The Buckwheat Crop.

Buckwlfeat is the latest grain crop OF the
season and in the latitude of New York is
usually sown from the last of June to the
middle of July. 1t is frequently sown as
a filling crop, that is, on ground where
another crop has failed. 1t makes an ex-
cellent cleansing crop on foul or rough
land, especially on rich soil where 1t makes
a rank growth and smothers out all other
plants. Buckwheat is used to some ex-
tent MS q green manure to be turned under
for wheat or rye. The buckwheat plant is
A deep feeder and has the power Of obtain
ing the food elements when present only
in small quantities in the soil Light,
sandy soils, deficient in vegetation, can be
brought up to good state of cultivation
by first growing buckwheat as green ma
nure. followed 10y clover which is after
wards turned under. Though buckwheat
will grow on comparatively poor soil 1t
makes good use of light dressing Of barn
yard manure or some quick-acting feriliz
er. A hundred pounds OF Peruvian gnano
or an equal weight Of fish scrap will great
" raise the yield ola buckwheat crop on
poor soil and prove profitable investment
for the outlay.
The harvesting Of buckwheat is quite
different from that Of other grains. The
grain "shells" or drops from ths straw
very readily, and therefore must be gath
cred with special care. II is best to cut 1t
with cradle and leave it in the swath nm
til the next morning when it should be
rolled and set on end while it is moist with
the dew. After standing few days II is
ready to be tbreshed The straw has no
special value as fodder but should be used
as litter and an absorbent OF liquid ma
nure. The grain makes an excellent food
for poultry and when Its -four is in the form
Of cakes it is highly priced, especially in
cold weather. - american AgricuHm'ia.

A farm can be stocked with sheep chea-
per than with any other animals. Sheep
will come nearer 10 utilizing everything
which grows ON the farm. Less labor will
be required for getting farm and stock to.
gether. The returns will come in sooner
and oiteper than with any farm stock er-

shelter and fencing. and less labor in herd
ing when outside pasture is accessible and
preferred, and finally handsome income
on the investment can be had without the
sale Of the animals themselves.

Pneumatic Transmission Of Force.

A new system Of transmitting force to
a distance is about to be tried in Paris
1t consists in maintaining in pipe sys-
tenn b. means of engines at a central STA
ton a certain degree of vacuum fifty
seven centimeters of mercury. A branch
pipe enters the house of each subscriber.
and is connected with raretied air motor
devised by NJ. Titin. The sewers in ;!le
Boulevard Voltaire and the Avenue Par
mentler are utilized for the pipes, a dis
tance of six hundred meters. The eanali-
zation is calculated for development of
one kilometer distance from the central
station, and the losses by friction in the
pipes donot exceed three per cent. The
pipes are mainly iron. but those entering
the houses are lead. The Tatin motor
possesses the necessary qualities of great
simplicity and easy replacement ofpieces.
1t has a vertical oscillating cylinder.
Each motor is arranged to work at an
average speed; the work for all is thus
sensibly constant. whence results very
easy method of charging subscribers for
their consumption Of power.-St. James
