When it gets well up 1t should be plow-

this being the best crop to enrich the
land with one of the most important
materials for plant growth; both the

In nitrogen, and as it draws all OF this
indirectly from the air, whatever is
plowed in Is SO much gained to the
soil. Some claim that a good crop
of clover tops and roots will furnish
to the soil az much nitrogen as can be
purchased for one hundred dollars.
II this is really true, farmers had better
raise clover to pillow in than to pay
eighteen cents q pound for nitrogen
The COW pea is said to be good crop
to grow to pillow under, but as we have
had no experience we can not speak OF
it from our own knowledge. Formerly
buckwheat was used to pillow in green
but this has gone out of use as rule.
Indian corn furnishes a large amount

Buck wheat can BE- made profitable
crop, If proper care is given to it. This
grain il worth at least seventy-five
cts. bushel for feeding II it Is properly
fed. 1t is best ground with corn, as
fine as possible, and may be fed with
cut hay or straw moistened with
water. The seed may be sown early
in July. We have found thick seeding
the best. At least one bushel per acre
should be used. 1t pays to prepare
the ground as well for this crop as for
any other, bnt it is especially useful
for the purpose of breaking up an
old meadow, and preparing it for re-
seeding. Then the sod will be we'll
rotted, and the soil mellowed and
made ready for fall grain crop, II
this is desired, to be followed by the
grass seed the next summer. No other
crop, except peas, so well mellows the
ground as buckwheat, and Is precise
ly the effect required in reseeding land.
Besides this useful purpose, buck
wheat is valuable for its grain. It will
easily produce thirty or forty bushels
per acre II well managed, and worth

For Farmers.

The New England Farmer advocates
blowing and working the soil intended
for corn in the fall, as preventive OF
the ravages of the out-~orm. 1t says
grass sod turned over in the spring
and planted to corn or other crops
will afford just the conditions to give
the planter a great amount of trouble
with the cut-worin. The natural sup
ply of food being cut of they are fore
ed to attack the cultivated plant
Flowing in the fall distnrbs the worms
and exposes them to the frost which
kills many, while If the blowing is well
done. and the wheel harrow be used a
few times in fall or spring, before the
crop is planted, the vegetation will be
so thoroughly killed that the worms
will be starved out, or forced to leave
for greener fields. We have rarely been
annoyed when this course has been fol-
lowed. If few are found at the edge
of the field, they are hunted out and
destroyed as soon as their presence is
known.

EVILS OF BORROWING.

One of the vices of farmers is chron-
ic borrowing. In every neighborhood
are those who depend on others for a
large number of the tools and imple-
ments that They nso, TO say nothing of
grain, bags, seeds, ETC.. many times
never returned. The good book says
"The borrower is servant to the lend
err" but in this case the lender If he be
of an accommodating spirit, is the ser
want When tools are needed for use,
he will find that another has them,
and If returned are broken and out of
repair. In time they are worn out and
must be Ieplaced at the expense of the
owner. In general it would be bless
ing to this class of borrowers il lend
ing was refused them. As long as they
can borrow they never buy or provide
themselves with these necessary arti-
cles, and the habit induces kind of
shiftlessness which should not be en-
couraged. Diet. Post.
