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 in 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 
composition 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, &c., 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.

THE FRUIT GARDEN, 
A TREATISE intended to illustrate the Physiology of Fruit Trees, 
the theory and practice of all operations connected with the 
Propagation, Transplanting, Pruning and Training of Orchard and 
Garden Trees, as standards, dwarfs, pyramids, espaliers, &c.; the 
laying out and arranging different kinds of Orchards and Gardens; 
the selection of suitable varieties for different purposes and localities; 
gathering and Preserving Fruits: Treatment of Disease; Destruc¬ 
tion of Insects; description and uses of Implements, &c. Illustrated 
with upwards of 150 figures, representing different parts of Trees, 
all practical operations, forms of trees. Designs for Plantations, Im¬ 
plements, &c. By P. Barry, of the Mount Hope Nurseries, Ro¬ 
chester New-York. 1 vol. 12 mo. 
“ This book supplies a place in fruit culture, and that is saying a 
great deal, while we have ihe popular works of Downing, Thomas 
and Cole. Mr. Barry has then a field to himself, which he occupies 
with decided skill and ability.”— Prairie Farmer. 
“ It is full of directions as to the management of trees and buds and 
fruit, and is a valuable and pleasant book.”— Albany Eve. Journal. 
“ The work ought to be in every family in the United States.”— 
Ashtabula Sentinel. 
“ The work is prepared with great judgment and founded on the 
practical experience of the author—is of far greater value to the 
cultivator than most of the compilations on the subject.”—N. Y. 
Tribune. 
“It is one of the most thorough works of the kind we have ever 
Been, dealing in particulars as well as generalities, and imparting 
many valuable hints relative to soil, manures, pruning and trans¬ 
planting.”— Boston Gazette. 
“ A mass of useful information is collected, which will give the 
work a value even to those who possess the best works on the culti¬ 
vation of fruit yet published.”— Evening Post. 
“ Ilis work is one of the completest, and, as we have every reason 
for believing, most accurate to be obtained on the subject.”— N. Y. 
Evangelist. 
“A concise manual of the kind here presented has long been want¬ 
ed, and we will venture to say that, should this volume be carefully 
studied and acted upon by our industrious farmers, the quanlity of 
fruit in the State would be doubled in five years, and the quality too 
greatly improved. Here may be found advice suited to all emergen¬ 
cies, and the gentleman farmer may find directions for the simplest 
matters, as well as those which Irouble older heads—the book will be 
found invaluable.”— Newark Daily Advertiser. 
This book can be sent by mail to any part of the United States.
