gtpatlratut. Buckwheat. Any time up to the middle of •Inly, will do to sow this valuable gniiu and almost any de scription of soil, dry, and not absolutely bar ren, will yield a tolerable crop, provided it be moist enough to sprout the seed and get it above the ground. A shower or two, and the dews will bring it on afterwards. \\ < have even raised a good crop of buckwheat when sowed in a dry time in .Inly, and it di I not come up till the middle of August. The ground need not be plowed until nearly ready to sow, as the fresher the earth the more readily will the seed germinate. It should, however, he light and line. Hall a bushel to three jvceks ol seed to the acre is sufficient, as the stalk branches out like a tree, and the grain is borne on every tendril. Cool September nights host lill and mature the gram. Marly sown, and blooming in the hottest weather, the seed is apt to blast in forming, and hence a light crop ; but if full set in early Septem ber, before a frost, it rapidly tills, and gives a bountiful yield. When ready to cut, which may be done while sotnc of the later kernels arc yet green, it should, according to its bulk on the ground, be carefully cut with a cradle or scythe, and lie a day or two to dry, and then be carefully forked together into little stooks to euro, and not taken in until the stalks are fully dry. It can then be thrashed in a machine more effec tually than in any other mode, although it is easily beat out with the Had. When cleaned up spread it thin on a floor, that it may thoroughly dry, since being late in the season, it is more liable to damp than the earlier cut grains. Well stored, and kept drv, the straw is a tolerable fodder for young stick of any kind, and sheep will cat it giccdily for a change.— We have fed tons of it advantageously to our Winter stocks, while for cattle bedding nothing is better. The virtues of buckwheat as a table food we need not enumerate. lJjckwhcat cakes are a luxury wherever known , and for pou'try. the uugromid grain is excellent. As pig, cat tie, or horse feed it is better ground than fed whole, and when ground is substantia! and nu tritious. Some farmers have a prejudice against growing buckwheat, as it " fouls " the land for the succeeding crop. (bhers think it injures the land in its fertility. From long experience, we think otherwise. It kills wire-worms, leaves the soil light and free, and a crop of Winter rye may be sowed immediatelyou its stnbbleto good advantage. We believe in buckwheat, as one of the sta ples of an annual farm crop. TIIF. COMMON* FI.AT Trnxii*.—According to the adage "on the twenty-fifth day of .Inly, sow turnips, wet or dry." Vet, wo would sow them sooner—early in July, if possible. Hut we have sown them in August, and had a good crop. An old pasture, well top-dressed with ashes and sheep dung, is their best soil, if light and dry—when a newly cleared piece of ground, which few people have on an ohl j farm, is not to be had. A quarter to a half pound of seed to the acre is enough, if well distributed ; and with occasional showers, they will grow vigorously, and yield several hundred bn.-diels to the acre. Although not equal to the Swede, or the Kuta-baga in substance, they make a good I green food for all kinds of stock in mild wea ther, either in the late Fall or carlv Spring, as a change from Imy and other dry forage.— As a table dish, during Autumn and early Win ter before they become pithy, few vegetables: are better, or more wholesome. The tops are excellent for Milch cows, and the roots also, if salted, and not fed in such quantities as to give their flavor to the milk. Like all late, or Summer sown seeds, the fiat turnip is a contingent crop, and not always reliable, depending on the wet or dry season for its growth and ripening ; consequently it is not recommended to be cultivated in large quantities, unless under particularly favorable conditions, and where the land can be well spared. Tliey may follow peas, or early pota toes in the garden to much advantage as a market gardener's crop, where they arc fre quently raised in great ami profitable abunda nce. Wherever they will succeed, they should always be sown to more or less extent. T T SK or LlME. —This article may be used in several ways, very advantageously, ju<f, notr. Scatter it around your res.--pools and kitchen drains, and over the lloor of your cellar, where vegetables have been stored. 11 is a power fill disinfector, to prevent unpleasant and un wholesome odors. I"so it liberally, also as a whitewash. Have your old buildings not worth a coat of paint, fences, sheds, hen-houses and granaries in the same condition ? (Jive them a dressing of whitewash. And don't forget the inside walls of your cellar. Nothing will make the air below stairs so sweet and healthy as this. To KIM, IVRUOCKS. —There are many ways to exterminate this pest, but the following i highly recommended : let the plants grow wntil Midsummer, when the stalks ami leaves are full of-Hip. Then cutof the roots with a strong sharp spade, two or three inches below ground, pluck off the plant with a smart pull and stamp the groum' firmly over tlie remain ing stump. It will seldom sprout again ; but if it does, it will be in so weak a state that another application of the spade will end the matter. Tirr LATE I'I.A NTIX< OK CORN. —No farmer should despair of a good crop, whose seed is not yet rrt the hi!?.
