FORTY YEARS AGO.
(From “The Manawatu Herald,”
December 2nd, 1879.)
Rainfall. —The rainfall at Foxton for the month of November was 4.05 inches, rain falling on sixteen days. In conned ion with the rainfall it is worlhy of remark that although November is a summer month a good deal of.min occurs in it; thus in 1874 (he rainfall a I Foxton for November was 3.01 indies; in 1875 it was 0.55 inches; in 1870, 3.55 inches; in 1877, 3.75 indies; in 1878, 4,15 inches, and in 1879, 4,05 inches. This, considering the 7 average annual rainfall at Foxton, is not quite 40 indies, shows November to be a risky month for shearing or haymaking.
