- (continued from previous page)Bad Weather is coming.
When the salt in the box is damp, or if the walls sweat.If the cattle run, and throw up their heels in the Winter-time, a sign of snow.If the cats sit with their backs to the fire.If rheumatic Pains are very painful and hard to bear.If the stars are twinkling a sure sign of frost.If the hens, ducks, geese, and other domestic animals are ravenous and very hard to fill.If the kitchen floor is damp, and when the smoke blows down the chimney through the kitchen.
