Report of Meetings of the Farmer's Club is marked E. This 

 association, formed the last year, under the auspices nf this Institute, 

 held their first meeting June 22, 1843. The time for the regular 

 meeting is the 1st and 3d Tuesday of every month, at 12 o'clock, M., 

 at the Repository of the Institute. It is composed of all such friends 

 of agriculture as are desirous of giving or receiving ir)fbrmation, 

 results of experiments, «&c., in agriculture. The meetings have been 

 well attended by farmers and gardeners, often from a distance, and 

 they are ibund exceedingly interesting and instructive. Correspon-

 mation would be useful. The fundamental rules for the government 

 of the club, subjoined, are simple and short. The report of the 

 proceedings of two meetings, are inserted among the documents

 meetings would of themselves make a volume. Also several com- 

 munications made at other meetings of the club by experienced cul- 

 turists, viz: on the cultivation of fr"it, by B. G. Bozwell; and also,

 Anthony Dey; and on pruning, by D. Jay Browne.
