BENEFIT OF BUCKWHEAT in OR.
CHARDS.

j. L. Budd, Esq, who is well known
as one of the most intelligent and sue
cessful horticulturists in Iowa, and is
now Professor of Horticulture and
= Forestry in the Faculty of the Iowa
State Agricultural College, has an ar
ticle in the June number of The Pro
d,lcer, published by that institution,
on the subject of the benefit of buck,
wheat in orchards, which orchardists,
and farmers who have orchards, will
find full of excellent suggestions:
"Our most successful nurserymen in
Central and Northern Iowa have been
in the habit of sowing buckwheat in
rows of young nursery trees about the
10th of July, havirg found by expert
ence that it wonderfully aided the ri
pening of the wood of the young trees,
thus carrying them safely through the
succeeding winter. Our most success
full orchardist have also been in the
habit of sowing buckwheat between
the tree rows in young orchards about
the middle of June, after turning the
weed growth and proceeding years
rubbish, by very shallow blowing.
Sometimes the buckwheat sowing is
omitted after this June plowing, and
the weeds allowed to grow unmolested
through the remainder of the season.
In both cases the light plowing under
of the weeds at this time acts as sur
face mulching, and the after growth of
the buckwheat or the weeds, tends %
shade or keep the surface cool during
the hot months. While the weed
growth answers the purpose very well,
the buekwheat, on the score of neat
ness of appearance, has the decided
advantage, besides it is found in prac
tice to result in even more perfect
growth and maturity of the trees, even
when the crop is utalized and nothing
left on the ground in Autumn but the
stubble
Few will believe without fair trial
the very great benefit Of this surface
shading of our orchard soils during the
Summer months. If the buckwheat
be sown in the manner suggested for
three years in succession on one end of
the rows in your young orchard, and
the other end of the rows be cultivated
in the usual way, with corn, potatoes,
beans, etc., the difference Of appear
ance. growth and fruiting of the trees,
will astonish you. Where the soil is
kept porous and cool by the buckwheat
the leaves-of the same varieties-will
be larger, the growth of the trees far
more rapid, and if large enough for
fruiting, the fruit will be larger, fairer
and more abundant. -
Ii the winters are very severe, and
some of the varieties are slightly ten
der, another important difference will
be found. Partly or entirely Winter
killed trees will be found in the end
with usual culture, while the same
varieties will be perfect at the other
end. Yet while commencing the buck
wheat shading SO specially, 1 do not
wish to overlook the fact that if weed
growth be allowed at one end-a.ter
the June plowing-the benefit In favor
of the buckwheat will not be so appar-

GGoD KNOWS"


An emigrant ship loundered in storm,

baptism, the question was asked by some
body, What name:" and the reply was

touched by the words, caused headstone
to be erected, bearing only this: God
Knows
An cmigrant ship with world aboard
Went down by the head on the hentlSh
coast,
No latter of bunting at half-mast lowered,
No cannon to toll for the creatures lost.
Two hundred and twenty their souls let
slip,
Two hundrend and twenty with speech
less lip
Went staggering down in the fonnaered
ship,
Nobody can tell it-not you nor ]
The frenzy of fright when lightning
thought
Wove like shuttle the far and the nigh,
Shot quiyering CLEANS through the long
forgot,
And lighted the years with ghastly glare,
A second year, and a second TO spare
Mid surges Of water and gasps Of prayer.
The heavens were doom, and the Lord
was dumb,
The clowd and the breaker were bent
in one,
No angel in sight-not any TO comet
God pardon their sins for the Christ
His Son,
The temptest died down, as the temptest
will,
The sea in rivulet drowze lay still,
The roses were red on the rugged hill
The roses that blow in the early light
And die into gray with the mists of night.
Then drifted ashore in a nightgown
dressed
A waif of a girl with her sanded hair,
And hands like prayer on her cold blue
breast,
And smile on her mouth that was not
despair
No stitch on the garment even to tell
Who bore her, who lost her, who loved
her well,
Unnamed as rose-was 1t Norah or Nell?
The coasters and wreckers around her
stood,
And gazed on the treasure-trove land
ward cast,
As round a dead robin the sturdy wood,
Its plumage all rent and the whiTlwind
past.
They laid white cross on her home
made vest,
The coffin was rude as redbreast's nest,
And Door was the shrOud, but perfect rest
Fell down on the child like due on the
west.
