HOW TO JUDGE GARDENING WEATHER
A clear-looking moon indicate* frost. A dull looking moon mean* rain. A single halo around the moon indicates a storm. If the moon looks high, cold weather Is promised. The new moon on her back always indicates wet weather. A -double halo around the moon means very boisterous weather. ‘‘The wider the ‘boch’ (or ring), the nearer the storm.” A break shows
tvhat ivay the wind will blow' during the storm.
If the moon be bright and cleat when three days old, fine weather is promised.
When the moon is visible in daylight then we may look forward to cool days.
When the points of the crescent of the new moon are very sharply defined, frost may be looked for. Re the above, an old Scotch worthy used to say the new moon reminded him o£ a tub half-full of water. “It ye coup it the least bit to ae side the jaups are sure to jaw oot.”
