Cfclendar of Operations for Way, 1860.
Farm.—The fields, which so long wore a
cheerless russet hue have now fully assumed
their lively green vesture, or where the newly
turned furrows follow the plow of the busy
cultivator, the cieau rich soil gladdens the heart
with its freshness. Many in favored locations
have already completed sowiug Spring grain,
and are hastening to prepare the -cern fields
for plauting. Those who have deferred put
ting in oats or other gnpin because the seed
bed could not yet be made mellow and warm,
have done wisely. A yonug plant firmly root
ed by favorable conditions at the first, has
good promise of subscqncnt thrift.while a stint
ed growth in wet and lumpy soil is with diffi
culty improved by any subsequent care. Hap
py the meu who have /earned the value of
draining and subsoiling, and need not to wait
for the water to slowly fiad its way from the
surface through the compact soil.
Stock should not be neglected during th
press of business this month. The first few
weeks after bringing forth their young is a
trying season with them, and they should have
corresponding care. In all cases it is easier to
prevent their degenerating than to recruit them
when low in, flesh.
Beans are worthy of atteution as a field
crop. They derive a large portion of their
nourishment from the air, and will produce
'well where corn would fail. Plant as soon as
all danger from frosts is past—they are too
tender to bear severe weather. Cultivate bush
varieties in rows two and a half feet apart.—
Limas and others usually grown ou poles may
also be put in drills and supported ou wire
treliscs. Some claim that they yield better
when trained horizontally, on leaders not more i
than five or six feet high. In planting, cover
lightly, say one half to three fourths of an
refc.
Broom Corn.—Plant, in hills three feet
cpai-t each way, or if in drills make the rows
four feet distant, and when fairly up, thin to
eight inches iu the row.
Buildings.—lf any are to be painted this :
season, it is better done now than during the ;
Summer, when the hot sun dries it too rapidly.
Fall painting is preferable where it eau be
tlone. In erecting new outbuildings, provide :
for the introduction of water under cover for
stock, and ample accomodations of stabling,
and for the manufacture and preservation of
manure.
Cabbages are a profitable crop when growu
near enough to large towns to be marketed
readily. Plant out from hot-beds in heavily
manured mellow grouud, for earlier crop,if not
done in April. Examine roots of growing
plants for cut worm. For late crop, sow iu
drills for future transplantings.
Calves kept for stock, will pay well for liber
al feeding. Give plenty of milk with oatmeal
or shorts. Let any change of diet be made
gradually, to avoid diarrhea. Castration is
most safely performed when the animal isabout
a month old.
Carrots.—Try a small plot, if not already
put in as directed last month. Horses and
cattle will all take-them gratefully when given
v, '" dry feed next Winter. With proper cul
tbi ma very large yield of food per acre can
1 e tl .s secured.
t •tie are mostly turned to the pastures.—
A . them fodder still, if the crass is sufficient.
C>r me to give wet bran and shorts to milch
COW. util green food is-abundar.t. It is bet
ter't-j ;eep working cattle stabled and feed
them plenty of grain and roots with hay,rather
than torn them out during the heavy labors of
the season.
Cellars.—Keep well ventilated and from all
decaying matter. A Uooring of hydraulic
cemeut excludes dampness from the ground,
gives a level surface, is less infested by rats,
and affords a coo! place of deposit for butter,
meat, etc., in Summer.
Clover may still be sown on Winter grain.
Where wanted for plowing in green to enrich
the soil, will be seasonable. For this purpose
seed liberally, say eight to ten quarts per acre.
Corn gains nothing by haste in planting.—
Many cultivators turn over the sod early, and
leave it until the grass roots have started ;
theD, when the ground is warm and the weath
er settled, the field is well harrowed, which
checks the growth of grass and weeds and
renders the after cultivation easier. Marking
out the rows should be (]>•:. c with a very light
plow, or Letter, with ajmarker made of strip
of scaut!i"g with pins set at the right distauce
for the rows, aud two handles like a plow to
guide it. The whiffletree can be attached by
two trace chains passing to staples near the
ends of tjic rcantling. Deep furrows to receive
the seed remain wet a long time if much rain
falls, injuring the young gruiu or even pre
venting germination. The use of the markei
obviates tiiis difficulty ; where stable manure
is used in tlx? hill, a light furrow is needed.—
Fsc no Peruvian Gilnno in the hill unless mix
ed with a large quantity of earth, plaster, or
muck.
Diuiinug—lt is always in order when there
are heavy compact soils requiring amelioration.
Economy ou the farm does not consist mere
ly in spending little and liviug close, but in
turning every thing to the best account. The
early morning hours are most valuable for
labor- irn out from the bed in the house to
the in the garden, and wake up the plants
there. Remember that the master's eye can
do more work ti.au both his hands, aad leave
no part of farm operations to be done without
your oversight. Hire good uauds, give good
yreges and require good work.
Fences r.?' now in order, arc teaching cat
tle to be unraiy. Five rails high in Spring
are better than six after stock have learned to
jnmp or throw down fences. Frequently take
a survey of every part of the enclosures, that
all may he kept safe. A little care in this
particular may preveut the loss of a cow by
breaking into a green clover field, or the root
vug up of the garden by a dcove of hogs.
Grain Fields.—Allow no stock to enter np
on those sown last month, or the Winter graiu.
Now is a favorable time to pull out dock,cockle
Canada thistles and other foul weeds that will
injure the growth and depreciate the value of
the grain. Choose a day immediately after a
rain when they can be drawn out easily. Unless
the ground is in good heart, sow on guano,
lime or ashes.
Grass Seed.—Sow npon grain fields, not
already seeded. It is safer done in April.—
May prefer from the middle of August to the
last of Septeml>er for seeding to grass, and
find it pays to put on the seed alone, instead
of with grain as is so geuerally done. To ensure
a good catch, make the land rich.
Swine—Sows with their litters, need plenty
mrishing food. Allow none to rnn in the
cou : \ hog pasture containing fresh, water, i
.i . nave a place cm every farm.

E. Clark's Revolving Looper
DOUBLE THREADED
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
The Revolving Looper is a late improvement on Ray
mond's Latest Improved.)
Warranted the best in the world for Family Use !
Price Within the Reach of Every Family.
PRICE
Hemmcr, Feller, Binder & Tucking guage, combined, $5.
THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as the most reliable Machine in the market for
family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the
most respectable families in the Union.
This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock
Stitch," the only one made by machinery that meets all
the requirements of Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied
twice, so that every one is securely fastened and wholly
independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that
if the seam is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew
ing must hold good white the fabric will wear. The
machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sim
plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor
does it requiry adjustment more than the mere change of
thread and needles to ttdopt it to the character of the
work to be sewed—coarse or fine as the case mav be. It
will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab
rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without
changing cither needles or thread equally well, and re
turn to either variety of work with perfect.satisfaction.
No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as
much,
A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an
swering all the requirements ofthe family, sewing coarse
and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
the home circle, previous to the invention of EHWIN
CLARK'S REVOLVING EOOPEU. The stitch is beautiful,
trong, anil elastic, and will not rip in wear or in acci
dental breaking a thread.
Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
money refunded.
We have a large list of references but will give the
names of only a few ;

CAUTION.
"To he. or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the miml to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous apposition,
Or bv taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end tliem."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a "sort ot a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As I have ripened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they arc iu no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t sttisfy the public I was the " best
Kinder in America," as the columns of the Argus will
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lic?" If 1 have been engaged in a fraud, he has been the
principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time as
evidence that then' has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business. 1 have resumed business hereon my own ac
count, as I know of nothing which prevents me front fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi- ;
nessto give public satisfaction.

the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will lie made for absence, except in case
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement- -a class will
be taught in a hall adjoining the grounds ofthe Institute,
by the Teacher ol Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to he eminently superior to
the plan pursued iu former years. Special pains w ill 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 term $lO 00
Use of instrument for practice 3 00
Pupils boarding in tbe 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 l>ed 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 Drpartment— Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves an
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organise the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will aiso be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also ogother subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage 1n teach
ing for, the p-inter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to lie present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburu's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with tbe discharge of the
regular duties of lus office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repnlatution the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and. in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronAge and siipport.
