The Optimist,
We met in the midst of a raging

until we were almost hurled from our

face blazed from the icy kisses of the
blast.
“It won't last,” he yelled, over the
roar of the storm. “The goose bone,

ural and favorite environment 1s “back

Good Bummer Cover Crop.
Low-grade fertilizers may be used to
advantage in the growing of buck-
wheat, as it can make use of relatively
insoluble materials to better advan-
tage than the other grain crops, It
may be used to render avallable In-
soluble phosphates, like rock phos-
phate, as these are taken up by the
plant in larger quantities than by
other small grains. To obtain the
greatest benefit from such applications
to follow crops, the buckwheat should
be grown as a ‘summer cover crop to
be plowed under as green manure In
preparation for fall seeding.
Buckwheat serves to make even very
hard land mellow and friable. Conse-
quently it is a good crop to use In
preparation for such crops as potatoes,
As it has a short growing period,
buckwheat can be grown on land where
spring-sown crops, such as corn, have
failed to make a stand. It can also
be used where the land cannot be
worked untill late, or where other
crops have been drowned out by late
spring floods,
Enlarge Farm Activities.
Buckwheat can be used to enlarge
farm activities. After other crops
that must be sown early are all ia
there is often time to prepare land and
sow buckwheat. On account of the
short growing season It may be sown
later than any other grain crop. Where
it 1s so used it often may be advisable
to sow it even on rich land which other
wise could be used more profitably for
other crops.
Buckwheat is a suitable crop for
growing on new ground. Land Just
cleared of timber or dralned marsh
land containing much decaying vege
table matter will produce good yields
of ‘this grain.

A preservative treatment with creosote.
This treatment does not consist simply
in painting the post with creosote of
in dipping it In creosote. While thesa
treatments do some good, they do not
insure deep penetration of the creosote
into the wood or the filling of the
cracks and season checks.
The best preservative treatment con-
sists In beating the posts in bolling hot
creosote for 30 to 60 minutes, then
leaving them In the tark until the
liquid has cooled. The creosote will
be forced deeply Into the wood and
thus fill all checks and cracks and
form an exterior shell of treated wood
that will prevent rotting. An old, dis-
