ding this school to the favorable notice of the pub
lic. Having gone into operatioi^iu January last
under the Rectorship of the Rev, Peter McIntyre
its success has far exceeded our most sanguine
expectations. We therefore feel much assured
that those who will favor this rising institution with
their patronage, will, generally be much pleased
with the result ; that the course and method ofiii-
struclion, will, in due time, eusure a thorough pre
paration for collegiate admission, as well as a rea
dy capacity for the various employments of life.
Rates of tuition not exceeding what is customary.
The regular quarterly entries are on the first Mon
day iu January and July ; the last Monday in
March and September. Board, Washing, and
Lodging cau be obtained iu private-families, pru

es, from §15 to $20 par qr. The salubrity of
jho climate of the neighborhood is unquestiona
ble ; aud its freedom from inducements to dissi

youth and to their literary psoficiency. .

IMPROVEMENT IN AGRICULTURE.
It is.but fifteen years since the first a^rici:!-
Dr. Bartlett—A combination of nnavoidar-1 ‘tnral periodical tv as established in the United
ble-eircumstances has been tlio cause of the States. This was the American Farmer,-U.
weekly paper commenced at Baltimore iii
March 1819, and wrts continued till March
last, when it was discontinued. The New
England Farmer, published at Boston,- was
next in order of lime,-and is notv extended'to
the tvelftli volume. These publications have
had an important influence on the agriculture
of those sections of country where they have
been circulated and rend. More recently, np-
mcrous other publications devoted to the same
great object, most of them of high character,
have been commenc ed and are still progress
ing. The result of all this is, that nfen of sci-
eucc and wealth have had their attention draulh
to this Subject; and agriculture, both as a
science and an employment, has greatly im
proved in character; and is, wo Trope, soon
to be advanced, in this country, to the high
rank, which it lias so long deservedly occupi
ed in Europe. ‘
The benefits resulting from agricultural pub
lications arc becoming more and more impor
tant. Tlie*spirit of. inquiry is abroad. Sci
entific and well conducted experiments are
constantly developing new principles in tho
scicnce.of physics ; and the authors of new
discoveries are more liberal than formerly, <fc
procrastination of the fulfilment of my promise
to yob, of giving my ideas to tho planter with
regard to horizontal culture.
The chief object of every enlightened agri
culturist is to arrive at that perfection in hus
bandry which will insure !.im the greatest pro-;
lit and most certain succession of good crops.
And it will be readily acknowledged that no
thing can more invariably secure to the plan
ter this desirable success, than fertile land nnd
that in good heart. Then if it can be proven
that the above mentioned mode of tilling cm
farms will conduce most to the accomplishing
the wishes of the husbandman, the paint of pre
eminence will be given to horizontal culture.
The preservation of the Surface is necessary
to the retaining the primitive soil, and no arti
ficial process of manuring can-be rendered pro
fitable without this .grand desideratum. Tiie
refuse of our crops, the decaying vegetable
matter, and iho .alkali produced by paring and
burning, will be of 4io avail without some sys
tem of preservation. Every shower that
sweeps its floods over our fields carries with it
the choicest particles and condiments, lit,.ma
ture has, in her profligate bounty, contributed
for the support of the vegetable kingdom, and

Our most valuable lands are soon intersected
with deep ravines or guljies, when we cultivate
it according to the old fashioned, land murder
ing, up and down hill, straight rowed plan.—
The freshest farms soon present nothing to
the passer-by but clay worn knobs, yielding a
stinted subsistence, only’, to the most persever
ing industry’. I must acknowledge, Mr. Edi-
•tor, that 1 am prejudiced against this mode of
culture—because it lias been my lot to succeed
a planter of this kind. Land, which, at.the
first of last year, when I came into possession,
vas cut to pieces with large water ditches, is
now neatly restored to its pristine appearance.
1 have at this time cotton more than a foot
high, whrro eighteen months back, was a gul
ly three feet deepi
The plan on which I lay off my ground is
by the eye.; yet a more correct mode is to
have an obtuse angled triangle, formed of light
pieces of scantling or plank, having the piece
that subtends.the angle ten feet long, so that
this triangle will he more manageable. At
tach a plumb line to the angle, letting the
plumb fall on the base. The plumb must he
heavy, not easily blown about by tho wind, &
will soon settle to its proper position, which
will he marked on the front of the base, and
Over this mark must be driven a staple to keep
the plumb line ever near its place.
The operator must take the prepared trian
gle and set it down in the piece of ground to
belaid off, and move the end in the course of
the decline up or down the hill, and then his
assistant will drive a short stick, say ten iuch-
es long, at tlio end of the triangle, allowing a
quarter or lialfan inch at each time, below the
exact level, and so on to the end of tho field.
A scooter plough must follow after and plough
up the sticks,-which will answer for the next
guide row, which will belaid off nearer or far
ther from the first according to the judgment
of the operator of the evenness or unevenness
of .the ground. It is not necessary to' lay off
any but the guide rows withjhe triangle.
Every prudent person will avoid, in any im
provement, to go indirect contradiction to the
laws of nature, and for this reason the allow
ance is made at the end of every mensuration,
to epuse a gradual descent of the superaffund
,periments tc the public.
There is no branch of human industry to
which science could he applied with {neater
benefit than to that of husbandry ; and vet
there is no branch for w hich science lias done
so little. The reason is, farmers have beenr
too negligent to avail themselves of the disco
veries made by others. This they can now do
at a very trifling expense.
Discoveries of new and important principles
of Natural Science have been made, on which
new inodes of husbandry have been founded,
highly beneficial in their, results : but these
benefits have as yet been confined to. a few.
There seems hut one very sesious obstacle
to the general diffusion of these benefits among
all classes of farmers ; and that is, the want of
thorough conviction that knowledge is both
power and wealth to the agriculturist, as well
as to the mechanic or the professional man.—
The truth is, though our farmers are generally
industrious; their industry is not always wisely
or profitably directed^
Facts are always \vorth more titan arguments
in the search after truth, and abundantly show
the value of science as the means of improve
ment in husbandry;
During the last twenty years, whije most of
our farmers have been impoverishing their
an'ds, the application of new principles lias
enabled others to renovate theirs. As an in
stance of this, Earl Stimsou; President of th«^:
Agricultural Society;, .Saratoga county, N. Y.
should, be honorably mentioned; lie has
brought into a state af almost- unexampled fer
tility, a worn-out farm ; and by a course of
cultivation, particularly’ described, in a form
er number of the Farmer, lids increased his
crops of corn, from 15 or 20, to 80, 100, and
the last year to 150 bushels iter acre—wheal,
barley, and rye, from 10 or 15, to 40 or 56
bushels per" acre ; and bay from 1 ton to 3i
and 4 tons per acre. To this statement of his
crops, Mr. Stimson adds, “I know front my
own experience, that it docs not cost ottc half,
if it docs more than one tliiid as much, to raise
a bushel of grain by good husbandry as it does
by bad.” From these facts it seems perfectly
clear that the knowledge and proper applica
tion of correct principles to practical Itusbat d-
cas;
with
bor
