WEATHER INDICATOR,
WOodrufF's Portable Barometer.

WOodruff's Portable Barometer.
THIS INSTRUMENT should be in
i the hands oi every Agricnlturist, as it
unerrlngly points out any change in the
weather, and thus directs the larmer how
to shape his work and save a crop that,
without Barometer, might be caug ht out
and seriously injured, if not destroyed.
II is simple in construction, cheap in
price, not liable to get ont of order, and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being MercnIial 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 a few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others: Sci
entifc 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 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. Dalam, Bel Air.

TNIIS invention consists of Duplex Tor two)
| Elliptic Pure Refined Steel Springs, ingeni-
ously braided tightly and firmly together, edge
to edge, making the toughest, most flexible, elas-
tic and durable Spring ever used. They seldom
bend or break, like the Single Springs, and con-
sequently preserve their perfect and beautiful

Spring Skirt that ever has or can be made.
The wonderful fexiblity and great comfort
and pleasure to any Lady wearing the Duplex
Elliptic Skirt will be experienced particularly in
all crowded Assemblies, Operas, Carriages, Rail-
road Cars, Church Pcws, Arm Chairs, for Prom
enade and House Dress, as the Skirt can he fold
ed when in use 10 occupy small place as easily

A Lady having enjoyed the Pleasure, Comfort
aud Great Convenience of wearing the Duplex

never afterwards willingly dispense with their
use. For Children, Misses and Young Ladies
they are superior to all others.
The Hoops are covered with 2 ply double
twisted thread and will wear twice as long as
the Single yarn covering which is used on all
Single Steel Hoop Skirts. The three bottom
rods in every Skirt are also Double Steel, and
twice or double covered to prevent the covering
from wearing off the rods when dragging down
stairs, or stone steps, &c, &C., which they are
constantly subjec, to when in use.
All are made of the new and elegant Corded
Tapes, and are the best quality in every part,
giving to the wearer the most graceful and per-
feet Shape possible, and are unquestonably the
lightest most desirable, comfortable and econom.

Selecting Seed Potatoes.

We have good authority for saying that
she best time for selecting seed potatoes is
when they arc dug. Then the skins are
cleanest SO that you can judge best OF
their maturity and quality. You can also
best discover which have the strongest
characteristics Of the variety from which
you are scleciing. And every practical
farmer knows how easy it is, when they
are spread out on the ground, to select
those of the right size. Neither the very
largest nor by any means the smallest po-
tatnes should be selected for seed 1t is
by selecting those Of average size, inclin-
ing upward, that you will obtain security
against small potatoes, and considerable
defence against the rot. Andif you select
those of even surface, besides being other
wise better, they will dress more easily
and economically than potatoes having
deep eyes.
Save your potatoes i'll this way for a
few successive years, and great improve
ment will be realized both in the Weld
and quality of your crop. Seed potatoes
should be put up i'll boxes or barrels, and
placed where they will neither freeze nor
get warm We are aware that many may
consider this small matter. Selecting in
this way for one season only is, to be
sure, not OF very great importance; but il
followed up Tor series OF years, the re-
suits will be highly satisiaclory--in other
words sit will pay" Every intelligent,
thinking farmer knows that gaining a
little every year i'll given line of labor,
or method of doing work, the greatest and
best results will ultimately be oblained.-
And he knows, too, how much loss and
vexation would be prevented if he could
get his potato crop free from small ones,
or escape the ravages OF the rot. Be-
sides, there is a general lesson Of instruc-
ton 10 be derived from thus selecting seed
potatoes as you dig them. You learn
that forecast and doing your work in sea-
son are the height OF that practical wis
dom which is the secret Of true success.
Nor will it cost you much more labor
than to wait until planting time. But if
You sell all your crop except what is re-
served for cooking purposes, and then go
an through the winter selecting your best
potatoes to eat, leaving the rest to plant in
the spring, we ask yon how long it will
be before your crop will be SO de,eriora-
ted that your potatoes will be neither pal
n'able, nutritious nor wholesome, and at
the same time the yield 30 diminished as
10 render the cultivation of potatoes very
pro6tiess business ?-Rurai World.

Fence Posts.

Taking the vas, extent OF our country
insa consideration, an incalcnlable expense
Is incurred every spring in the putting up
nf new fences and the repairing of old
ones. 1t has been found that one cause
OF this great trouble AMI expense is the
rapid decay Of those parts of timber fence
posts that are inserted in the ground
Fences would last three times longer than
they usually do, could those pats that
are covered in the earth be so treated as
TO render them as durable as those parts
that are exposed above ground. A great
saving would therefore be effected BY any
simple method OF treatment to prevent rot
in fence posts. This may be effected in
two ways. One by boiling the feet of
fence posts in coal tar; the other by char
ring them. As few farmers can obtain
coal tar, the latter mode is the most con-
venient for them to practice. About Is
inches in length Of the foot Ct each post
should be charred to the depth of one
third of an inch. II will scarcely change
its condition by exposure to the natural
elements, and therefore forms an almost
indestructible coating to the interior lin
Der of posts.
CUTTING STEEL WITH SOFT Iron.
We give, for the benefit OF those interest
ed IN the experiment, the particulars of an
apparatus constructed for the Franklin In
stitute, to repeat Perkins, experiment of
cntling hardened steel with soft iron
disk rotating a. high velocity.
A disk OF steel, such as is used for cir
cular saws, but annealed so as to be very
soft, is mounted OH steel spindle, which
carries also three-inch cast-iron pulley,
and the whole is then carefully balanced
until it will rest indiHeren,ly in any posi-
ton, ON two straight edges. The spindle,
&C., is then mounted on cast. iron &uiucled
bearings A belt Two inches wide on the
pulley Is driven from 36-inch pulley on
an ordinary shaft, which carries also 10
inch pulley, to which motion is given by
4-inch belt from 4S-inch pulley on the
engine shaft. The engine was run 100
revolutions per minute, which would give,
with every allowance for 'slip," between
5000 and 5000 revolutions per minute to
the disk. At this velocity the hardest
files were cut like soft wood, with the pro-
duclion Of a blaze Of light and showers of
sparks, without the least injury to the soft
disk.--,Ionrnai Of The Franklin Institute.
