Congress, at its several sessions, as well as all novelties , and certain 
kinds particularly suited to certain sections and localities of the Union, 
and the Canadas.

To Farmers, Gardeners and Nurserymen. 
T HE Lodi Manufacturing Co. offer for sale a freshly prepared ar. 
tide of Poudrette for fall use. It will be found a cheap, handy 
and lasting manure upon grass preceded by wheat or rye, also upon 
turneps, celery, &c. It has been found of great use upon lawns as a 
top dressing, and grass lands generally. It has also received great 
commendation for its efficacy upon trees and shrubs, particularly 
Evergreens and ornamental trees. Reference is made to A. J. Down¬ 
ing, Esq., B. M. Watson, Plymouth, J. M. Thorburn & Co. and others 
—also to the following letter: 
Extract from a Letter of Hon. Daniel Webster, dated 
Washington, March 19, 1850. 
“If I neglect the annual purchase of some of this article, my 
gardener is sure to remind me of it. He thinks it almost indispensa¬ 
ble, within his garden fence; but there are uses, outside the garden, 
for which it is highly valuable, and cheaper, I think, than any other 
manure, at your prices. A principal one, is the enrichment of lawns 
and pleasure grounds, in grass, where the object is to produce a fresh 
and vigorous growth in the spring. Our practice is to apply it when 
we go to town in the autumn, and we have never failed to see its 
effects in the Spring.” 
Price of Poudrette $1.50 per bbl. for any number over six barrels 
—and of Poudrette for shrubs , $2.00 per bbl. for any quantity—in 
both cases delivered free of cartage on board of vessel in New-York. 
O^r* Five shares of stock for sale in the Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
Dividend payable in Poudrette. Apply to the LODI MANUFAC¬

ANALYTICAL LABORATORY, 
Yale College, New-Haven, Connecticut. 
JOHN P. NORTON, Professor of Scientific Agriculture. 
T HIS Laboratory is now fully organised for instruction in all 
branches of analyses connected with the examination of soils, 
manures, minerals, ashes, animal and vegetable substances, &c. Full 
courses are given m each of these departments, and also m general 
Chemistry, both organic and inorganic. 
Students can thus fit themselves to become instructors in the vari¬ 
ous branches of Chemistry, or to apply so much of that and kindred 
sciences as may be necessary to the practical pursuit of agriculture 
or manufacturing. The demand for teachers and Professors in the 
various branches of chemistry, especially Agricultural, is now great 
and increasing, so that this is now a fair field for those who have a 
taste for such pursuits. 
A course of Lectures on Scientific Agriculture, by Professor Nor¬ 
ton, commences in January of each year, and continues for two and 
a half months. This course is designed especially for the practical 
farmer, and has given great satisfaction to those who have attended 
it in previous years. It embraces a plain connected outline of the 
leading points in improved agriculture, treating in succession of the 
composiiion of the soil, the plant and the animal; of their connections 
with each other, and of all the improvements in cultivation, manur¬ 
ing, feeding and fattening, which have been adopted in the best agri¬ 
cultural regions. This course is made so plain and practical, that the 
farmer who attends it can understand the whole, and apply it in his 
own experience. 
More can be learned by attendance upon such lectures, by reading 
in connection with them, and by associating with others who are also 
desirous of obtaining a better knowledge of their profession than in 
years away from such advantages. The young farmer learns to 
think for himself, to see that a practice is not necessarily right be¬ 
cause it is old, to understand the reasons for all that he does, and with 
this increase of knowledge is better able to make farming profitable 
as well as interesting. 
Board and lodging maybe procured at from $2 to $3 per week, and 
the Ticket for the Lecture is $10. 
In connection with the Lecture is a short Laboratory course, by 
means of which those who desire it, are taught to test soils, manures, 
marls, See., in a simple way, and to make many elementary exami¬ 
nations of a highly useful character. The charge for this course is 
$25. 
To those students who go through the full Laboratory course, the 
charge is about $200 per annum, and they can be admitted at any pe¬ 
riod of the year at a proportional charge.
