Another point : I have spoken thus far of the temperature of the air only. But this is not the only thing of interest to the farmer; the temperature of the soil itself is of equal consequence. This is a study into which philosophers, whose researches are con- fined to the crust of the globe, have entered largely. If you bore down into the earth to the depth of 60 feet, and let down a thermometer into the bore, you will find that, in summer, the temperature at a certain depth, varies. It rises i...n summer, owing to the fact that the sun affects the temperature ot the earth down to a certain depth, and so does the cold of winter. The thermometer, indeed, will never remain station- ary, until you reach a certain depth — about 50 feet below the surface — there, the thermometer remains stationary the year through, showing that the sum- mer and winter do affect the temperature of the earth, to the depth of fifty feet. The depth at which the thermometer remains stationary, indicates a cer- 86 THE RELATIONS OF METEOROLOGY ain degree of temperature of climate If at Albany, for instance, it were fixed at fifty feet, it would be fixed at that depth, one hundred years hence, as no doubt it was one hundred years ago.
