FARMERS
WEATHER INDICATOR,

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 ont Of order, and
the onl y 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
entlfic American, American Agriculturist,
Country Gentleman, Boston Journal, Phil.
Ledger, Marshall P. Wilder, Orange Judd,
Professors Henry, Hackley, Holmes, Carr,
Williams, Douglass, SC.
The cost of the instrument is within
the reach of all, ranging in price from So
to 1928. We have five different styles,
from plain maple case to the finest carved
rosewood. Most of these styles have
Thermometer attached. Styles of this in
strument may be seen at this Office, and

Agrltnltntal =
Preserving Roots.

Mr.. Mechi, the great English farmer,
whose root crops are the wonder of all
beholders, recommends the following
method Of packing and storing roots:
ia sit is the greatest possible mistake TO
store roots in dry condition, and free
from soil they die and then rot, the same
as we ourselves should when our vitality
had departed. They are never in a
better condition to store, than when the
sticking clay comes up attached to the
roots of the bulb-the more clay the
better. You will find this clay full of
fine white living ibres, proving that the
vitality Of the plant still remains. Your
great object should be to keep this earth
and these fbres is moist condition, by
preventing evapora ton. Nothing will
do this better than soft barley straw not
losely and carelessly thrown OH the
clamp, but laid straight as thatch. The
additional cost is only Cd. per acre, or rs.
3 on clamp, and it may save many tons
OF roots from rotting. Having matched the
clamp, we then cover it well with earth
that has been ploughed up around the
clamp, leaving some pipe holes at the top.
1t is great mistake to throw the mangel or
roots into small heaps on the field when
pulled, and let them lie waiting for cart
ing. The earth gets dried and falls from
them on second handling. They ought
to 10 be pulled, thrown into the cart and
conveAeu to the clamp. ! look upon
this as most important, the earth attached
to the roots being retained.
81 observed to-day that the mangled
bulbs taken from the clamp had the wet
clay sticking to the roots, the bulbs being
as juicy, heavy and crisp as when they
were taken up six months since. A
friend of mine having Aery fine piece of
white turnips which he wished to pre-
serve for his cows, pulled them, and
!; placed the bulbs touching each other, with
the tops, on pasture close to the home
stead. The turnips fbred in the grass,
the foliage protected the bulb in the severe
frost, and his turnips remained available.
They occupied a very small space when
so packed. 1t is great mistake to I'M
cover the top.of your clamp in the spring
Keep out the air. .....

How to Distinguish Good from Bad Calico

a. $3.50 s~s~~~
The cost of yard of calico is mat
ter of considerable importance to the con-
sumner who studies economy; but unfor-
tunately there are those who, in wishing
to practice frugality, deceive themselves
into the idea that because an article is low
in price, it must necessarily be cheap
The result of this is demand upon the
manufacturer for low-priced goods, and
he, to keep pace with the wants of his
customers, introduces into his wares, when
practicable, certain preparations calculated
to hide the fiimsiness of the products he is
thus called upon to supply. . 4, III
, This system of ''dressing and finishing"
as it is called, is practised at the present
time to a greater extent than ever it was
before, owing to the enormous advance in
{ the price of cotton, Of late years. The
commonest calicoes are ''dressed" with
-four, china-clay, etc., and are generally so
artfully filled" with one or other prepa-
rations, as TO be very receptive to the in
experienced eyes, 'f,a - ~ IA
When, however, such a dressed fabric
comes TO be washed, the "extra fine
finish," as it is not unfrequently called,
disappears, leaving a soft, Aabby and loose
ly woven texture in the hand, while the
water is almost thick enough for bill
sticking purposes. The finest "makes,"
OH the contrary, contain scarcely any
powder,C and should never appear any
worse for a soaking in the wash-tub. u
In order to ascertain to what extent a
plain calico is finished, we have but To rub
small portion of the piece to be tested
sharply between the finger and thumb of
each hand, for this snakes the powder
fly" as the Manchester men say. If it be
of the commonest quality, large quantity
of "dresso will be extracted. and we shall
soon see that the threads are left as far
apart as those in sieve, crossing each
other unevenly, and in places going of,
as it were. in tangents. Then, if we draw
ont single thread and pull it asunder, it
will be found to break with a swapping
sound. II, on the contrary, the calico is
a good one, scarcely any such dressing
will come out of it on rubbing it; the
threads will appear closely woven togeth-
err; a single thread drawn out will rather
burst than snap when pulled asunder, and
the separated ends of such thread will pre-
sent fluffy appearance, while the whole
piece will be firm and elastic to the touch.

CURE FOR FROSTED FEET.-I know
a remedy against chilblains which is so
simple and easy that doubtless many
would hardly think it worth trying. As,
however, it completely cured my poor
feet,iiwhich had suffered for fifteen winters
with chilblains, and to which all possible
lotions and salves, &C., had been inefiec-
tually applied, | am most anxious to give
those who are similarly affected the bene-
ct of my experience. The remedy con-
sists in hot footbath only; but the
water must be as hot as can possibly be
endured, and the feet, after having been
kept in from fifteen to twenty minutes,
must be immersed into cold water, to pre-
vent catching cold. An instant relief
will be experienced from the burning and
Itching sensation. ......... a.. ..>,.-,. ..
