The heart of the fool is m his mouth, but the mouth of the wise man is in his heart -Benjamin Franklin -~i Ask the Old Farmer What is the opposite of "neap" tide, and I don't mean "flood" tide? Seems to me I have heard a regular name ANQi for it but can't remember it B L., NY. You are correct Normally, the tides are called "flood" and "ebb," but when the moon is in the proper phase, you get "spring" and "neap" tides, one abnormally high and the other proportionately low Home Hints: Clean enamel-lined pans and dishes by scouring with eggshells and rinsing in clean warm water Dry with a soft cloth OLD FARMER'S WEATHER FORECAST New England: April snowstorm.
