Mass. when he was last week at For

and decanting on the change between
this moon-lit scene and hot and busy
city life: "Is it it possible" said some
body with keen recollection of his ruling
characteristic, that man is ever any,

tor overhearing the remark, sometimes.

ly my purchase proved to be deter
mined cribber. The seller was ap-
parently astonished. Nothing of the
kind ever occurred while he owned the
horse. An inspection of the stable
where the horse had been showed
us traces of chewed wood work. Ny
brother-in-law, accustomed to horses all
his life, was sorely puzzled. He was con-
vinced there was some game; and game,
there was. Convinced that had been
'sold,' I retaliated by finding out that
the seller used paste made Of red pep
per and brown soap, lightly applied
wherever and whenever he discovered
marks of teeth in the stall, the paste
being masked by dust scattered on top.
Thus it was, the horse thinking my
woodwork was like his late stable, let
the timbers alone at first. I tried the
remedy. The horse has not attempted
to crib for four months, and stranger
would never imagine that q hundred
little spots within reach of his head have
bits of the paste. The horse knows it,
however, and let's my stall alone.'

JEFF Davis Denial.

jeff Davis has again appeared in print
to deny a story about General William
Raymond Lee of Boston carrying in his
Pocketbook a little strip of paper bear
ing the word "death," as drawn by him
when prisoner of war in Richmo nd
Va: Davis says, "During the war per-
slstent effort was made to misrepresent
our cause and its defenders by the use
Of inappropriate terms. Our privateers
were called 'privates,' our cruisers were
called 'privateers,' and Admiral Semmes,
though regularly commissioned, was
sometimes called "a pirate by northern
officials and writer's. I find this word
even now, when time and reflection
should have corrected the misnomer, ia
used in the paragraph. I know nothing
Of the person referred to, but the story
of ballot having been drawn with a
premature sentence of death is refuted
by the statement of the course pursued
by the Confederate government on the
question Of retaliation, in the event of
the threat to execute some of our priva-
teersmen who had been captured, when
cruising with letters Of marque, in

American Agricultureist
Buckwheat is the latest grain crop of

York is usually sown from the last of
June to the middle of July. 1t is fire.
quently sown rs a filing crop, that is, on
ground where some other crop has fail
ed. 1t makes an excellent cleansing
crop OH foul or rough land, especially
upon rich soil, where it makes rank
growth and smothcrs out all other
plants. Buckwheat is used to some ex-
tent as green manure to be turned un-
der for wheat or rye. The buckwheat
plant is deep feeder, and has the pow
er OF obtaining g the food elements when
present only in small quantities in the
soil. Light sandy soils: deficient in
vegetable matter, can be brought up to
good state Of cultivation by first growing
Duck"heat as green manure crop,
followed by clover, which is afterward

acting fertilizer. A hundred pounds of
feruvlan guano or an equal weight of

prove a profitable investment for the
outlay: The harvesting of buckwheat is
quite different from that of other grains.

straw very readily, and therefore must
be gathered with special care. 1t is
best to cut it with cradle and leave it

when it should be rolled and set on end
while it is moist with the dew. After
standing for few days it is ready to be
threshed. The straw has no special val
ue as fodder, but should be used as a
litter and absorbent of liquid manure.
The grain makes an excellent food for
poultry, and when it's flour is in the
form of cakes it is highly priced, espec-

HELPS for Farmers.

There is no doubt whatever that our
western farmers are adopting agriculture
al improvements, both Of methods and
implements, with commendable zeal.
Twenty years ago commercial fertilizers
cwre rarely thought of, and patent sulky
plows, mowers, reapers, etc., were gen.
orally eschewed. But labor saving has
become az expedient with farmers as
with manufacturers, not that competition
has so rapidly increased with the one
class as with the other-for farm pro-
ducts maintain value the better-but be-
cause farming is more scientifically and
Systematically pursued than formerly.
and farmers, as a guild, demand more
leisure for social and intellectual enjoy
ment. The day has passed, we trust, if
it ever existed, when the American
farmer, like the old Saxon churl or the
Russian serf of the present time, will re-
main content with mere existence, with
out ambition to adorn his profession Or
to benefit himself or his race.
