Calendar of Operations for June, 1860.
Farm.—The hoe and the fbltivator would
he appropriate emblems of the work for the
„it-i this mouth. Yegetutiou now pushes
forward with rapid growth. Not are the
' - ,I " crops taking firmer hold of tl& soil,and
expanding with cheering promise, but ragweed,
daisy, dock, thistles, and Or numerous horde of
foul Mieeds also feel the quickening suushine,
and scud out their hardy roots to rob the field
and vex the husbandmaD. These are to be
Eubdned ; and, scarcely less important, the soil
needs frequent stirring, to keep it in right
mechanical condition. The roots of plants re
quire air and water. If the surface become
crusted, evaporation is obstructed, the moisture
from the deeper layer of the soil docs not rise
freely, and the air aud dews can not readily
cuter from above. The orgauic matter decom
poses bnt slowly under such circumstauces.the
plants are stinted for nourishment, and their
growth is checked. Hoeing by hand or by
borse power, is the remedy for weeds and for
a hide-bound soil. There may also yet be
vacant spots to replant with corn, or to fill
with other seasonable crops. He who has a
irird to work, will now find enongh to employ
Hurley usually succeeds best sown early, but
tuny still be put in. It prefers a gravely soil,
which should be deeply worked, and free from
Wt ds. It may well follow a hoed crop. Sow
froui two and a half to three bushels per acre,
and harrow iu thoroughly.
Barns and Sheds—See that they are in ord
er before the busy haying season comes on.—
Arrange the bay-way platforms to keep the hay
from the ground and allow ventilation. If hay
has spoiled, remove it to the manure heap. Ex
amine grain bins, wool closets, aud cattle stalls
for vermin, and cleanse if n'cessary.
Beans—l'laut where corn has failed, if seed
of king Philip or other early variety of corn
can not be obtained.
Bees—Be cautious in adopting " patent "
Lives ; many of these traps puzzle the bees
sadly. It will be time euough to procure
ilian bees when they have been thoroughly
: led by those who can afford to experiment
v : th them. It is possible to be slung by handl
i :g them too freely while held at the preseut
prices.
Beets—Sow Mangel Wurzel and Sugar var
ieties.
Boys will be ambitions to do men's work. Do
not allow them to exceed their strength. Give
them good tools, allow them frequent rests,aud
remember " All work and no play, makes
Jack a dull boy." Make farm life attractive if
you would have them remain in the business.
Buckwheat yields a quick return, and ia an
available crop for lands too wet for Spring
plowing. It may also replace corn destroyed
by worms or other casualties. It may be sown
bnt the first or second week of July is prefer
". .. in this latitude, as it theu has the cooler
v ther of September for tilling. Make the
- . ine and mellow, and use half a bushel to
: : pecks of seed per acre.
Hutter.—This is one of the very best dairy
i g isouths, both for quantity and quality.—-*
i ire new growth of grass is plentiful and tend
er, and the cows if well cared for, have come
up to full condition. Observe scrupulous clean
liness in every department. Keep the milk
and cream at a temperature of from 62 degrees
to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Let nil butter be
veil worked. See that the cows are milked
rapidly, and perfectly dry. Let butter for
market be put up neatly, and plainly marked
with the owner's name.
Cabbages—Cultivate among the rows fre
quently—they can scarcely be hoed too much.
Plant out for late crops. They may be set be
tween the rows of early potatoes which are to
come, the first of July. Good after culture
will bring them forward in season, and thus
two crops will be secured. Use pleDty of
stable manure, but none from the pig pen.—
Sprinkle the plants with airslaeked lime or
leached ashes, to preveut green lice (aphides)
aud other vermin.
Carrots may still be sown, for Winter use
—they will pay as food for cattle or horses
Hoe and thin early, leaving them six inches
distant in the row. Some extensive cultiva
tors in carrots between the rows of onions,
after the secoud or third hoeing of the latter.
If this be done, leave every third space vacant
to give room tor curing the onions when pull
ed.
Corn—Kiug Philip or other quickly matur
ing varieties may be planted, to repface fail
ures or otherwise. Manuring in the hill will
give it a rapid start. Thorough culture should
be given to the growing crops this month, to
subdue grass and weeds before the corn roots
have extended far from the bill, when later
towing and hoeiug would injure them. Leave
t:.e surface nearly level. Allow not more than
four stalks to a hill—many successful growers
1 ivc but three. If the pasture ground is
limited, put in a good quantity of corn broad
cast or in drills, for feeding gree.
Fences—An occasional survey of all on the
premises is necessary for the safety of the grow
ing crops.
Grain Fields—Cockle, thistles and other
weeds may now be seen plainly.—Pass through
the fields after rain while the ground is soft,
and root them out. This should be done es
pecially in the best parts of the field, from
which seed for nature sowing is to be selected.
Winter grain will be ready for the reaper in
some localities. Cut it before fully ripe—when
the berry is advanced enough to bear moder
ate pressure of the thumb nail without break
ing, or just after it leaves the " milk " stage.
The weight will be greater, and the flour bet
ter than from grain ripe enough to shell.
Haying should commence as soon as the
seed begins to form on grass, or clover, that is
just as the bloom passes away. After this,part
of the nourishing matters of the stalk change
to woody fiber* Hay, especially clover, cared
without much exposure to the sun,will be sweet
er. Put it up in narrow Cocks, and provide
hay caps for protection from rain. A tarmer
having nmch meadow, who has no mowing ma
chine, is behind the times. The horse pitch
fork will also expedite the work.
Hoeing will be the main work of the month
on many farms-, as alreadv noted. Use horse
power where the ground will admit of it.
Manures—Roadside weeds, and sods from
waste corners will add much to the manure
•ap, if properly prepared. Keep a snppiy in
-he pig pen, and also in the cow yard. Thev
. ab-,orb and save the liquid excremeuts,and
wiu>h the droppings. If an animal die, turn
account, by covering with a mound of
.'tele or ioam.
Millet—Sow, if not previously. It wiH af
ford a snppiy of greea fodder, or add to the
of \V inter feed.
.turnips do better sown next month

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 Hitbiu tbe Reach of Every Family.
PRICE $35.
Hernmer, Feller, Binder A Tucking guage, combined, $5.
THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as the most reliable Machine in tbe 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 while 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 require adjustment more than the mere change of
thread and needles to adopt it to the character of the
work to be sewed—coarse or fine as the case may be. It
will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab
rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without
changing either 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 of the family. sewing coarse
and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful,
trong, and elastic, and wilt 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 :

" To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
rPHK proprietor of the .Argus takes occasion in adver
_L rising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for Ring
about a •• sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me. they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and be
lias taken great pains t satisfy the public I was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus will
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lic?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been the
principal. But I refer to my work during that time as
evidence that there has lieen no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
bifsiness, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count, as I know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and tiawful calling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
ness to give public satisfaction.

Washing, per dozen 38
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.
No deduction will be made for absence, except in case
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, he taught in
the Institution, bnt by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for tbe pst 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 term $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 stodents from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
.XormaJ Department— Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COB CRN", the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct tne course to tie pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercise* 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 fiud it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term. "
Prof. Coburn's connection with the institution is not
such a* to ip 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 in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support.
