Aneroid Barometer. 
“ For considering the weather.”— Shakespeare. 
A general conviction that the personal comfort, if 
not safety, of everyone may be promoted by a fore- 
knowledge of the weather has developed a growing 
demand for instruments that will enable observers to 
foretell meteorological changes, and has led to the in- 
troduction of that form of barometer known as the 
Aneroid. This possesses advantages overthe old estab- 
lished Mercurial Barometer, and as a weather indicator 
is the best form of barometer that has been made. The 
instrument we offer is handsomely mounted, with 3)4 
Inches dial, of the best make, strictly reliable, and as 
Indicated by the illustration. We are enabled to make 
a very liberal offer, and will send one of these fine 
Aneroid Barometers for Twelve New Subscribers, by 
express, receiver paying charges. This instrument 
cannot be bought for less than $5.00 anywhere. 
Tripod microscope. Given for two Sub* 
scribers. 
This Tripod 
Magnifier will af- 
ford an Immense 
deal of instruc- 
tion and amuse- 
ment from Its use. 
The smallest seed 
or insect, a drop of 
milk, the quality 
of linen, in fact all 
microscopic ob- 
jects of nature 
come within the 
scope of this little 
Instrument. We 
send it by mail 
postpaid. 
Waterproof Coat— Given for Ten New 
Subscribers. 
The importance and pleasure of keeping dry in wet 
and stormy weather can be appreciated only by those 
who have never enjoyed the luxury of a perfectly 
waterproof garment. Fruit-growers, gardeners and 
farmers especially need them, and for the benefit of 
such, we offer a coat that we know to be absolutely 
waterproof and a perfect protection. This is the 
famous fish brand “ Slicker,” a coat made from fine 
strong cloth, thoroughly waterproof, and re-inforced 
with a waterproof lining, which greatly adds to the 
durability of the coat, and makes it doubly waterproof. 
It has also shoulder cap*, re-inforced pieces in sleeves, 
storm flap in front, patent elastic inside sleeves, and 
the indispensable wire, staple-fastened zinc button. 
Each coat is warranted in every respect. This coat 
is lighter and more durable than rubber and with 
proper care will last for years. Too heavy to go by 
mail. Sent by express at club-raiser’s expense. 
The Enterprise meat Chopper. 
No. 5. capacity Iff) per minute, for seven subscribers. 
No. 10, “ 2ff> “ “ “ ten “ 
The Enterprise cuts the meat like a pair of shears and 
does not mash or grind it. The meat is left in as good 
a condition as when prepared with the old-style chop- 
ping knife and bowl. We would certainly never think 
of using any other chopper in our family. The No. 10, 
shown in cut, weighs eight pounds, chops two pounds 
per minute, and sells for $3.00. Sent by express, the 
receiver paying charges. 
Firefly Plow. Given for Eight New 
Subscri bers. 
Intended for use in small gardens, where horse-pow- 
er cannot be employed to advantage. It is capable of 
throwing a furrow four to six inches wide and one to 
three inches deep. It is easily handled by one person, 
and will do admirable work in loosening the soil and 
destroying weeds. Sent bv express, the receiver pay- 
ing charges. 
Fig Trees. 
With proper care 
It is not difficult to 
grow this delicious 
fruit even at the 
North. It is well 
adapted for culture 
in large pots or tu bs. 
It may also be 
grown out doors 
with winter protec- 
tion. Soil should be 
light and deep, 
moist but not wet. 
Lay the limbs upon 
the ground and 
cover with earth 
like the grapevine. 
Bend gently and gradually to prevent breaking. Three 
trees given free by mail, for two subscribers, or five 
trees for three subscribers.

THE NEW 
AMERICAN ROLLER ORGAN. 
AT MS 
Weight boxed, 15 lbs. Length, 16 inches. Width, 14 
inches. Height. 9 inches. 
This is a handsome little organ operated by turning 
a handle. It differs from the old style in that this 
organ employs no paper. Its music is obtained from a 
roller furnished with pins similar to those of a music 
box. These pins operate upon valve keys made of hard 
steel, the roller being driven by suitable gearing 
which also works the bellows. All the working parts 
of the instrument are easily accessible and are made of 
solid metal, the roller and keys being mounted on iron 
castings and the whole as durable and as well made as 
the best sewing machine. Nothing has been omitted 
to give this beautiful instrument its crowning qualities 
of extreme simplicity and durability. Three rollers 
are furnished with each instrument. We offer it for a 
club of twenty new subscribers, the receiver to pay ex- 
press charges. Retail price $6.00. 
Variegated-leaved YVeigela. 
A superb shrub, of dwarf, open habit, and foliage 
deeply margined with clear creamy-white, which is 
very distinctly defined. Flowers bright pink. It 
stands the sun well, is very showy, and the finest of 
all dwarf variegated shrvbs , Its graceful habit and 
easy culture, together with its elegant foliage, continue 
to render it exceedingly popular with those who have 
once seen it in all its glory. It is unexcelled for plant- 
ing with other shrubbery, its fine foliage contrasting 
with delightful effect.
