Buckwheat prefers I moist, co6lselk
mate and natures 40 eight TO- ten
weeks and IS thus well adopted 70 high
attitudes and short seasons. Il grows
on many different kinds of soil and
succeeds fairly vel on soils too poor
for other crops, but the largest yields
are obtained on fertile, web drained,
sandy loans. The crop is not specially
adapted to heavy clays or wet lands,
and OH very rich soils It lodges reads
lily and when once lodged does not
rise again. Heavy applications OF
barnyarrl manure or of heterogeneous fer
tiIizers are seldom profitable. as they
increase the tendency to lodge, but the
use OF lime and phosphorjc acid has
been found very beneficial. In expert,
ments conducted by the West Virginia
experiment station a few years ago
the use Of 400 pounds Of acid phos-
phate per acre apparently almost dou-
bled the yield during two seasons,
while the third season the increase In
yield was small when this substance
was used in excess OF 15d pounds per
mere. In this same series Of expert
ments plat having received thirty
bushels OF stone lime per acre In 1900
Welded 32.1 bushels Of buckwheat per
acre in 1901 as compared with 22.I
bushels on the check plat.
A good preparation Of the seed bed
aids very materially in securing prof
liable yields. Early plowing, to allow
the ground to settle before the seed is
nut in, is recommended. Three pecks
Of seed per acre are sufficient on good
soil, but on land Of low fertility from
four to Ave pecks are used. The seed
is sown With the ordinary grain drill
or broadcasted and covered with the
harrow. In southern localities buck
wheat Is sown from May to September,
while In the north the seeding period Is
much shorter, extending from June Is
to about July TO- Hot weather aud
frost are both injurious to the crop
while the grain is forming, and hence
1t is desirable to SOW as late as posi-
BILE, provided sufficient time is allowed
for the grain to mature before frosts
occur The plant blossoms for three
weeks or more, and the kernels rpen
unevenly. Harvesting is begun soon
after the first seeds are ripe, but at
this time the same plant often contains
mature and immature grain and bios.

In Saloon
With a Man
WOMAN WAS SLAPPED BY KEEL
LY WHEN HE HEARD
OF 1T.

PARKERsBURG, July Mad be-
cause she had entered a saloon and
taken a drink with another man, N.
W. Kelly, a well known man about
town, was OIL the verge of chastistng
Mrs. Ollie Mitchell when Patrolman
Schwartz interfered and placed both
under arrest. They were taken imme'
diately before Judge Leonard and each
was fined $3.50. Unable to settle they
we're sentenced to five days in jail.
The trouble occurred at Fourth and
Juliana streets at about I O'Clock Sat
urday night. Kelly met the woman
and told her that he had heard that
she was in a saloon with his rival. She
admitted and Kelly started to give
her pummeing. He mad grabbed
her by the hair and slapped her in
the face when the attention of the
patrolman was attracted. When he
arrived the woman had broken away
from Kelly and mad handed him a few
blows in the face.
The couple told just what had hap
pened and it was not denied that KEEL
ly was angry because of the woman's
Irritation with another man. When
Judge Leonard fined Kelly he tod
him he would certainly be fined more
the next time he came up on similar
charge. Kelly replied that he did
not know what the judge would have
to do with it, as he would so out of
office to-day.
Mrs. Mitchell's husband deserted
her some time ago. She has one
child.

THE BEST PAYING OCCUPATION
FREE SCHOLARSHIPS AT PHIL
ApELPHlA SCHOOL.

Nursing the, sick is perhaps the
most attractive field for the ambitious
woman who would win success and

occupation. It gives skill to the hand
and grace to the heart. 1t is the best

field of opportunity. The call for
nurses is worldwide call. 1t is the
one calling which is not overcrowded-

young women have the natural graces
of the skilled nurse, but have never
had chance to cultivate them, and
$50 have been prevented from improv-

the race. But new day has dawned.
Large hearted ,phllanthropists have
opened wide the door of opportunity
at the Philadelphia school for Nurses,
2219 Chestnut street, Philadelphia Pa
"A two years free course has been es-
tablishei at this institution, wherein
the student is provided with room,
board, laundry, nurse uniforms, and
all the refnements of good home
with suitable training, instruction and
actual nursing in the homes Of the
poor and among people of moderate
income, and at the end of the course
the students fare home 1t paid.
The term can be shortened to eigh-
teen months bya course of six months
reading and study at home-a course
which is very valuable in itsel. Hun
dreds of young women, scattered all
over the country. are started In the
work, becoming not only self.support-
ing, but a boon to their respective
neighborhoods.
A short course is also provided for
the woman who wishes to quickly pre-
pare for self.support and a substanti Il

rhi. Excellent Fodder Promises Well
In New Ensli !.

In New Enst J.
For a few years this excellent tod-
der plant has been given trial in
different parts of New England. In
Maine 1t promises well, while in north
ern Vermont 1t is considered Of much
value for fodder purposes.
This is a large growing variety Of
millet with solid stalk like corn,
plenty Of leaves, wide spreading top
and grows from four to six feet In
height. This makes 1t an excellent
crop for feeding green to cows.
Its principal value would seem to be
for this purpose, although 1t Is said to
make good fodder when cured.
A Hot Weather Plant.
1t requires rich, dry, warm soil
and should not be sown too early, US
1t is a hot weather plant. The soil
should be made mellow and fine, for
the seeds are small. Fifteen to TWEEN
ty pounds of seed should be sown to
the acre. 1t is not considered good
crop with which to seed down to
grass, as the growth is too thick and
heavy for this purpose. With favor
able conditions immense yields are
obtained, according to q writer in
American Cultlvator.
The stalks, while tall, are not usual
" over one-fourth of an inch in diam
eter. 1t should be in condition to feed
