Fall Plowing.
" What is your opinion in regard to fall
plowing ? " ask* an esteemed corrfsponlt*nt
"1 have a field I intend planting' to com.—
Would it lie l etter toplow it tins; :.d T!;. n
cultivate it before planting, or to let it Ire a
it is all v\ inter and break it up in ll.e-p. i;g T
If an old sod, or rather heavy soil, we honld
certainly prefer to plow it in the fall, unless it
is low and wet. If a young, It cult by c!< . r
sod, 011 light soil, it might he better to let it
lie as it is all winter, and not plow it till jn.-i
before planting. Tho clover would be several
inches high, and when turned under in the
tpring would help to enrich the land ; and it
is said that the grubs will feast on the clover
and leave the corn plants unmolestc d.
The great error in fall plowing is in not plow
ing early enough. It should be done immedi
ately after the wheat sowing is finished. The
teams can he spared then as well as later
Plowing late in the fall when the ground is
cold and sodden, is of questionable benefit. An
experienced farmer in England once pointed
out to us a portion of a field of turnips that
looked much superior to the turnips adjoining.
On inquiring the reson for this difference, he
said that both porlions had been treated alike,
except that the part which looked the best
had not been "pin-fallowed " —fall-plowed. —
The fact turned out to be that the laud was
not plowed till December, when it was too
wet ; and the next spring it was raw and
lumpy ; whereas the other portion turned up
fresh and mellow. The fact is i.ot one which
militates agaiust the practice of fall plowing, |
but against plowing land when it is too wet. I
Wo recollect of seeing n piece of low wet i
ground, uear this city, plowed late in the fall.
It was a tough sod, and was turned over in
wide, flat furrows. During the winter it pre
sented an almost unbroken sheet of ice, and in
the spring was so wet and raw that it was with
difficulty got ready for planting. Such fall
plowing is not to be commended, llad it been
plowed early, and in narrow and high ridges,
and the dead-furrows cleaned out, and a few j
surface ditches cut, so that the water could
* have passed off, the result would have been
different.
Some good farmers in this vicinity plow
their corn land in the fall, and then sow it to
barley in the spring without plowing again.—
Ooe of the advantages of this plan is that the
barley can be sown earlier, and a portion of
the work which otherwise would have to be
done during the busy season in spring, is done
iu the comparatively leisure season in the fall.
F. lloi.nnooK, Esq., of Brattleboro', Vt., ,
makes the following judicious remarks on this
subject, iu the New England Farmer for 1853
which are worthy of reproduction at this time.
He says :
" From the last of October to tho middle or
later of November is a good time for plowing ■
it preparatory to sowing or planting it
the following spring. The autumnal weath
er is cool and bracing, and the oxen and horses
are strong and hearty for the work ; while the
temperature of the spring season is more re
laxing, and the animals of draught are then i
apt to become laggard and faint, —particularly i
at the business of overturning green-sward.— '
To be seasonable, spring work must at best be i
despatched in a great hurry,and it is relief and
advantage to have the plowing done in the i
fall. If land in corn-stuble is first well harrow
ed, so as to pull open, and level down the hills .
and scatter the stnbbs about, then plowed in
the fall, the stubble, lying beneath the furrows
through the wiuter, will not be apt to come to
the surface by harrowing in the spring ; the
grain and grass seeds can be committed to the
already prepared ground, at the earliest suita
ble day in the spring, the surface of the newly
stocked land will be smooth, the seeds equally
distributed in hairowing, the crop of grain will
be early and thereby luxuriant, and the young
grass, having the benefit of the early rains,will
get good root, be more likely to survive the
heat and drought of summer, yielding a full
bite of aftermath in the fall, and erood succeed
ing crops of hay. S"d land plowed in November
will be free from growing grass in the spring,
the roots of the late overturned sward being
too far deadened by tire immediately succeed
ing winter to spring very rapidly to the stir- ;
face. The plowed land, after being subjected
to the frost of winter, will readily disintegrate
and crumble down in fine particles when har
rowed in the spring,—yielding a mellow seed
bed and facilitating the business of planting j
and the first hoeing, and the manure applied ,
cau be readily and nicely mingled with the
kindly soil. Com planted on sod furrows turn
ed the fall previous, will not be so liable to in- j
jnry from the copper-heads or cat-worms which 1
eat off the young stalk at the surface of the : i
ground, as though tho land had been plowed in
spring. So great heretofore have been the 1
depredations of these worms on my young corn
Whon planted on the sandy intervales which
Were broken up from grass in the spring, that
now the meadow land which is to be made
foady for a corn crop, is iuvariably plowed late
hi'the fall. Hj nicaus of this precauiton the
ravages of the worms have been pretty much
prevented, but few hills of corn being entirely
destroyed,—indeed, in passing through seven
acres of com to-day, vacant hills were not dis
covered, though looked for, and I thiuk there
eao uot be enough loss of crop from this cause
to be of much account."
GIVR AWAY YOI'R FRUIT. —The editor of the
Homestead thus discourses, in a genial way, on i
the advantages of giving away fine fruit, than
which few things once can do give more ex- <
quisite pleasure both to giver and receiver :
" One of the best U3es you can ont a fine
dish of fruit to, is to give it away to some |
friend who will appreciate it, and your skill in j
growing it. It is due to the art of horticulture .
as well as to yourself, to make these offering 3. 1
In no way can the taste for fine fruits, and the i
desire to cultivate them, be so rapidly dissemi
nated. The rich old hunker over the way,who
has all his life-tiine been too intent upon dollars
to think of a fruit yard, or a vinery, will per ,
haps fall into a fit of self-reproach, at the sight
of a four pound bunch of Black Ilaniburgs, 1
presented to his wife She of course praises
the grajics, admires the half transparent skin
refilling the rich juices beneath, hut does not
venture to make any suggestions, though her <
looks insinuate volumes The daughter J< MA
is in raptures with them, as girlhood is wont '
to be with everything beautiful. She wonders J
that papa does not build a glass house to grow
grapes in, and can not keep wonder to herself
The daughter is the old gentleman's special
weakness, as the mother well knows, and she
can safely be left to do the talking.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE

in a delightful and healthy climate 'Jo miles southeast of

past y< ar, - one three hnndit 1 lunwt have been erected,
i wo mills. ..no stc nu, four .'tores, some forty viuyard and
I'e.n h orchards, pi intc-d, and a largo number of other
improve ments, making it a desirable and active place of
business.

come from New Jcr.- cy, aud urcuumtaily exported to the
extent of millions.
In locating here, ti.e settler has many advantages. He
is v. i hin a lew hours ride of the greatiitie-s oi N< w Eng

Bind. Bricks from tlie brick yard opened in the place"
every article can be proenred in the place, good carpen

buildings and improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once he ttruck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up tie fore. The reason is, it was never thrown
in the market; and unless these statements were correct,
no one would be invited to examine the land before pur
chasing. Tliis all are expected to do. They will sec the
land under cultivation, such is the extent of the settle
ment that they will no doubt, meet persons, from their
own neighborhood : they will witness the improvements
and can judge tlie character of the population. If they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to
stay a day or two and be ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.

Instrumental Music will ret, us heretofore, he taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement— a class will
be t. lit in a hall adjt ining tlie grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special pains will be
taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terms will be as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per terra $lO 00

Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver ai their option. It is desira
ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
.Normal Department —Special exorcises aro arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in tlie county, lias kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct tlie course to be pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall terra.
I'rof. Coburn's connection with tlie institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will lie spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and iu rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support

TIOGA POINT IMP'VED RAILWAY HORSE POWERS.
TT7E arc mannfactnrlitg the above unrivalled Powers
VV for One and Two Horses, under Emory's Patent,
which are warranted, greatly superior to the common
Rack and Pinion Power. Our Horse Power is unequalled
for convenience by any other ;—being adapted to a great
variety of uses where pewer is needed ; for the reason
that it is double geared, and that ht!i ends of the main
and counter shafts have couplings all alike, permitting
tin- converge gear wheel, pinion and hand-wheel to be
-hipped from shaft to shaft and from side to side of the
Power at pleasure : by which arrangement five different
degrees of motion are obtained without extra gearing ;
and also, any desirable length and velocity of crank mo
tion for cross cut sawing, pumping and churning. These
Powers run easily, are strong, well finished a-J made
from good materials.
THRESHERS AND SEPARATORS.
These are made of various sizes. They are superior to
those of any other manufacture. <4 which fact anv per
son a ell acquainted with the heretofore leading machines,
will be satisfied upon examination. Our PANNING
MILLS. which ate the very best in market, uiaj fitted for
power to be run in connection with the Trcsher and Sep
arator.
THRESHERS AND CLEANERS,
We have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expecta
tions in inventing and constructing a combined Thresher
k Cleaner of our own, which, we believe, for two horse
power, lias not its superior nor equal. It run* entity and
tin rfhrs and chant fust, without watting the grain , which
is delivered in the measure cleaned (it for market.
These Winnowers are simple, easily managed, and are
warranted to give entire tulitfaction.
UjT We are prepared to furnish at once, or on very
short uoti e, THRESHERS and WINNOWERS from any
of the leading New York manufactories at the same
prices as our own, and no charge for freight. Ail who
want
