   one certain place on a Summer’s evening reminds certain people of rain.
   Even at the fireside we may see the cat scraping the sugans and this is a sure sign of a storm.
   Some cascades when roaring loudly give a warning of rain while others do the contrary.
   When cows are very much inclined to lie down on a Summer’s day it is a sign of wet weather is close at hand. A ring around the moon is another sign of rain.
   It is believed that when the hen picks herself she is expecting unfavourable weather.
   We need not expect frost or snow unless the wind is blowing from the North and North East. We may often see the stars jumping and many people say that this is a perfect sign of frost.
   We can expect the wettest weather of all when the wind is blowing from the south east.
   When the soot falls and when the smoke goes up the chimney slowly we know then that the weather is unsettled.
   When the farmer see his dog eating grass he is not at all delighted because he knows that it is not a very good sign of the weather.
   When the sky is red at sunset the farmer feels delighted as he expects a period of fine weather to follow.
