BuckWheat.

Buckwheat is valuable crop which
of late years has been almost wholly
neglected by our farmers. A new
variety from Japan is gaining favor
with all who try it, The grain is
larger than the American variety, and
the Japan buckwheat is much more
productive. Any farmer who wishes
to try this variety, by applying to this
Office will be informed where seed can
be bought. A peck will seed half an
acre. On the value of the buckwheat
crop. The Country Gentleman has the
follwing from buck wheat raiser Of
New York.
The buckwheat crop is destined to
take the lead in a few years in the
Middle and Eastern States as the best
paying crop on the farm. 1t is one
quickly grown, making it of vast worth
in smothering weeds, &c, natural to
unimproved land, also the work Of put
ting in the crop comes at time when
most farmers have leisure, and if sown
early it will be fit for the cradle before
the corn ripens, and may be left in the
field until nearly all other fall work is
done,
Years agoit was crop which depend
ed largely on home consumption, but
of late the cities are taking large
share, and the mighty West with its
fast increasing population is eager to
take our surplus in payment for those
products which the eastern farmer can
buy cheaper than he can raise. The
deep soils of the West are not good for
buckwheat, but the thin soil or hardpan
lands of the Middle and Eastern States,
if we'll cultivated, usually produce ex-
cellent crops.
There is only one drawback to the
culture of this crop, frosts excepted.
The stubble is mostly sown to oats. and
the buckwheat that grows and ripens
with the crop-although it makes heav-
Ter feed, worth more on the farm than
clear oats-will not sell readily in the
market, and never at full price. This
may be averted by sowing from 4 to 6
pecks Of rye per acre, at the time the
buckwheat is sown. The rye will
spread over the ground, and instead Of
being ueterment to the buckwheat,
will keep the ground cool at the time
the crop is maturing, and is beneficial
by usually securing better fill. As
the difference in weight of the grain is
but little, they could be mixed and
sown at the same time. IF the rye
made too staut growth it might be
partially fed off after the buckwheat
was harvested. BY this none one can
gneraelly get good crop of rye, at
cost only of seed and harvesting. Some
of the best crops / have ever know
were raised in this way.

Experiment Stations.

Prof. Vile thinks experiments with
silos and crops better than an analysis.
He says ask the plants what food it
wants. Put different kinds of food in
its reach and see which it feeds upon
eagerly. That will show what materials
we're deficient in the sol and points to
the remedy,
One thing is certain that, farmers
should study soils, fertil zers and crops.
and nature also, intensely. Farmers
should be as learned in their line OF
business as lawyers and physicians and
other professional men. They need a
great deal more learning than mer-
chant needs in buying and selling
merchandise. Farmers ought to be
among the most enlightened classes OF
society. College farming, agricultural
chemists and experiment stations are
now leading the modern agricultural
reform.

Packing Alfalfa with Straw.

Some farmers in parts of the country
where Alfalfa is raised, are packing in
their mows or stacks layer of straw
and layer of the green Alfalfa and the
result is the green stuff is cured com
pletely and the straw so we'll filled with
the aroma and moisture from the green
alfalfa, that stock eat all up greedily.
We presume that green grass-clover
and timothy@would keep in the same
way and prove an excellent feed, much
more paletable and nutritious than hay
curee in the ordinary way. This plan
of hauling the grass to the barn as
soon as cut and moving it away between
layers of straw, would avoid the loss by
rain and due, which is not less than
twenty five per cent. But the silo is
both cheaper and better than either OF

for stock.

Hay Making and care of Meadows

Hay Making and care of Meadows.
In making hay, farmers are apt to
become too much hurried with draw
ing in, so that they do not give the
hay time enough to cure and sweat;
hence it becomes mowburnt, musty
and discolored. 1t has been my oh
servation that the best way to harvest
hay is to cut early, so as to secure a
good green color. Let the hay lie and
have plenty time to dry; use the
tedder, and then rake and cock it.
Loading from the windrow is bad
practice. The hay may apper dry
after the hot rays of the sun have
poured upon it for five or six hours,
but it is SO only on the outside. 1t
should be cooked up and have time to
sweat before it is put in larger masses,
The markets demand hay of good
color, and it pays well to use extra
efforts to secure such. Hay that is
cut early will bring two dollars per
ton more than that cut later and allow.
ed to become Jellowish.
Though hay-making is important.
the care of the meadow is equally if
not more so. 1t is best to seed with
fall crops, at the time of sowing or in
the ensuing spring. Do not pasture
much, and if the meadow is seeded to
timothy, don't pasture at all, or the
meadow will soon "run out" Pastur-
ing will cause June grass to start, and
there will soon be no timothy. know
of meadows ten to twelve years old
that yielded from one-and-a-ha!f TO
two tons per acre last year. They
were never pasturcd, last spring were
narrowed, and where thin, new seed
was sown. Every two or three years
a quantity of phosphate was sown, at
the rate of few dollars worth per
acre. This enriches the land and gives
a good growth of grass. If the fall is
wet there will be quite growth after
cutting. In spring, where this autumn
growth dried It is burnt over. This
warns the ground and gets rid of the
old dead grass, which would otherwise
be raked up and spoil the sale Of the
hay.-American Agriculturist for

8.93 pounds of pure butter fat, and
when thirty pounds Of ensilage was

More than thirty years ago, when |

Joseph Carpenter, a Quaker farmer in

scene of animal life which touched

temperamentan and exceedingly nimble in
her motions. 1t was a pretty sight to
see her gambOling with her kittens, or

were tapping milk from the same
little trough, she would keep one eve
on the lookout to see what he was

hold, indeed. that all mineral waters
begin TO lose their virtues as soon as
they leave the spring. This is an ex-

them are effective in proportion to
their freshness. The best importing

Keeping Tomatoes for Winter
1t is not generally known that late
tomatoes may be kept long after the
frOsts have destroyed the vines and
the ripe fruit has disappeared from
market. This is done by picking the
green tomatoes as late as possible and
packing them in dry sand, putting
them away where they will not freeze.
A few days before wanted take out a
sayer from the sand and place them in
> sunny window or in a warm room
when they will ripen and be just as
oice as though fresh from the vines.
