j The weather prophets are already
j out in full force, providing for the
: coming winter. If the accepted signs
i mean anything at all, it will be the
j severest in twenty years. Cornshucks
| are reported to be* over a foot thick
1 in some localities. Geese, ducks and
| chickens are growing a heavy coat of
fur underneath their feathers. Squir
rels are rubbing powdered borax on
j their feet to harden them. The one
I eyed owls are leaving their holes a
month earlier than usual. Bob-tailed
! gophers are laying in sweet potatoes
i and canned goods, as well as nuts for
; winter provisions. Auburn barbers
; report an increased demand for hair
restorers for bald-headed men, and
several of our smooth-shaven citizens
are growing beards. Latest reports
from the farming districts indicate
| that the winter squash will have deep
| wrinkles in them this year. The last
i time this happened the weather was
| cold enough to freeze the handles on
the milk buckets. Babbit's ears are
long and covered with hair this fall.
| If this means anything at all it
S means at least twenty degrees below
1 zero from November* to May. Cows
are said to be hunting for pieces of
red flannel to wrap around their tails
and the wise hogs are rooting their
way to the center of the straw stocks.
