Buckw heat In the West.

Western farmers are constantly COM
planning that there is no home market
for their products, and that they are
obliged to send everything they raise to
the seaboard States or to Europe in or
der to obtain money forit. The cost of
transportation. they affirm, reduces the
price to such an extent that there is lit
tie or no profit in farming. If they had
home market for their crops they
could become wealthy in the business
of producing them. They say all these
things, in face of the fact that this mar
ket is supplied with turnips from Cana
da, cider from Ohio, corn-husks from
Maryland, peanuts from Tennessee and
sweet potatoes from New Jersey.
This market is rarely supplied with
the requisite amount OF buckwheat, or
the flour made from it. What general
ly passes for buckwheat flour is mixture
in various proportions, of rye and corn
meal, wheat middlings and small
quantity of the article for which it is
named. The comparatively small
amount of buckwheat sold here and in
other Western cities comes principally
from New York, Pennsylvania and Can
ada. There is no good reason why the
West can not produce this grain not
only for home consumption, but for the
supply of other sections of the country
The consumption of buck wheat would
be doubled if a genuine article of flour
was manufactured and put on the mar
ket in packages suited to the wants of
the retail trade.
Take the seasons as they go, buck
wheat is profitable crop to raise. Only
half bushel of seed is sufficient for
an acre. The average yield per acre
is about twenty bushels. A machine
is not necessary to cut it, and it may be
thrashed economically with fail and
winnowed by pouring it through a cur
rent of air. 1t exhausts the soil less
than any sOwn crop that can be pro-
duced on it. 1t may be raised to good
advantage on land too poor to produce
paying crops of corn, wheat, oats, rye
or potatoes. The crop is useful in
subduing tough sod and preparing it
for the growth of plants that require
thorough cultivation. The ground may
the grain harvested at times when work
on the farm is not driving. 1t mature
quicker than any field crop produced on
northern farms.
A fair yield of grain is often obtained
from land on which a crop of fall rye or
grass has been harvested before the
blowing was done. To produce a large
crop the soil should be good. To give
the best results it should be as well pre-
pared as for n crop of corn or small
grains. The reason why small crops of
buckwheat are often produced are man
fest. The land on which it is sown
is of the poorest quality, and no pains
are taken with its preparation. The
seed is often several years old, and is
scattered over the ground by person
uaacquanted with sowing grains An
attempt is made to cover it by drawing
harrow over a lot of turf, stones and
Jumps of hard earth. No good crop OF
my kind is obtained by this kind of
management. Chicago Times.

Distressing Effects Of Perihelisns.

Astronomers tell us that a remarka-
BILE opposition is taking place among
the more influential planets of our sys-
tenn. In other words, they are rang
ing themselves on either side of the sun
in such a manner that a straight rod of
sufficient length could be passed
through their centerS and that of the sun.
Whoever remembers that implement
in the schools consisting of a wooden
frame with parallel wires stretched
across it, on each of which were little
wooden balls, the whole intended as a
help in teaching children to count, will
understand the coming planetary situa-
ton. Let half q dozen of those balls
stand for the planets and let the wire
be imagined, and we have the idea.
Such an arrangement, the astronomers
say, has not occurred for eighteen hun
dred years, and that serious disturb
anceS of all forms of matter and mind
may be looked for rs the outcome of it.
Mr. Richard Proctor, who has never
been known to exaggerate, gives in his
adhesion to the total programme.
These planets, when once drawn up on
the celestial parade ground, will be in
perihelion-that is, each one will be at
its nearest point TO the sun. Contemp-
lating this fact with that enlargement
of view superinluced by science start
ling thought strikes us. There is no
further need of our looking for the
cause of the calamities, crimes and
deliberations that have come upon the
community like swarm of unregener-
ate Jersey mosquitoes. The unexam-
pied hot weather is due to these perihel-
ions. The Narragansett and Stoning-
ton rushed into each other, not on ac-
count of the fog or the stupidity of
their officers but were hurled at one an
other by the perihelions. We need not
further expand this immense and over
whelming idea. 1t throws light on all
existing mysteries, and sets the puzzled
philosophers on their legs. AS theory
for courts, juries and counsel for the
defense, it is invaluable. Is a virtuous
citizen accused of theft, burglary or
murder? The lawyers will not require
to tax their already overdrawn store of
special pleas to shunt him clear of JUS
tice. They won't have to call it self
defense, or even emotional insanity.
Set it all down to the periheIion. Log
ic is logic" said DIR. Holmes, in ac-
counting for the spontaneous dissolu-
ton of the Deacon's '.One-H Shay"
