A MODEL GARDENER.

Bill Hedger was a gardener
Who earned his daily meat
By toiling zealously all day
His zeal was hard to beat.
He was man of tender parts,
And thoughtful for his years
Fen when he cut his onions down
His eyes would fill with tears.
He was so pitiful and kind
He'd dread to cut his lawn;
But though he'd nevershock his friends,
He'd often shock his corn.
A score of carrots oft he'd give
To feed widows kline;
Such gems of charity are rare
Full twenty carats fine,
His wretched horse could hardly creep,
Bill propped him while he grazed;
He said he'd have better steed
When his celery was raised.
He'd sometimes cauliflower to him
When he had done his work
He loved it stewed in buttermilk,
Or boiled with greens and pork.
But death at last mow'd William down.
And they planted him in loan,
And gave him for his epitph-
He found sweet pease at homer

The Boston AdrertiSer announced
that business of CATTLE raising in the
West is overdon. With beef selling
daily at our markets at prices ran
ging from II to % cents a pound
according to cut and vast refrigera-
tors being built on the transatlantic
streamers to carry carcasses to Eu-
rope, there does notappear to be any
great cause for alarm. The facts
may not be known in Boston but
cattle raising as business is one OF
the surest and most lucrative in the
entire list and the demand for young
cattle to stock new ranches WASH ev-
er so great as now.

Buckwheat Culture.

This is a grain well known to
most Northern farmers. II is said
to have been formerly called Beech
wheat, owing to its resemblance 10
the common beechnut Of the for
est.
1t grows quickly, even on light,
poor soils, but attaing perfection,
giving remunerative crops, only on
land quite rich in fertilizing proper
ties. Sandy soil with g dry subsoil
is best adapted to its culture, espe-
cially If it be an old pasture feldre-
Gently plowed.
At the North it is usually sown
about the first of July. and should
not vary ten days from the GATE
named. If sown earlier, the drv.
hot days of August and September
often blast the kernel when forming,
while If the seeding be neglected un-
I'll about the first of August, it is ex-
tremely liable to be injured by frosts
before reaching maturity.
Buckwheat is a crop for the care
less farmer as well as the smart and
enterprising one. The labor of pre-
pairing the land comes when the
hurry and hustle of " spring work
are past, only the growing corn de-
manding the husbandman's atten-
tion. The ground should be as care
fully plowed and narrowed as for
wheat, barley, or any similar crop.
BY far too many are careless in this
respect, often letting their cheapest
help plow and tit the ground for it,
saying to the laborer, You need not
be particularabOut the work, as it is
only for buckwheat.' 1t is this clasG
of farmers who have, to a certain
extent, brought the cultivation of
this crop into disrepute. Yet it is g
grain that will respond generously
to good cultivation, and upon soils
adapted to its culture it is very re-
munerative.
1t seems 10 be well adapted to
subduing new ground, or as crop
for fields filled with stumps, as it is
branching in its growth and COM
pletely shades the, ground, and as it
terminates readily, it may be sown
upon the loose soil about stumps,
roots and snags with almost Ger
tainty of growing, even if not har-
rowed in.
From two to four pecks is the
quantity of seed sown per acre. Two
varieties are grown, the black and
the gray The latter is usually con
sidered the best to yield, but will
not stand :he hot weather quite as
well as the former. BY means Of the
new patent process buckwheat flour
is produced as white as that made
from wheat. 1t is also asserted that
this process will remove that por.
ton of the -four that formerly SEEM
ed to poison the blood of many who
used it. There is, at any rate, one
thing certain, as now manufactured,
the flour makes improved griddle
cakes without the former decidedly
buck wheat flavor.
Many farmers will not sow buck
wheat because it shells so readily
and gets into the manure of the yard
and is thus scattered about the farm
lepreclatiHg the value of an other
wise good crop of wheat or barley,
Some dealers object to buying even
oats containing a mixture of this
grain, while other dealers prefer, if
possible, 10 have it thus mixed.
Unless intended for grinding or home
use crop of barley should never
succeed that of buckwheat, for the
nearly uniform size of the kernels
prevents their entire separation with
the tanning mill or anv other con-
.rivance.

So they both waited for the train

they left her in the care Of her grand

Several years ago, during q vol
canic eruption near Ibara, South
America, great quantities of steam
ing hot water and mud were thrown
out. In a few days a stencil pro-
ceeded from the spot that was over
powering, and threatened disease. A
visit was made to the place and the
ground found to be fairly covered
with little blind catfish called argos.
They came from an underground
river over $4,000 above the level Of
the sea, and evidently lived in warm
or quite hot water. At another To-
cality they were hurled out in such
arge quantities that an epidemic
fever was the result.

Mr.. Talmage sometimes gives out
bits of wisdom that are wholly de-
void of sensation and touch the right

some sound adyice to women. A.
mong other things he said : at is a
poor compliment to your sex that so
many men feel obliged in your pres

Men capable of elegant and elabora-

and to dole out sickening batteries.

and about your appearance that you

They say you are an angle. You

no one trample on your selfrespect.

man can build her happiness is the

safety of the earth were destroyed in

crumbling and falling, and the trees

-
The Convention of the Ohio DEM
ocracy held in Columbus last Thurs
day was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic gatherings Of the kind
ever held in the State, and did its work
most admirably. The ticket put in
nomination, and which will be found
at the head of our columns, is from
top to bottom, in its length and breadth
. most admirable one, composed of
men every way qualified for the posi-
tions for which they have been select
ed. 1t will be generally satisfactory to
the Democracy and liberal element of
the State, aud in the coming contest
the bitterness engendered blythe strife
for the privilege of occupying the
places Of honor on the ticket will be
forgotten and give place to an earnest,
determined efforts to achieve glorious
victory on the second Tuesday of Oc-
tober.
The platform adopted is built of good
sound timbers, and is clear, incisive
declaration Of the position of the Dem.
ocracy on the several questions which
are involved in the coming contest. II
will be found elsewhere in these col
umns, and we commend it to the care
full perusal and consideration of oul
readers.
The coming campaign promises tt
be an exciting and interesting one ant
every Democrat should buckle on hi
armor and do his full duty in achiev
ing the glorious triumph that await
us in October.
