The composition Of buckwheat has
been examined by NJ. G.. Lechart.er.
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 s'rawot
& crop o! buckwheat mav 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 4
crop of wheat containing the same
quantity of grain.
cream to use with any kind Of
LAYER cake Is made from this recipe:
Take "A pound OF blanchcd almonds.

of thick, sou cream. two tablespoon
fnls OF corn starch scaided i'll a little
sweet milk. beat all together and

This is very r:ch and is suitable for the
incest kinds OF cake. For more com

made in ;h.S way: Take apint Of sweet

There is no better way Of restoring
soil han 10y growingand blowing under
clover. The difficulty Is in inducing
the clover 10 grow upon soils so poor
~ To- need this method o! improvement.
But when the soil = i'll fair condition,
if this prac.icr is begun and continued,
il will then keep it improving without
difficulty. Ii yOar soil Is good enough
to produce clover, there would be 40
better way to improve it than by seed
Ing il and blowing in the crop. But il
it is already poor. it is probable that
the attempt 20 grow a crop of oats and
/! get n good catch Of clover by the use Of
plaster alone might tail. This depends
on the condition of the soil, If which
YOU will To- the best Judge. If the soil
is too poor To do this, it would be bet
ter 10 SOW buckwheat in May and plow
it in in July and sow again, and then
seed with clover. and in August run
over the held with 4 mower, when the
buckwhcat is in blossom, and cut il
down, and leave 1t on the ground ~ a
protection and fertilizer for the clover.
The clover will be large enough To plow
in The next fall when in seed, and the
ground may be sown To rye or wheat,
or LETT for corn the next seaSon.-N.
