Show Animals Can Foresee Changes in Weatner If you see a bull loading the herd like a colonel at the head of a battalion, bat-talion, you may be sure that rain is on the way. The bull leads the herd like that when he is angry, because his temper has been ruflled by the prospect of rain. To see a bull licking lick-ing his hoofs is also a sure indication of rain. In fact, some animals make very reliable guides to impending weather changes. When a dog seems sleepy, disinterested, and evinces a sudden loss of appetite, it is a sure sign of a heavy fall of rain. The continual cackling and quacking of duck's and geese and other poultry is said to indicate in-dicate rain. |
