BUcKWHEAT CULTURE.
The Largest Yields Are Obtained on
Sandy Loans.

The Largest Yields Are Obtained on
Sandy Loans.
The advantages Of buckwheat cul-
ture, pointed out in detail by j. L.
Stone in a recent bulletin Of the New
York Cornell experiment station, to-
gether with directions for growing the
crop, are here summarized:
Buckwheat prefers a moist cool eli
mate and natures in eight to ten
weeks and is thus well adapted TO high
attitudes and short sedsons. 1t grows
on many different kinds of soil and
succeeds fairly well on soils too poor
for other crops, but the largest yields
are obtained on fertile, well drained,
sandy loans. The crop is not specially
adapted TO heavy clays or wet lands,
and on very rich soils It lodges read
ily and when once lodged does not
rise again. Heavy applications Of
barnyard manure or of nltrogenous fer
tilizers are seldom profitable, as they
increase the tendency TO lodge, but the
use Of lime and phosphoric 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-
nhate 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 100 pounds per
acre. IN this same series of expert
ments a plat having received thirty
bushels OF stone lime per acre IN 1890
yielded 32.l bushels of buekwheat per
acre in 1901 as compared with 22.E
bushels on the check plat.

THE DAIRY CALF.
Feed and Care Necessary For Growth
and Development

Feed and Care Necessary For Growth
and Development
One Of the very best feeds to give the
skim milk calf is oats chop, says the
Farmers Advocate. Throw a little
dry chop in n box and allow the calf
to eat OF It whenever 1t desires. Grad
ually increase the amount as the calf
grows older.
The calf SHOULD never be confined in
. stall during the day If the weather is
warm and dry, Exercise Is the prin-
eipal thing IN the Development Of con-
gtitution.
If the reader is feeding a heifer calf
with the intention Of making a dairy
COW Of It when It has matured, there
should not be much fat forming foods
given. Cornmeal, ground barley and
even chopped rye should be fed spar
ingly. The little animal needs feed
rich IN protein, such as oats chop and
bran, with only enough fat forming
feeds to balance the ration and furnish
a variety.
Treat the calf kindly from the first
The gentle pet never makes a kicking
COW. Let the childpen pet It until 1t
Is "as gentle asia lamb"
Do not feed the calf too much coarse
feed, as Il has the tendency to dIstend
the paunch and make an IN shaped amt
NAL. ON the other hand, do not make
the ration entirely Of concentrates.
Careless methods Of feeding are re-
sponsihle for most cases OF disease in
young calves. Cold milk, as we'll as
milk that has been overheated, is in
furious because Il upsets digestion
Overefeeding is almost as bad in its
results as feeding too little until the
calf is old enough to eat hay.
