Mr. Bybee bases his prognostica

on the north end of his cows, "the
smell of the air," and also "a wet
year is due." Last year -Mr. Bybee
opined there was no use looking for
any spring rains or much buow in
tho bills, and he was right.
(-'onclderable snow has fallen in
the high pluces but not enough to
cause any excitement, and is re
