"BREARING In BOOTs AND SHOEs.-A writel

this text with the following practical remarks,
which we heartily indorse
l. Never "break in" boots or shoes. If they
are not easy when new, don't take them; fol
the boots will break your feet oftener than your
feet will break the boots.
2. If you go on ''breaking in" boot leather,
you will need special last made with all sorts
of tuberances and knobs to correspond with your
distorted joints. Then you win be sorry.
3. If you have large feet, admit it in all hon.

sew a Buekwheat Crop.

Buckwheat is the latest grain crop of the sea-
son. and is soWn in the Northern States early in
July. 1t is raised habitually ON some farms with
soil particularly favorable to its production, but
on most farms it is only occasionally sown as a
cleansing crop on foul or rough land, or to NIL
some place made vacant by the failure of other
crops. Its straw has no appreciable value for
fodder. The grain is chiefly used among farm
ers in the feeding of poultry, and the -four for
the generally admired buckwheat cakes. 1t is
an excellent cleansing crop, especially If the
ground has laid fallOw during the first part of
the season, and had one or two crops of weeds
turned in a fertilizer. 1t grows so rapidly, in
the midsummer heat, that all other vegetation
upon the soil is smothered. 1t is sOwn, frequent
ly, upon old brush pastures after thorough plOw-
ing and narrowing, and is q good dlsntegrator
of the rough clods. 1t is used, TO some extent,
as a green manure, to be turned in for rye, early
in September. We have seen rather light, sandy
soils, deficient in vegetable matter, treated in
this way for succession OF years, with excellent
results and q steady increase in the rye crop.
The land yielded each year green manure crop
of buckWheat and crop of rye. Though so gen.
orally cultivated without manure, it is much
mole profitable to apply light dressing of some
good concentrated fertilizer. One hundred
pounds of Peruvian guano to the acre, twice
that quantity of reliable superphosphate, or
of fish scrap, will greatly increase the yield of
buckwheat, and add to the profit of cultivation.
In growing the crop as a green manure for poor
land, 1t is specially important to use some kind
of manure to give it start. When the crop is
raised for grain, the cutting is done with the
cradle or horse-reaper, and raked up the next
morning before the dew is off from il. No bind
ing is needed for the punches, which are set up
on end, cured few days in the sun, and sent
from the field to the thrashing-foor or thrashing
machine. The grain is eagerly eaten by poultry,
and for variety is one of the best for laying
fowls. 1t also makes an acceptable variety for
horses when ground with corn and oats, or corn
and rye, and fed moderately. 1t is too cheating"
for swine the bran given to cows in slop helps
to increase the milk, but makes the butter white.
The quantity of seed per acre is 2 to pecks.-

Stevens, the famous artistic jeweler of
Union Square, has had the honor of setting
new fashion in engagement rings. A
wealthy young gentleman, one of the jeu-
nssSe dore, stepped in the other day to find
a ring that would suit his betrothed. He
did not want solitaire acknowledgement
too hackneyed; besides, she had a solitaire
diamond set in black onyx, the legacy of a
deceased aunt and as it was handsome he
could hardly hope to surpass it. MIR. Ste
vens showed HIM a new ring, the centre of
which was large, perfectly round, and
lovely white pearl, with two diamondd of
the purest water above and below on a high
ly wrought bar of gold. ''Oh, my pearl p
was the exclamation which the sight of the
gem brought forth from the lover, and with
the declaration that that was exactly what
he wanted; that it would Just suit his fair
fancee, and the like, the ring was pur-
chased, laid upon its delicate satin cushion,
and sent, with ''my pearl" written upon a
slip Of paper, and twisted around itT
Wasn't that rather nice idea At least

received it, and the five hundred dear
friends to whom she showed it. And now
