I work under Col. $utler, who is at the head of this office. Our objects is to establish stations all &V- *>ver the State, and when a prediction Teaches Washington sond it out in all .directions so that the farmers may be , benefitted by it. In some States the |SM' Signal service flags predicting tho wenth SX lure flown from the traius passing ^ ^fi6u^h the farming country, and we ; .^rill try to induce the railroads in this ?3tate to dis play tho flags on their trains. : jFrom our stations in all sections of the -State we will receive monthly reports . _ .1- _ J.H_ ... . - .. w- ,#? tu vuu aany temperature ana tbe j?&}j.
