The Intiastriaiist states that Mr.. j.
M. Van Nordstrand, of Kansas, who
narrowed and rolled his wheat in
spring, harvested 2ll bushels per acre,
while his neighbors' crops from similar
soil and seed, but without such extra
attention, yielded only at the rate OF
three to sixteen bushels. 4rs ...

remarks quoted from DIR. Dempsey. 1t
is a question of prime Importance,
greater to farmers and their families
than perhaps any other sanitary one.
Old houses around which the soil is
reeking with. slops of all kinds, the foul
air from which is sucked into the house
through the walls by the draft of the
warm building, are undoubtedly cause
of many of the mysterious visitations of
zymotic diseases to solitary and appar-
emily breezy and healthful, and even
cleanly-kept country homes. s.-M T.

The composition of buckwheat has
been examined by M. G. Lechartier.
He states that the proportion of mineral
matter in the straw increases with the
weight. The straw may indeed become
richer in phosphoric acid than the
grain, differing thus completely from
that OF the other cereals. The straw of
a crop of buckwheat may contain more
mineral matter than does the grain.
The sum of the principal fertilizers re-
moved from the soil by an entire crop
is much more considerable than for q
crop of wheat containing the same
quantity of grain. taaasa
Cream to use with any kind OF
layer cake is made from this recipe:
Take one pound of blanched almonds.
pounded to a paste, one coffee cup
of thick, sour cream, two tablespoon.
fnls of corn starch scalded in little
sweet milk, beat all together and
spread between the layers of the cake
flavor with little almond extract.
This is very rich and is suitable for the
incest kinds of cake. For more com.
mon use an inviting cream may be
made in this way: Take apint of sweet
milk, thicken it with half a cup OF corr
starch, add half a cup of sugar and boi
until the cream or custird is of the
consistency of starch. When almost
cool add one tablespoonful of lemon. OIL
vanilla and spread between the layers
of the cake.
There is no better way of restoring
soil than by growing and plowing under
clover. The difficulty is in inducing
the clover to grow upon soils so poor
as to need this method of improvement
But when the soil is in fair condition
if this practice is begun and continued,
it will then keep it improving without
difficulty. If your soil is good enough
to produce clover, there would be nj
better way to improve it than by seed
ing it and plowing in the crop. But i
it is already poor, it is probable tina
the attempt to grow a crop of oats ant
get good catch of clover by the use o
plaster alone might fail This depends
on the condition of the soil, of whicl
you will be the best judge. If the sol
is too poor to do this, it would be bet
ter to sow buckwheat in May and plov
it in in July and sow again, and thei
seed with clover, and in August rul
over the field with mower, when tn,
buckwheat is in blossom, and cut i
down, and leave it on the ground as
protection and fertilizer for the clover
The clover will be large enough to plov
in the next fall when in seed, and tn
ground may be sown to rye or wheat
or left for corn the next season.-N
