Woodruff’s Patent Portable 
BAROMETER. 
It will not be necessary 
to point out to tlie readers 
of the Agriculturist the 
merits of tills valuable in¬ 
strument. Having enlarged 
our facilities for manufac¬ 
turing we are enabled to 
meet promptly the very 
rapidly Increasing demand 
for these Barometers at a 
small advance upon former 
prices. Circulars giving 
fall particulars sent free on 
application by mail. In¬ 
stances have occurred, 
where farmers have saved 
hundreds of dollars annu¬ 
ally-by its use, often more 
than Its cost in a single in¬ 
stance, and scientific men 
have estimated a total sav¬ 
ing Of FIVE PEIS CENT, on 
all crops by tlie use of a 
reliable Barometer to fore¬ 
tell impending changes in 
tlie weather. 
Four years’ experience 
has .incon'estlbly proved 
this to be the most reliable, 
durable, cheapest, and only 
Portable Barometer. 
Independently of its prac¬ 
tical value, it is well worth 
its cost as an ornamental 
article of furniture. 
“We recommend it above 
all others for general use.” 
—American Agriculturist. 
“ It is really a good, prac¬ 
tical portable Barometer.” 
—Scientific American. 
“ You ought to sell ten 
thousand of them this pres- 
“ Were we a farmer we would pay $100 fora Barometer 
rather than not have one, or curtail food and clothing till we 
could buy one. Mr. Wilder’s are the best in the market, 
and very cheap.”—Mother’s Journal.
