Buckwheat Quite Useful
as Short Season Crop

Buckwheat is a s~hort-season emer-
gencyL crop which can be grown in
many states. The crop is useful to
replace a corn planting which is
drowned out and cannot be replanted,
and IL may also be used TO fill other
emergencies in the rotation. Buck
wheat always commands a relatively
good price on the market and. while
the yield is generally only fifteen to
twenty bushels per acre, the return
per acre is usually quite satisfactory.
Buckwheat natures In ten or twelve
weeks and can be seeded as late as
the first week in July. 1t is adapted
to a wide range OF soil and. in fact,
VIII grow to better advantage on poor
soils than a great many other crops.
The usual seeding rate is four or FIVE
pecks to the acre and the seed may be
either drilled or b~roadcasted. Among
the best varieties is the japanese
buckwheat.
Cutting when the first seeds have
matured and the others are well
formed is advised. The r must be
left In the field about ten days to dry
out and the balance of the reed will
ripen In this time. If the cutting is
delayed until all the seed is ripe, some
OF the earliest seed is likely to shatter.

Lessen Ravages of Flies

mixture OF seal or fish oil and crude
cnrbolic acid In the proportion of a
tablespoonful OF carbolic acid 10 a
quart OF oil. II Is readily applied with
a brush. Another preparation that is
highly recommended is a mixture OF
pine tar and lard In the proportion
OF one part Of the former to ten parts
of the latter. II is put on with a cloth
and rubbed down the neck, back. chest
and loins, where the flies are most
troublesome.

OF applying a spray IL to have a large
sprayer, arranged TO strike the animal
at all points. stationed beside a wall
built OF poles. having a door at each
end. so that the cows can be quickly
sprayed and run through one after
another.
The Ideal summer treatment OF
cattle, whether dairy or feeding cattle,
Is TO give them access to a darkened

when flies are most troublesome.

Most Careful Attention
for Eggs During Summer

Eggs are easily secured in March,

years results at the Storr's egg-laying

hen should lay within seven Of as many

production? &c.
