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
