.fanner's Department.
Calendar of Operations for October. 1859.
Farm.—October brings with it labor enough
to keep the fanner steadily employed, Before
the end of this month most crops will need to
be harvested. The turnips are still growing,
and, except at the far north, may be left in
the ground until next month. Some of the
corn will probably remain unhosked at the
close of the month, but it is always best to se
cure all that is possible before cold weather and
late Autumn rains set in.
We are quite of the opinion of the farmer's
widow, who wished it " would always rain 011
nights and Sundays, so that hired men might
rest," but we think the occasional rest furnish
ed by a rainy day to all workers on the farm
—proprietor and boys as well as hired men—
is a valuable recuperative of strength and vigor.
Rainy days should, in part be devoted to read
ing and thought ; still, as many persous will
not improve the time thus, ami as work for
dull weather, by having under cover fence
posts and rails to be fitted, gates, or portable
fence to make, muck to be manipulated with
manure, grain to thresh or clean apples to be
ground into cider or prepared for drying, and,
other jobs that can be attended to when field
work is impracticable.
Buildings—Wait not for cold storms of win
to compel outside repairs. The windows aud
shutters of the house need examining, the roof
may want a few shingles, a crevice iets in the
storm behind the cattle stalls of the barn, and
a batten is off near ihc horses. Repair then
early, and make provisions for sufficient for all
the live stock during Winter.
Beeves—Complete fattening and kill before
very cold weather. It will cost less in warm
weather.
Cattle —As the Fall pastures are getting
short, some feeding will be needed. There is
much refuse about the gardens, such as half
grown turnips, and their tops, cabbage trim
mings, small beets and carrots, unripe tomatoes
cucumbers and squashes, the remuuut of the
corn patch, ect., which may well be fed out
now, in connection with the field pumpkins.
Cellars.—Look to the drain, that 110 water
be allowed to stand in the cellar.
Cisterns should be provided for the barn if
no well or Spring water is convenient. Con
struct them before Winter sets in.
Corn.—Select seed, if not already done.—
aud shock any fields still standing. Husk
early and save the fodder in good condition
for feeding. Avoid putting the corn in a green
or wet condition into large bius or cribs, with
poor ventilation. Save all the stalks aud
husks for Winter feediug of cattle.
Draining.—October is a good month for this
operation, and the sooner it is now done the
bet'er, before Fall ruins set in. See that open
ditches on wheat and rye fields aud elsewhere
are clean to carry off the surface water during
Winter.
Farmer's Clubs.—Now is a good time to
form them, as the evenings will afford a good
opportunity for weekly meetings to discuss im
portant agricultural topics.
Forest leaves make a good manure, and also
a fine bedding for all kinds of stock. Collect
a large supply.
Drain.—Thresh out as fast as practicable.
It can be kept with less waste after it is thresh
ed. In winnowing, take especial care to screen
out cockle and other foul seeds. Save the straw
for bedding or to cut and mix with ground feed
for cattle and horses next Winter. It is too
valuable to be wasted.
llogs.—Fatten early, as it takes less food to
do it in mild weather. Grind the corn and cook
both meal aud vegetables before feeding. If
the corn can not be ground, boil it until soft.
Do not neglect their manure apartments.—
Make the hogs pay their way in part.
Ice Houses.—Construct now rather than
leave until near the time for filling. They
need cost but few dollars.
Indoor Work.—While butter making is
going 011 by day, the lengthened evenings allow
of a systematic course of reading,ol* the young
er members of the family may take up a series
of studies, to very good advantage. Give your
wife a sewing machine now that the Winter
clothing is to be made up, and dispense with
the annual services of the seamstress, who lias
usually been employed for weeks at least, at
this season. Paring apples is an evening op
eration in many places. With a good maohiue
the work may be much facilitated.
Manures —Manufacture all that is possible,
drawing up the muck deposit, pond or canal
sediment, collecting saw dust, spent tan, and
forest leaves as absorbents. Turf from the
road sides or headlands may also be added,
especially to the compound in the hog yards,
throwing in a little corn to induce rooting or
turning over of the mass. Continue to work
the muck swamps until excessive wet drives
you from the claim. We have even seeu a
pump rigged in a pit which one worked while
the other shoveled out muck. Draw a large
quantity to the buildings for bedding and an
absorbent of liquids. It pays.
Paint Buildings and Fences now, rather than
leave them until Spring. There is less danger
of Hies and dust now aud the paint hardens
better than in warm weather.
Plow stiff or clayey soils, turning them up
to the action of air and Winter frosts.
Potatoes.—Complete digging, before frost
has injured them, and store for Winter with
as little exposure to sun as possible.
Poultry require a greater supply of meat or
fish as their insect food diminishes. Cleanse
their roo*s often, and bantl the contents for
home guano. Pack r.way a quantity of eggs
In salt, or pickle in lime water for Winter use
and market.
Pumpkins will need housing, before hard
frosts. By keeping them in a cool, dry place,
nnder cover, until freezing weather sets in, and
then in a dry cellar or other place, out of the
reach of frost, pumpkins may be kept for tabic
use uutil winter, sometimes longer. Of course
tliey should be handled with much care. Feed
plentifully to milch cows aud other stock, if
the crop is large.
Root Cellars—lf there is not room to store
turnips, ect., iu the house or barn cellar, a
good place can easily be made by digging into
a side hill. Fill with roots and make a roof
over, covering with several feet of earth. Good
drainage is essential.
Sheep.—Supply with salt, and see that their
feed is sufficient. Keep the buck from them at
present except at the south. Lambs should not
come iu until warm settled weather in Spring.
Sugar Cane. —Cut and manufacture the re
maining crop as fast as may be. Let the boil
ing be done in the open air, or at least with
a good draft circulating over the pans. Save
the skimmings for vinegar.
Tools—Put away in a dry place nnder cover
any which are no longer wanted, first cleaning
and oiling, or coating steel and iron surfaces
with lard and resin.

\ NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE^
I V MKNT To all wanting farms, a rare opportunity
in a delightful and healthy climate 25 miles southeast of
Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, New
Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousands of
acres of productive soil has been divided into Farms of
various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population of some
Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the middle States
and New England have settled there the past year, im
proved their places, and raised excellent crops. The
price of the land is at the low sum of from sls to S2O
per acre, the soil is of the best quality for the production
of Hheat, Clover, Corn, I'earhes, llropes anil I'egrta-
Ides. it is considered the best fruit soil in the Union.—
The place i- perfectly secure from frosts—the destructive
enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, grass and fruit are
now growing and can lie seen, lly examining the place
itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the produc
tiveness of the land. The terms are made easy to secure
the rapid improvement of the land, which is only sold for
actual improvement. The result has been, that within the
past year, some three hundred houses have been erected,
two mills, one steain, four stores, some forty vinyard and
Peach orchards, planted, and a large number of other
improvements, making it a desirable and active place of
business.
The Market, as the reader may perceive from its loca
tion, is the best in the Union. Produce bringing double
the price than in locations away Irom the city, and more
than double the price than the West. It is known that
the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude
come from New Jersey, and arc annually exported to the
extent of millions.
In locating here, the settler has many advantages. He
is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New Eng
land and Middle States, lie is near his old friends and as
sociations, lie is in a settled country where every improve
ment of comfort and civilization is at hand, lie can buy
every article he wants at the cheapest price, and soil his
produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed,)
he has schools for his children, divine service, and will
enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, where fev
ers are utterly unknown. The result of the change upon
those from the north, has generally been to restore tliein
to an excellent state of health.
In the way of building and improving, lumber can be
obtained at 'the mills at the rate of $lO or sls per thou
sand. Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place*
every article can be procured in the place, good carpen
ters are at hand, and there is no place in the Union where
buildings and improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once lie struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up before. 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. This all are expected to do. They will see 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 the character of the population. If they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to
stay a day nr two and be ready to purchase, as locutions
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, TIIK RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS, AND A HALF-PRICE TICKET
FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON.—In connection with
the agricultural settlement, a new and thriving town has
naturally arisen, which presents inducement.* J'ur any Icind
of business, purlieu/arty stores and manufactories. The
Shoe business could be carried on in this place and market
to pood advantage, also cotton business, and manufacto
ries of agricultural implements or Fuunderies for canting
small articles. The improvement has been so rapid as to
insure a constant and permanent increase of business
Town lots of a pood size, we do not sell small ones, as it
would effect the improvement of the place, tan be had at
from $1(M) and upwards.

TOGA POINT AGRICULTURAL WORKS! '
TIOGA POINT IMP'VED RAILWAY^TORSE POWERS.
WE are manufacturing the above unrivalled Powers
for One and Two Horses, under Emory's Tatent,
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 fewer is needed ; for the reason
that it is double geared, and that both ends of the main
and counter shaits have couplings all alike, permitting
the converge gear wheel, pinion and hand-wheel to lie
shipped from shaft to shaft and from side to side of tin-
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 < horning. These |
Powers run easily, are strong, well finished and undo
from good materials.
THRESHERS AND SEPARATORS.
These are made of various sizes. They are superior to
those of any other manufacture, of which fact any per
son well acquainted with the heretofore leading machines,
will be satisfied upon examination. Our FANNING
MILLB, which aie the very best in market, are fitted for
power to be ruu in connection with the Tresher and Sep
arator.
THRESHERS AND CLEANERS.
We have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expecta
tions in inventing and constructing a combined Thresher
A Cleaner of our own, which, we believe, for two horse
power, has not its superior nor equal. It runs easily and
threshes and cleans fust, with nit trusting the grain, which
is delivered in the measure cleaned fit for market.
These Winnowers are simple, easily managed, and are
warranted to git-c entire satisfaction.
am- We are prepared to iurnisii at once, or on very
short notice, THRESHERS and WINNOWERS from any

prices as our own, and no charge for freight. All who
