Culture of Buckwheat.

MEssRs. ED1roRs.-I wish to know on
what kind of soils buckwheat will grow
the bests And whether it is not great
exhaustcr of the sol9 and whether it can
be pro6tably turned under as a green
crop? 1t being objected to by some, that
the acid which it contains tends to render
the soil unproductire. L. KING.
Soils rather light than otherwise are
the best for buckwheat. On heavy clay
soils it rarely succeeds. From 80 to 40
bushels an acre are not an uncommon
crop on soils adapted to its culture, and
properly prepared. Buckwheat is not a
greater exhauster of the soil than other
plants which yield the same amount OF
straw and grain when removed from the
field. A few years since we saw a heavy
crop Of buckwheat on piece of land
from which the owner assured us he had
for thirteen years in succession taken a
similar crop. This was in one of the
southwestern counties of the state; the
soil light yellow loan. Buckwheat is
extensively used in Germany and some
other parts of Europe as a crop for a
green dressing, and is highly priced. In
England, turneps fed on the ground are
preferred, as in that way food for animals
and the dressing of the soil is at once
effected. 1t is very probable that on a
soil divested of alkalies, too liberal dres.
sing of any green plant might prove hurt.
full at first; but such instances must be
very rare, and small quantity of ashes
or lime strewed over the field would pre-.
vent the possibility of such result.

Coop BUTTER IN WINTER.-We often
hear the complaint that butter made in
winter is poor. Ours was so for several
seasons. 1t was very slow in coming,
and frothy, white, sometimes bitter; while
butter made from the same kind of milk
in the warm seasons was good. Idevised
many plans for improvement, such as
throwing in salt, warm milk, scalding
cream, &C., but to no purpose. At length
l scaldcd my milk when brought from
the COW, afterwards setting it in either a
cold or warm place, as was most conveu-
lent. / mean, communicated sufficient
heat to destroy the effect which frosty
feed has in autumn, or dry feed in winter,
upon it. Since which time we have made,
with fifteen minutes churning, purer,
sweeter, and more yellow butter than we
have ever made in summer-and some
times from the frozen cream gradually
warmed. And were it not that the in
crease of manufactures, the pursuit oil
fashion, and other causes combined, rem.
der holding hands in a dairy room nova
days very scarce, should be at the
trouble of scalding my milk before set
ting it during the summer as well as in
the winter; for surely butter in this way
possesses delicious richness and dryness
which can not be found in any other.

Ok DASc1Hc.-Dr. Fitch, in one of
his lectures on the uses of the lungs, and
on the mode of preserving health, says
Dancing is the king and queen Of in
door exercise. 1t is suitable for all clas-
ses, and ages, both sexes. 1t is most
elegant and most exhilarating exercise.
1t is one of the most ancient, and one of
the most salutary. I do not speak if it as
sipation, but as an exhilarating and
valuable exercise. Among the exercises
it is second to none. 1t is extremely
suitable for the sedentary, for invalids,
and for consumptives. | have known
one of the worst cases Of consumption |
ever knew cured by dancing alone, prac.
tised daily for many months. The cure
was permanent and complete.
1t is dcplorable that dancing and dam
cling amusements of nearly all kinds
should have fallen under the ban of the
cl,rgy, and should be preached against as
sinful. 1t is doubtful whether the morals
of mankind are benefited by forbidding
all amusements, and it is most certain
the health of thousands is sacrificed by it.
Who are those that sink earliest into
consumption among ladies q Allow me
to say, it is those who take least exercise,
and refrain from all amusements, who, at
school, at church, at home, are marked
as models; whose looks are demure,
whose walks are slow, and whose con-
ve-sation is always on serious subjucts.

A Coop WH1rEwAsH.-Half bushel
of unslacked lime, slack it with boiling
water, covered during the process. Strain
it, and add peck of salt, dissolved in
warm water, three pounds of ground
rice boiled to thin paste, put in boiling
hot; half a pound Of powdered Spanish
whiting; and a pound of clear glue
dissolved in warm water Mix, and let it
stand several days. Let it be put on
with a paint or whitewash brush, as hot
as possible.
Another mode-Make Whitewash in
the usual way, except that the water used
should have two double handfulls of salt
dissolved in each pailful of the hot water
used. Then stir in double hand of fine
sand, to make it thick like cream. Put
on hot. Coloring matter can be added
to suit fancy.

Mn. J. E. M.asnAL,-Dear Sir: In compli-
anee with your request, l make this simple state
ment Of facts. My boy Daniel stuck thorn in
his foot about the first Of last June, the thorn
was extracted, and no more thought Of it for Is
or 90 days, his foot then began to swell, and in
few days it was opened. 1t discharged large
quantity of matter. The discharge continued
for eight days. and then ceased. His foot then
recommended swelling and extended up his leg,
thigh, and hip, with violent pain. He then be.
gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that
discharged from the abscess on his foot. I then
called in medical aid, and from the remedies used,
he was alternately better and worse for eight or
ten weeks. During this time large absccss
formed upon the hip, the discharge was large,
and as soon as it ceased, general swelling of his
leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very
hard to the touch, and at times experienced much
difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed of
no further avail, and was discontinued. then
had recourse to your Magical Pain Eradicator.n
In forty-eight hours, from the time commenced
its use his foot began to soften the swelling on
his hip and breast subsded, and I am pleased to
say he is no1o ueU.

multiplicity Of business which crowded
upon him in term time, he stopped at the
store Of beautiful widow on the sunny
side Of thirty, who, by the way, had often
bestowed melting glances on the sheriff
aforesaid. He was admitted, and soon
the widow appeared; the confusion and
delight which the arrival of her visitor
had occasioned, set off to a greater ad.
