The american Farmer makes the
suggestion that reliable barometer is
a very convenient thing for farmer to
have about the house. He can begin or
delay work as the barometer indicates
fair or foul weather. He can trans
plant his Strawberries, ETC., when the
barometer indicates rain, although he
can detect no sign of rain in the heav-
ems, and make preparations to harvest
his crops when the barometer promises
fair weather, even if it is raining at the
time. ...

Culture of Buckwheat.

This is grain well known to most
Northern farmers. 1t is said to have
been formerly called Beecnwheat, owing
to its resemblance to the common
beechnut of the forest.
1t grows quickly even on light, poor
soils, but attains perfection, giving re-
munerative crops, only on land quite
rich in fertilizing properties. Sandy
soil with dry subsoil is best adapted
to its culture, especially if it be an old
pasture field recently plowed.
At the North it is usually sown about
the first of July, and should not vary
ten days from the date named. If Sc wn
earlier, the dry, hot days of August and
September often blast the kernel when
forming; while if the seeding be neg
lected until about the first of August, it
is extremely liable to be injured by
frosts before reaching maturity.
Buckwheat is q crop for the careless
farmer as well as the smart and enter
prising one The labor of preparirg
the land comes when the hurry ard
hustle of spring work" are past, onl Y
the growing corn demanding the huS-
bandman's attention. The grounl
should be as carefully plowed AMI
narrowed as for wheat, barley, or any
similar crop. BY far too many are care
less in this respect, often letting their
cheapest help pillow and fit the ground
for it, saying to the laborer: You need
not be particular about the work, as il
is only for buckwheat. " 1t is this
class of farmers who have, to q certain
extent, brought tho cultivation of this
crop into disrepute. Yet it is grain
that will respond generously to good
cultivation, and upon soils adapted to
its culture it is very remunerative.
1t seems to be well adapted TO subdu-
ing new ground, or as a crop for fields
filled with stumps, as it is branching in
its growth, and completely shades the
ground; and as it terminates readily, it
may be sown upon the loose soil about
stumps, roots and snags with almost
certainty of growing, even if not har-
rowed in.
From two to four pecks is the guam
tity of seed sown per acre. Two vari-
cites are grown, the black and the gray.
The latter is usually considered the best
TO yield, but will not stand the hot
weather quite as well as the former. BY
means of the new patent process buck
wheat -four is produced as white as that
made from wheat. 1t is also asserted
that this process will remove that por-
ton of the flour that formerly seemed
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 with
out the former decidedly buckwheat
flavor. .r..,
Many farmers will not sow buckwheat
because it shells so readily and gets into
the manure of the yard, and is thus
scattered about the farm, depreciating
the value of an otherwise good crop of
wheat or barley. Some dealers OBJ
ject to buying even oats containing a
mixture of this grain, while other deal
ers prefer if possible to have it thus
mixed. Unless intended for grinding
or homo use a crop of barley should
never succeed that of buckwheat. foi

err was favorable the attendance full, and the
spirit of the meeting good The annual SER
mon WAS preached by Rev. f. E. Tower of
Bratteboro from Psalm $50: wilt thou
not revive us again ?" The matter and spirit
of the sermon were excellent. We were IA
vored with the presence of our Home and
Foreign Mission Secretaries, DIR. A. p. Ma.
son, and DR.. W. S. Mckenzie, each of whom
preached missionary sermons. Rev. n. N.
Gazer, formerly pastor of the Baptist church
in Montpelier, and now pastor in South Alb
ngton Mass, was also present and preached
an excellent sermon at the close. Mr.. Gla-
zier is son of the West Wardsboro church,
AS was the ainented DR.. Miles j. Knowlton,
missionary to China. The fact that God rails
es up such men and workers in our rural
churches illustrates the importance of main
tanning such churches.
The Woman's Mission circles connected
with the churches of the association, and
which have increased in numbers and interest
during the year, held meeting during one
of the sessions of the association, which was
presided over by Mrs. S. Hopkinson, associa-
tional soci etary. In some of the churches
children are being formed into bands to
save and give their mites for missions,
Communications were received from each
of the churches in the association. During
the year material improvement has been
made in some churches by the repairing OF
church edihces and in the payment of church
debts West Brattleboro has purchased new
parsonage, Jamaica has greatly improved its
house of worship, Putney is preparing to
build and Readsboro is thinking about doing
something in this line. The churches with
out pastors at the time of the meeting of the
association were West Dummerston, Reads.
boro, aud Jamaica, and they would gladly Sc
cure pastors. In quite a number of the
churches there has been a very commendable
advance in the amount contributed to Christ
ian beneyoenco, aud growth in grace on the
part of many Christians and several OF the
churches report baptisms, which in all num-
Der SO. There is some gain in the member
ship of the association. The churches al
epresented in the letters seem hopeful and
aggressive in spirit. The churches in Putney
aud Jamaica have enjoyed special outpour

The association adjourned to meet nexI
year with the church in Jamaica. CLERK.
