FAR NIER 81
WEATHER INDICATOR,
Woodruff's Portable Barometer.

Woodruff's Portable Barometer.
THIS INSTRUMENT should be in
L the hands Of every Agriculturist, as it
unerringly points out any change in the
weather, and thus directs the farmer how
to shape his work and save crop that,
without Barometer, might be caught out
and seriously injured, if not destroyed.
II is simple in construction, cheap in
price, not liable to get out of order. and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being Mercurial Barometer, it is
accurate and reliable for scientific pur-
poses, and is used by the q. S. Coast Sur
vey, and at the Smithsonian Institute.
Washington, besides being recommended
by the most distinguished agriculturists OF
the country, as well as by host of pro-
fessors and scientific journals.
We name few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others: Sci
entific American, American Agriculturist,
Country Gentleman, Boston Journal, Phil.
Ledger, Marshall p. Wilder, Orange Judd,
Professors Henry, llackley, Holmes, Carr,
Williams, Douglass, SC.
The cost of the instrument is within
the reach of all, ranging in price from 81
to 1928. We have five different styles,
from plain maple case to the finest carved
rosewood. Most of these styles have a
Thermometer attached. Styles of this in
strument may be seen at this office, and
at the Hotel of John S. Dallam, Bel Air.

Agritnltural.
a Succession of Good Crops.

Farmers are too often disappointed in
theiy anticipalions Of a good crop. They
ate apt 10 reason in this way: 81 have
raised good crop this year, much better
in fact than | had any reason to expect,
and will see what can do next year
. with the same CROP We were once
u, sed al the story OF a farmer who to
his great surprise raised an enormous crop
of oats. lie was so well pleased with his
success that he was determined to do
better still the next year. So he manfred
his land very high, and put it in the very
b st possible tlIth, with the expectation of
an enormous crop, but the consequence
was that he did not raise all cat.
We believe that it is not common cir
cumstance that very large crops of the
same articles are raised in successive
years. When large crop is secured, it
may be regarded as swinging of the
pendulum in one direction. while nature
demands that it should swing in the OPP
posite direction to sustain the equilibrium.
We are inclined to think that when poor
crop has been secured the farmer should
take the greater courage with the hope
that a superior crop will be the rule the
next year. The apple crop comes under
this rule. 1t is only in alternate years
that a good crop may be expected and a
very large crop once in four or five years.
Expectation is sometimes raised very high
when some quite uncertain crop has sue
ceeded well in single season, with high
prices We recolect several years since
that a splendid barley crop was secured,
for which a Ugh price was obtained, in
situations, too, where the crop had been
very ordinary on All at once every
farmer has his piece Of barley, and almost
every one was doomed TO disappointment
One of the best evidences of tact in
farming arises from the fact that the shrewd
farmer so conirives it as to take advantage
OF the advance prices, so as TO have his
articles for sale ready TO receive a good
price. Some men are proverbial for hav-
ing corn In the garnet when it is very
high.
We may reason pretty safely on the
principle that when we have severe
drought the next season will be a wet one.
We would not discourage any one from
planting and sowing every year, for it is
quite often the case that when crop is
light the advance in prices more than
counter-balances the loss of quantity
Good farming like bookkeeping balances
itself in due time.-.Naine Farmer. ..

How SUGAR is MADE WHITE.-
The way in which sugar is made perfectly
white, it is said, was found out in a curl
Gus way. A hen that had gone through
a clay mud puddle, went with her muddy
feet into a sugar house. She left he.
tracks on pile of sugar. 1t was observ-
ed by some one, that wherever the tracks
were the sugar was whitened. The re-
suit was that wet clay came to be used in
refining sugar. 1t is used in this way ::
The sugar is put into earthen jars, shaped
as you see the sugar loaves are. The
large ends are upwards. The smaller ends
have hole in them The jar is filled
with sugar, the clay put over the top, and
kept wet. The moisture goes down
through the sugar and drops from the hole
in the small end of the jar. This makes
the sugar perfectly white

The WAY BUTTER is MADE IN Non
MANDY.--The following is translated from
Cosmos
"The cream is tied up in canvas bag,
and then buried in hole in the ground
for twenty-five hours. At the end of this
time it forms hard mass, which is broken
up with wooden pestle, whereupon the
buttermilk runs away. A small quantity
of water is thrown on the butter, TO rinse
the last portions of the milk away. The
pounding and the washing only occupy
two minutes, and, as the reader will see,
the butter is made with less labor than in
any churn yet invented. In the winter,
when the ground is frozen, the cream is
buried in sand placed for the purpose in
cellars, and double bag is sometimes en-
ployed, to make sure Of getting no sand or
earth into the butter. ..a

Value Of Advertising.

A few years ago man in Hartford was
keeping a modest shoe store in State street
and in the old fashioned way would proba-
bly, have got along and made a fair living
A day or two ago one of the Hartford pa
pers published list of real estate purchased
within few weeks by this shoe dealer, the
purchase money money amounting in the
aggregate to over $4,000. We know
from items of his previous purchases that
he was already real estate owner to a
large amount. We believe that he still
keeps that unpretending shoe store. How
has he made his fortune? Advertising
That is the whole secret. He has adver-
tised far and wide; advertised by the COL
umn, and by his own or borrowed brains
he made his advertisements so readable,
that often they were the most meritorious
literary productions in the paper He has
kept his name before the people, the people
have bought his goods, and he is now a
wealthy man. The New Haven Register
says: 1--WE have similar example in diff
ferent line Of trade in this city. A gentle
man. who is still young man, came here
with few hundred dollars, and opened a
store 17x18 feet, but brought with him
what was more valuable-thorough knowl-
edge of his business and of the value of adj
vertising. He now lives in one of the fin
est houses in the city, owns largely in real
estate, is sound, for we don't know how
many thousands, and still charging his
business and carrying it on with all energy
and success which Cannot fail to place him
high Oh the scroll of the income tax list.

year were some $50, but no one can
visit his establishment without seeing that

Another Murder.

A German woman, the wife of Jacob
Burkhardt, proprietor of the Prairie Saloon,
in the north west corner of the town of
Greesield, about five miles south of the
city of La Crosse, was. murdered on mon
day afternoon, July 18th, at about three
o'clock. by Bohemian named John Roth
bauer, who went to the house for the avow
ed purpose of killing another woman who is
encieate by the murderer.
The woman whose life the murderer de-
sired to destroy, was in the employ of Mrs
Burkhardt, and the latter refused to allow
Rothbauer 10 enter the house. During the
alteration out side Of the door, Mrs. Burk-
hardt stood with a small child in her arms,
demonstrating against Rothbauer's murder
Gus intentions. Her little boy, aged
twelve years fearing THAT his
mother might be injured by Rothpauer's re
volver, went into the house and procured
a shot gun, which the murderer snatched
out the boys hands Rothbauer fired his re-
volver at th4 boys head, and the ball euter-
ed his left cheek without fatal injury. It
is believed he will recover. .Rothbauer then
placed the muzzIe of his gun near the
head of Mrs Burkhardt and fired. The
skull was laid open and the brains entirely
blown out of her head. In the meantime the
woman whom Rothbauer first intended to kill
bad taken refuge in the grain field behind
the house. MIR. Burkhardt was at the time
at La Crosse The murderer escaped but
was captured by sheriff SoIberg this Tues
day morning, at about one o'clock near
the house Of Rothbauer's brother iD-Iaw, in
Chipmunk Cooley in the town of Ham
burg, in Vernon Co. where the sheriff was
quietly awaiting his arrival.-La Crosse
