ECLIPSES IN ]8:38.
There will be two Eclipses of each of the great LuMirfARiEs
in heaven this year.
I. The first will be of the Sun, at the lime of new moon in
March, a great and total eclipse, but invisible in North America
by reason of the Moon's south latitude.
II. The second will be a partial eclipse of the Moon, at the
time of the full on Monday evening, April 9th visible.

Last contact of the Moon with the Earth's Penumbra

Digits eclipsed 7° 14' on the Moon's south limb.
III. The third will be a great eclipse of the Sun, on the aftCi-
noon of Tuesday, Sept. 18th, at the time of New Moon, visible
throughout all North America, Greenland, the Arctic, eastern
part of the Pacific, and western part oi the Atlantic Oceans :
central and annular in a path about two hundred miles broad,
over the north-western or Wisconsin Territory, nd the States
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. At
'the time of this eclipse, the Moon will be at her apogee or great-
est possible distance from the earth, causing a ring of the Sun to
appear all around her dark body at the time of greatest obscura-
tion at all places in the path of the annular eclipse. At Halifax,
its phases will be as follows :

EXPLANATION OF THE CALENDAR PAGES.
First Column, contains the days of the month.
Second-, the days of the week.
Third, Sundajs, Anniversaries, Weather, &c.
Fourth, ilinini? of the Sun.
Fifth, Setting of the Sun.
Sixth, Sun's Declination taken from the Nautical Almanack, in
hours and minutes, at mean noon. It denotes the apparent position
of the true Sun with reference to the equator, and the true equinox,
at the instant the Greenwich mean time clock, or chronometer,'
indicates Oh. Om. Os., or when the hour angle of the true sun is
equal to the equation of time.
Seventh, Risinf; and Setting of the Moon.
Eighth, Moon's Southing — when the moon comes to the Meridian of;
any place, or twelve o'clock hour-line, she is then due south with|
respect to that place, and this is termed the moon's southing.
This column also shews the time of High Water at Parrsboro', Horton,
Cornwallis Windsor, Newport, ^c.
JVinth, Moon's place in the Signs. The meaning of these characters
maybe learned from the " explanation of characters" on page 2.
Tenth, Time of High Water at Halifax, of that tide which arrives
when the moon is nearest to the meridian — the time of the tide
which happens when the moon is fartherest from t'.e meridian maybe
easily ascertained by the addition of half the difference of the times
of high water on the preceeding and following days.
The top of the columns shows the Moon's phases, or the times of New
and Full Moon, and of the first and last quarter, or two quadratures
with the Sun.
To find the length of the day, add 12 hours to the time of the Sun's
setting, and from the sum subtract the time of rising.
The Farmer's Calendar is placed at the foot of the columns of e^ch
month.
All the calculations are in Apparent or Solar time ; that is the time
shown by the Sun. If you should wish to set a clock which should|
keep Mean time, observe when the Sun is on the Meridian by a noonj
mark or Sun dial ; then if the Sun is slow, add the Equation, ifi
fast, subtract it, from 12, o'clock and it gives the true clock time.l
A table of the Equation of time , will be found on the next page after
the Calendar. Thus you will find at .ipparent noon, June 1, the
true time is 11 h. 67 m. 25 s. June 30, it is I2h, 3 m. 22 s.
As for the Weather, we are still determined to have now and then a
guess at it, hit or miss, our prognostics are founded on the wea-
ther table published in the Almanack some years since, and we hope
that at least, they will be found as often right as wrong ; at anyi
rate, we shall endeavour not to confound winter snows with
summer showers.

Farmer's Calendar. — This is generally a month of drifting storms,
with now and then a day of such calm and quiet sunshine, such wintry
loveliness, as almost to make us wish the season to last forever. It is a
jmonth wiien one may often find the day terminating in a storm which
seems to fill the skies, blocking up the roads, and piling the snow in heaps
penetrating every window and door crevice and saluting us with its fine
Isilvery shower ; the night setting in with it^ murky darkness, and com-
Ibiaingwith the raging elements to envelope the world in a gloom which
'drives man and beast to the -helter of home. Thus ends the day and we'
Tet ire to rest lulled by the music of the howling storm. The morning!
comes and what a change ! the sun, as if nothing had happened, shows his;
smiling face over the eastern hills, and his liglit sparkles from the thou-
sand diamonds of the snow drifts. The custom Oi sending Valentines is
not much practised here, but is carried to a great extent in England. Two
hundred thousand beyond the usual daily average p^^ss through the two-
penny post Ofiice in London, on St. Valentine's day.

Farmer^s Calendar. — Snow, sleety storms, ice, mud and thaws, rains,
fogs, and sunshine, makeup most of the March catalogue of out-door in
cident. Farmer's during this month should be very attentive to their milch
cows, and see that they are neitKer stinted nor over-fed. One that is
well fed will keep her flesh and give twice as much milk as two that are
put on short allowance. Parsnips, carrots, pumpkins, ground oats, and
Indian meal, are capital articles for feeding cows which give milk, when
thus fed they yield milk in great sjuantity. Let the milker be mild as a
moon beam, in the mnr.ner of milking. If the work is performed with a
hand as harsh as a hand saw, the cow will be as cross as a catamount ;
but if a soft hand be gently applied, the animal receives pleasure, and al-
lows the milk to flow plentifully. The earlier you can sow lettuce, early
peas, and radishes the better. Set out cabbages for seed, selecting the
best, and cabbage stumps, for early greens.

Fiirmer''s Calendar. — The farmer is n lucky man ; he is subject to >
few cares, disea^^es or changes. He holds in fee nhnple a certain part of j
this planet, runnin;; froni tlie surface down to the centre, to;iether with the
atmosiphere above it. The firmer i? indepeiulent of all but Providence—
;he calls no man master ; he is not only a friend of humanity, but he is'i
'kindly disposed towards brutes. An ox is to him in the light of a friend,
■ja cow is a benefactor, arul a calf is almost a child. He is clothed by,
the sheep, and the cosset lamb i;! a foster brother of his children, who
have a heavy day when their mute friend is sold to the butcher. In
spring he covers with earth three or four kernels of maize, and in au-
tumn he finds ears enough to furnish the materials for many loaves. He
hides in the soil a seed, no bi^-jger than a large bed bug, and in a few weeks
a vine appears with fieveral pumpkins attached to it, ^if the capacity of 4
gallons. He is an especial favourite of Ceres and Pon^'"- a, but cares.?
little for Bacchus, Phoebus .nnd other idlers. ?

Farmer's Calendar. — May is the season for planting Indian corn,
sowing oats, and summer wheat. This latter as well as winter wheat,
has been much neglected for some years, from an idea that that it is not a|
safe crop, but try it again, be assured that the raising of wheat may be
made very profitable. You will find much iiinoceut and profitable amuse-
ment in your garden, and will please to plant bush and pole beans, havingi
enriched the soil witfi manure. With regard to pole-beans you will do^s
well to set the poles first, and then plant the beans round the poles. In
the open ground, plant cucumbers, cabbages, caulillowers, late peas,
early corn, squashes, melons, &c. Hoe and bush, such peas as have come
forward, and weed all the plants which have made their appearance I
suppose by this time' your garden looks neat and tidy ; no sticks, stones,
last year's weeds, or rubbish of any kind lying about , and that your beds
are a s smooth as a carpet, and laid out with taste and judgment.

Farmer's Calendar. — Cleanse your cellars, and every apartment in
and about j^our dwelling, from all putrid and offcns^ive substances, for you
may about aswell live on tainted provisions, as breathe puirid air ; in
either case you bid cloPiance to the laws of health, as well as cleanliness.
Now is the time to declare a war of extermination against insects, by
sprinkling your fruit trees, with a syringe, or garden engine tWMce a week
for 2 or 3 weeks, canker Avorms, caterpillars, and other pestiferous in-
sects will vanish from j'our premises like ghosts at cock-crowing. Make
daily visits to your garden. If the season be at all dry, your vegetables,
jparticularly cucun)bers. will need water. Keep your crops clean by hee-
ling and hand-weeding. Cut and dry for winter use, such medicinal herbs
rishave come to maturity, attend to your cabbage and cauliflower plants,
as well as beans, &c. and see that they are not destroy<y.d by the cut worm,
Ifyou perceive a plant injured, open the earth and you will ntiver fail of
finding iheworm at the root. Kill him.

Fariner's Calendar. — The mower is now in the field with lii3 scythe.
At an early hour we hear the merrj'^ ringing of the stone upon the steel,'
as he is sharpening it. How beautiful now is the meadow — the orchard
— the wheat field — and tl.e forest : How various and how brilliant the
flowers ; how fragrant the air — how balmy, yet how healhful the breeze!
The sultry season of hay making is to the farmer a season of sweat
and toil, but not of repining hardship. The farmer is no*^ of that class
called grumblers. He does not it is true rise with the •• first song of the
lark," but what is quite as well, to the music of his own domestic stock,
who by this time are assisted by their young broods. Who would lie
snoring in bed and lose the beauties of a summer morning .? Up, up and
you will wonder that you ever doze till sunrise. Away to the hills and
see the mn get up and chase the mists before him, and hear the thousand
throats pour forth their morning songs.

Farmer''s Calendar The farmer now finds the ample reward of all
his care and toil fast approaching maturity. The ripened grain waves over
the fields in gentle andgra^'eful undulations, now ready for the sickle ; the
reapers commence their early task , and in regular platoon pursue their
Blow inarch from end to end of the field, each leaving his row of the yel-
low grain laid handsomely on the ground behind him. How is it with the
garden } I suppose you have had plenty of cherries, strawberries, &c. in
their season and that your peach trees have now the inviting appearance of
rich loads of ripening fruit Your flowering plants, 1 suppose, have long
delighted you with their fragrance and beauty, and you have your care and
attention well repaid. Continue to gather the best specimens of seeds to
propogate from, ind be careful not to let any weeds ripen their seeds.
Put on a good stout pair of leathern gloves, and declare a war uf exter-
mination against the thistles in and about youi premises, before the seeds
become ripe.

Farmer's Calendar. — This is the richest and most beautiful moiith of
the year, the sultry heats of summer have somewhat subsided, ."^nd tlic
season has assumed something of a permiinenl character. The sun has;
for some time been getting to the south, yet the subdued summer hc.it stillj
liiigers behind, and it i^ not till he crosses the equinoxial, on tlie 23d cf
the month, that the autumn is said to cominence. One look at the corn-j
fields stretching over the plain, and the orchnrds with their loads of rip-;
ening fruit, is enough to make the farmer bless his lot and ahr.ost tlianK,
ithat part of the original first' that made him one. He has provided for
jhis cattle, the patient partners of his toil, and his well filled barns bear
i'wi ncss of his attention to their comfort and support. He nov/ looks for.
ward to the l.arvesling those crops which are to siisain himself and his,
family through the coming v.interj and afford the means of l)aying his
little debts, and of laying up something against the winter of old age.
Gather seeds as they ripen, and cucumbers for pickling before they spot.'

Former^s Calendar. — The business of harvesting is now in its glory.
The corn, load afier load, is brought from (he fields, and piled on the
■grass by the bam, to be husked out these fine evenings by moonlight ,
isomelimes our farmers make a regular husking frolic of it, by inviting the
ineighboursto r.saist in the labour, or rather the sport, and the whole crop'
^ is thus disposed of in a single evening. This is perhaps the best way, pro-'
!vided you conduct it on the temperance plan, as there is then no danger of
injury to the grain by svv-ealing in the heap. If you pans along the sling
iaod toddy every 15 or 20 minutes, and guzzle till you are all so boozy that
f'you cannot te.'! n white ear from a red one, you will waste more by it,
than Y/ould be lost by letting it moulder in the heap a day or two longer.
Nice lemonade, cider, he. will do your work clean and leave a fine relish
for the feast which follows of rich pumpkin and other' pies, cakes, apples
i\::A pe.ir3, with no fear of winding up with broken heads and bloody noses.

Farmer's Calendar. — It is high time to fortify your premises against
jthe intrusions of frost. Protect your cellar with a Farmer'' s Bank, and
[then, if you work it right, you will not be obliged to hire money from
|Other b.inks. If possible, let water be brought into your cattle yard, to
that its tenants may not be compelled these cold mornings to ramble over
,frozen fields, or run the gauntlet along slippery liighways, harassed by
men, doi.>s, and t^leighs, undergoing as many perils as Bunyan in his " Pil-
grim'jj Progress." Winter squashes, cabbages, &ic. s^lioidd now be brought
from the garden and prescved for winter. Siilf, heavy soil should be
thrown up in trenches. Trim up, look about jou, and see that all is
neat, tidy and well prepared for winter. See that your house is tight, rnen<l'
he latches and catches of your doors ; i-ee ihat your doors shut well, ll'j
:y creak on their hinges, grease them. Look to your window shutters,
x't let ihem slam and bang every windy niglit.

Farmer's Calendar. — It is now the depth of winter — a (ilooniy be.uon ,
;.at least it is so called by soir.e ; yet even " i*eniold wi.'iter" is not v.'itliout
i.: means of conlributnijj; to the enjo>inent of his youthful admirers, 'j'lie
uuiversal mantle of .snow he spreads over the landscape, is never regretled
by the boys who ;riide rapidly on its smooth surfwce down the hill-fcide,
and then tug up a^^nin with their iit'le sled-, giving practical proof that
true pleasure may be found closely connected with toil and perseverance,
then there are SHOto me7i to be made, and snow-balling \o be attended to ;
I am not certain that I should recommend the latter employment or recrea-
tion to the young ladie;, yet, as there should be nothing like rudeness in
any sports, I think it can do tliem no harm, and may serve to make them
robust and health)-. Have your fire place:^ well made, to throw out the
heat, and not have them so contrived, that all the heat and fire shall go
up the chimney, and where you can, use stoves. \
