Cultivation of Boakwheat.
It has been said that buckwheat occapitsi
the same position among grains as the donkey
does among animals—useful but not popubtr.
It will grow onthe poorest of sandy soils;
Ma be sown later than nay other grain ; and
is one of the best crops for-cleaning the land
and for killing wireworms mil other filial-ions
grabs. It boa been extensively used for plow
ing is ts a manure. But though it has prov
.ed beneficial for this purpose, it is not as good,
as many, other crops that might be used--such
as white lupin, spnrry, red clover, &c.
fa clearing off poor and hilly land, buck
wheat is admirable for the first crop. We
have aeon excellent crops on such laud in New
England, where apparently no other crop wonld
thrive. On such laud, however, it is eseeed
ingly grateful for manure. On the farm of
Mr. &War SABIN, of Lee, Mara., we saw a
crop of buckwheat on a rough hilt-side, Where
half the field had been top dressed with 100
lbs. 'of Peruvian guano per acre ; and on this
half the crop was at least double what it was
on lbeotber half, where no guano was used.
An experienced farmer says, " barn-yard 'ma
nure, whether green or rotted, ashes, , linie, and
plaster, all seem to produce a wonderful effect
when applied to this crop."
Buckwheat is often sown too early. When
to early, the hot sun is apt to blast the flowers
The middle of Jade, in this section, is consid
ered the best time to sow ; though, in 'New
England, good crops are often obtained when
sown es late as 4th of July. In sections where
there is danger of frosty nights early in the
fall, it must he sown early, as a slight frost
often destroys the crop. We must endeavor
to steer between the two dangers—blasting of
the flowers in the summer, when sown early ;
and the destruction of the erop by frost in the
fall, when sown late. It succeeds well sown
on clover or grass sod. Formerly, it was con
sidered beat to break up the land in the spring
and cultivate and harrow it a few times before
sowing ; but latterly - the practice is to pasture
the land, and break up immediately before sow
ing. From three pecks to a bushel is the usual
quantity of seed..
Of the uses of buckwheat, we need not speak.
Everybody likes buckwheat cakes on a cold
winter's morning. It is good food for paltry,
Hogs thrive upon and are fond of it. When
crushed, it is good feed for horses—more nu
tritions,it is said, than oats. It is good for
snitch-cows, increasing the quantity and rich
ness of the milk. Bees will travel considera
ble distance to find a field of buckwheat in
flower, though it itr said the honey is not as
good as from clover, 4ke.
Slop TnE Smart—Good cows, many times,
ate in the habit of sucking themselves, and
many ways are tried in vain to prevent the
mischief ; and young calves are always in the
habit of sucking each other's ears. This may
be prevented by a composition of spirits of
turpentine, musk, and asafoetida. Heat them
all well together, and when cool, give the cow
a largelpoonful on the roots of the tongue ;
then rah a little on the cow's bag, about the
roots of the teats. If the cow still continues
in the habit, cut off the fingers of an old glove
stip these over the teats, and saturate them
veil.,They may be taken off when you want
~to milk. Always give your patient a good
taste of the medicine before you rub it on.—
Calves may be treated in the same manner.—
lf musk is not convecient, the composition may
be,made of spirits of turpentine and asafoetida
—A. L. Sutra.
PLerrtxo POTATOES WITH Cons.—Last year
I told you if my planting potatoes among corn
and with what success, that being the second
year. lem now to relate my third year's trial,
this being with the Mercer, which have always
been with me, more subject to the rot than any
other kind I have raised. I digging them
last fall, I found enough to prove that they
were not wholly exempt from the disease, still
there were far less than among those planted
alone. The yield warnot as good as by them
selves, while I believe the corn was full as good
in both quantity and quality, as if there had
no potatoes, there. My method is to fit the
ground for corn, mark for rows one way, ond
plant across the marks. This gives rows both
ways. I then plant a hill of pi tatoes in every
space between each two hills of corn. This
leaves the crop so as to be cultivated only one
way, which may be repeated as may be sego's
ed.—D., Gott:.
Tarr Sawn CORN BEFORS PIANTING,—Oft-re
pealed suggestions for saving and keeping seed
cot* have been given in this journal. Rot
.whetheribese have been followed or not, it is
wall to make a preliminary test of corp, and
- pf sit-other seeds which sometimes fail to vege
tate.. -This is easily; done. Select from the
.rutetenotigh to be a fair sample, and plant in
a watingthation, or in a box of earth, kept
suitable warm and moist. • An , examination of
the specimens, even before coming up, will
show whether they are h. a sprouting condition.
Bettie far to-do this, than to make similur ex•
prig:tent- on a five or ten acre field, and only
learn of a bad result when too late to be re . -
tnedied.—Aet.
-Luta BRANS.—We See that some of our
Wt . " - hien of the press are recommending the
jpinebinteff of Lima beans when six feet high
flistead ikpermitting the vines to run around
poloyof fifteen' feet. This is an excellent prac
tivOnd was first suggested by ourselves,
which seems to be remotion by those who then
repudiate's and turw adopt - it. Such treatment
causes thelvine to grow to a much larger crop
of - fine fruit, and to - perfect the licana before
frost; instead of continuing to bear Indefinitely
and to perfect hut Yew. This so excellent Crop
when so-managed and always profitable. It
only requires full fertilization and though dis
integration of the soil to raise a pint or -more
of Lima bean; per pole; and with such a crop
sold at six , dollars per bushel in the dry mite,
the yield *ill equal $4OO or More per acre to
value.-- Working Parma.
