That birds have Ions been pmiiIph tn ssiil.
"rs and airriculturisu every one who know!
any mm snout popular weather progv.vs
tics is well aware. Not only have the liig! :
and general action of birds been noted o
all civilized nations, ears the riivaiihaii
'Cia.) News, but among barbarous tribes m
this and other lauds the migratory habit
of the feathered tribe have diswmu t'cd prog
nostics of Goverriiuent signal bureavk.
Wind, rain and other atmospheric changes
are predicted by those who narrowly waurb
tl migration of birUs, and sailors in par
ticaar, who are close observers of tlie
heavens above, the atmosnliere around them
and tLo waters beneath them, base their
pro(fnt3t1cs ou all the peculiar phases of
land, wfttr ar.d sky and the elements of life
winch people them.
Auiotig tho birds which serva.to guide the
saiiors to look out for squalls, the sailoi ei
pects wind when the cormorants fly land
ward. If the gull soars to lofty heights
and, circling round, utters shrill cries, a
storm is approaching. If the parrots whis
tle on shipboard it will rain. If they dress
their fisihrrs and are wakeful it will
storm the next day. If tho petrels gather
uuiier the stern of a Ehip bad weather will
follow. The stormy petrel surely betokets
stormy weiither, and no sooner do they
pa' her in numbers under the waiceof a shiL-
than sailors prepare to meet an impending
tempest.
Hunters are close observers of the kabits
of birds, and many prognostics are learned
ironi the vocabulary of an expei :"nc.il
hunter, who will stay in doors in the .mint
ing when an amateur hunter w ill bs wi;t.wl
out by a clear riry, to come back in tiw raia.
or will find that a moderate tempera ure in
tho morning is no sure precursor of .varm
day. Among, the prognostics the liuiter
draws fro::i birds a few will suffice:
If b: 'U :n tho autumn Rrow tivnie,
Thn w n:er will bo too cold for tamo.
Buts flyo'g late in thecvenii.e indicate
fair weatin i but if they squeak flying it will
rain un tho following day. A solitary buz
zard at a great altitude indicates rain, but
if buzzards (ly high together it will be fair
weather. If chickens crow before sundown
it will raiu the next day. If they run to
shelter it will not rain long. If they come
off the roost at night rain will soon follow.
Tho Zuni Indian hunters sav that when
chimney swallows circle and call they spcuk
of rain, and Indians predict a deep fall of
snow when grouse drum at night. Hunters
and . nshernien have a saying that "there
will be no rain the day the crane flies down
tho creek." One crow flying aiong is a
sign of toul weather, but if crows fly in
pairs the weather will ba tine. If crows
niuko much noise and fly in a circle rain is
expected. If thu cuckoo halloos In low,
land it will rain, if on high land it will bo
fair. Doinij.stlc fowl look toward the sky
beforo ram and go to roost in tho daytime.
If they stand on one leg the weather will
bo cold. If birds are fat and- sleek in Feb-,
ruary it Is a sign of more cold weather. If
geese walk cast and Uy west it will be cold.
An old proverb says: "When the hci
crows, expect a storm within and without,"
and hunters say that tho direction the loon
flics in tho morning will be the direction of
tho wind the next day. Owls hooting In the
daytime indicates' rain, but If at Dight tho
weather will be fair.
When tho peacock loudly bawls
Soo:. wu'U have both rata and squalls.
Pigeons return to their dovecotes unusu
ally early before a rain. Tho habit of wild
goeso are watched, and furnish many prog
nostics. The following is a popular verse :
Wild goese, wild gecso, going to the soa,
Good weather It will be:
Wildgoete, wild geese going to the hill,
Tho weather it will spill.
In Kansas, whan wild geese fly to the
southeast in toe tall, the, people expect a
blizzard.
Tnere are many prognostics of the season
which have thoir origin In the migrations of
bird:!, aod in the poculi ir formation and ap
pearance of the gooso bone, which is to-day
looked upun by thousands of people as a
sure prognostic of what tho coming winter
will bo, an:! ill Kentucky, if tha issue should
be rai led whether tiie Hignn. Service Bu
reau or the goose bone buouid ro. the- Ken
tuckian would cling to the go, bone; in
fact Henry Watte reon, if he had to choose
between the star eyed goddess of reform
and the goose bone, would not dare to of
fend K.o::tuoki.ins by discarding tho pro
phetic bone. The people of Kentucky say
if the breast bono of a gooso is red, or has
many red spots, expect a cold and stormy
winter, but If only a fow spots aro visible,
the winter will be mild, and they furnish
the following rocipe so that it may be read
intelligently, which instructions aro as follows:
"To read the winter of any year take tho
breastbone of a goose hatched during the
preceding spring. Tho bono is translu
cent, and it will bo found to be colored and
spotted. The dark color and heavy spots
indicute cold. If the snots aro of light shade
and trai).Hwre:it, wet weather, ram or snow
may be looKi t for."
VVhon will' geese and wild ducks move
south tno woutiior will be cold, if north,
the weather will be warm, and the birds
migrate south much earlier if tho winter
will bo early. A severe winter f Hows if
crows fly south, but if they fly north it will
bo an open winter. No killing f r-st comes
when the martins turn to their old haunts,
and tho first song of tho robin is the voice
of spring. The swan is said to build its nest
high during seasons when freshets visit tho
localities whore the swan broods, and those
who cultivate low lands note how the
swan's nest is buiit, If it is built low there
wiil bo no unusual rains. There are many
other prognostics derived from obnerving
the habits of birds, of interest to the sea
man and land lubber, and ir concluding the
popular prognostic of tho farmer, drawn
from watching the nest or tno swanow, is
given :
