ABOUT BUCKwHEAT-FcW crops can be
turned to better account on poor, light
grayelly soil, than buckWheat. 1t possesses a
chemical action on the soil, by which the coarser
particles are discntegrated or rendered finer,
and the soil is thereby improved. Pure in
organic earth-that is, earth unmXed with
animal or vegetable matters produced by
the disintegration of pulverizng rocks. Slick
or sand, is the oxide or rust Of Sllicium or to
make it more familiar, ii is pulyerized quartz
Clay is produced by the decomposition Of
feldspar. Now all the quartz and feldspar in
the world, while existing in the form of rock
will not produce blade of grass it is only
when decomposed Or pulyerizcd and the finer
the PARTICLES the better the soil.
If soil, then, is coarse, the object Of the
farmer should be TO pulverizc it. which can only
be done by some chemical application or the
growing of some crop which has that chemical
power. Buckwhcat, by process yet undis-
covered, has that power, and the longer it is
cultivated on given piece Of ground, the finer
will be the particles Of the soil. 1t Injuries
land for corn, but leaves it in finer order for
potatoes, and is the best crop to kill out bushes,
wild grass and mellow grceNsward. To fit the
land for the next succeeding crop, in rotation,
plough in a crop of buckwhcat in blossom
As food for man, except in small quantities,
we could not recommend it, as cakes made from
it, though light when hot, and heavy as cold

Remedy for the WeeviI.

We noticed in the last weeks Reporter, that
it was stated, as the experience of farmers who
had tried it that lime wonld prevent the ravages
Of the weeyi. We see in almost every paper testi-
mony as to this fact, AM we suy1e to our farm
crSthat the experiment is worth trying 1t will
cost but little time or expense to give it a
thorough trial, and if successful, it may save
many dollars to those who otherwise would
have found their wheat crop nearly or entirely
ruined by the wecyil
The paragraphs below are from the Ahr0a
(Ohio) Beacon, which seem to Indicate that the
remedy is certain one -
We arc informed by Mr. Chambcrlie, of the
CITY Mill that the farmers of Vermont are in
the habit Of heading the movements of wecvil
by very simple process The next season
after it makes It's appearance they go through
their wheat fields, about the time when the
wheat is heading, Immediately after a shower,
or while the dew is on it, aud scatter newly
Sackened lime broad cast, SO that it will adj
here to the stems Of the grain. They use about
Il buShel to the acre.
Good lime should be secured, and slackened
by sprinkling little water over it, SO as to
retain all its strength. a paddle may be used
in scatteringit it, The remedy has, it is said,
been so effectually tried, as to leave no doubt
of the result
Strips in large wheat fields left untouched by
the lime, for experiment, have been entirely
destroyed by the weevil, while the grain on
each side was all saved.
Since this Intelligence was received Mr..
Jesse Allen, of the Centre Mill, has received
corroborating information from a Muskingum
county farmer, who had seen the same practice
and the same result

Advocate, we notice q call in the adj
vertisement columns for meeting Of
English, French and Pitmontaise, at
the Washington Hotel, opposite the
Court House, to take steps, to have
re Deum,, sung IN honor Of the taking
Of Sobastopol. This is late, and also
rather premature. sebastopol, was
only taken over the telegraph and into
the papers aud still remains where
it was--in possession of the same par
tea as before. Anything however for
little excitement. We feel we could
well joiran the chorus of song on
the takisg Of sebastopol, since it is
not taken.
