The Farmers and Dairymans Almanac for the Year 1852

Almanacs contained practical information about the coming year. Readers normally found a calendar, weather predictions, tide schedules, and information related to agriculture, health, politics, astronomical events, and other matters. Interspersed were jokes and witty sayings. Publishers of this almanac touted its astronomical calculations by the principal of the New York State Normal School, perhaps to influence customers to choose this almanac.
