Threshing Buekwheat.

As this is the month in which bucAwh heat is
usually gathered and threshed, we have a word
or two to say on the latter branch of this labor.
1t is q long time custom with some farmers To
thresh their buckwheat in the field where 1t Is
grown. The reasons for it, as they say, are, that
it is handler than to cart it to the barn; 1t shells
out less, and therefore wastes less; and the work
is So quickly done that it is altogether better
provided the weather is good" We will not stop
TO enumerate the mshaps which this proviso is
occasionally subjected toin long storms, by which
the entire crop is damaged, or lost, but cOntine
the objection TO Singleton or two. In the first
place, if the ground is hard enough to make a
threshing floor without carrying boards OF planks
for the purpose and barricading to keep the grain
from flying out by. the action of the fails upon
it, the grain gets full of grit and dirt from which
it is almost impossible for the tanning mill to
clean it. And this, with the extra labor laid out
upon it, with loss of straw, costs quite as much
as to haul the cut grain to the barn and then do
the Job up tidily, saving the straw, aud getting
a good yield of clean seed.
In the second place, if you have barn, the
harvested crop, when sufficiently dry, can be
hauled in, and there lay for bad out-ofdoor wca-
ther, in which you may thresh it without pre-
iudice to other work which must have fair wea-
ther. We prefer a threshiug machine for buck.
wheat. to the fail, provided the straw is not SO
long or stout as to clog it. The grain is much
cleaner, and for Touring purposes altogether bet
ter as good deal of the grain is partially hulled
by the teeth Of the thresher. Besides this, it is
threshed perfectly clean, and none is left in the
straw. After threshing, let the grain be thinly
spread over floor, till dry. Ii will yield double
the Hour, and that of better quality, than when
ut all moist, besides occasionally getting musty.
Save all the straw. 1t is the best of cattl, bed

Winter Clothing.

In his experiments to determine the heat con-
Quoting power of linen, cotton, wood and sIlk,
Sir Humphrey Davy found not only that these
materials conducted heat in the order given
above, linen being the best, but also that tight
ness important influence. Ii is therefore evI-
dent that in the selection of winter clothing, and
especially of that to be worn next To the skin,
the materials of least conducting power, as wool
aud silk should be chosen, and the fabrics should
be loosely woven.
As regards the external garments, the came
rule applies with eqnal force but in this case care
should be taken To remove Overcoats and shaw Is
when in a warm room; especially should this
precaution be observed in the instance of the
fnrs worn by ladies' The habit of wearing these
articles for hours in succession while shopping
and visiting often weakens the power of ress-
lance in the wearers that they become the ready
victims of inflamatiUus of the throat and lungs
To such an extent does this occur in New York
that many of the most skillful physicians advise
their patients to discontinue the use of furs aud
the advice is often followed with the most salts

If you dig around peach with the yellows
you will be first struck with mushrooney smell
Picking out the roots, and examining with a
lens, YOU will see millions of thread-ibres which
which are the myoelia of fungi. These eat the
younk fibres, and leave only the main roots,
through which all the nutrment of the plant
has to be gathered; and as an old root is unable
to do much more than draw in water, the tree
becomes in measure starved, and the leaves be-
come yellow, just as they would be if growing
in poor SOIL which, though the plant might have
plenty of roots furnished nothing for the roots to
eat. To have plenty of roots and no food is equi-
valent to have plenty of food and no root. The
effect on the plants is just the same. Remedies
which look to the destruction of this root para
site are employed. Hot water has done it, so
has a weak solution of salt; Others have found q
solution of potash to succeed. The exact nature
of this fungi, SO far as We know, has not been in
vestigsted to entire satisfaction. Fungi are very
polymOrphOus. This one may enter into the cir
eulatiou of the plant, aud exist in that case as
an apparently distinct species, extending through
the tissue, and destroying it as it goes. This
seems hkeiy from experiments by Mr.. Thomas
Taylor, OF the department of agriculture. AT any
rate u Is generally believed that a bud, even
a knife used in pruning diseased tree, will COM
municate the disease TO a healthy one.-Tke

A Cen.;n C.r,.f,, CsiiI, and Fever


Several years ago was travelling win NeIs
intelligent Kansas stOck-dealer, In tne conIse
of conversation he remarked that IN the early
settlement of that State he had suffered much, rs
all early settlers always do in the West, froul
this disease. He had used the ordinary re-
NEEDLES, largely composed of qninine, with Inc
usual results-curing for the time being, to re-
turn again in a week OF two. Being among some
of the Indians south of that State he came across
a Frenchnan who called himself doctor. This
man advised him to get au ounce OF eampnor' All
in one piece, if possible, sewing IL up ~ small
cloth bag, hanging it round his neck with tape
so it would come at the bottom Of the sternuu
or breast bone, aud securing it there with anoth
er tape round the body to keep it in place. This
he said would all evaporate in week or ten
DAYS when be must get another aud use IN the
same way. Two ounces thus nse, custing ~
cents, would cure, he declared, the worst case 81
ague so that il would never come back. The
Kansas mau declared that he had tried this RENE
dies in hundreds of cases, aud had never known
it to fail. Since obtaining this information
have tried it many times with the same results
