Now I turn to meteorology. This exact science has often been derided and has been the butt of comic papers, be cause the forecasts in this country do not always coincide with the weather experi. enced. This is due largely to the fact that England and Wales being an island and not land of a continental nature were more subject to fluctuations than large continental areas. However, with the advance of wireless telegraphy the, wonther likely to be experienced can be much more accurately determined. in all countries meteorological system arG of supreme importance to stock-raisers and farmers in general.
