Our New IVIIII
We say our new mill, because if there is
any one thing in which every citizen has
special interest, it is the mill—therefore, we
say our new mill. It is now in running
order at last. We were through it on Mon
tlay last from the roof to the water wheels,
and to our notion a better mill, or as good,
will be hard to find.
Messrs. Fisher & MeMurtrie, six months
ago, pulled down that old rat hole, the town
mill, and now in its place stands an entire
new structure, with a beautiful exterior, and
with all the improvements of the age in its
internal machinery and economy. They
have five of the Jouval Water Wheels—four
to drive, five run of stones, and one to drive
the machinery and smutter. Grain can now
be ground at sight. Farmers can come in with
a load of grain and can take the flour home
the same trip. The chopping stones will
chop twenty bushels to the hour. No high
water will stop the wheels in use, and neither
dry nor cold weather will stop the mill. It
is just the thing—farmers bring in your
grain and try our new mill.

REPORT ON LUNAR INFLUENCE
UPON AGRICULTURE.
[Published by a resolution adopted at the last meeting of
the Huntingdon county Agricultural Society.]
To the President and _Members of the Agricultural Society
of Huntingdon County:
The undersigned Committee, to whom was referred the
subject of Lunar hillueeces on Agriculture, Respectfully
Report, That, deetniug, the subject one of great importance
to the farming mannemity, your committee have endeav
ored to give it that degree of attention which its import
ance merits.
When it is remembered that at least two thirds of all
the persons, engaged ha Agriculture and Horticulture, as
well as many of those who pursue mechanical avocations,
regulate all their operations by the " signs" or position of
the moon in the zodiacal constellations, or its place in re
gard to its own and the earth's orbit, it will at once be ap
parent that it is a matter of great importance whether
there is any philosophy or science in this system of Moon
°logy or whether it is but superstition and folly.
When you ask the believers in lunar influences upon
vegetation, in the sense above indicated, for the reason for
the faith iet is in them, they refer you to the alumnae,
and there you may contemplate the figure of a man with
outstretched 'intim, surrounded by the ram, the bull, the
twins, the crab and other animals of various degrees of
ferocity, but the rationale they cannot give, for the alma
nac gives it not; but-their ancestors from time immemo
rial looked to the " signs" and regulated their operations
by them, and therefore, they, their sons and daughters go
un iu the sante beaten track, in "blissful ignorance"
whither it leads or why they go therein.
Your Committee believe tint aeide front the effects pro
duced by the solar light which is reflected upon the earth
by the moon she has no influence whatever upon vegeta
tion. That light, as well as beat and moisture are indis
pensable to beautiful vegetable growth, is a filet too plain
to be denied or successfully controverted. And that the
increased (and perhaps the quality of) light reflected from
the moon when her whole disk or a considerable part of it
which is turned towards the earth is enlightened by the
sun, has the effect of accelerating vegetable growth and
the ripening of crops, are well attested by experience and
in perfect accordance with natural philosophy. But this
has nothing to do with the signs.
The moon being nearer to the earth than any other ce
lestial body, and surpassed in splendor only by the great
orb of day, she has excited the attention of astronomers
in all ages. 'While her magnitude, motions and distance
from the earth have been nicely calculated and made known
to us by astronomers and mathematicians, they have told
us nothing concerning her influence upon vegetation; and
this simply, because they, in all their close observations and
I nice calculations, have never discovered any such influence.
The moon, like other satellites and the planets, is an opaque
body, and shines entirely by the light received from the
sun. Site revolves round her axis from the sun to the sun
again Da days, 32. hours, 4-I minutes and 3 seconds, and
she takes exactly the sante tints to go around her orbit
from new moon to new moon, and therefore constantly
has the same side turned towards the earth, with a small
variation called the libration of the moon.
The nwon's phases. The sun illuminates one half of the
moon at all times; and the amount. of light which is re
flected depends upon the relative position of the observer
and the enlightened part of the moon. Thus, at the time
of conjunction or new moon, the moon is between the
earth and the sun, and that part of her dice' which is never
seen from the earth is fully enlightened by the sun, and
that part which is turned towards the earth is in darkness.
Now, as the motion of the moon in her orbit' exceeds the
apparent motion of the sun by a little over twelve degrees
in twenty-four hours, it follows that about four days after
the new moon she will be seen a little east of the sun after
he has sunk below the horizon. The convex part of the
moon will be towards the place of the sun, and the horns
towards the left hand. As site continues her course east
ward a greater portion of her face towards the earth will
become enlightened; and when she has removed ninety
degrees eastward of the sun she will present the appear
ance of a semi-circle or half moon. And passing still to
wards the east, at the end of 11 , Y 4 '. days, she will be diamet
rically opposite to the sun and will rise above the eastern
horizon as the sun sinks behind the western, a complete
circle or full moon. The earth is now between the sun and
the moon, and that half of her surface which is constantly
turned towards the earth is wholly enlightened by the di
rect rays of the sun, and that half which is never seen
front the earth is in Muteness. Then, progressing still to
the eastward, the 1110011 becomes deficient on her western
edge, and when again ninety degrees from the sun, she ap
pears a semicircle with the convex side turned towards the
sun; still continuing her course eastward, the deficiency
on her western edge becomes greater, and she appears a
crescent with the convex side towards the east; and in
about 14 . 34 days more she has made a complete lunation
and agam overtaken the sun. This shows all the phases of
the moon, and the manner in which they are produced;
and to our minds it is very apparent that these changes or
appearances which are constantly and gradually taking,
plate. can have no other effects titan those produced by M
ere:teed or diminished light.
Nodes el the moan, ca. the " up" and the "clown" signs.—
The nodes are the two opposite points where the orbit of
the moon seems to intersect the ecliptic or the apparent
pat It of the earth. But this intersection is merely imagi
nary, the earth moving around the sun at a distance of 9:5,-
temenio of miles, and the moon around the earth at a dis
tance of 240,000 miles, or less than a quarter of a million
of miles. The orbit of the moon is inclined to that or the
earth at a variable angle, the 111011i1.1111 of which is 5° 9`.—
The nodes make a complete retrogi ado rovolution from
any point of the ecliptic to the same again in /9 years.—
This is called the cycle of the moon, after which the new
and the full moons &c. fall upon the same days of the
month that they did at the beginning of the period. if
the weather depended upon the changes of the moon, every
nineteenth year would have the same sort of weather at
all carresponding seasons. An almanac nineteen years
old would suit for this year and inform us of all the changes
of the moon and the consequent changes of the weather.
But this is at slight digression.
The node where the moon seems to ascend from the
south to the north side of the ecliptic is called the ascend
ing node, and the almanacs make it the 4 • up sign ;" and
the opposite point where the moon appears to descend
from the north to the south is called the descending node
—the down sign. In astronomy these nodes are some
called the north node and the south node, and some
times the dragon's head and the dragon's tail.
If we take two large rings of nearly equal size and place
I the ono within the other so that the one half of the one
will be above and the other half below the other ring, at
an angle of about five degrees, the one rims ' will represent
the orbit of the earth and the other that of the moon.—
The two points of intersection are the nodes. The earth
revolves around one of these rings or orbits annually and
the moon around the other monthly. When the moon,
passing around her orbit, crosses the point of intersection,
(ur an imaginary line drawn from the one point of inter
section to the other) from the south to the north side of
the ecliptic, she is in the ascending, node—in the "up
sign,"—and when she reaches the opposite point she is in
the descending node—the "down siert." The moon is
therefime continually alternating front the one node to the
other ' being about one half the time above and the other
half below the orbit of the earth; but in reality all the
time millions of MHOS from the one side or the other of the
earth's orbit.
Now, if any one can suppose that the attraction of the
moon can' draw up or press down objects upon the earth,
such its roofs of buildings, fences:, flax or manure spread,
joi e that effect must be apparent - in about two weeks, fur
that is the length of time that the moon continues in each
of thew signs. "After that time, the attraction still exist
ing, there would be an alternate drawing up and pressing
down as long as the moon shall wax and wane. Tice be
in the signs have never yet discovered how soon the
selects of the moon upon objects afflicted become visible;
but they do not generally look tar those effects as b 001) as
the moon has passed front the one sign into the other.
Tice zodiacal signs. The zodiac is a broad circle in the
heavens, extending in breadth front the tropic of mimic:ern
to the tropic of cancer. It is about sixteen degrees in
width. The ecliptic is situated in the middle of the zodiac.
The zodiac contains the twelve constellations or signs
through which the sun passes in his apparent annual
course. This circle is supposed to be di t ideal into 360 equal
parts, called degrees, and these again into minutes and
seconds.
The prevalent opinion among learned men is, that the
figures in the signs or constellations of the zodiac, are des
criptive of the seasons of the year, and that they are hiero
gliphics to represent some remarkable event or occur-
rence in each month. Thus, no productions being more
useful to the Chahleans, than lambs, calves and kids, and
they generally being brought forth in the spring of the
year, these distinguished that season. Their flocks were
increased, and the ram was considered a fit representation
of the month in which this occurred. Their herds were
increased and the bull became emblematical of this. And
the goats beins , . ' the most prolific, they were represented
by the figure of the twins. Thus we have Aries, the ram,
Taurus, the bull, and Gemini, the twins, as the represen
tatives of the spring of the year—the figures of the spring
signs. When the sun enters the constellation of Cancer,
he discontinues his progress towards the north pole, and
begins to move back towards the south pole, and this ret
rograde motion is represented by the crab, which travels
backwards. The heat which usually follows in the next
month, (July,) is represented the Lion, an anhnal re
markable for its fierceness, and which, at this season of
the year, was frequently impelled by thirst, to leave the
sandy desert, and make its appearance on the banks of the
Nile. In the next month. harvest commences in that coun
try, and as damsels are generally set to glean in the fields,
like Ruth in the field of Boaz. this season is represented
by a Virgin holding a sheaf of wheat in her hand. The
sun next enters Libra,. at which time the days and nights
are equal, and observe an equilibrium, like a Balance. So
we have the Lion, the 'Virgin, and the Balance for the
stuniner signs. Autunm, in ancient times, produced an
abundance of fruit, (pet haps of inferior quality,) and
brought with it a variety of diseases. This season is there
fore represented by the Scorpion, which wounds with a
sting in his tail as he recedes. The sun enters the next
constellation at the fall of the leaf, when the fields are
cleared of the crops, and the season for hunting commen
ces. The stars which mark the sun's track in this month,
are represented by the huntsman or Archer, with his bow
and arrows and other weapons of destruction. The slim
passing into the next constellation, reaches the winter sol
stice, and commences ascending towards the north. This
season is therefore represented by the wild Goat, which
delights in .climbing and ascending the mountain in search
of his food, which was considered emblezuntical of the as
cent of the sun. The next sign, Aquarius, the water-bear
er, pouring'water out of an urn, is emblematical of the
wet, dreary, and uncomfortable season of winter. The
last of the zodiacal signs is a couple of Fishes, represent,
tug the fishing season.
In the time of the oldest astronomers, the equinoctial
points were in Aries and Libra; but_the signs which were
then in' conjunction with the sun, when ho was in-the
equinox, are now - 30 degrees, or a whole sign eastward of
it ; so that Aries ks now in Taurus, Taurus - in Gemini, &c.
The signs aro the invention of the ancients, and like
that system of fables styled mythology, they had their
origin in superstitious and idolatrous notions. The Chal
deans probably, are entitled to the credit, such as it is, of
imagining that certain groups of stars resembled certain
animals, such as the bear, the dog, the serpent, &c., and
the Egyptians worshipped the host of heaven under the
most of these imaginary figures, particularly the signs of
the zodiac. They also worshipped the sun under the name
of Osiris, imagining it a proper representative of the Dei
ty., shedding light and heat over the universe. And as the
moon received her light from the sun, she was esteemed a
female divinity, and honors were paid her, as such, under
the name of Lie. The overflowing of the Nile, which oc
curred periodically, was particularly beneficial to the land
of Egypt, and as that river always began to swell at the
rising of Sirius, the most brilliant of the fixed stars, they
had a special veneration for the (log star, as if its influence
had brought about tho overflow of the Nilo, and the con
sequent fertility of the toil.
The Greeks displaced some of the figures of the Chalde
an constellations, and placed in their stead such images as
had reference to their own history. The same thing was
done by the Romans; and hence, some of the accounts
given of the signs of the zodiac and of the constellations.
are contradictory and involved in fitble.
Such is the history of the signs Of the zodiac in a con
densed form. These constellations and signs were clus
ters of stars which marked the position of the sun in the
heavens, and were called the "station houses" of the sun.;
They are twelve in number, containing each 30 degrees,
and the sun was about a month in passing through each of
them. When we consider that in the days of their origin,
chronometers and almanacs had no existence, and astrono
my was in its infancy, we cannot but admire the beauty
of the system as well as appreciate its utility. It made a
magnificent time piece of the star spangled canopy, and
the hosts of heaven pointed out the length of days. months
and years. What a perversion it is, then, to make these
signs or constellations the “station houses" of the moon as
she passes around the earth. It converts them into food
for superstition and ignorance, and they carry with them
a train of inconveniences. The moon's transit through
the signs is rapid, occupying but a little over two days in
each, and the almanac makers place her in one sign two
days or three days as best suits their convenience, without
regard to fractious of days.
Ifer example : the sign is in the Crab for two or three
days, according to the almanac, and although the weather
may be fine, and the field in excellent order, the farmer
who consults the moon will not sow or plant in that inaus
picious sign. Or the sign is in Virgo, sometimes called the
" Posey Girl," and everything then sown or planted. will
expend all its energy in blossoms, on account of that girl's
propensity for flowers. And equally good logic is employ
ed in behalf of all the other signs. What folly!
The believer in moonology will no doubt be gratified to
learn that when the moon's position is between the earth
and any of the zodiacal signs, the stars composing that
sign arc so immensely far from both the earth and the
moon, that they cannot possibly have any influence what
ever, upon the earth or any of the operations of the in
habitants of the earth! The fixed stars nearest the earth
are at an inconceivable distance. It may be stated to be
inure than twenty billions of miles; but the common mind
can form no adequate conception of such distance. We
may acquire some faint idea of the immense distance of the
nearest of the fixed stars from the earth, by considering
that the sun is 95,000,000 of miles from the earth, and that
the nearest of the fixed stars is 212,000 times farther dis
tant. A cannon ball flying with a uniform velocity, 500
miles every hour, would require four millions and five
hundred and ninety-five thousand years before it could
move from one of those stars to the earth ; and the differ
ent stars of the same constellations may be at still greater
distances from each other. Such immensity of space is
bewildering- to the ordinary mind ; but these considerations
show plainly that the moon's position in regard to any of
the constellations, can have no influence upon the earth,
which is but as an atom in the universe.
In conclusion, your committee would state that , the facts
embodied in this report, are such as are agreed upon by as
tronomers and mathematicians—such as arc found in the
lessons intended fur the schools; but your committee do
not expect this' report to meet with much favor from a
large portion of the community. Indeed, truth is never
more unpalatable, than when she brushes away from the
mind, a long cherished fallacy, and exposes error in all its
naked deformity. Many will not believe that they have all
their lives been in error. They cannot make up their
minds to surrender their whole stock of "knowledge."—
They will hold on to their blind faith, and continue to reg
ulate their labors and their lives by the signs. But we
trust there are others in whom the presentation of well
established truth—matters-of-fact and of calculation and
observation, will awaken reflection—that they will see the
folly and superstition of the signs, and be ready to follow
the teachings of reason. The scriptures speak of husband
ry—of plowing, digging, manuring—of planting and sow
ing—and of the early and the latter rain—but not a word
of any signs to regulate the husbandman in any of his la
bors And Solomon, who was esteemed a wise man in his
day, was entirely ignorant of the signs which some of our
modern Solomons understand so well, for he is profoundly
silent on the subject, although ho says. "In the morning
sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand,
for thou knowest not which will prosper, either this or
that; Sec." Is it not time that the agriculturist should
emerge froM the superstition which has so long enveloped
him, and follow the advice of Solomon, instead of tibe de
vices of the Egyptians and Chaldeans?
Facts and arguments might be adduced to show that all
the effects attributed to the influence of the moon, could
be accounted for, on truly philosophical and scientific prin
ciples, but they would swell this report, which is already
sufliciently extended, beyond endurable bounds, and we
therefore forbear.
