It has been several times claimed this

tried the plow that crop Of buckwheet
will clear out the cut worms. The crop
is handled as follows:
Sow buckwheat about the 1st OF May,
and when 1t is well In bloom put agood

ened to the beam, and tie the other end
to the off horse whifletree and plow the
whole crop nicely under; then roll ths
ground and occasionally harrow, so as TO
Keep the surface in fine condition until
about the 10th of July (for Jersey; then
put on the cultivator and put in as good
condition as the plow can possibly make
it. Now sow one and . halt or two BUSH
els Of rye; next one bushel Of buckwheat,

Of operation viii, it Is claimed, clear the

The Season for Transplanting Trees In
Various Sections Of the Country-Direc-
tions for Moving Large Trees Without
Checking Their Growth. e.
The time of year for transplanting trees
varies in different sections and under dif-
fering circumstances. The season for do
ing this work is less important, than do
ing it in the best manner, and 1t much
earth goes with the roots, any time when
the trees are dormant or not In state OF
rapid growth, will answer, providing, OF
course, the soil is in condition and circum.
stances generally are favorable. The most
trees are probably transplanted in the
spring, though there are numerous adVo-
Gates for fall planting. Pc.

Moving Strawberry Beds.

The practice Of moving down straw
berry patches Is recommended by Ameri-
can Cultivator only in cases where tho
vines are overgrown with weeds. The
object is to give the weeds setback,
with the hope that little care will give
the Strawberries the advantage in the
race for life. It is of doubtful utility at
best to try so harsh a remedy. We tried
it once, but at the same time took the
precaution to dig up some Of the best
plants and set them in place by them
selves where they could be kept free
from weeds. These were not cut back,
and from these we got all our berries the
subsequent season.

have their lifetime greatly lengthened by
1t, but this can hardly be advised for
buildings where fires are kept, as its use
would add somewhat to the danger from
fire. This objection. however, would not
apply to barns and many other outbuild-
ings. Besides these there are many other
things, such as unpainted posts and gates,
where it can be used to great advantage,
and the season Is now coming on when
they will most need protection from an
excess Of moisture. Many unpainted
farm implements can also be benefited by
it, but colors should not be put into 1t,
for it does not dry and harden well as
paint.

Trees two or three inches in diameter
may be moved with comparative ease and
little degree of loss, but when these have
gained a diameter Of half a foot or more
the labor and difficulty are greatly in
creased. . :....
Country Gentleman, in reply to recent
query, "How to move swamp naples OF
considerable size to lawn, without
checking the growth" ETC., replies by
giving the following illustrated direc-
tions:
There are two modes of moving large
trees. Fig. shows the way in which 1t
ia done, by lifting the tree from the
ground in an erect position, drawing 1t on
wheels to its place of destination, and
dropping into the hole previously made
for it. ..- b;
The tree is first loosened by digging,
then lifted with the lever, the trunk
being wound with carpet or sacking or
with straw, to prevent bruising by the
chain which raises it to the hinder wheels
Of common farm wagon, run up to the
tree from behind. Chains attached to the
axle then enable the horse Tor horses)
hitched to the whifnetree to draw It,
This mode applies well to the removal OF
evergreens as we'll as to deciduous trees,
the branches Of which need not be dis
turbed on account Of the erect position.
In either case, the tops should, however,
be made lighter by cutting in the branches
so as to present an even, natural top.
