farmer's Btprlmcut.
Calendar of Operations for Nov. 1559.
Farm.—November is the finishing' month of
the season. Indeed very little farm work,save
digging and storing the late turnips, should
be left until now. In some localities a portion
of the corn is still unhnsked, and the grain
not al! threshed. Both of these need early
attention, and then, having put all the tools
awav, so that no u.ilooked for snow shall bury
otic here and another tlu re, and having re
paired the buildings against the biting wind
and frost, the farmer may rest quietly even if
the sleet comes driving against his window at
night. He is prepared for Winter.
Buildings, including those for man and beast
should be put in complete Winter order at
once. This is one of the best mouths for out
side painting cf buildings and fences.
Cattle are now almost solely dependent up
on man for their food at the North : let it lie
given them with regularity, just sufficient for
their wants, but none to waste. A good hay
or straw cutter should be in every barn, and
if capable of cutting corn stalk*, so much the
better. For twenty or thirty cattle and pigs
a steaming apparatus will pay. Complete fat
tening the beeves as early as- possible, before
half the food is exhausted in keeping them
warm. Give all animals a good bedding of
some sort, both to promote comfort and iucrea.se
the manure heap.
Cellars.—Keep ventilated as late in the
season as can be done with safety. See that
the water drain is perfect. Towards the close
of the mouth, make everything secure against
frost
Cisterns and Wells for house and barn may
well be built, if not already provided.
Corn.—lf any is standing, cut it up. Finish
husking as soon as possible, before cold weath
er and Winter rains set in. Save the foodder
with care, and put away the husked corn where
it will dry thoroughly. Seed should have
been saved last mouth. If omitted, select it
at once.
Draining is always in season,when the ground
is not frozen or wet, until all swales, swamps,
or low grounds arc made the most productive
portions of the farm.
Forest Leaves.—Continue the gathering
commenced last month until all that cau be
gathered, are stored for Winter bedding of
stock, for which they are excelleut, as well as
for manure.
Fruit.—The late apples and pears must now
be taken to the cdlar, as a cold snap might
freeze them. Keep dry and as cool as conven
ient without freezing.
Grain.—Thresh the remaining as fast as prac
ticable, and save nil the straw to feed or bed ,
with through the Winter ; it will bo needed
this year. Cut straw, moistened and mixed
with Indian meal, forms excellent feed for cat
tie and horses. See that the best graiu is kept
for seed.
Hedges.—Plant deciduous, if the soil is dry;
otherwise leave till Spring.
Hogs.—As with beeves, complete their fat
teuing early. This will be the killing month
in many parts of the country ; let the animals
be fat when slaughtered. Provide for early I
pigs by turning a male among the breeding sows. I
Horses and Mules.—Feed with cut hay and
straw, adtjiug a little meal or carrots. Have
them well shod as icy weather approaches, at
the North. Provide blankets and use them, i
Give a good bedding at night. If standing on
a plauk floor, cover with several inches of muck
spent tan or sawdust both to absorb the mois
ture and make a soft standing place. Ven
tilate well, using plaster to take up the strong
smelliug ammonia.
Ice Houses.—See that they are al! ready to
receive the first thick ice of the season, which
is usually the best. It is not too late to con
struct icc-liouses or rooms.
ludoor.—The long evening and stormy days
give an opportunity to read and think. Get
down the back numbers of the Agriculturist
and re-read those articles which, a more hur
ried season caused to be lightly pondered at
the time Sympathize with the children as
they pore oVer theirevening lessons, and lend
them the assistance they require. A little in
terest in their studies will be of material bene
fit to them. Muke home so attractive that
they prefer it to going abroad where they may
meet with vicious companions.
M anures.—Follow the directions of last
month, adding large quantities of muck, tan,
leaves, loam, saw-dust, ect., to the couteuts ol
the yards and stables.
Permanent improvements may now be made
to good advantage, while wuitiuir the approach
of Winter. A few rocks need sinking or blast
ing ; stumps may be removed ; stones may be
picked up and laid into permanent fences,
hedges cleared up etc These labors can pro
fitably use up all the spare time.
Plow clayey lands just before the Winter
sets in. Insects will be turned up to frost,and
the freezing and thawing of the tops and sides
ol the furrows will pulverize the soil.
Poultry.—Provide them with warm quarters
for Winter. A barn or other cellar where
they can have gravel to scratch in, is desirable
allowing them aecess to the sun. Give them
animal food, refuse meat, with boiled potatoes
aud raw cabbage. Keep roots clean.
Pumpkins.— Feed out freely to fattening
animals and milch cows. Put some of the best
in a dry place and beyond the leach of frost,
for Winter keeping.
Schools are about commencing for the Win
ter. in many places. Have the outdoor work
in condition to spare the boys at the beginning,
to take their places at once in classes. Nor
should they be kept at home except oil impor
tant occasions. Regularity is essential to pro
gress.
Sheep still find some green food in the pas
tures, but will soon need a foddering at night
in colder localities. Let them begin winter in
good flesh. Where early lambs are desired,
turn the bnck with the ewes.
Stack Yards.—lnstead of making them cat
tk,yards, save lime, labor, and your reputation
for humanity, by carting the contents to the
barn to be fed under cover.
Sugar Cane. —Complete the cutting and
manufacturing. If it cau not be evaporated
sufficiently fast, put some of the s'tulks under
cover, to be ground and boiled down as need
ed. A moderate freezing doe 9 little injury
when syrup only is made.
Tools, Implements, Carriages, Harness,
Sleighs, Sleds, ect.—Put away those no longer
wanted, first repairing the broken ones. I)o
not leave a plow to fieeze in the furrow, nor
any tools to be covered by a premature snow, j
Have the harness cleaned and oiled, and put
sleighs and sleds in ruining i rder.
lurnips.—Dig the remaining crop, also any
carrots left ont until now. Store them in pits
p.s described In the " basket," or put in cellars j
beyond the reach of frost.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE
-fA MEXT—To all wanting farms, a rare opportunity
in a delightful and healthy climate 2.*> miles southeast of
Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. New
Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousands of
acres of productive sail bus 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 crips. 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 H'h eat, Clover, Corn, Peaches. ij rapes and I'e get ti
ldes. It is considered the best fruit soil in the Union
The place is perfectly secure from frosts the destructive
enemy of the farmer." Crops of grain, grass and fruit are
now growing and can be seen. By examining the place
itself, a correct judgment can be formed ot 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 steam, 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 from the citv, 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 are 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, he is near his old friends and as
sociations, he is in a xettlfd country where every improve
ment of comfort and civilization in at hand. lie can buy
every article he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed,)
he lias schools lor 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 them
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 be struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up liefore. 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 thev
come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to
stay a day or two and he ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, THE RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS, AND A HALF-PRICE TICKET
FOR TIIRKK TEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON In connection with
the agricultural settlement, a new and thriving town has
naturally arisen, irhirh presents inducements for any kind
of business, particularly stores and manufactories. The
Shoe business could he carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, also cotton business, and manufacto
ries of agricultural implements or Founderies for casting
small articles. The improvement has been so rapid as to
insure a constant and permanent increase of business
Town lots of a good size, we do not sell small ones, as it
would effect the improvement of the place, can be had at
from SIOO and upwards.
The Hammonton Farmer, a monthly literary and agri
cultural sheet, containing full information of Hammonton,
can he obtained a' 25 cents per annum.
Title indisputable—warrantee deeds given, clear of all
incumbrance when money is paid. Route to the land :

Railroad, at 7J A. M., or 4? P. M. Fare 90 cents. When
there inquire tor Mr. Byrnes. Boarding conveniences on

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The Anniversaiy exercises will be held at
the close of the Spring term.
Instrumental Music will not,as heretofore," be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
lie taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the institute,
by the Teacher ot 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 lie as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per terra $lO 00
Use of instrument for practice 3 00
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a* 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.
.Xoi-mal Department —Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. It. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the 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 term.
Prof. Coburn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be 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

WE are manufacturing the above unrivalled Powen
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 |Kiwcr is needed ; for the reason
that it is double geared, and that both ends of the main
and counter shafts have couplings ail alike, permitting
the converge gear wheel, pinion and hand-wheel to 1*
shipped from shaft to shaft and froin side to side of the
Power at pleasure ; by which arrangement five different
degrees of motion are obtained without extra gearing;

Powers run easily, are strong, well finished and made
from good materials.

(tower to be run in connection with the Treshcr and Sep
arator.
THRESHERS AND CLEANERS.

tions in inventing and constructing a combined Thresher
A Cleaner of onr own, which, we believe, for two horse
power, has not its superior nor equal. It runs easily and

is delivered in the measure cleaned fit for market.
These Winnowers are simple, easily managed, and are
warranted to give entire satisfaction.

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