farmer's gtparlmcut.
Thrashing Buckwheat.
As this is the month iu which buckwheat is
usually gathered and thrasher, we have word
or two to soy ou the latter branch of this
labor.
It is a long-time custom with some farmers
to thrush their buckwheat in the tit-id where
it is grown. The reasons for it, as they say,
nre that it is " handier than to curt it to the
burn ; it shells out. less, and there lore wastes
less ; and the work is so quickly done that it
is altogether better— provided the iceathcr is
good. We will not s'op to enumerate the
mishaps which this proviso is occasionally sub
jected to iu long storms, by which the eut.re
crop is damaged, or lost, but confine the ob
jection to a single item, or two. In the first
place if the ground is hard enough to uiuke a
thrashing floor without carrying boards, or
piunk for the purpose, and barricading to keep
the grain from flying out by the action of the
flails upon it, llie grain gets full of grit and
dirt, from whieh it is almost impossible for the
funning mill to clean it. And this, with the
extra lubor laid out upon it, with loss of straw,
costs quite as ranch as the haul the cut grain
to the barn and then do the job up tidily,
saving the straw, and getting a good yield of \
clean seed.
In the second place, if you have a barn, the i
harvested crop, when sufficiently dry. can be
hauled in, and there lay for bad onto! door
weather, in which you may thrash it without
prejudice to other work which must have fair
weather. We prefer a thrashing machine for
buckwheat to the flail, provided the straw is j
not so long, or stout as to clog it. The grain I
is much cleaner, and for flouring purposes al-j
together better, as a good deal of the grain is
partially hulled by the teeth of the thrasher.
Resides this, it is thrashed perfectly clean, and
none is left in the straw. Alter thrashing, let
the grain be thinly spread over a floor, (ill dry. j
It will yield double the flour, and that of a
better quality than when at all moist, besides
occasionally getting musty. Save all the straw.
It is the best of cattle bedding, besides a make
shift fodder.
NEWLY SEEDED MEADOWS AXD PASTURES
Let the season be as it uiuy, there will usu- j
ally be some spots iu newly seeded grass I
grounds where the Spring or Autumn seeding
for some reason has not yet taken well, and I
they conseqenlly are bare. The month if
October, when t lie September rains revive the j
withered and feeble growing grass that has
suffered in the Summer drouth after the Spring
sowing, will show such places where the seed
has failed ; and now is the time to re-seed
tliem, particularly with timothy, or red top.
One method is this : Examine the field eiore
ly by walking carefully over it with a bag of
seed thrown over the shoulder, taking along
n hov with a bundle of small sharpened sticks ;
Wherever a bare spot is found, strew a suffiei- j
ent quantity of seed, and let the boy drive a ,
stick five or six inches into the ground so that
tiie next Spring's thawing of the Winter frost
will not throw it out. The seed will come up
this Fall and make growth enough to hold in
the ground for the Winter. When tlie snow
goes off in the Spring, as early as possible, go
over the land again with a bag of clover seed
—if you wish the clover added to the timo
thy, or red top —and sow that, letting the boy
follow and pull up the sticks as tie goes. The
opening and shutting of the surface of the land
by the Spring frosts, wiil cover the clover seed
and when the growing season arrives, a fine
young growth of the grasses will appear, and
future meadow, or pasture be uniformly cover
ed with the young crops of grass. The young
growth will probably give but little crop the
first season, but will be sure for the year fol
lowing.
It is quite too common a tiling for farmers
to turn over their newly seeded fields for another
crop of smaH grains, and a re seeding of grass
because the young grass lias apparently failed,
when it is only feeble, and hus made little
grow th by reason of drouth, or otherwise ;
when with a little patience, and coaxing, the
coining mid summer would show a beautiful
sod, and a late harvest of excellent hay.
FALL PASTURE—OCTOBER PUTTER. —We don't
like to tell to many secrets ; but when we say
that October butter, righ'ly mde, is the very
best for Winter use of the whole season, we
know what we are talking about. We say
41 rightly made." And that is not simply in
setting the mi Ik, skimming off the cream, churn
ing and working it, and then packing it down,
but depends, also, on keeping the cow properly
while yielding her milk for the purpose. Some
have n notion that mowing grounds, should
never be Fall pastured. Such may lie, or may
not be. We assume, however, that after the
hay is carried off, and the meadow has lain
ojien to the after showers of the season, provid
ed it has a thick, close bottom, and not been
top-dressed since having, and the grass has
again a good stocky growth, none so good use
be made of that grass, or the groun I it grows
on, as to feed it off with some sort of farm
s'ork, which it will be ready to have done, if
at all, by tlie fir-it of October. Then, if yon
have a lot of butter dairy cows, turn thein in
Their milk is then rieher in cream than earlier
tn the season, although the quantity of milk is
less. The grass is fresh, clean, solid and rich.
Turn them iu after the frost is off the grass in
the morning, and not before. If it is late in
the morning before the frost melts or eropi -
ates, give the cows a snip of hay in tlie stables
or sheds before they go out, and keep tliem in
all night, with a bite of hay before them.—
Don't leave them in the field, for they wiH not
eat in a frosty night, and their ruilk w.il se
crete less iu the chilly air than when under
shelter. Tneu your cows are in capital health
and condition ; tlirir secretions of milk uniform
and the quality of the best; and such milk must
make good butter, if properly treated after
wards.
HAVE YOU A CHOICE GRAPE CUTTING THAT
YOU WANT TO GROW ?—Then go to the woods,
(i'K some roots of a wild grape via?, cut them
into pieces of nixmt 6 inches long, cut your
clio.ce grajie vine, or cutting into pieces ot only
one, or at most, two buds; insert lite lower end
by the common deft grafting method, into the
pieces of wild root ; plant it in the earth, leav
ing the bud of the cutting just level with the
top of the ground. Every one so ina-'o will
grow, and in two years become bearing plants.
