Pluvial Anticipations.
The moon, in consequence of being
so near us, has considerable influence
on the earth on which we dwell, on
its animals, vegetables, &c.; hence —
“ Her powerful sway commands the flowing tide,
And the vast ocean rolls from side to side,”
LAST QUAR. 14d. Ih. 18m. morn.
She therefore operates upon our at-
mosphere, and taking this into consi-
deration, with the effects of the planets,
I am led to expect rain or snow about
the 1 St, 5th, 1 2th, 21 st, and 29th days.
This year I present my readers with

By his attraction move through boundless space;
With these the earth upon her axis turns,
And justly poised, supporting pillars scorns :
The Sun preserving thus his central seat,
Spreads through all nature a prolific heat.

Inspired by Spring, ilie slumbering insects wake,
And animated birds their silence break ;
In notes of harmony salute the year.
And all creation with their music cheer;
Yet oft tempestuous winds the forests rend,
And clattering hail-storms through the air descend.

My readers will recollect that I
said in one of my former almanacks,

that every movement in France is
looked at with anxiety by all the
nations of Europe. Now, at this
time, there will be much excitement
in that Republic, respecting the elec-

election of the present one. May this

And can you pensive sit, be frozen still,
Like Scythian seas, or like an Alpine hill ?
Can you sit mute amidst the tuneful throng,
Nor join in Nature’s universal song?
While birds, plants, beasts, in symphony conspire,
Awake your consort, and complete the choir.

In Febhuary. That the 3d is Bishop Blase’s holiday, the I4th St. Valentine
and the 25th is St. Matthias, and is a Holiday at several of the Public Offices. *
In March. Remember Si. David's and St. Patrick's days. Municipal asses-

on the 15th, that the 24th is the Queen’s birth-day. And remember “ round
about the May-pole ” from the 1st to the I3th ; if the May-pole is falling, sub-
scribe for another, or apply to the Lord of the Manor, and see what he will do.
In June. Overseers, on the 20th, to fix on the church doors notices as to
persons qualified to vote for counties ; persons on the register need not make a

In December. Forget not the Christmas festivities ; nor neglect to ascertain
how affairs stand with regard to your accounts, your families, your bodies, your
souls. Time is the most irresistible of all innovators ; but if you have built on a
right foundation for eternity, you need not fear him.

The Months in the above Table are calculated at only Twelve Months to the Year.
If the yearly Wages be Guineas instead of Pouniis, for each Guinea add one Penny
to each Month, or one Farthing to each Week. Thus, Six Pounds per Year are
Tec Shillings per Month ; but, if the W’ages be Six Guineas, add one Penny for
wch Guinea, that is. Sixpence, and it will then be Ten Shillings and Sixpence per
Month. In like manimr, by adding Six Farthings to each Week, the Wages will
be Two Shilbngs and Five-pence per Week.

Note . — Fa. means Clock^to be fast ; that w, ycur Clock, to be right, must be so
much faster than the Sun Dial — slo. that ycur Clock must be so much slower
than the Sun Dial. See page 27., Almanack tor 1837.
To set a Clock or H'atck on any Day by means of this Tabic : — Take out the
number of Minutes and Seconds which stands against that day, and make ycur
Clock or Watch so much faster or slov/er (according as the Table is marked /a. or
slo.) than the time on a gooti Sun Dial. Thus, on January Ist, the Clock must be
set 3m. faster or before the dial : on the 1st of October, it must be set 10m. 27s.
slower. Correct the Watch when the Dial marks just an hour, as 9, 10, 11, 1, 2, 3,
or 4 o’clock. Noon is net be<t, nor near Sun-rise or Sun-set.
Note . — The Sun's rirings and settings, as well as all other astronomical matters
in this Alma’ ack, are now given in Common Clock Time, such as wiil be shown

AN ACCOUNT OF
THE ECLIPSES of the SUN and MOON,
And other Appearances in, the Heavens^ in the year 1852,
the Result of Careful Calculations from the most correct
and approved Data relative to the Celestial Bodies,
The position of the Lunar Nodes, with respect to the syzygies
of the two grand Lamps of Heaven, is such as to produce sir
Eclipses within the periphery of the present year, namely three
of the Sun, and three of the Moon ; and they happen in the
following order, agreeable to the accompanying calcnlations.
1. The first is a /oto/ Eclipse of the Moon, on Wednesday, the
7th of January, early in the morning, and consequently visible
in these parts of the globe. The following representation for
Greenwich will serve, without sensible error, the whole island
of Great Britain,
The following are the Mean Times of this Eclipse, according
to the respective meridians of the places here mentioned : —

ECLIPSES, &c.
At the beginning of this Eclipse the Moon will be vertical in
lat. 22® 32' N., and long. 64-® 44' W., which falls in the Atlantic
Ocean^ to the north-east of St. Domingo^ and to the north-west
of the Caribbee Islands. At the commencement of total dark-
ness she will be overhead, in lat. 22® 32' N., and long. 79® 9'
E., to the north-west of Jamaica^ and near the southern coast
of Cuba. At the middle of the Eclipse she will be in the zenith
in lat. 22® 31' N., and long. 90® 56' E., which falls in the Gtil/
of Mexico, and not very far from Cawpeachy, a place though
defended by a good wall axd forts, yet was taken by the
English in 1659, by the Buccaneers in 1678, and by the Free-
booters of St. Domingo in 1685, who burnt it, and blew up the
citadel. At the termination of total darkness the Moon will
be in the zenith in lat. 22® 30' N., and long. 102° 44' W. ; and
at the end of the Eclipse she will be overhead, in lat. 22® 29'
N., and long. 117® 9' W. in the South Pacific Ocean., and to the
south-west of Cape de St. Lucas, in California, a country now
much talked about on account of its extensive gold mines.
Hence this Eclipse will be visible to the western parts of
Europe and Africa, to the whole of North and South America,
and quite round the North Pole.
2. The second is a solar defect, on Wednesday, January 21st,
when the eciiptical conjunction of the Sun and Moon takes
place, at about 27 min. past 7 o’clock in the morning, and in-
visible to us and all Europe. This Eclipse begins on the earth
generally at 5h. 33m. a.m. Grccmuich mean time, in lat. 56® 55'
S., and long. 24® 10' W., and ends at 8h. 52m. a.m. in lat. 45®
35' S., and long. 161® 38' E. This Eclipse will be visible in
the Antarctic Ocean, and will extend itself to New Zealand, and
the southern shores of Van Diemen's Land, and where greatest
will not exceed five digits and a half.
3. The third is another partial Eclipse of the Sun, on Thurs-
day, the 17th of June, in the middle of the afternoon, but in
consequence of the Moon having considerable south latitude,
the phenomenon will be invisible to us, and all places north of
the equator. The ecliptic of the luminaries happens at
4h. 47m. p.M. This Eclipse commences on the earth generally
at 2h. 56m. p.m. in lat. 47® 9' S., and long. 106® 15' W., and
terminates at 7h. 2m. in lat. 35® 8' S., and long. .33® 3' W.
This Eclipse will be visible in the Southern Ocean, and to the
southern portions of South America, and where greatest will
amount to more than nine digits.
5. The fourth is another total Eclipse of the Moon, early in
the afternoon of Thursday, the 1st of July, and as the Moon
during the whole time of the phenomenon is below our horizon,
of course it must be invisible to us. At the beginning of the
Eclipse, which is at 37 min. past 1 o’clock, the Moon is ver-
tical in lat. 23® 2.3' S., and long. 155® 31' E., which falls in the

Moon will rise eclipsed at the Cape of Good Hope.
5. The ffth is a total Eclipse of the Sun, on Saturday the
11th of December, long before sunrise, and of course invisible
to us. This Eclipse enters upon the earth at Ih. 26m. a.m., in
lat. 39° 47' N., long. 87° 25' E., which falls in the centre of
Asia^ between China and the empire of the Great Mogul, The
central and total Eclipse, commencing to the north of Krasno-
larsh, in the centre of the Great Russian Empire, (lat. 59° 22'
N., and long. 92° 18' E.,) quickly passes from thence into Chi-
nese Tartary, and along towards the Sea of Corea, it crosses the
Great Wall of China, and skirts the northern coast of the Yellow
Sea, and reaching lat. 37° 28' N., in long. 127° 18' E., I find at
3h. 24m. the Sun will be totally and centrally eclipsed at noon-
day. The central Eclipse, directing its course from thence,
passes across the western parts of Niphon, the largest of the
Japan islands, into the Pacific Ocean; and gliding over some
portions of this extensive water, at 4h. .35m. in the morning,
according to Greenwich mean time, it leaves the globe in lat.
43° 48' N., and long. 175° 52' E. All idong this track of the
central Eclipse the darkness will be of shorter duration than it *
was in the famous total Eclipse in Norway, Sweden, &c., on the
28th of July last year, owing to the apparent diameter of the
Moon, in the present Eclipse, being not much larger than that
of the Sun : nevertheless some of the most notable stars will
for a minute or so appear on the arch of heaven I The obscu-
ration now gradually becomes less and less, and at 55 min. past
5 A.M. the solar circle is again complete, and the Eclipse is no
more seen. This takes place in the Pacific Ocean, lat. 21° 36'
N., and long. 170° 8' E.
6. We now come to the sixth and last Eclipse of the present
year, which is a partial one of the Moon, on Sunday the 26th of
December, in the middle of the day, and therefore invisible to
the inhabitants of Great Britain. The Eclipse commences at
33 min. past 11 o’clock in the forenoon, and terminates at 32
min. past 2 in the afternoon. At the beginning the Moon is
vertical, in lat. 24° 2' N., long. 173° 53' W. ; and at the end is
overhead in lat. 24° 7' N., and 143° 3' E. : therefore it will be
visible to the western parts of North America, and round the
North Pole ; to all the northern and eastern parts of Asia, to
Australia, New Zealand, the South Sea Islands, the Sandwich

Lunar Occultations.
The Moon, owing to the short periods of her orbitical revolu-
tions, with the constant retrogression of her nodes, will neces-
sarily occult man}^ of the stars in the course of the present year;
but in looking over the list of these, I find only three^ which I
consider of any particular importance to my readers.
The first occultation is of Zcta Tauiiy a star of the third
magnitude, and will take place on the 2.3rd of Aprils in the night.
The immersion will be at 9h. 50m., and the emersion at lOh.
4.3m.; see Jig. 1. — The next occultation worthy of notice is the
same star again, and happens on the 11th of August^ early in
the morning, when the star will immerge at Ih. 5in., and emerge
at Ih. 53m. ; sec fig. 2. — On the 26th of November the Moon
will occult Epsilon Tauri, a star of about the third magnitude ;
immersion 57 min. past 8 ; and emersion 11 min. after 10 o’clock
at night : see fig. 3.
Note. — In the preceding types, I is the place where the star
vanishes from sight at the Moon’s limb ; and E where it re-
appears ; V the Moon’s vertex. A telescope of some sort will
be necessary for observing these phenomena, especially the last
mentioned, owing to the brightness of the Moon, bein^- at the

ficial operation ; a system of bodies vast in themselves, and far
removed from each other ; their courses and influences extend-
ing over a space many hundred millions of miles from the main-
spring of their complicated movements. These movements are
concentric, eccentric, and some intersective ; one class of its
members moving in the same common plane and in the same
direction; another class, in planes making all possible angles
with, and moving in paths entirely adverse to each other, yet
each invariably pursuing its own course as an independent body,
and all observing the same centre, and obeying the same fixed
and immutable laws.
The Grand Mechanist of this wondrous frame is the Creator
of the Universe ; the scene of operation is a portion of space ;
the period of the construction and the length of its duration,
that part of Eternity called Time ; and the whole system, in its
formation, locality, and various revolutions, commanded into
being with a particular view to an especial and unintermitted
providential government, which shall redound to the honour of
the Great Creator, and the advantage and felicity of his intel-
lectual creation.

next day between 8 and 9 a. m. it was only at 23°, and at noon
it was 2° below the freezing point. The atmospheric pressure
was considerable, being greater than this month last year by
nearly 7 lbs. on the square foot. The temperature of the month
was 959°, being less than the mean for the last 30 years by 91°.
The fall of rain was 1*604 inch, which was below the average-
or mean for the last 29 years, by '147 of an inch. There were
12 days in which rain was measurable, and therefore 19 may
be considered fair. It may be as well to remark that the stands
ards for atmospheric pressure, mean temperature, and rain,,
must be considered the same in the following months as are here
stated for January.
February, on the whole, may have been considered rather
mild, producing 1145°, or 137° above the standard mean. The
atmospheric pressure was nearly 20 lbs. less than last year,

was the driest March, at least, for the last 30 years ; whereas
in this month of the year I am now writing (1851) there fell
5'85S or nearly 6 inches of rain! which proved to be the wettest
March for the last 30 years, and probably within the present

April. The temperature of this month was in general mild,
and at times wet and gloomy, with thunder and heavy showers.
The nightingales were heard on the 6th, and on the morning of
the 10th they were singing in all directions. On the 12th the
tortoises were brought from their hibernal retreat, where they
had been since the 17th of November. The monthly tempera-

proved a very disastrous visitation. One of the tortoises ate a
dandelion leaf or two on the 1 3th, this being the first food it
had taken since the beginning of last October ! On the 5th
swifts seen; and on the 1 8th whitethorn in bloom. The
monthly temperature was 1591°, being 6G° below the mean.
The pressure of the air was 4 lbs. less than last year; and the
depth of rain 2 inches, being only *106 of an inch in excess.
Rain 15 days, and fair 16 days.
June was a dry month, and at times very warm ; producing
maxima of 80°, 83° to 85°. On the whole, the temperature was
1813°, or 32° above the mean. The atmospheric pressure was
about 3 lbs. greater than that for the same month last year.
The depth of rain was only *474 of an inch, or less than the
mean by 1*631 inch. There were 8 days of rain more or less,
and 22 days fair. Air at 75° in the shade, pump-water 50°.
July. Though the general temperature of this month was
only 1903°, or 5° below the mean, yet we had some hot days,
particularly on the 16th, when the thermometer rose to 86°
accompanied with heavy thunder-storms, which did much
damage in many places to the S. E. of us. The atmospheric
pressure was only about 1 Ib. greater than what it was during
this month last year. The depth of rain was 2*895 inches,
being *41 of an inch above the mean. Rain 19 days, and fair 12.
August was rather cool for the season, with rough winds,
and dark stormy clouds passing over the country, attended
with frequent thunder around about us, though but little here.
The highest temperature was on the 5th=80°, and the lowest
on the 30th = 37°. The general monthly temperature was
1827°, or less than the mean by 36°. The atmospheric pres-
sure was nearly 4 lbs. less than it was the same month last
year. The depth of rain = 1*089 inch, being less than the
mean by 1*415 inch. Fair 23 days, and rain 8 days.
September. The first 19 days of this month were dry and
rather cool, but afterwards we had frequent showers and
distant thunder. The monthly temperature was 1617°, which
was below the mean 33°. The depth of rain =1*5 inch, w'hich
was below the mean = 1*265 inch, according with the excess of
pressure, which was 12 -^ lbs. greater than in this month last
year. Fair 20 days, and rain more or less IQ days. Very few
wasps seen ; the same in the dry September of 1843.
October was often very cold ; the thermometer at times
during the night and early in the morning indicated a tempe-
rature at or near the freezing point ; and on the morning of
the 27th many of the dahlias were nearly prostrated by the
cold ; the short ones had suffered the most, especially in the
more humid parts of the garden. The general temperature was
1329°, or 184° below the mean, being nearly 6° of daily tempe-
rature below the average. The pressure was 5 lbs. less than

meter fluctuated considerably, yet the general temperature
accorded very nearly with the average, being 1165°, or only 4°
above the mean. The pressure of the atmosphere was 9 lbs.
greater than in this month last year ; and the fall of rain was
1*516 inch, which was less than the mean by *599, or very nearly

average daily temperature lor the year agrees very nearly
with the mean for the last 30 years ; but the depth of rain is
iess than the annual mean for the last 29 years by 6*76 inches,
or rather more than 64 inches — hence 1850 was a dry year.

Some Extracts from a Meteorolo^cal Journal kept at Thwaite^
Suffolk y relating to the Year 1850.
January was a severe frosty month, with frequent snow in
the middle of the month : on the 14th, 1 5th, and 22nd the
thermometer stood from 22° to 19°. February was remarkable
for mildness and violent gales of wind ; a very stormy period
to the 17th ; and on the 6th much damage throughout the
kingdom by a severe gale from the north-west: after the 17th
fair and pleasant to the end. March to the 16th was fair and
mild, afterwards stormy with heavy snow', and very severe
frost to the 29th day : the thermometer on the 26th went down
to 16°! April was‘ changeable and often showery to the 23rd,
afterwards fair, with dry easterly winds. May was rainy and
gloomy to the 16th: from thence to the end very fine, warm,
and growing weather. On the 31st the thermometer rose to
75° in the shade. June was very hot and dry throughout; on
many days the thermometer exceeded 80°, and on Sunday the
23rd it was at 84° ! much thunder in many places on the 26th
day. July was a very hot and sultry month, but many changes
occurred, with violent storms of thunder, lightning, and hail.
On the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 23rd, the thermometer stood from
82° to 83^°. The memorable storm of thunder on the night of
the 15th did immense damage in many parts of England ; biiild-

thermometer on the 5th was above 83°: the middle of the
month was changeable, but the end was fair. September was
very dry and fine to the 2Gth day, with but little exception,
but showery at the end. October was dry and pleasant to the
22nd, afterwards ciiangeable and showery. I^ovember was ex-
ceedingly fine, bright, and warm, with dusty roads, to the ICth ;
then rainy till the 28th, afterwards fair. December was very
mild, with but little ram. At the end the mildness increased,^
and the year expired with a close atmosphere, unusual for the
season ! The coldest morning was on the 26tii of March, and
the hottest day was Sunday the 23rd of June.

to take place on Monday, December 22nd, at 9h. 29m. a.m.,
1851 ; when we shall have the 20th degree of Vf on the eastern
angle, and the 25th degree of 11^ on the southern. At tnat
time 5 S of the ascendant, or first house ;
^2 occupies the 2nd, and the third house : Mars is in the

is on the cusp of the 12th. Besides, these planetary bodies
form the following aspects near the time of this ingress :
□ (?!/, AO h,d 5 ?, AQllJ; also d O 5, and A J) 1?.
Here let us pause a moment, and consider the significancy of
these positions, and we shall soon find that, though dark and
gloomy be the present season of the year, yet the universal
spread of knowledge will drive away the clouds of error and
superstition, and cheer our hopes with a more brilliant horizon
than in times past. Mankind now see more and more that it
is not ordained by the great Author of all things that any of
them should for ever toil for the purpose of supporting the
pride and selfishness of others. There is a wo pronounced
against those “ who lade men with burdens grievous to be
borne, and yet they themselves touch not the burdens with one
of their fingers.” Let even-handed justice be dealt out to all ;
then murmurings and discontent will cease :
III fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish or may fade ;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made :
But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride.
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.

Sweet Spring in her light, flowing vest.

Low valleys their verdure renew :
The air by her breath is perfumed ;
Her voice wakes the wood dulcet notes ;
The season of love is resumed.
And warbled by millions of throats.
According to the most accurate computations, I find that this

positions of the signs and planetary bodies will be as exhibited

— This is likely to be an active quarter, and important changes
may be expected in the Papal and other States of Italy, Even
our own country will still be agitated relative to secular matters
pertaining to the hierarchy. Many of the old (iovernments,
which require the arm of power for their support, will find their
State Treasuries empty ; — additional taxes are required, the
people grumble, and in the end insubordination will in many
cases be the consequence. At home the people seem awake

AstrologiCx^l Predictions.
Of the Estival or Summer Quarter,
According to the astronomical division of the Seasons, this
Quarter is considered to begin at the time of the Sun’s arrival
on the parallel of his greatest northern declination, which this
year happens on Monday the 21st of June at 7h. 29m.
when we have the 2d degree of ^ on the eastern angle, and 8
degrees of T on the southern. Moreover, we find J and ])
in 'the ascendant ; ^ in the 2d house; % in the 4th ; ^2
^ in the 10th ; ^ occupies the 11th, and the bright orb of day
is scattering his beams from the 12th house. It also appears
that there are two intercepted signs in the figure at this ingress,
when the following zodiacal aspects come before our notice,
namely, ^ j A and □ D 11, — Further,
is lord of the mid-heaven, and 1^ ascendant of
Ireland, Russian, and Holland, afflicting 1/, in the house of (J, by
his direful opposition. From the whole I am led to think that
fresh troubles are brewing in Ireland, and many I fear will
suffer great privations from conflicting circumstances. When
will superstition vanish from that “ island of the sea,” and her
inhabitants learn to rely more on the Scriptures of truth, and
less on the follies of Popery ?
Of the Autumn Quarter.
At this ingress of the Sun into Libra (which takes place on
Wednesday, September 22d, at 9h. 41m. p.m.), I find the planet
5 in the third house, ^ in the 4th ; © and ^ in the 5th ;
1/ in the 6th ; 5 in the 8th; ^ in the 11th, and Ij i^^ar the
cusp of the 12th house. Although I 2 11 were in ^ on
the 6th of September, yet at this ingress those ponderous bodies
are within orbs of their notable opposition. Independent of this,
no mutual aspect marks this ingress. The lunar aspects about
tliis time are ]) m A with •)(* with 1/, in A with ©,
and in □ with Mars. By way of drawing a judgment from
these positions, we may readily observe that great and eminent
mutations are rapidly following each other on the'wings of Time,
changes that few ever expected thirty or forty years ago. Such
are the inscrutable vvays of Providence, that the very means we
often take to ward off an event, proves in the end the main
cause of bringing it about.
We are now coming to the conclusion of another year, which
is one diminished from the number allotted us here, as rational
creatures, — and is closely linked wdth everlasting happiness,
w'hen time, with all its connections, vanishes away.

Dressing Potatoes^
Mr. Cuthill, the eminent horticulturist of Camberwell, advises
the following process ; — “ After April the potatoes ought to be
peeled at night for the one or two o’clock dinners ; and for late
dinners, at any time before nine in the morning. I have re-
peated this experiment many times, and the improvement in
the quality of the potatoes is very great. It is a w'ell-known
fact that, owdng to the inherent nature of the potato to grow,
it will push in spite of every precaution to stop its growth,
leaving the tuber spongy, and with much of its water extracted
out of it ; and this is the reason why no stale cut vegetable
can ever look well. By peeling, and steeping in cold spring
w^ater for ten or twelve hours, the pores and cells become filled,
however flaccid the tuber may be ; and in the process of boiling,
this fresh w’ater is again discharged, taking wuth it all bad fla-
vour, as w’^ell as partly removing the dark spots which are often
found in late-kept potatoes. I tried them steeped in salt and
water, thinking that, in boiling, the salt would remain in the
cells, w hich it did, and gave the potato a better flavour ; but
the salt turned the outside very brown and did not look well.
I have also steeped cut-sets, which in twelve hours became
firm ; and steeping seeds would, no doubt, have a beneficial
effect upon late-planting sets : but water takes a time
penetrating through the rough skin of a whole potato.”
Dldei'-flower JVine, or English Frontignac,
To every gallon of water add tw'o pounds of lump sugar ; boil
them all together, and clear with the whites of eggs. Have
ready picked from the stem, for ten gallons of liquor, three
quarters of a peck and a pint of elder flowers, and when the
liquor is nearly cold pour it upon the flowers and stir well. To
every gallon add one pound of raisins of the sun stoned, one
spoonful of the syrup of lemons, and to the whole four spoonfuls
oKeast. Let it work two or three days, stirring it well three
times each day : then put it into a barrel with one ounce of
isinglass and a pint of brandy ; close it up well, and let it stand
six months before you bottle it. Take care that the cask is
quite dry before you put it in, otherwise it will turn acid.
The Caterpillar and Gooseherry-hush,
At the time of the year when the gooseberry trees arc apt to

Ammonia in Stables,
In order to prevent the injury to the eyes of horses, which is
the consequence of the ammonia arising from the urine, the
following plan is recommended for fixing it. Procure a quantity
of granulated or powdered peat-charcoal, w'hich is very cheap,
and can be applied by any stable-boy. Such is the affinity
between ammoniacal gas and peat-charcoal (carbon), that the
former, whenever it is any where near the latter, is attracted to
and retained by it ; and thus the serious evil of the dissemina-
tion of the poison is entirely eradicated. Moreover, the inter-
mixture forms a most valuable manure, and wdll amply repay the
expense of the trivial alteration which it wdll be expedient, but
not indispensable, to make, by excavating the centre and end of
the stall to a depth of about twelve inches, and partially filling
up the excavation with the charcoal (the communication from
the centre to the end being by a simple drain), which will
entirely absorb and deodorize the gas.
Gravy,
The following method of making gravy, being very simple and
always at hand, may be found useful. Dip an ox’s liver in water
as soon as it comes from the butcher, and take it out imme-
diately. Mix one pound of coarse brown sugar w ith half a pound
of common salt, and rub the liver with it daily for a week or
ten days according to its size : then take three ounces of salt-
petre and one pound of common salt, boil them to a brine with
sufficient w'ater to cover the liver. Let the liver lie in it six
W'ceks, then hang it up in the kitchen like bacon. When the
gravy is required, cut off a piece of the liver about the size of a
mans finger : this reduced to thin shavings is enough for a pint
of w'ater, in which let it boil half an hour, and then strain off.
This gravy is excellent for poultry or game, and no salt nor
pepper should be added. With a meat bone a piece of ic makes
good soup.

Recommendation to Coitagei'S.
All cottagers that have the means of doing so, that is, who
have a garden, should keep bees and a pig. The latter may be
got up to a very fair size, by feeding him regularly on produce
irom the garden and the wash from the house. Instead oi
beginning, as some do, by giving meal and pollard, keep the
hard feeding until he is more than half fat ; and then buy some
oats (the quantity of course must depend on the size of the pig),
and give him these whole instead of barley-meal.^ Thus he ^^1
be fatted at much less expense than is usually incurred. Ho
not try to sell the pig till he is killed ; as, generally speaking,
more can be got for it when cut up than alive : besides, you
may get several days’ dinner from the inside, by means of the
chitterlings and the hog-puddings. The former, as soona ^
taken out of the pig, must be turned inside out, cleaned, scoured,
salted, scraped, and washed in many waters, till they are per-
fectly sweet and nice : then twist them into little plaits, and boil
several hours. They may be eaten hot when first
re-warmed on a gridiron, or in a Dutch-oven. For the hog-
puddings, if you intend to make these, save a rather
more of the blood, and let it be stirred with salt till quite cold.
When cold, add a quart of whole grits, and let them soak one
night : soak also the crumb of a quartern loaf m two quarts ot
boilin«* milk. In the mean time prepare the guts by washing,
turning, and scraping with salt and water, and changing the
water several times. Chop fine a little sage, winter savoury, or
marjoram, and thyme ; some add a leek or two finely shred ; mix
as much pepper, salt, allspice, and ginger as will season the whole.
If they m-e intended for sale, grate in a small nutmeg. Chop up
some hogs’ fat, not so fine as is usually done with suet ; mix
well the bread, grits, fat, and seasoning, and put them m the
skins ; tie in links only half filled, and boil them m a large kettle,
pricking them as they sw-ell, otherwise they will burst. When
foiled, lay them between clean cloths till cold, and then hang
them up. When to be used they must be boiled or toasted.
Of Drowning.
It often happens that, when persons are apparently drowned,
life is not quite extinct, and may be prese^ed by prompt and
nersevering exertions. As soon as the body is taken out of the
water let it be conveyed to the nearest public-house, or any
other ’house that will hospitably receive it : let no time be lost
in sending for medical aid ; and if one doctor be not in the way,
send for another without scruple. In the mean time let the wet
clothes be taken off, and the body thoroughly dried by rubbing
with cloths ; then let it be wrapped in a warm blanket, keeping

the face upwards and the shoulders a little raised. Having-
placed it on a bed or mattress, made thoroughly hot with the
warming-pan, rub it diligently but gently with warm cloths or
flannels all over, but especially over the belly, chest, and limbs :
after a little time the warmth of the body should be still further
promoted, by placing it in a moderately warm bath of water,
brewers’ grains, sand, ashes, or any other matter most easily
obtained. If there be not a sufficient quantity of these things
at hand to immerse the whole body, flannel bags filled with them
may be applied to the hands, feet, and under the armpits ; or
cloths made hot by the w-arming-pan, or heated bricks, or bottles
filled with hot water ; or blankets and flannels wrung out of hot
water, may be w rapped round the body, and renowned as they be-
come cold. While these things are going on, the pipe of a pair of
bellow's should be applied to one nostril, the other nostril and the
mouth being closed. Blow' gently till the breast be a little raised,
then let the mouth be free, and an easy pressure be made on the
chest. This imitation of natural breathing should be repeated
till signs of life appear, and then gradually discontinued. If
bellow's are not at hand, blow in the same manner, through a
quill, reed, or small pipe. This important means of restoring
the power of breathing must be sedulously attended to. When
breathing begins, touch the inside of the nostrils with a feather
dipped in spirits of hartshorn, or sharp mustard, or blow some
pepper or snuff into them. Though success may not seem to
attend the efforts used, they should, nevertheless, be persevered
in ^Qv four hours at least; and if they should prove successful,
they must not be too speedily suspended. When the person
recovers so far as to be able to swallow', give him, by spoonfuls,
a little W'arm wdne or spirits, mixed with water. When life is
completely restored, the sufferer should remain at rest in a w'arm
bed, taking w'arm and nourishing drinks, by which perspiration
may be promoted and strength sustained. All violent and rough
usage is to be avoided, such as shaking the body, holding it up
by the heels, &c.
Salts.
To distinguish medicinal salts, Epsom, Glauber, or Chelten-
ham, from poisonous articles nearly similar in appearance, as
oxalic acid, &c., the following is an easy test. Before w-etting
the salts take a small pinch and throw it into the fire ; if it be
the proper thing, it will dissolve away like snow ; but if it spirtle
and send up a blue flame like a match, it is certainly something
amiss : besides, the proper salts have a bitter and rather soapy
taste, w'hile the poisonous salts have a sharp, acrid, and burnine:
baste. ^

Broth,
A pound of lean meat will make about a quart of broth, not
more. If two or three kinds of meat are used, the broth is more
nourishing and better flavoured ; and little trimming bits of
beef, veal, and mutton may often be got at the butcher’s very
cheap. The proportion of water wull be three pints to each
pound of meat, to be boiled till reduced to a quart or rather less.
The meat will then be good for eating, and the broth fit to
strain off ; an onion added will improve the flavour. Tho
gristly parts of an animal, such as knuckle and breast of veal,
shanks of mutton, &c., aftbrd the most strengthening broth, but
not so rich flavoured as that wdiich is made from lean meat,
especially from the loin of the animal. It is very well, if you
can, to have part of both. Some persons are apt to let broth
stand till cold, in order to clear it of the fat ; but broth is best
w'hen fresh made ; and if the fat be objectionable it may be nearly
all removed with a spoon, and what remains might be drawn
aw’ay by laying on the top a piece of blotting paper.
Gargles,
If a softening gargle be wanted, as when the throat is loaded
with mucus, which it is found difficult to discharge, take an
ounce of marsh-mallow^ roots, and three or four Turkey figs :
boil them in a quart of milk and water till nearly half reduced ;
then strain the liquor on a table-spoonful of honey, and add half
an ounce of volatile sal ammoniac. If a sharp scouring gargle be
w'anted, to brace the throat and palate, the following is recom-
mended : — Take a handful of red rose-leaves, pour over them a
pint of boiling w^ater ; in half an hour pour it off, and stir in two
spoonfuls of honey, and half a pint of vinegar. Spirits of vitriol
w^ould answer the purpose of the vinegar better, and be cheaper,
but it is a dangerous drug to stand about, and must be kept and
used wdth great caution. Put as much in the gargle as will make
it pleasantly sharp. — A very good gargle ; a pint of bran tea,
sweetened with honey, and one ounce of tincture of myrrh.

Cattle Bndges,
Mr. Matthew, of Caermarthenshire, has devised a simple mode
of constructing bridges to enable cattle and sheep to pass wide
ditches. They consist of poles five inches square, and then
sawed from corner to corner, forming two triangular pieces.
These are joined by a number of common iron butt hinges
according to their length, and have a handle at each end to
open them : thus, when open, one of these forms a safe and easy
foot-bridge about fourteen inches wide ; but when shut, presents
an angular projection, over which neither cattle nor sheep can
"Escape from Fire,
In case of a person’s clothes being set on fire, instead of throw-
ing open the door, and running into the road, as is too often
done by the sufferer in extreme terror, or by those around him,
who, instead of rendering aid, run out to seek it, let the person

(particularly if a female, whose dress ignites so rapidly) fall on
the ground, and roll in a carpet, blanket, curtain, cloak, coat, or
'whatever thick woollen article may be at hand. If any other
persons are present they should assist in doing this, and be par-
ticularly careful to keep all doors and windows shut, as every
draught of air stimulates the flames, which it is the object to de-
press.
Burn or Scald.
In any case of burning or scalding, which is not so bad as to
require medical assistance, or until such assistance can be se-
cured, apply a rag dipped in cold water, and keep it constantly
wet wdth a sponge ; or immerse the part in cold water till the
pain is relieved ; then take it out, and as soon as the pain re-
turns plunge it in the water as before. Do not continue the
immersion so long as to produce numbness, but only so as to
relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation. If it is thought
necessary to persevere in the use of some surgical application,
Goulard’s lotion w'ill be the most suitable. When the finger or
any other part has been slightly burnt, it is an excellent practice
to keep the part almost constantly wet with spirit of sulphuric
ether. This is a most effectual application for checking the
inflammation w'hich would otherwise follow, and the immediate
relief it affords is delightful.
To clear the Eyes of Lime or Dirt.
Syringe the eye immediately with warm w^ater, so as to wash
out every particle of lime or mortar, even from underneath the
upper eyelid, w^hich may be done by setting the point of the
syringe under the outer edge of the upper lid. The eye should
be kept constantly open, and on no account covered wdth a
bandage ; but a green shade, like the front of a bonnet, may be
Vtoruy and the eye frequently fomented with water for several
days by means of a large sponge. If the inflammation should
not subside after washing the eye, it may be proper to apply
five or six leeches as near the eye as possible. A little cooling
physic might be serviceable.
Of Wounds.
All the good that can be done by any outward application is
to keep the parts soft and clean, and to defend them from the
air. Much mischief may be done by the application of hot
balsams, tinctures, and oils. Provided a wound does not bleed
excessively, it heals the better for being allow ed to bleed freely.

Varieties.
In case therefore of a common cut, the best way is to tie it up
with dry lint or rag, or lay on a piece of common adhesive
plaster such as surgeons use ; not the black or court plaster, as
It disagrees with some persons, and produces inflammation.
This adhesive plaster shoiild be always kept in the house : it
will keep a long time and costs very little. It is not however
proper to tie up a wound or apply plaster to it, if any dirt or
other foreign substance should be lodged in it. In that case,
the part should be carefully washed with a feather or sponge
and warm water. Then, if the bleeding has ceased, draw the
edges of the wound close together, and place over some strips
of adhesive plaster ; these should be of different lengths arM
placed slantwise across the cut, one over the edge of another ;
and over this place a finger-stall or binder of linen or riband, as
may be most suitable to the situation of the wound. The first
dressing should not be removed for a day or two, unless con-
siderable pain shows that something is wrong. Nothing more
is required than to keep the part clean, and renew the plaster
until quite healed.
Poisons.
If opium, laudanum, nightshade, or poisonous fungus mis-
taken for mushrooms, or any other stupifying poisons have been
taken, or even spirituous liquors in such quantity as to produce
the like eflects, namely, sickness, giddiness, stupor, and drowsi-
ness, give instantly a table-spoonful of flower of mustard in
water, and repeat it wdth large draughts of warm w^ater, or milk
and water mixed with oil or melted butter or lard. If the
person becomes so insensible as not to be easily roused, give
the mustard in vinegar instead of water, dash basons of cold
water at the head, and rub and shake the body actively and
constantly.
The Barometer.
The knowledge of the proper uses of this instrument is so
important to the farmer, and an ignorant or careless use of it
so injurious, that we think it right to keep it constantly before
our readers.
It should be well understood therefore that the principal cri-
terion of the kind of weather to be expected, is the relative motion
of the mercury in the tube, and that its absolute height is only of
secondary importance, w'hen atmospherical changes are to be
anticipated. The w'ords engraved on the register-plate should
not be much regarded, as they cannot alw'ays be relied upon to
correspond with the state of the w'eather : for this reason thq

words are more deserving of notice when the mercury has just
moved from “ changeable” upwards or downwards.
The absolute height of the mercury is a safe prognostic when
it IS unusually high or low ; and the following observations upon
it may frequently be found to be extremely serviceable; —
1. All appearances being the same, the higher the barometer
is, the more likely is the weather to be fair. When the baro-
meter is high, it will be found that very dark and dense clouds
pass completely over, and that there is very little probability of
immediate rain.
2. When the barometer is low, it sometimes rains almost
without any appearance of clouds ; and though the sky may
seem to promise fair weather, it may be depended upon that the
appearances will not continue long ; the face of the sky changes
very suddenly on such occasions.
Also, when the barometer continues low, there is seldom
much rain, though a fair day is very rare ; the general character
of the weather at such times is short, heavy, and sudden showers,
with squalls of wdnd from the W., N.W., or S.W.
3. The barometer is highest of all during a long frost, with a
N.E. wind ; and it is lowest of all during a thaw following a
long frost, and accompanied by a S.W. wdnd.
4. In all places nearly on a level with the sea, rain may be
expected when the mercury falls below thirty inches.
To judge rightly of the changes to be expected in the
weather, we should especially ascertain whether the mercury is
actually rising or falling. This will be always seen by regularly
adjusting the index of the barometer.
The following rules may be generally relied upon : —
1. The rising of the quicksilver generally presages fair
weather ; the falling generally indicates rain, snow, and, if the
fall be great, high wdnds and storms.
2. When bad weather quickly succeeds the falling of the
mercury, it will not be of long continuance. Similarly, when
fair weather soon follows the rise of the quicksilver, we must not
calculate on its continuance for any length of time.
3. On the contrary, if, in bad weather, the mercury rises
considerably, and continues in an advancing state for two or
three days before the fair weather sets in, we may expect a
continuance of fair weather. And if, in clear w^eather, the mercury
falls remarkably for two or three days together before the rain
sets in it is then highly probable that it will be succeeded by
much rain, and perhaps high winds.
4. In winter, the rising indicates frost ; and m frosty w’eather,
if the mercury falls three or four divisions, there will certainly
follow a thaw ; but if it rises in a continued frost, it will alw'ays
be accompanied wdth snow.

5. In hot weather, the sudden falling of the mercury portends
thunder.
6. If the earth continues moist, and water stands in hollow
places, no trust should be put in the clearest sky.
