The little yellow covered book, made to fit conveniently into an overall or apron pocket, and punched with a hole to hang on a hook over the sink, is now in its 161st continuous year of pub- lication. With its illustrated wood- cut curlicues on the cover, show- ing scenes of the four farm sea- sons and portraits of Benjamin Franklin (who edited the first American almanack) and Robert 'B. Thomas, editor of the alma- nac "first issued in 1792 for the year 1793," the homely booklet is a treasure chest of anecdotes, in | pleasantries, household hints, farm advice, tide tables and astrology guides that is cherished and used from coast to coast, both in Cana- da and the United States. The tone of Old Farmer's Alma- nac is set on the title page with an old Maine Weather Verse, to wit: Dirty days has September, April, June and November; from January up to May, the rain it raineth every day; all the rest have thirty-one, without a blessed gleam of sun; and if any of them had two and thirty - they'd be just as wet and twice as dirty. From page 13 to page 35, the farmer's calendar is perhaps the most fascinating part of the alma- nack, with its intriguing jungle of dates, aspects of the planets, ti- dal heights, zodiacal signs and given a smart decorative finish | Edmonton, Alberta. 4 [""important dates in history" | [couplets of marital advice. and 'Battle of the Apparitions in the Air, January 23, 1642." "Carlson's | "Enterprise" sank, January 10, 19- 52." "As the days lengthen the cold strengthens." 'Milder days with few sun's rays." The alma nac doesn't seem to be so far| out for this particular week of January. If you're troubled with rust spots soak with lemon juice and then cover with salt and then allow to stand in the sun until the stain disappears. (We haven't started to rust yet!) Ice berg patrol starts on March 3 - that's a Tuesday. Sugaring off begins the following Saturday, when the Moon, bless 'er old heart, is at greatest brilliancy. "Watch out for year's most violent storm," heralded for mid-March. The bull market began on March 24, 1928, we are told. LATEST INNOVATION The latest in baled hay, the Almanac says in the section on Farm Miscellany, are the rolled bales, the advantage being that their curved surfaces turn mois- ture and rain and protect the seal- ed-in layers beneath. "Shakespeare born April 26, 1564." "Quail saved Israelites - April 22, B.C." "Canadian geese arrive Canada, April 30." "Rain, rain, gives everyone big pain. " (It might be verse!)
