If gentle and agreeable winds blow from the north, north-east and east, if the sky should be clear, if the Sun and Moon should appear surrounded by bright, white, thick halos; if the clouds should appear huge, bright, dense or shaped like a needle or a sword and red, if the sky should appear dark as the crows egg; If the Moon and Stars should appear white; if the twilight should be marked by the rainbow, by the low rumbling roar of thunder, by lightning, by the mock Sun or parhelion, if it be of agreeable appearance, if groups of birds and animals should sound sweet music from the north, north-east and east; if the planets should appear of large bright disc, if their course should lie to the north of the constellations, if they should be free from abnormal affections, if the trees should grow well and be free from disease; if men and cattle should be happy; then these are indications of a healthy pregnancy and in such cases the clouds will yield abundance of rain. We will now proceed to state the indications of a healthy pregnancy of rain-clouds in the several seasons of the year.
