(Cor. of Waverly Advocate.)
SheshDquin Farmfers's Club.
After so long a lapse of time the Farmer's
Club again assembled, and enjoyed a session
chiefly interesting to its members, in the inter
change ol ideas ou a variety of topics, connect*
ed with the farm and garden. „
In r<ading-tbe minutes of oar last meeting,
quite an auiraatcd discussion sprang up be
tween Messrs. Delpuech and Sherwood, on the
leaching of manures below the reach of plants.
The latter ignoring Prof. Mapes' experiments
and insistiug that upon what is known as pine
plain lands—of a porous, gravelly texture, —
much of the saline properties ot manures were
wasted by leaching or seftliug below the reach
of vegetation. Mr. D. defends his torraer prop
caition, that evaporation was too often con
founded with the old idea of leach.ng ; that
few cultivatible lauds were so porous as to per
mit a waste of auy valuable properties in
manures by filtering through the soil and sub
soil. Manures became rapidly exhausted by
excessive beat, augmented ot course, by its
gravelly and porous condition.
Mr. Sherwood having been solicited to give
his views upon sti aw berry culture, said he
could not commend an extensive cultivation ol
that luxury amoug farmers generally in this
locality. The markets would not warrant it,
and it absorbed much time which in his judg
ment could be more profitably occupied. Yet
ho would advise every farmer to set apart a
email space for home use, for his family aud
friends. Like most all plants, their cultivation
became simple when understood.
For myself, 1 haul swamp muck upon ray
garden in the Fall, permitting it to have the
action of winter upon it before using ; iudeed
I consider that iudispensable for proper use in
ail crops. I spreid it evenly in the spring,
plow deop'y, at.il pulverize thoroughly, mark
my ground three feet one way and eighteen
inches the ether, and set my plants. 1 keep
the ground clear, and do little else tdl the fol
lowing spring, when I slash on the runai-rs to
make paths for picking ; otherwise I do no
prutiing. I have never touud it an object, on
my iand, to protect them tor winter ; uu some
6oil, however, u may be necessary. It it is
desirable to preserve the same bed, go in a
plow, after picking, and turu two furrows to
gether—leaving about eighteen inches—then
haul the furrow back, without turning it. and
you have young aud fresh plants again. But
I prefer setting out new beds every spring as
iesa tromblesome.
The strawberry family is very ex:ensivo,
hence there are many kii-ds and varieties.—
Plants only are reliable, seed uot necessarily
producing their hke. By close observation,
the leaf and blossom wili inform you of their
value as early or prolific varieties. For all
purposes 1 prefer the Virginia Scarlet, as they
possess within themselves the sexes—the p-s
--tilate aud stamiuate —and less care is demand
ed in their arrangement in that respect. Be
sides, they are a hardy plant, aud very prolific.
I have raised over forty bushels from out
eighth of an acre, not forgetting my neighbors.
Most other varieties need a due proportion of
pistilates aud staminates in selling the plants,
plants set this spring yield nothing o; moment
till the following sea.-on. Muck is not at all
indispensable iu preparing the ground. Fit
your ground nicely as for potatoes. Chip ma
cure 1 should disapprove of. Try some meth
od and experience will soon teach you the
belter way.
On motion, the meeting adjourned to the

HEAVY AND LIGHT LAND. —We have seldom
seeu the dilLreukj.realmeuts required for heavy
and light land better explained tiiau in the
following paragraph, which occurs in a comma
uication from Walter Elder, to the Philudel
pUia Farmer and Gardener :
Sandy soils are too full of air, and require
much heavy rolling to make thera compact and
retentive of moisture. Indeed, if rolling could
destroy all weeds upon sandy soils, it would
bo far better tbau stirring them to upioot
weeds. The Jersey farmers use the plow, lmr
row aud cultivator too frequently, and the
roller too seldom. If we could preserve inois
turo in our soils in summer, our crops would
be doubly valuable ; and the only way we can
do that in sandy soils, is to roll and not flir
them. Wo see in the sandy districts of ISew
Jersey, the grass green upon trodden roadsides
in summer, while that upon stirred lands is
turned op; and hches luxuriant alongside of
fence 3 where the soil is unstirred, while the
crops on cultivated fields are parched. Grain
and glass should get much rooling in spring,
and if small rollers could follow the cultivator,
(say a day after it,) crops would do better. —
As much air will rush iuto sandy soils in ten
minutes, while stirred, as will go into ciayey
lands iu tea weeks, if not well harrowed. So,
the more frequently heavy lands are stirred,
the better they hold moisture, as they crack
when dry, and moisture from below escapes
too quickly; but when often stirred and the
surface k'-pt loose, a volume of air goes into
the loose soil, prevents cracking, and retards
the evaporation of moisture from below; but
the weight of heavy lands and rains upon them
soon prtos out the air on the surface; hence
tue necessity of frequent stirring.
EI.T>ER Busrizs vs Crncci.io.— A few reeks
since 1 visited a gat den in this vicinity, and
saw several plum tress heaviiy laden with
fruit. I was requested to exaaine and see if
I could discover any traces or marks of the
eurculio. I did so upon fruit on the trees and
ripe fruit that had falien off and lay upon the
ground. I could discover no marks and no
luras in the fruit. I gathered up Irnit from
the ground and carried it home; it was all per
fect. I tbooghtthere must be insects; ' ut there
had been none at all. Having raised p!um3
more or less for twen'y years in Michigan, bat
never without the effects of the cureulio more
or less, and sometimes to entire destruction of
the crop, you may judge of my surprise when
iuformeii that all that been done was to pro
cure common elder hushes and tic them to the
tranches of the trees. This had been done
every few days from the time the fruit was fair
ly :et nntil fu'l grown. This man has lived
upon the place 6vc years. The trees were up
on the place—hearing trees—when he took
possession; the urst two years he tried to save
his fruit by shaking the treess and gathering
p the eurculios upon cloths spread under
them. He had Jvery poor success; the fruit
was all stung and dropped off prematurely.—
lie was in dispair tne eeeond year, when he
was told by (as he said) "anold Frenchman"
that if he wonldput elder bushes into his trees
raise fruit. He has tried it three years with
the same success—a fall cropof perfect plams.

" 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."
fpHE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
i tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring tlieii
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years 1 have worked for Mr. P ARSON'S, and he
has taken great pains t satisfy the public I was the'* best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testily. Has be been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, be lias been th
principal. But I refer to my -wfork during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on tny own ac
count, as i know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and ha wful calling lor my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The >nnivevsaiy 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.asheretofore.be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a "nail adjoining the grounds ol'the Institute,
by the Teacher ol 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 term $lO 00
Use of Instrument on which to take lessons 69
do for practice 2 0 r
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a. their option. It is desfra
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 lsstronglv recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department— Special exercises are arrangea
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 the connty, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to he 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%lntcr, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall terra.
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 repulatatlon the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
hv of future patronage and support.
