n tTivATios or bkkwheat.
Wlien buckwheat is sowed in the spring,
or first part of summer, the hot weather
which occurs when it is in blossom, prevents
perfect fructification. Consequently there
will be numerous clusters of kernels that will
be blasted. For this reason the seed should
be sowed, so that the hottest weather will
have passed, by the time the buckwheat is
in full bloom. Cool weather or at least cool
nights are quite as essential to good crops of
buckwheat, as hot days and nights are for
Indian corn. The point te be aimed at in
every locality is, to defer sowing as long as
possible and allow it sufficient time to ma
ture before an early frost will destroy the
crop. This period occurs at different times
in different localities. In the latitude of
Central and Western New York, the proper
time for seeding is ahout the first of July.
We have known buckwheat sowed as late as
the 16th of July, which produced a bounti
ful crop : but in that latitude there is a
great risk on account of the frost, if it is
not sowed by the tenth of July. Our most
successful farmers in this latitude, calculate
to have their buckwheat put in as soon as the
fourth of July, and in some seasons, even
when sowed at that time, frost appears so
early in the fall as to almost destroy the en
tire crop. In some localities it may be sow
ed the latter part of July, and escape frost
If the soil where it is sowed be well pulveri
zed so that it will vegetate immediately, and
if the grain is put in by the fourth of July
or even by*the tenth, a bountiful erop may
be expected. When the ground is plowed
but once for a crop of buckwheat where the
soil is heavy, it is often so dry and hard,
and breaks up in such large lumps and clods
that many farmers in waiting for rain to
moisten the soil previous to plowing, are
compelled to deter seeding until it is too late.
But if the soil be plowed in the spring, it
will not become dry and hard by the time it
is to be plowed the second time, but will be
moist and mellow ; and the grain will vege
tate soon.
Every intelligent fanner who is located on
a heavy soil, that is apt to plow up lumpy,
understands the importance of plowing it
when it is just moist enough to turn up mel
low. Buckwheat can not be expected to
vegetate in time' and flourish luxuriantly,
and yield a renumerating crop, when the
soil is a mass of dry lumps.— American Ag
riculturist.
MANURING (OR.\ AFTER IT IN IP.
Circumstances sometimes render it impos
sible to thoroughly prepare corn ground be
fore planting, and it is often advantageous
to manure after it is up. This mnst be done
at the time of the first hoeing. Along the
seaboard where the Moss-bunkers or Men
haden are taken in such great numbers, they
are much used. A shallow furrow is made
with a small plow, on each side of every
row, a few inches from the hills, turning the
earth away frem the row ; then one fish is
placed in the furrow on each side of every
hill. Should the furrows be too shallow in
some places, the earth is worked out a little
with the foot or hand-hoe, so that the fish
may be placed below the surface of the soil.
Then the earth is turned toward the hills,
and the corn hoed. If the fish should be
displaced, the workmen bury them again
close to the hill. By the time of the second
hoeing, they will be pretty thoroughly de
composed, Where there is not an excess of
water in the soil) this kind of manure pro
duces a very luxuriant and rapid growth, as
well as good yield. A similar method is
sometimes practiced with barn-yard manure,
the earth being turned from the rows as
previously directed, a small shovelful of ma
nure is placed on each side of every hill and
covered. The manner of distributing this
kind of manure is, to drive a loaded wagon
astride of one row, so that two hands can
each apply the manure to two or three rows
on each side. When turning a wagon around
over the young corn, if a wheel is liable to
run directly on a hill place short pieces of
plank or rails on oach side of it, which will
lift the wagon over without injuring the
corn. Lime, gypsum, ashes, guano, hen
manure, or any other similar materials may
often be very profitably applied, at the first
hoeing. They should always be sprinkled
over an area of several inches in diameter,
all around the hill, and covered and mingled
with the earth in hoeing. Guano, or strong
hen manure, if applied in this manner, will
never work injury to the young plants, un
less they come in direct contact with them,
or an inordinate quantity be used.—Ameri
can Agriculturist.
TMIV.MNO COR.\ IK THE MILKS.
Thinning should always be done as soon
as practicable after the corn has come up.
This is usually done at the first hoeing, but
should be delayed till danger from the grob,
or out-worm, is over. Unless careful labor
ers are employed, many hills will be neglec
ted. Superfluous stalks may be removed at
any convenient time, even in lowery weath
er, when the soil is too wet to be worked
with cultivators or hoes. The best manner
of doing this is to cut them off close to the
ground, with a sharp knife, and drop them
near the stand corn. The stalks should be
removed from the middle of the hill, that
the remaining plants may stand as flir from
each other as possible; the farther they
stand apart the larger the ears will grow.—
When the stalks are pulled up, they will of
ten loosen and break the roots of those that
are left, but, if cut off as directed, the roots
soon die. If care be not exercised in drop
ping only a proper number of kernels in a
hill, much labor will be required to thin out
a large field. Still it is better to do so than
to allow five or six stalks to grow where
there should be only three, or at most four.
There wiD be more and better grain on four
stalks than on a large number.— American
Agriculturist
PLOWIKO AHOSO TREES.
Bitch the traces at full length directly to
the plow ; then take a crooked jack stick,
like a piece of old scythe snath, two and a
half feet long ; sharpen each end to go into
the links of the trace chains ; then put it
under the horse just forward of his hind
legs; then get a stretcher about eight inch
es long, and put it as close to the plow as
Fou can; this will give the horse pleatF of
room for his hind feet, and he can walk right
against the trees and bushes and never in
jure them.

TjIOUTZ'S CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Ponders.
These Powders have proved, after a trial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fioin the fact that they are compos
ed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties from the stomach and intestines, the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
bloou, and lay the foundation for a vigorous [and
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the borsea
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders arc to bloat the animal, so as to give him the
appearance of being fat when not really so—but
to remove the disease and promote bis general
health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an*
bring them to a healthy state. They are a surepre
vention of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy
all diseases incident to the Horse, as Glanders,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss ol Appetite and Vital
Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
yonr hurscs will never get the Lung Fever Coric
or Botts. A few doses of these powders will re
move the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of borage to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and value whieh should place it in the
bands of every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes them thrive much faster,
HOGS.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the
lungs and liver, &c., by putting from half a paper
to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swill, the
above diseases can be cured or entirely prevented.
By using these powders the hog cholera can be
prevented.

The American Publishers continue to reprint the
above-named periodicals, but as the cost of printing
has dnubled and the price of paper nearly trebled,
they are compelled to advance their terms as fol
lows :

These works will be printed on a greatly im
proved quality of paper, and while nearly all A
uierican Periodicals are either advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
co.itinue to give faithful copies of all the matter
contained in the original editions.Hence, our pres
ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount
of matter furnished, as those of any of the com
peting periodicals in the country.
Compared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prices (sls) areexreeding
ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an
nual payments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright ifl Gold—slcosting us at
this time nearly $2.50 in currency—and wc trust
that in the scale wc have adopted we shall be enti
rely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public.
The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on ourgrcat civil War, and
though-some times tinged with prejudice they may
still, considering their great ability and the differ
ent stand-points from which they arcwritten, be
read and studied with advantage by the people of
this country of every creed and party.

So Favoritism. Every Sssboeriber on •*
brunnd Floor.
The property f the above named company,
which is about being organised under the mining
laws of Pennsylvania, consists of the following
valuable territory, to wit:
1. A lease of one-baif acre, known as "No. 3,"
on the Tenney and Storrow purchase, on Cherry
Run, Venango county, just above the celebra
ted "Reed" well and within a stone's throw of a
well just struck, flowing at present 100 barrels pei
day- A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
half the oil to the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to
the above, known as "No. 0," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acres of ground; flve-e'ghths of
the oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritebey Run, one mile from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the some distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company." All flat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of thfe Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny," of Philadelphia, are now sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it cannot be excelled by
that of any other comphny yet organized. The
two leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur- j
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 400,
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of
tteentg-five cent per share, thus plat ing eeery sub
scriber to thin fund on the gromui-Jioitr, and git
ing each subscriber a pro rata interest in the ter
ritory, engines, and other property of the company,
as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
after the purchase money and working capital are
raised. Front the nature of the leases boring up
on them must be commenced within sixty days
from the 20th of April, 1885, which is a sufficient
guaranty that the company will proceed without
delay to the development of its territory.
The following named persons haue been elected
officers of the company.
