one of the first Old Farmer'!
to the boss and said:
What shall we put down for
The boss, who at the time
Meets, yelled back in thought-
flies haste:
("Anything, anything."
I The printer, who knew how to
follow a command, picked "any
thing" out of his typebox
"Bain, Hail and Snow."
j The record shows that In one
town, at least, It rained, snowed

J The old Farmer's Almanac,
which has just come out with its
158th consecutive issue, Is dog
gone near that accurate. The
oldtime weather prophet, which
has been published these many
years in Dublin, N.H., still gives
jrou everything it did in long by
gone days.
' i It still carries poetry, sassy
letters to the editor and recipes
for banana bread and pie. Plus
what to do In case of snake bites,
f And the laws, by states, on when
'to take a pot shot at what migra
tory bird.
I Not to mention the ads: "You,
too, may be helped by internal

j The little homilies are inter
', esting as they have been across
sthe many years. On page 73,
there Is a paragraph about "wire
-recording your hens." It men-
tions the Nelson Brothers of
Kirkland, Wash. They wire-re-
corded their henhouse and had
! wonderful results. Brother Bert
ieven rigged up a contraption
where he could tell which hens
were laying. He set a trap door
where he could tell which hens
1 were laying. He set a trap door
that jailed a hen as she climbed
J up to hide in a nest. If she
dropped an egg, he could tell It
whon ha rlnri her
Anyhow, here's what you can
expect in 1950, according to the
old Farmer' Almanac: A "wet"
winter.
November and December,
1S50, will be bitter cold and
will give us more storms and
rain than common. In this con
nection, Editor Robert Thomas
ays he sends a small boy out
each year to measure the fur
on the animals to tell about win
ter. On February 2 Ground Hog
day the little guy will come
out of hiding and find the weath
er so nasty, he'll duck back in.
But Mr. Groundhog will venture
tout again at night and win see
his shadow by the light of the
moon. Spring will be cool and
late.
And here is what you can ex
pect for holidays in 1950:
New Year's day will be cold.
It's going to rain on Lincoln's
birthday, February 12. You
may expect either rain or snow
on Washington's birthday, Feb
ruary 22. Easter. April 9, will
