fHE NORMAL SCnO0I.-This schosl IA,
been larger the present autumn than Tor
several isrns previous. and has had mere
advanced scholars. The school year has
been divided toto two terms Of twenty
weeks each, aud each term into two quar-.
tiers Of ten weeks, with no yacaiio. inter.
vesing, thus conforming to the plan Of the
other Normal Schools in the State. This
Is deemed an improvement 40 the ol1 plan
as Il furnishes an opportunity for the grad.
uatiRg class TO have twenty weeks Of un-
broken study before graduation. while
those Who are TO teach in the wiuier eau
remain until the time for commencing
their own schools. BY SO doing they lose
no time. Graduation now comes ut the
end Of each term, aud the meeting Of the
Alumni will be at the end Of the winter
quarter. The FIRST quarter Of this terra
closed Tuesday, Nov. 4th, aud there was
a social leves in the evening. This COD.
sisted Of music, Rotations, eharades, tab

formed. Considering that only few day

that it is sup stairs is the best arranged,

Chin Manure.

g A New Subscriber" West Cheshire,
Connecticut, asks: How much unleached
wood ashes would you apply with chip
manure to the roots of young fruit trees,
and how would you do it?
Am I correct in supposing chip manure
to mean the refuse bits of wood and bark
where wood pile has stood? va
ANswER.-YOu are right in what you
suppose chip manure to mean. Its value
depends greatly upon how much bark there
may be mixed with it, ard the character of
the wood. pine, it is of little value. 1t is
considered an excellent material to put on
potatoes. The ashes will assist in decom-
posing the chips and bits Of bark, and you
must be guided by your own judgment as to
the quantity you mix with chip manure.
One of ashes and two of chips, composted
with muck or rich earth, will, if allowed
time to decompOse, make an excellent ma
nure for potatoes, and if applied around the
roots of fruit trees and spaded in little,
will certainly be of benefit. Say three to
five bushels of the mixture, as may be the
size of the trees. Spread on surface under
the tree and around roots, and spade in OF
not, as you please. = 81 e - 4a- q

Potato Seed.

James Butter, BroOkville, Penn, writes :
This winter / heard three of my neigh
bors arguing about seed potatoes one said
he planted the eyes of his largest potatoes,
the other said that he planted the smallest
potatoes he had, and he said he had as large
potatoes as the other dare have. The one
who planted the eyes of his largest pota-
toes said, to plant little potatoes they
would deteriorate, and / think so too.
Please answer through your valuable pa
per.
REMARKS. question has been dis.
cussed with conflicting opinions for many
years, and it is most probable that there
will forever be difference of opinion. We
believe that it is best to plant the eyes OF
large potatoes, and our observation teaches
us that the great weight of evidence is on
that side of the question. Atthe same time
we shall be pleased to publish the expert
ence of any of our readers on the subject.
We have an idea that almost any plant or
fruit or vegetable may be vastly impro we'd,
in size at least, if highly MANFRED and
we'll cultivated, but under equal circum-
stances the rules of nature teach that large
seed produce large potatoes, and whatever
be the size of the potato, by all means
have it sound and healthy. There is prob
ably no vegetation so much benefited by
having the seed changed every two or
three years. Exchange from New York a
bushel or two with Wisconsin or, Ne
braska friend, and there will be seen a
great improvement in both. In no, other
vegetable has there been so many new va
rieties, and it is really benefit, while it is
most likely that all are merely one or more
varieties changed by climate and soil-Ec.
