The Buckwheat Crop.
American Arriculturlst fo< July.

American AEriculturst fo< July.
Buckwheat is the latest grain crop
Of the season, and in the latitude Of
New York is usually s0wn from the
last of June to the middle Of July.
1t is frequently sown as a filling
crop, that is, on ground where
ONE other crop has failed. 1t makes
an excellent cleansing crop on the fOal
or rough land, especially upon rich
soil where it makes a rank growth and
smotherS out all other plants. Buck
wheat IS used to sOmo extent as a green
manure to be turned under for wheat
or rye. The buckwheat plant is a
deep feeder, and has the power of
obtaining the food elements when
present only in small quantities in the
soil. Light sandy soils, deficient in
vegetable matter, can be brought up to
a good state of cultivation by first
growing buckwheat as green
manure crop, followed by clover which
is afterwards turned under. Though
buckwheat will grow Cn comparatively
poor soil, it makes good use OF light
dressing of barn yard manure or some
quick acting fertilizer A hundred
pounds of Peruvian guano or an equal
weight of fish scrap will greatly raise
the yield of buckwheat crop on a
poor soil, and prove profitable in
vestment for the outlay.
The harvesting of buakwheat is quite
different from that Of other grains
The grain "shel" or drops from the
straw very readily, and therefore must
be gathered with special care. 1t is
best to cut it with cradle and leave
it in the swarth until the next morning,
when it should be rolled and set OH end
while it is moist with the dew. After
standing for few days it is ready to
be threshed. The straw has no special
value as fodder. but should be used as
a litter and absorbent of liquid manure,
The grain makes an excellent food or
poultry, and when its flour is in the
form of cakes, it is highly priced
especially in cold weather.

make the employers unite against the
workmen and produce conflict be-
tween labor and capital, whereas there
should be the greatest harmony be.
tween the two. Nor can the blame
be all attached to the laborer. They
could often avert strikes by being
frank with the workmen, explaining
the state of trade. giving them fair
statement of profits, and when times
are hard and workmen dissatisfied and
complaining, an equitable division of
profits, or an offer of the same, has the
desired effect. In England strikes have
often been averted by capital uniting
with labor, and when clamor occurs
each agree in appointing umpires to
regulate prices of labor based upon the
percentage of profits made by the en-
ployers.
The conclusion is that arbitration
should always be resorteG to to settle
difficulties which may arise between
laborer and employer.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
A Canadian Farmer whose Life was
Biighted by IlI-PIaeed Love.

TORONTO, November 25.-Among the
strange and almost incredible stories brought
about by the whirlgig OF time, or Whatever
other unseen forces rule the destiuies of this
planet, the following is one of the most Pc
culiar in the romance OF history:
About eighteen years ago there lived in
the Scotch block, nine miles from Hamilton,
= farmer named ANDREW Porteous. His wife
left him and ran off with another man,
having first stripped his house of all effects
of value. She levanted with a Young man
who was engaged to one Of the handsomest
girls in the township of Ancaster. A we'll
TODD farmer named Mofat allowed his
daughter Mary to go and keep house for
Porteous, with the result that in the course
OF time the young housekeeper bore daugh-
ter TO Porteous. Porteous had to leave the
township in consequences and went away to
California. Nothing was heard of
him for years. AT last he heard that
his wife was dead, and returned to
Canada, intending TO make Mary Moffat
his wife, and atone for the wrong he had
done her. He came as far az Hamilton
during the Great Central Fair, went into
Davy Whites hotel on John street, met an
old neighbor, and learned from him that the
mother of his child was married and living
in Caledonia. He felt so bad at the news
that he never went TO zee them, but packed
up and left at once again for the States.
The other day he returned to Canada sec
ond time, bound to see his child if not her
mother. He repaired to the Scotch block,
got an old neighbor to tell him Of the where
abouts of Mary Mofati and to accompany
him thereto. They drove TO Caledonia and
up 10 the house Of Mary Moffat's husband
The husband was away and she was visiting
a neighbor. The girl was there doing the
homework. She was told two men wished
to see her. She would not receive them till
she had changed her attire. In few min
utes she was introduced 10 her father, who
put $4,000 in bills in her hand, and after a
few minutes conversation left, telling her he
sef and would be back soon again. The girl
indeed had strange tale 10 tell her mother
vben tn latter returned. Miss Porteous,
as The young woman: ought now to be called,
is seventeen years of age ana VII known IN
Caledonia and in the Scotch block.

AHunnn man.ter.

M.Paul Bert has lately sent the editor Of
La Nature, from Geneva, two photographs OF
a haman monster exhibited there, living
and aged five years, having been born at
Turn in 1877. 1t has two heads, four arms
and two chests, but one abdomen and pelEis,
and two legs; that is, it is double above the
middle of the body. The fusion of the two
bodies begins at the sixth rib. From due
examination and from what has been OBJ
served in previous monsters of the kind
they were named Xiphodyme by Isidore-
Geofroy st. Hilaire) it may be affirmed tina
there are four lungs, two>hearts and two
stom achs; the small Intestine is double at its
commencement, but 10 greater part single.
There are really two Individuals. The right
leg obeys only the right individual, who
alone feels pinching of it; and similarly with
the left. The sensibility OF each half of the
body is in exclusive rapport with the head OF
the same side. The two individuals we're
baptized doubly, under the names Of
Jean and Jacques. They are equal
ly developed from physical Points of
view Except slight club-foot on Jacqaes's
leg), and intellectually they are much alike.
Their Intelligence is normal; they reply to
questions of visitors in French, Italian and
German. They seem gentle and amiable,
also lively, often playing together while
living on cushions, or on the knees of Their
repuied father. 1t is raid they have never
been i'll. 1t has been shown, in the case OF
other double monsters, that one may have
an infiamm atory fever while the other con-
tinued well; but the like would not occur
with infectious disease or poisoning. Sew
erzl cases of these Xiphodyme monsters have
been recorded in history, but very few have

A STRANGE STORY,

Lost Sister are Conspicuous.

NORWICH, CONN.,, November ga case
of peculiar and romantic nature occupied
the Superior Court on "Wednesday. Lucy
A. Field and A. S. Beebe, the plaintiff and
defendant, are children of the late Stephen
Beebe, wealthy farmer OF E lst Great PI ain,
who died in 1865, leaving among other prop
erty valuable homestead. The plaintiff,
who Is spare, bright-eyed, nervous-sppear-
ing woman, sixty -four years of age, testifes
to having had an eventful career. She
started in life as a Norwich dressm ksr, and
an old inhabitant still remembers her as
one of the long-ago bellies Of the city. Later
she went to Mobile, Ala, then she went 10
New Orleans, then returned home, where, to
use the expression of her brother in the letter
produced in evidence. she sraised HI and
broke up the family" At any rate, she was
prosecuted Tor burning the barn of her
brother-in-law, DIR. Erastus NJ. Lefiugwell,
in Bozrah, the result being disagreement of
the jury. She then left the State, leaving
her father to pay her bond of $1,000 which
she forfeited BY her fight. This was in the
fall OF 1858. Alter living in various States,
leading an adventurous life, having married
and lost her husband, the story brings her,

were soon at work for her, and the result
was that on April 26, 1880, at 10 O'Clock at
