FARMERS, LOOK AT THIs.-BUCK-
WHEAT SrRAw.-A correspondent who
signs himself" A Yankee F farmer" asks
us whether any use can be made of his
buckwheat straw. Our reply is, that i! is
better for milk COWS than the best timothy
hay-that his cows will eat it With equal
aVidity-that if it has not been exposed too
long TO the vicissitudes of the weather, it
will prove equally nutritious to them-that
so far as the secretion of milk is concern
ed, it is infinitely preferabF, to any hay or
fodder within our knowledge, and that
when cut and boiled or steamed, it makes
most acceptable slop for cows. We will
say farther, that the old plan of throwing
this wholesome and nutritious provender
upon the dungheap, or in the BARNARD, to
be tramplej under foot, should be aban-
doned, and that henceforth it should be
permitted to assume its proper rank a.

WHITE WEED.-What benefit is white
weed 10 the farmer! One would be led
to SUPPOSE, from Witnessing the great
amount ofthis article growing over many
fields, that it was some valuable thing,
suffered to grow and spread itself, or care
fully cultivated, until scarcel y blade of
grain can be seen without very close in
spection. What benefit is it2 We never
heard any person (save one) say it was
good for anything but to poison and root
out every thing valuable from the ground.
We never heard one speak of it. but to
scold that it should have existence still
it is suffered to keep quiet possession. If
it is noxious weed, why not destroy it
it can be done-and now is the time to do
it. The field is even now white for the
harvest How can it be done! Simply
by pulling it up, root and branch, and car
rying it from the field, and putting it
where no soil can nurse it-where it's
seeds cannot be blown about bv the winds
even into the fire 1t will be giving
fresh labor for old pains, to pull it up and
throw it upon the soil, for its seeds will
grow thus disposed Of 1t will be great
job to pull it up, granted it will be a
good one, no one will deny. In some
fields, we observe but few Of the plants !;
spare them not now for their beauty -
they spread like the contagion OF vice -
they may be here conquered with compar-
alive ease. Out with them, we say, spare
them not Suffer them not to enter your
barns with your hay, to be spread with
your manure, over the whole of your
grounds. The seeos OF each flower are
numerous-their name is legion. Burn,
sink and destroy them while you can
without the labor of Hercules
We speak of the worse than uselessness
of this weed, on the authority of many
farmers, who, in purchasing grass seeds
are careful to see that there is no white
weed among it. Still, if they are mistaken
and any farmer can show that there i:
any value in it-that it make good hay
that it ought not to be abated as a nuisance
let them come forward, if they please
and state wha;they know about it.-Port

few persons in this country sufficiently
expert in the art to stack it so as to insure
its preservation. In narrow sheds, one
load is considerably dried before another
is thrown on it, and when the sheds are
filled, the narrowness ofthe bulk being so
much greater, there is far less danger of
injury to the hay by heating.-Tennessee

HAYMAKING-As the season is draw,
ing near, when this important branch oil
industry is about to be commenced, it NAV
not be improper to give a few hints to
our farmers concerning the most approx.
ed method of making hay.
The grass should not be cut until the
seeds are approaching maturity, and the
stalks begin to turn little brown, as al
that time the grass is much sweeter, con
tains more nourishment, and is more east
ly cured. Great care should be taken not
to dry hay, and particularly clover, toe
much in the sun, nor suffer it to remain
exposed to fall of dew, as heavy dew is
more injurious to hav, than a shower
The experienced Editor OF the Genesee
Farmer, makes the following remarks re
specting the process of making hay
which we consider 80 much better thar
anything we can say on the subject, thai
we shall adopt it.-Western Arg.
1.-The more approved practice, is tc
dry it partially in the swath, and finish
by what is termed the sweating process
or drying in small cocks, the heat of a
very slight fermentation assisting. The
labor of spreading is thus saved, there is
little injury from exposure to dew, and the
thin leaves and succluent stalks become
equally dried together. Where this plan
has been tried. many successive days oil
rainy weather have not prevented the
making of excellent hay; and indeed,
while the outside Of the cock is wet by the
falling rain, the interior has been constant
Iy drying by the slight heat generated
Every farmer should at least try this
method and every one who tries it fairly,
adopts it.
