farmer's Department. [From the Genesee Farmer.] Cultivation of Buckwheat. It hag been said that buckwheat occupies the same position among grains as the donkey does among animals— useful but net popular. It will grow on the poorest of sundy soils; can be sown later than any other grain ; and is one of the best crops for cleaning the land and for killing wirewoims and other injurious grubs. It has been extensively used for plow ing in as a manure. Hut though it lias prov ed beneficial for this purpose, it is not as good as many other crops that might be used—such as white lupiu, spnrry, red clover, Ac. In clearing off poor and hilly land, buck wheat is admirable for the first crop. We have seen excellent crops on such laud in New England, where apparently no other crop would thrive. On gueb land, however, it is exceed ingly grateful for manure On the farm < f Mr. HENKY SACIN*, of Lee, Mass., we saw a crop of buckwheat on a rough hill-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 w hat it was ou the other half, where no guano was used. An experienced farmer says, "barn-yard ma nure, whether green or rotted, ashes, lime, and plaster, all seein to produce a wonderful effect when applied to this crop." Buckwheat is often sow n too early. When to early, the hot sun is apt to blast the flowers The middle of June, in this section, is consid ered the best time to sow ; though, in New England, good crops are often obtained when sown as late as 4th of July. In sections where there is danger of frosty nights early in the fall, it must bo 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 crop by frost in the fall, when sown late. It succeeds well sown on clover or grass sod. Formerly, it was con sidered best to break tip 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 peeks 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 pultry. Hogs thrive upon and are fond of it. When crushed, it is good feed for horses—more nu tritious, it is said, than outs. It is good for milch 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 is said the honey is not as good as from clover, Ac. STOP THE SI CKER —Good cows, many times, are in the habit of sticking themselves, and many ways are tried in vain to prevent the mischief ; and youug calves are always in the habit of sucking each other's tars. This may be prevented by a composition of spirits of turpentine, mnsk, and nsafoetida. lleat them all well together, and when cool, give the cow a large spoonful on the roots of the tongue : then rub 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 slip these over the teats, and saturate them well. 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 iu the same manner.— If musk is not convenient, the composition may be made of spirits of turpentine and asufcrtida —A. L. SMITH. FI.ANTIXC, POTATOES WITH CORN. —Last year I told you if my planting potatoes among corn and with what success, that being the second year. lam 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 was not 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 lit the ground for corn, mark for rows one wav, and plant across the marks. This gives rows both ways. 1 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 requir ed.—D., Gules. TEST SEF.P CORN BEFORE PLANTING.—Oft-re peated suggestions for saving and keeping seed corn have been given in this journal. But whether these have been followed or not, it is well to make a preliminary test of corn, and of nil other seeds which sometimes fail to vege tate. This is easily done. Select from the mass enough to be a fair sample, and plant in a warm situation, 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 it. a sprouting condition. Better far to do this, than to make similar ex periment on a live or ten acre field, and only learn of a bad result when too late to be re medied.—Am. AgrictU. LIMA BEANS. —We see that 60ine of our brethren of the press are recommending the pinching off of Lima beans when six feet high instead of permitting the vines to run around poles of fifteen feet. This is an excellent prac tice, and was first suggested by ourselves, which seems to be forgottenbytlio.se who then repudiated and now adopt it. Such treatment causes the vine to grow to a much larger crop of fine fruit, and to perfect the beans before frost, instead of continuing to bear indefinitely and to perfect but few. This an excellent crop when so managed and always profitable. It only requires full fertilization uud 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 state, the yield will equal S4OO or more per acre in value.— Working Farmer. ■MULCHING is one of the best means of pre the-gooseberry, and it is the mildew on gr^ ur / I (^V' ered on tl, e SMI' " so - - jffcfsrrllaiuotis. -pR PORTER'S DRUG STORE IS FULL PR.

THESE MACHINES sew from twospools. as purchased from the store, requiring no re-wind ing of thread ; they Hem, Fell, Gather, and Stich in a superior style, finishing each seam by their own opera tion, without recourse to the hand-needle, as is required by other machines. They will do better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress, even if she works for one cent an hour, and are, nnqnestionably, the best Machines in the market for family sewing, on account of their simpli city, durability, ease of management, and adaption to all varieties of family sewing—executing either heavy or fine work with equal facility, and without special adjustment. As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their Machines, the Grover A Baker Sewing Machine Compa ny beg leave to respectfully refer to the following TESTIMONIALS. " Having had one of Grover k Baker's Machines in my family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in commending it as every way reliable for the purpose for which it Is designed—Family Sewing."— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, urife of Rev. Dr. Leavit, Editor of N. Y. Inde pendent. " I confess myself delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has been in my family for several months. It has always been ready for duty, requiring no adjustment., and is easily adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply changing the spools of thread."— Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland, wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor of N. Y. Christian Advocate. " After trying several good machines, 1 preferred yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease with which it is managed as well"as the strength and du rability of the seam. After long experience, I feel com petent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recom mend it for everv variety of family sewing."— Mrs.E. B. Spooner, wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star. " I have used a Grover & Baker Machine for two years, and I have found it adapted to ail kinds'of family sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have been worn without the giving away of a stitch. The Machine is easily kept in order, and easily used.— Mrs. A. B.lVhip pie, wife of Rev. Geo. Whipple, New York. '• Your Sewing Machine has been in nse in my family the past two years, and the ladies request me to give you their testimonials to its perfect adaptness, as well as labor-saving qualities in the performance of family and household sewing.— Robert Boor-man, New York. " For several months we have used Grover A Baker's Sewing Machine, and have come to the conclusion that every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly done, would be most fortunate in possessing one of these reliable and indefatigable "iron needle-women," whose combined qualities of beauty, strength and simplicity, are invaluable.— J. W. Morris, daughter of Gen. Geo, P. Morris, Editor of the Home Journal. Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, nn American gentleman, now resident in Sydney, New South Wales, dated January 12, 1858 ; " I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which there were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one of Grover A Baker's Machines, and a single seam of that has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a needle and twine." " If Homer could be called up from his murkv hades,he would sing the advent of Grover A Baker as a" more be nignant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan's smithy. He would denounce midnight shirt-making as " the dire ful spring of woes unnumbered."— Prof. North. " I take pleasure in saying, that the Grover A Baker Sewing Machines have more than sustained myexpectation. After trying and returning others,l have three of them in operation in my different places, and, after four year's trial, have no fault to find— J. 11. Hammond, Senator of South Carolina. " My wife has had one of Grover A Baker's Sewing Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it is one of the best labor-saving-machines that lias been invented. I take much pleasure in recommending it to the public."— J. G. Harris, Governor of Tennessee. " It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody into an excitement of good humor. Were I a Catholic. I should insist upon Saints Grover A Baker having an eternal ho liday in commemoration of their good deeds for humani ty."— Cassias .>/. Clay. " I think it by far the best patent in use. This Machine can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest cassimere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully than one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced, money could not buy it."— Mrs. J. G. Brown, i\a*hvitle Tenn. " It is speedy, very neat, and durable in its work ; is easily understood and kept in repair. I earnestly recom mend this Machine to all my acquaintances,and others."— Airs. M. A. Forrest, Memphis, Tenn.
