Harvesting BuckWheat.

FARMERS sometimes lose considerable
portion of their buckwheat by allowing II
| to become too ripe before harvesting.
Buckwheat never. ripens all its grain at
| the same time, as it throws out succession
of blossoms. Sometimes the early BIOS
SONS are partially blighted andd not pro-
duce much grain, while the late blossoms
are fruitful Occasionally the results are
reversed-the early blossoms producing
grain, and the late ones being blIghted.
| In a very favorable season, both the early
and the late blossoms produce grain, but it
does not ripen at the same time, so that by
the time the late grain is ripe great part
of the early viii be lost by shedding. Care
should be taken to cut the crop at the
time when the most grain can be secured.
The straw is very succulent, so that if
the crop is cut when the early portion OF
the grain has become brown, and set up
in stocks or bundles in the field with the
butts of the straw on the ground, and the
tops exposed to the sun, the late grain will
come to maturity in few days. By Judi
cious management, in this particular, very
little of the early grain will be lost by
shedding, and the late will be plump and
well filled. When cut at the right time
and properly cured, the straw of buck
wheat makes good forage for sheep.
When chopped with straw-cutter and
steamed, it forms pulpy mass which is
eaten with avidity by cattle, sheep or hogs.
The addition of little bran, corn meal,
or middlings will be great improvement
to the pulp.-WesterN Ra1ral.

To Sweep Floors.

CONCERNING this very important opera
ton the New York Observer says:
In the days of Puritan grandmothers
no girl was considered fit to receive pro-
posals of marriage until she could make a
good hemlock broom; but in these later
times many a young lady not only offers
herself in the matrimonial market, but
absolutely gets married, and undertakes to
manage her house, without knowing how
to use a broom that some one else has
made. We have seen broom used so I'M
skillfully that one would think the person
engaged in using it was endeavoring to
transfer the dust from the floor to the fur.
niture.
1t requires some science, or at least skill
to use broom well. To do this sEillfully,
the handle should incline forward and not
back. If the top of the broom imclines for.
ward beyond the part next the floor, il
will prevent much of the dust from rising
into the air, and will carry it along by a
gentle sliding motion toward the place
where it is to be disposed of If, on the
other hand, che handle of the broom in
clines backward, the dust is sent in the all
| by a kind of jerk, to the detriment OF
everything in the apartment. More than
this, it wears off the threads of the car
pet quicker, Injuries the paint more, if the
| floor is unexpected, and destroys the
broom sooner than if the sweeping is done
in rational way A brush OF bristles is
| always better to sweep carpet, as it is
less liable to "kick up dust" or to injure
the texture of the carpet.

Pasturing Meadows.

IT is q bad thing for all meadows to feed
them after moving, except that rare class
where the vegetation is too rank to make
good hay. 1t field cuts four tons of hay
to the acre, feeding few days might not
harm it. But tor ordinary moving land
cutting only half as much, grazing cannot
fail to reduce the next years crop, and to
shorten the period during which the land
can be kept in grass. We noticed this
summer in an old meadow the great diff
ference in the yield of hay inside OF an
old stock-yard, and upon the adjoining
land: The circle where the fence had
stood was very distinctly marked by the
ranker growth of grass. Outside, there
bad been grazing all through the fall. In
side, the fence had protected the grass.
Though the outside had the droppings of

Selecting Trees.

SELECT low trained, stOcky trees, even
if you decide to remove the lower branch
es after they are in place. | have found,
from experience, that such trees are bet
ter rooted, and they will, in nine cases out
of ten, succeed best in the orchard. But,
strange as it may appear, four persons out
of six will choose a tall spindling tree in
preference to stocky one, and, therefore,
nurserymen are compelled to train trees to
suit the market, instead Of what their ex-
perience and judgment would dictate.
Trees that have been forced too much
N the nursery row, as a general thing, do
not succeed as well as trees grown on land
OF medium strength. AS case in point,
we imported from France, six years ago,
one thousand Bartletts, two years from
the bud Everybody who saw them, said
they were, without doubt, the finest lot
they had seen. The second years growth
averaged four feet long, and the young
wood looked as if it might be made into
servlceable walking canes. These trees
were planted on clay soil, well prepared
and IN good condition. 1t would have pro-
duced three tons of timothy hay to the
acre, or fifty bushels of shelled corn.
After planting, the trees were cut back
and great care taken of them. In two
years from the time of planting, three
hundred and twenty -four died. The only
solution that can give, is, that they were
stimulated to such an extent in the
nursery, that when transplanted in an
ordinary soil, the roots did MOI supply the
amount necessary to keep the top in its
unnatural condition On close examine
ton of the young wood, l found it to be
soft and spongy. | have no doubt that
forcing trees with putrescent manures is
the cause of the numerous cases from
which young trees suffer for two or three
years after being set out. l do not mean
to say that you should select stunted trees,
but such as have healthy appearance,
with moderate growth of young wood,
if, on examination, you find it hard to the
extreme end of the branches. You will
often find, on cutting the young wood of
trees that have been forced too rapidly,
dark brown spot in the centre or heart of
the twig; this is sure indication of an
unnatural growth, and great care will have
to be given, or many of the trees will not
survive more than one or two years. The
best remedy for this is to cut off at least
two-thirds of the previous years growth,
and mulch the ground for space of three
feet around the body of the trees.-Pedr
