Agricultural.
BUCKWHEAT.

In many cases thisis valuable grain. Ii
can often be raised on light land, too poor
for other crops; and it admits OF later
sowing than most other kinds of gram. 1t
d, es not succeed well when sOwed early.
A good time for sowing, in this sectInn, Is
from the tenth to the twenty-tifth of June.
We should prefer from the fifteenth TO the
twenty>ffih.
Some crops have ripened well in this
latitude when sowed as late as the fourth
of July. In the Middle States, buck
wheat is sowed late, 81 that II will have
barely time to ripen before frost. The
object of this is to prevent injury from the
hot sun in August, when the plant will be
in flower, if sowed rather early. Perhaps
the hot sun in this region has injured the
crop when bIossoming during the heat of
summer, and yet the cultivator may not
have been aware of the cause OF failure.
We advise experiments on this subject by
sowing little rather early, for trial.
Buckwheat is generally a cleansing
crop, as it destroys most kinds OF weeds
The weeds start with the wheat, but the
wheat is so rapid and rank in its growth,
that it destroys the most of them.
Buckwheat -four is valuable; and the
meal is excellent for swine. The grain is
fine for poultry, and for feeding pigeons
it is regarded as the best grain. Some
farmers sell their whole crop at dollar a
bushel to those who insnare pigeons in
nets.
Judge Hayes, of South Berwick. dis
tinguished for his attention to agriculture,
informed us that he ploughed about two
acres Of pasture land, and obtained very
good crop without manure, and with but
little labor. The straw made good fod-
der, and the pasture land was improved by
cultivation.-NeaC ENGLAND Farmer.

From The Woodstock Mercury.
SURVEY OF VERMONT


True it is that Vermont turns ont gold.
Her farmers and artisans and manufac-
turers are indeed gold diggerS. The evil
dence of this truth bursts upon the eye of
the traveller as he passes over the State.
He sees in her villages, and over the
country, that competence and independ>
ence, which show that the people have
discovered the true philosophers stone,
which converts other things into gold
There is no one mine of gold, but the
State itself is the mine, and its hills aud
valleys are teeming 'Cith the gold bearing
products of the philosophers stone which
is possessed by every industrious, perSe>
Uering and honest man.
The Geological survey was begun. in
order to make more extensive application
Of this philosophers stone, and thus TO
fill the pockets of the people. 1t will fail
of this object and of its chief object IN
less the Final Report is made and the
Survey brought to a successful close. The
people will 60 on to dig up gold in this
way, and be prospered, have no doubt,
but they will not make il so fast, neither
will they make so much of it in given
period. The citizens of the State have
been losers so far by the Survey, and will
be far greater losers if the Survey is not
completed and the last finish put upon it.
The State Geologist is able to complete
the Survey, so that it shall be an honor to
the State. This has been done in other
States, where the Annual Reports have
been no more satisfactory than in this,
and done also to the high honor and profit
of the people. The Annual Reports of
the Survey of Vermont contain ample ev-
idence of the ability of the Geologist 10
bring il to a successful and honorable ter
mination.
No OTHER man can make IL from this
Survey already accomplished. 1t is i'm
possible, because 10. other knows the
Thugs seen, or is able TO make the neces>
sary filling up in the notes of tie Geolo>
gst made at the time and on the spot
Some things might be reported by others:
but the full, systematic. necessary report
of the Survey,-the grand Final Report,
can be made only by the State Geologist
Shall ii be done? Shall it fail to be
male by the want of the small, but ade-
quate appropriation Shall the people
suffer this loss, and there be no remedy

A NEW FACT DISCLOSED.

We were not aware uutll recently that the
books Of newspaper publishers are consulted
10 quite large extent, by people in business,
TO ascertain the pecuniary standing OF per-
sons. Debts for newspapers come due once
a year and persons. who pay up regularly
for their papers, are regarded as prompt men,
and worthy Of conference.-the bad per-
son come INTO our office few weeks since, :
and ask, ''Do you send The Eagle now
to --?" We replied that we did
" Well" said the man, "he owes me about
forty dollars, and can't get i'll don't think
he's good" We looked secretly at his ac-
count, and found him all paid. We then re-
piled 10 the inquirer, THAT man is good

or something else may have prevented his
paying; but he is good. The mans ewes

idea.-" Well, " said he, " | will send nv

DR.. S. S. FiTcH.-The Scalpel, for
May, contains the following allusion TO
this parsonage, which we copy, at the re-
quest of physician, whose opinion, on
this point, incides with that of Dr. Dix
on:
God pity the wretches, whether in CT
out of the profession, who trifle with hu-
man life aud human feelings in this dread
fuI disease. There is in this city mise>
rable miscreant, who deludes thousands
with book containing precepts Of a tru-
ly admirable character, (gleaned from the
writings Of earnest and conscientious
men, so artfuIly mingled with his alIu-
sions to cures performed by his innumer-
able compounds, shoulder-brac IS, abdom-
inal supporters, breathing tubes, and 9TH
er scouudrel money-traps, that it makes
one blush to think he is called a doctor
The fellow talks of his having discovered
the use of the lungs Notwithstanding
such arrant absurdity, people believe and
trust him.

TO anti-slavery ground. and that is good.
Another good thing is, that there are now
but ta0O parties in the State-no triangu-
lar wariare-no contests without victory
one way or the other-We like that !:
there is chance for fair fight, and a
spur for an energetic one; and all we
have now to say 10 the Wings is simply
this: put on your arInor at once quit
yourselves like men; conquer, as you GER
tainly can if you will-or else be prepar>
ed TO receive handsome defeat, for which
you will have nobody to blame but your
selves. The locos have played their part
well. The Wings have only to do their
part as we'll, aud Vermont will stand even
more surely and firmly Wing than she has
done of late.

THE SHADOW OF THE PAST.

On JOY to the spring-tide sun,
For it opens the buds to leaves,
And it makes sweet climbers run
With their fragrance over the caves;
And it calls glad birds about
To sing new songs of praise;-
Oh, joy to the spring but it cannot bring
The JOY of by-gOne days.
think on the Past with thought
That paineth the bosom sore =
A face, form, to my mind is brought,
Which my eyes can never see more
hear a kind word said
By tongue that is mute and cold
l feel the clasp of a hand now dead
And whitening in the mould
But the thought of a friendship changed
Is worse than dream of tie dead
And think of the dear estranged
Till reason, with peace, seems fed.
There are hearts that loved me once,
There are hands that once carressed,
That are colder now than the frosts on the
bough
That killeth the bird in IFS nest !

YANKEE observation-disclosures are pro-
verbal for their of-hand gallantrv. Yankees,
we believe, are equal to the best of them. A
case in point Recently there came to our
city, on a visit, verdant youth direct from
snow-clad Green Mountain-dom. His city
connections are of some importance: and 1t
was not long ere he had an invitation to an
upper ten" party. Dressed in his " Sunday
co-to-meetins," he was ushered into the parlor
at an early hour. Among the company was a
pretty and quite bewitching Miss, to whom the
youth paid his special devOirs. She is quite
petite-he fully ''six-footer." When the
company were invited from the parlor to par
take of refreshments, the tall youth waited on
the pretty, petite Miss They took a position
back of the table, where the crowd was large
and room scarce The youth invited his part
ner to step up on stair which led into anoth-
er apartment.
"Oh, no !" she returned, 81 should be too
far aboue you!''
Z" Not at ALL" he replied, casting asigni6canrt
glance at her, "men are little Lo'ceT than TIE
