Buckwheat Culture.

This cereal is am important and valuable
crop to cultivate. Its habits aud chemical
constituents are such that good remunera-
tive crop is produced upon land that would
not produce good crop of wheat or barley.
The time of sowing varies with the season and
locality. Buckwheat is generally sown from
the 22d of June to the 9th of July never
tholess, if sown late, good crop will often
times be produced. The uuiutiated should re-
member that it sown too early the drouth and
scorching sun blasts the flower, rendering it
uuiruitlul and if too late, it Is apt to be in
lured by frost before maturity. II will grow
upon any titled soil; light loan is best
adapted to this crop. | am uuacquainted
with a crop that is so perfectly adapted to
be sown on newly cleared land as this one.
Its rapid and dense growth completely hides
other slow growing plants and obnoxious
weeds from the genial influence of the SUMS
rays; in fact, have known a spot OF ground
completely covered with the Canada thistle
CirSiilR arre7lSc - entirely rid of this pest by
two crops of huckwheat 1t has a spreading
habit; therefore, only such quantities of seed
should be sown as will cause the plants to
cover the whole surface sown when in bios
som. Those farmers who have made the cul-
turo Of buckwheat speciality inform me
that one-half bushel per acre is a sufficient
quantity if sown evenly over the whole sur.
face. The average yield of this crop is from
twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre, yet on
good soil and a favorable season double this
amount is often produced Not only should
it be sown for food for the human family, but
in sections whore bees are kept, the flowers
are their iayorte resort. 1t is most val.
liable plant for blowing in as a ltrtilizer.-

Summering Young Calves.


The first summer is the important one for
calves. If they come through it in good,
sound, thrifty condition, their future rearing
is easy. If they get pot-belied, out of shape,
and stunted, n year will be lost in their de-
yelopment and growth, and they will never
be so good as they would have been had they
kept growing from their birth. The secret Of
success in raising calves is to keep them thrift
ty from The rerg start Let them never get
check, and they will pay in the end for
the extra care. A frequent mistake is to
turn calves out to grass too early They
have to eat a large amount of succulent food,
to supply to their unprotected digestive or
gans a sufficient amount of such nutrment as
they can use, and they develop enormous
pounches, out of all proportion to their frames.
by irolicklng they expend, in muscular waste,
material that should 60 to help their growth,
and by becoming oyerheated, they disarrange
their entire systems. Later in the season,
on stinted, drought-parched pastures, they are
often as much starved by the want of food as
they were earlier by the want Of ability to
make complete use Of what they did eat.
Calves should not be weanod ON grass. UNI
less constantly with their dams and receiving
bountiiul supply Of milk late into the sea-
son. Good rowen hay, Tor cured grass,
which contains large proportion of nutri-
ment that the young stomachs can easily ap.
proprlate, and liberal feeding, twice or three
times day, with Observation-Disclosures
water, so that they will drink the more milk
is the best bill Of fare for at least four
months At the end of this time, they may.
unless the weather is excessively hot, be
gradually accustomed to short and fine pas
ture, until they will thrive ON that alone.

The best way 20 keep young chickens Is TO
allow the mother to ramble with them where
she pleascs. They will thus secure, according
to their wants, the heat of the sun, the cooling
Of the shade, exercise, air, and variety Of
suitable food The next best thing Is to follow
the loug-establishod custom of combining the hen
in coop near the dwelling and allowing
the chickens to run ont and in at their pleas
urc. In many places you cannot coniino the
hen in a coop, anu let the chickens run ut
large, without riskiug the loss Of most of
them. A friend near us constructed large
coops six or eight feet long aud four feet
high by four feet wide all made with slat-
work, and kept the hen and chickens together
therein, and got pretty good thing aud saved
his chickens. This year we thought we would
improve on our friends plans We made a
frame work of similar size, and instead of
covering it with slat-work, we covered it with
netting, putting boards in the ground all round
the bottom, coming up eight or ten inches
and this was in light, airy place. partly I'M
der the shade trees. a box was placed in one
corner for shelter. We put in hen and
her brood of twelve chickens and never saw
any thing do better. We had just what we
wanted--a safe, cheap coop, with plenty of
light and air We took good deal Of pride
in our new arrangements, and the cats and
rats found poor picking in our young flock
For several days every thing went ON wcr;
but in this, as in all things else in this world,
we soon found that we could not be sure of
avoiding annoyances and disappointments
One morning We found that six of our chick
ems had been killed during the night and
nothing was left behind to tell how We
presume our wicked friend was "a weasel 1t
must have gone through the meshes of the net-
ting, less than an inch square. We propose
now to use a netting Of strong Irvine with very
small meshes, and we believe we shall then
have the best aud safest arrangement for
raising chickens that can be found, the great
object being to obtain for the brood the great
est quantity Of light and air, without which
we are convinced they do not prosper WE'LL
