DECLINE OF BucKWHEAr.
A Crop once Large In This Country,
But Steadily Decreasing.

What is the matter with buckwheatl
Cakes made Of IL ana eaten warm arc
regarded as very nutritious and are
still a favoritc article of food with
many thousands, but FOR all that the
cultivation of the grain is steadily de-
clining. II must bc that great many
have stopped eating buckwhoat cakes,
for there is certainly great deal less
buckwheat TO bS eaten than IN former
days
Thirty five years ago the farmers OF
our country sowed. yearly. over 1,00O,-
600 acres in buckwhoat. Since then
the crop has sometimes been larger.
sometimes smaller. but, on the whole.
the acreage and yield have been al
most steadily decreasing. In 1898 the
acreage was 01S,3 ,332. only little more
than half that of thrty-1ve years ago.
aud the yield was only ll,700,0o0
bushels, which was just about one
half the yield at the close OF the Civil
War.
No explanation Of this great decline
In buckwhcat raising has been made.
IL is probable however. that the unre-
liability of the crop. which Is some
times large aud sometimes small.
without any apparent reason for the
variation. has discouraged great
many farmers. Another reason for
the decline may be tho larger uso
within the past few years OF cereal
preparations. especially wheat. all OF
which come under the general head
OF hyglcnlc foods. These preparations
have probably won many persons
from their allegiance 10 buckwheat

BROKEN BRIG A BRACS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multtudes who use this standard arti
Gle know that IL Is many hundred per cent
better than any other cement, for which sim.
not know why. The simple reason - that
Mr.. Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us
that one OF the elements OF his cement costs
S315 "A pound, and another costs s265 gallon
while a large share of the sO-called cements
and liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than siXteen-cent glue, dissolved in
water or CitriC acid, and In some cases,
altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement rctails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents "A bottle, and when "A dealer
tries 10 sell substitute you can depend
upon Il that his only object Is 10 make "A
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is a. much
as any dealer ought TO make on any
cement. And this Is doubly'true in view OF
the fact that each dealer gets his share Of
the beneht Of Mr.. Majors advertising, which
amounts TO over 5000 month, thrOughOu

An Electrical Tree.

A German authority has recently
announced the discovery OF n tree In
the forests CT Central India which has
most curious characteristics. Tho
leaves OF the tree are OF a highly sem
sltlye nature. and so full OF electrici-
~ that whoever touches one OF them
receives an electric shock. 1t has a
very singular effect upon a magnetic
needle. and will influence IL at a dis
tance Of even 40 feet. The electrical
strength OF the tree varies according

at midday and weakest at midnight.
In wet weather It's powers disappear
altogether. Birds never approach the
