BUCKWHEAT AS A FERTILIZER.

A question which is beginning to con-
front many of us is the restoration Of worn
out wheat lands. Glover has been general
ly recommended as the best fertilizer, yet
the difficulty often of getting good catch,
especially in a dry season and in weedy
land, has led many to try that surer crop
buckwheat. We have been interested in
the correspondence of gentleman in Illi-
nols, as published in the Country Gentleman,
on this point. In the course of his remarks
he says: IL settled in the spring of 1854 on
a piece of land that had on it about thirty
acres of land that called worn out. Tt had
been in corn fourteen years and the neigh
bors said it was useless to try corn any
more. Iplowed it up, sowed it to buck
wheat, plowed that in while in bloom,
sowed to rye, plowed the rye in the next
spring, and planted to corn, and better
crop no reasonable man could expect.
About three years ago / sowed one-third of
the wheat ground to buckwheat the last of
July or early in August, and plowed it in
the Goth of September and sowed to wheat.
The result was obtained thirty-three bush
els of wheat to the acre, and only fifteen
where no buckwheat was sowed. I think
buckwheat is better than rye to kill weeds ;
but, of course, if crop is intended to be
plowed in for corn, it must be sowed in the
fall, and then we must use rye; but for
wheat or stnbble, buckwheat is just what

FEEDING FOR EGGS.

The profit of a poultry yard depends to a
great extent as to how it is managed. This
is true of any business. The idea should be
to make every fowl pay as large a profit as
possible. There is a great difference in
markets, aud one should be governed by
them; for instance, in one market there is
more demand for eggs than fowls. Then it
ter to that trade. AS q rule, think there
is more profit in eggs than fowls, unless
they are early spring broilers. With prop
er care and feed, one can increase the NUM-
ber of eggs to great extent. Hens cam
not lay or produces eggs unless their food
contains the elements OF which the egg is
composed. That is, a large share of album
inous or producing elements. In aldi-
ton to the quantity of albulnen required in
the organism of the fowl, the laying hen re-
zation, the white OF a hens egg being about
u per cent. of albumen. and this must be
furnished in her feed. BY making a cheml-
cal analysis Of the different grains, you will
find that wheat contains a larger amount Of
albumen than any other grain. Therefore
it is the grain to make the base for egg-pro-
ducing foood. The other important items
are when fowls do not have a large field to
range in to give them once day, If posi-
BILE, feed Of chopped meat and more or
less green food. Chickens are like the hn-
man family in one respect in that they like
a change in food. AS proof, take fowls
that have been fed on one kind of grain for
some time, and do not seem to have the ap-
petite that you would think they should
nave, give them little cooked food. such
as a cake made from coarse corn meal and
scraps cooked together, or some other grain
than that which you. have been feeding, and
you will see that they will jump for it and
eat it in style that will be satisfactory to
the most exacting. While wheat is one OF

ONE LESSON OF THE HARVEST.

The ancient Hebrews were wont to rem
der special sacrifices and perform special
services of thanksgiving after receiving par
ticular token Of Divine favor in exemption
from disease or loss in battle, or in the be-
stowment of abundant harvest. 1t is not
difficult to imagine what they would have
done after such bountiful harvest as that
which has just been sent upon us. How
loud would have been their songs OF thanks
giving, how numerous their sacrifices how
immense. the assemblies of those partici-
pating in the thanksgiving festivals! But
the deyout Jews carried their thanksgiving
farther than this. It was their custom at
such times under Divine direction, to be-
stow of their goods to feed and clothe the
poor and to release their claims upon those
indebted to them in cases where they were
unable to pay. 1t was commanded that

A GRICU / TT RAJ.

WE would urge upon our farmers that
they delay no longer in the important mat
ter of planting orchards. The perfection
years should stimulate every farmer to
plant out sufficiency for his own use at
least. A few acres, or even half an acre
would be sufficient to furnish fruit for most
of our farmers the entire year, and it is
much healthier. more palatable and cheaper
than meats. Nothing can make home more
home-like than a pantry well stored with
canned and preserved fruits, jellies, etc.
The beauty of fruit-growing in Montana, is
that it hits every year. Only few varie-
ties fapples have yet been grown, but they
prove apple growing possibility. Siberian
crabs are as prolific and fine as any country
can boast of.
Heretofore trees and shrubs have been
very high, but as the railroad advances
there is a marked decline and they are now
offered, at the farmers door, at rates that a
few years ago would have been called cheap.
Most shrubs may also be had through the
mails at very reasonable rates. Small fruits
bear abundantly the second year, and some
have fruit on the first year. Surround your
homes with fruit orchards, and instead of
the bleak naked look without and the dis
content and murmuri ngs within, there
will be coziness, contentment and happi-
ness. Instead of not being a fruit country,
as was once supposed, it is one OF the best
known. Everybody should at least haye an
orchard of small fl uit.

should come and eat and be satisfied; that
the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the
work of thine hand which thou doest."
How reasonable the comm and and how ap-
propriate the custom. The lesson we would
draw from it is that at such time as this
when bounteous harvests crown the labors
of the husbandmen it becomes them to man.
ifest their gratitude toward the giver of all
good by extra contributions to their minis
ters, by exercising greater charity toward
the poor, and making the widows heart re-
joice by seeing her larder we'll stocked with
provision and comforts for herself and little
ones. The last clause of the text quoted is
worthy of special attention. That ''the
Lord thy God may bless the" etc., imply

the best feeds for producing eggs, it is of
little value for fattenlng purposes compared
with corn, as corn contains great deal of
fatty or oily substance which puts the flesh
on fowls in very short time. Pure wa
ter is also very essential item to the health
of fowls, or if you have milk to spare, that
is better still, as it not only moistens the
food, but also contributes albumen, which
