This crop is regarded by many as a 'profitable one on land designed for win ter wheat, in a two-fold way-i-ae a fertil izer In retaining riibleture, .in attracting .and conveying to the.soll the manurial agencies &tiding in the atmoephere, and, at the saints time, furnishing, as aresult, ' a Welcome portion of breadoinaterial for family consumption withoWdefriment to the ,erttp of winter wheal which tis soceeed. Inetead.of letting the grehrot rest, as it is termed, in a followed state, it Is made to furnish on extra crop, count ed ass° pinch cleargain. It would be ab surd to assume that a crop of anything, dravihig nourishment Item the ion, does not weaken, at all, its productive force, unless It can be shown that with the draft Made these Is .eoupled a compensating poirer which serves to balance the ac count, This restoring force is ascribed to buckwheat by many who - have grown the tinkle and, watched' the effect on the subsequent crop.- On a certain occasion a • field of ten acres—an old pasture—was summer-fallowed quite early. It was a heavy clay eon, and after it had been tornetrover a couple of weeks, two acres of it were sown to buckwheat. It was harroWed, In the direction of the furrow., and a very tolerable seed bed secured. The result was a good yield of 'buckwheat, while thet of the winter va riety, which followed; was one-quarter better on the buokwheat ground than that on the portion whichh was allowed to rest and recuperate-In fallow. • The sto len crop seemed to give a liveliness and elaidleitY to the soil of the section need, which the fallow lest failed to impart to Alm remainder.—.Rurof New Yorker. DOWERDW RECOVERY EN LAND Nothing should be more encouraging to the bolder of impoverished lands than' the remarkable restoration so frequently accomplished by what would seem very inadequate means—a few bushels of lime or guano, er plaster, nuking all the dif ference, tit a short time, between what mewed to be eternity and a high degree of fertility. Take, for Instance, the et'. feet produced by lime, which, though applied in much larger quantity than ins other fertillzeri, - is extremely , small is oomparison of the great mails of earth it la applied to. We find it, under Judi cious management, changing the whole character of the surface soil and its pro ductions, both as to' quality and quantity of the latter. Two or three bushels of gyp sum (sulpht.te of lime) produces on some soils the same-and even greet Ctie . ct. A duiting ,of Peruvian guano onskes the increase of the fret crop four, five:and even ten-fold. . Now, It is well known, that It Is not theaddidinial matter that adds so much tti the crop. If Is the action, mainly; which it.),)rings about upon the thready _present constituents of the soil. Lime, for instance, is•often added, when there is quite en - with already in the soil for all the Purposes of crop food ; yet there is no action brought about In the soil making if capable of production un known to it before.. All the elements of -food were present in sufficient quantity,. bat they needed some "moving of the wetting" to Imbue them with life-giving; power—some change in their combing' hone and relations, which the added ele ment caused. , Sometimes, Indeed, this uhenge Is not immediate or direct. Sul- Mune of lime will have no effect, It may be, op a crop of wheat to which It may be applied, but makes the crop of clover which follows; and that given back to the soil, it has all the Moments of fertility in full play. Yet nothing but the bushel or two of sulphate of lime bet been added. It is still the old dela, with its undeveloped capabilities tamest into action by an, estreniely cheap and simple espedlent. But we are too apt to say, when we see a neighbor take hie start of us in such " iniprovemtint, that his laud is net niaht better than ours. It cannot be doubted that there aro material differen- Oee'in the natural constitution of soils. But it must at least be proved, by a proper trial, that yours may not be im proved by the same means as your' neighbor's, or by some other means as effective, which are not yet tried, or not yet. possibly, disoovered, We know of no lied. that should be abandoned to hopeless sterility. prAritiNs AIIONGST CORN Almost sli "old-fasbiened farmers" take oft a amp of pumpkins from their cont-fields, much to the annoyance of the theorist, who demonstrates to his en tire mtlafaction that the one crop must detract from the full force of the other. But the most.careful experiments show no loss to the corn. The same weight results from on• acre, with or without the pumpkins. It does at first thought seem as if it ought not be so. If it takes Just sopany bushels of corn to fatten a hog, it Idiot clear how we ure to fatten two from 'the g eame quantity. This is the argument of the theorizer. But the facts are sive have stated ; and the rea eou probably ls, that the pumpkin and corn feed on entireli different foods in the soil, so that the one can go on with ant Weigher.— Western ,Surat. , As the semen of ice cream is now upon us, we, give a brief recipe for making thisexiielletit dish, which we have found tinsurpasee4 w Take one quart of milk, and said iy very little • beat the yolk of Lodi eggs toe froth, and stir in slowly; add shalt pound of sugar; Slasor as you like and freese.—Erchouge- A mom* old lady hsAreil almiss leriped her °seise. when she applied for a Hems% AS a - "hay dog of the black spittle' moiety., Wyly' hp A room full of married folks like it mast tlutt Is empty?
