We have finally succeeded in g-etting- a wonaer- 

 fully pretty little" aneroid barometer that we can 

 sell as low as $U'..nO. One of them has been careful- 

 ly tested lij- the side of our mercurial barometer, 

 and it folloW s the rising: and falling of the mercury 

 with wonderful accuracy. It seems to me that 

 the^e little instruments ought to pay for them- 

 selves over and over again for an.> farmer or g-ar- 

 dener, or any jieison who is dependent on the vicis- 

 situdes of the weather. The instrument much re- 

 sembles a pretty little clock, and it ma.\- be sent by 

 mail safely for 10 ets. e.vtra for postage. You will 

 remember that my method of using (Oi?/ I aromeiei- 

 is to pay little or no attention to where the indica- 

 tor or iiHicuiy stands. When .noii wish to know 

 wliat the w( atlier will be, tap the iiistrunient with 

 the end of your finger. If the indicator (or iiieicu- 

 r.\-» falls, there is a jirospect of rain: if it tises. .>ou 

 are in-etty safe in deciding there will be no rain 

 very soon. If a considerable storm is approaching-, 

 the mercur.\- will keep falling: for some hours, and 

 it will drop a little every time yon touch it, even 

 though .\()U t!<p it as often as once an hour. When 

 it keeps dropping- ft)r several hours, look out for a 

 storm or a big wind. If it keeps rising for several 

 hours, g-o on with your work and you will very sel- 

 dom be misled. ' A. I, HOOT, Medina, O.
