cow houses are too close when on entering the breath 
 is affeujted, or any smell of urine can be perceived. It is also 
 very important to keep cow-houses, or cattle stables clean and 
 well littered. Dung left in stables soon renders the air unwhole- 
 some, and is the cause of disorders. Colts are usually foaled 
 tAtout the beginning of Summer, and it is the c ustom to let them

 run till Michaelmas with the mare, at which time they are to be 
 jweaned. When first weaned they must be kept in a convenient 
 jhouse, with alow rack and manger for oats and hay; the hay 
 imnst be very sweet and fine, especially at first, and a little 
 'wheat bran should be mixed with their oats, in order to keep 
 itheir bodies open, and make them drink freely. When the ';vin 
 Iter is spent, they should be turned into some dry ground, where 
 ithe grass is sweet and short, and where there is good water, 
 ■that they may drink at pleasure. The winter afler this, they 
 jinay be kept in the stable, without any further care than that 
 iwhich is taken of other horses. But after the first year the mare 
 foals and horse foals are not to be kept to<rether. We hear it often 
 |lamented, fliat our breed of horses is bad, but, as our colts are 
 itnanaged, if we had any other breed, we 5<hould soon make it ap- 
 pear to be as mean as our own, if not worse.

 A writer for "The Genesee Farmer" observes, that " the fre-j: 
 quent abuse of our laboring animals by those who receive the!> 
 benefits of their labors, and who ought in return to treat them' 
 mercifully, has often given me great pain. 1 have em[)loyed in; 
 Uie course of my business a great many men and teams, both, 
 \vith oxen and horses, and I never yet knew a bawling-, noisy,' 
 whipping teamster, who did a great days work ; nor have I 
 scarcely known such a one who kept a fat team. The best man; 
 who ever did me any labor was a good substantial farmer ; 
 Ins oxen were always fat, and spry ns colts ; he would never!

 hitch them to any thing which he knew they could not draw ; o! 
 course they were not discouraged ; and he hardly ev«r spoke to 
 them louder than in a low tone of common conversation. !He 
 would frequently talk to them soothingly, and encourage them 
 when he had a hard job on hand, which was often the case. 
 After making a heavy pull he would sometimes pat them on the 
 back, but I rarely ever knew him to strike or worry his team. 
 He carried a slender goad with a short lash to guide them with, 
 and a mere swing of the whip was sufficient for his purposes, 
 have known several such persons in my life, and I do not hesitate 
 to say, that any person who so manages his team will get more 
 labor at less expense, and with more ease to himself, thaa by 
 the ordinary bawling, whipping method so much practised in our 
 [country.

 HINTS TO YOUNG FARMERS. 
 
 
 Never be above your calling, nor be afraid of the frock brid 
 the apron. 
 
 Put off no business till to-morrow, which ou^ht and can be 
 done to day. 
 
 As soon as the Spring opens, and the frost is out of the ground 
 put your fences in order. 
 
 Plant no more ground than you can well manure and cultivate 
 to advantage. 
 
 Never hire a man to do a piece of work which you can do 
 yourself 
 
 Every day has its appropriate duties ; attend to them in suc- 
 cession. 
 
 Keep no more stock than you can keep in order, and that of 
 the best kind. 
 
 Never contract a debt without a reasonable probability of pay- 
 incr at the lime agreed upon. 
 
 Remember that economy and industry are the two great pillars 
 of the Farmer's prosperity. 
 
 Should you take any Periodical Journal, pay for it in advance 
 
 Never carry your notes in your pocket-book, as the desk or 
 trunk is a more appropriate place. Keep them on file, and in 
 order, ready to be found when wanted. 
 
 Keep a place for your tools, and your tools in their places. 
 
 Instead of spending a rainy day at the dram-shop, as manj ' o 
 to their ruin, repair whatever wants mending; post your books. 
 
 Drive your business, and do not permit your business to drive 
 you. 
 
 Never trust your money in,thc hands of that man who will put 
 his own to hazard. 
 
 When a debt becomes due, pay it at the time, whether your 
 creditor wants it or not. Never ask him to ^'toaittill next week" 
 but pay it. Never insult him by saying, "you do not want it. 
 Punctuality is a key to every man's chest. 
 
 Always have one of Belcher's Almanacks in the house. 
 
 Hy constant temperance, habitual, moderate exercise, and 
 unaffected honesty, you will avoid the fees of the lawyer and the 
 sheriff, gain a good report, and probably add at least ten years to 
 your life. 
 
 When a friend calls to see you, treat him with the utmost com- 
 plaisance ; but if important business call your attention, politely 
 excuse yourself and he will excuse you. 
 
 j Should you think of building a house, be not in a hurry, butj 
 jfirst have every material on the spot, and let your cellar be as 
 large as the frame. 
 
 Keep a memorandum book ; enter all not'^, whether received 
 or given ; all monies received or paid out ', «.il expenses, and ail 
 circumstances of importance.

 Thi^ Cofnpany, established by Act of Parliament, and whose 
 Rates will be found on the lowest scale of any offered to the 
 puldic, atfords the most jxM't'ect security. 
 
 The ea^•y and ready mode for a person of moderate income to 
 ■secure by such an arran<icinent a provision for his fafnil}', is 
 )bvious, — for instance, a man of 2.5 years old, may, by r-.n annual 
 payment of £'28 10 *i, for the first live years, and aft(M"wards the 
 full premium of £r>7 Ifi <> yearly, secure to his widow and 
 children at his death, the payment of no less tban £3000, sub- 
 ject only to the deduction of £144 1 3, being the amount of 
 premiunx unpaid. 
 
 This Company holds out in various other respects, ^reat in- 
 ducements to the public and when such facilities are afforded, it 
 is clearly a moral duty in every man, who is not possessed of a 
 fortune but of an income however limi;ed to Insure his Life for 
 \ sum which may yield a comforlablo provision to those who 
 durinjif hi.^ life have been dependant on him, or who at his death 
 would hi', rendered destitute or in want. 
 
 Incase of persons Insurint; for Ihe whole term of Life by the 
 rable of Rates which allows a participation to the extent of two 
 'hiris of th''. profits , in preference to tiiatofthe reduced rates, 
 I heir share of profits will bo added to the amount of their re 
 -pcctivo Policies, or deducted from their future Premiums, at 
 periods of not less than five and not exeeeduiff seven years.
