The name "buckwheat" is a cor
ruption of each wheat." It was so
named because the eccd resembles
the beech most in shape. Buckwheat
in a native ol Asia, was brought into
Eurone either br the Crusaders six
or seven hundred rears ago,
or into
Spain bv the Moors. It am not
reach England until within the last
two hundred and fifty years, but just
in time to come over with some of th
earliest Bettlers in America. It was
cultivated bv the Hudson river Dutch,
and by the Swceds on the Delaware.
Tkn iintMi mention it as early as,
1626, and from what they say on the
subject, it is quit certain they then
knew as much about buckwheat cakes
ai was ever worth knowing, from
these two centres of early settlement
t.. M,inV!ion Fnread over ew
York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
following the colonist into the new
l.nmra the? cleared up in the forest's
as certainly as the honey-bee follows
in the pathway of the western pio
neer, making its home wherever the
white man builds his cabin. These
three States have always been im
mense producers of buckwheat, grow
ing two-thirds of the whole quantity
raised, now amounting to many mil
lions of bushels annually. Its culti
vation is rapidly extending through
the north and northwest, until the
present annual product is over thirty
millions of bushels.
There are three varieties, oue of
which, known as Indian buckwheat,
is grown, in New England for fatten
ing swine, and produces a flour unfit
or at least unpalatable, as human food.
On new soil this harsh, coarse grain
will yield a hundred bushels an acre.
Chemistry bat shown that buckwheat
abounds in nutritive material. The
straw also contains much nutritive
matter, and is readily consumed by
most domestic animals.
The crop is held to be a great cleans
er of the soil from weeds, and is often
owed for that purpose. Its roots
penetrate deeply, while its dense fo
liage so completely shades the ground
that, though the seeds ot many weeds
may germinate, they cannot struggle
up to the sun and ripen. Even that
stubborn pest, the Canadian thistle,
can be smothered out by successive
buckwheat crops. It is, therefore, in
valuable as a cleanser of every kind
of land, but more especially on heavy
moist soils, most likely to be infested
by weeds, and less easily worked for
cleansing purposes.
Though used as 6tock feed, w hen
tnixod and ground with oats and fed
largely to poultry, yet it is recogniz
ed as the chief end and aim of buck
wheat that it be converted into cakes
for winter breakfasts. No cold weath
er fodder for the family so witchingly
captivates the appetite as they do.
The mere flavor of the kitchen, as one
descends the staircase of a crisp win
ter morning, so sharpens the appetite
as to make delay in the serving cp of
this sublime delicacy, light, hot,smok
ing, and in sufficient quantity, an ag
onizing iritant to the most evenly
balanced temper. No institution is
more immovably established among
us than this. Beside it even our Na
tional Constitution is a fugitive con
trivance. Abolish buckwheat cakes,
and we should have a new rebellion
not so bloody as the last, but hav
ing about it quite as much batter.
Mow ! WUtfr Apples.
The following
tions are offered
Farmer.
eiccllent sugges
by the Vermont
The way that most farmers save their
winter apples is to hole them up, like
potatoes, or pile them up in a cave
or cellar. By this method you not
only lose much valuable time, but
lose very many apples ; and what
you keep over winter are in bad con
dition. Apples mav be kept in bar
rels that are quite open ; but the best
and cbeaitest way is to keep them in
cartes and boxes made in the follow
ing manner : The end or head pie
ces should be ten or twelve inches
wide by fifteen to eighteen long.
Can le sawed or split. Nail your
boards on the bottom and sides, lear
ingplaces for ventilation. Have vour
boards all the same length about
three feet. When you gather your
apples from the trees, put them in
these boxes (be careful not to bruise
them) and lav the boxes on each
other in your apple house. Two
men will handle these boxes with
case. You can look your apples over
in these boxes at anv time with but
little labor. When vou are ready to
ship just nail a board over the top
aud yon are ready. In this way you
get your apples to market in good
condition, and handle them but once.
Keep your house as cold as possible
at all times without freezing.
! Ideas of Faratlag;.
The following views of farming so
entirely cover the ground of success
ful culture that we give them a place
for the benefit of our readers :
1. That the area under cultiva
tion should be within the limits of the
capital employed, or in other words,
that on the impoverished soils no one
fchould cultivate more land than lie
can enrich with manures aud fertili
rera be it one acre or twenty.
2. There should be a law compel
ling every man to prevent his stock
from depredations on his neighbors
fields.
3. That green soiling is more eco
nomical than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to
food farming.
5. That the muck heap is the
farmer' bank, and that everything
should be added that will enlarge it,
and increase at the sametime its fer
tilizing properties.
6. That no farmer or planter
ttnonld depend upon one statue alone,
but should seek to secure himself
against serious loss in bad seasons bv
diversity of products.
Breading- Haaja.
A practical breeder gives the fol
lowing advice, for those whose herd
is not too large, and who are engag
ed in mixed hasbandrv: To handle
bogs to the best advantage, a pasture
is needed or mixed grasses, clover,
blue grass and timothy, and it is best
if there is no running water or stock
ponds in the lot. Hogs do better
where there are no branches or ponds
to wallow in. In place thereof have
good well water pumped for them.
Have troughs made, and nail strips
across, eight inches apart, to keep the
hogs from lying down in the water,
and let these hogs be put on floors,
to keep them from digging up wal
lowing holes. If any feed be given,
it should be soaked in swill barrels
for twelve hours before feeding no
longer and feed to them as drink

Kcrooen for Hen Lira.
Hen lice are among the greatest
drawbacks to the pleasure and profit
of a poultry yard ; they are especially
troublesome in small yards and coops
where the fowls cannot have free ac
cess to the green food and dry
earth. We have tried various rem
edies and found kerosene oil to be a
very effectual and safe one. It is op-l
plied with very little trouble ; pour
it from the can upon the perches
where the fowls roost, and when the
a Timii 1
hens arc ready to brood, saturate the
inside of the box before the clean hay
or straw is put in with the eggs.
It is very much less trouble to apply
the oil than to use a wash of tobacco,
or to go through a process of white
washing once a month. American
Agriculturalist.
4'leaa Water.
An English technical periodical
j oints out an cony way of testing
whether water is good and fit for
general use. It says : Good water
should be free from color, unpleasant
odor and taste, and should quickly af
ford a lather with a small portion of
soap. If half a pint of the water be
placed in a perfectly clean colorless
glass-stoppered bottle freely exposod
to the daylight in the window of a
ware room, the liquid should not be
come turbid, even after exposure for
a week or ten days. If the water be
comes turbid, it is open to the grave
suspicion of sewerage contamination ;
but if it remain clear, it is almost ccr
tainlr c&fr. We to Ilfisch this

Sketch of a (Jentleman.
Moderation decorum, neatness, dis
tinguish the gentleman. He is at all
times affable and studious to please.
Intelligent and polite, his behavior is
pleasant and graceful.
When he enters the dwelling of an j
inferior, he endeavors to hide if possi
ble the difference between their rank
in life; ever willing to assist those
around him, he is neither unkind,
haughty, nor overbearing.
In the mansions of the great the
correctness of his mind induces him
to bend to etiquette, but not to stoop
to adulation; correct principle cau
tions him to avoid the gambling table,
inebriety, or any other foible that
could occasion him self-reproach.
Pleased with the pleasures of reflec
tion he rejoices to see the gaities of
society, and is fastidious upon no
point of little import.
Appear only to be a gentleman. and
its shadow will bring upon you eon
tempt; be a gentleman, and its hon

How la Treat Flesh Wounds.
Every person should understand
how o treat a flesh wound, because
one is liable to bo placed in circum
stances, away from surgical and vet
erinary aid, where he may save his
own life, the life of a friend, or a beast,
simply by the exercise of a little com
mon 6ense. In the first place, close
the lips of the wound with the hand
and hold them firmly together to
check the flow of blood until several
stitches can lie taken and a bandage
applied. Then bathe the wound fur
a long time in cold water.
"Should it be painful," a corres
pondent says, "take a panful of burn
ing coals and sprinkle upon them com
mon brown sugar, and hold the
wounded part in the smoke. In a
few minutes the pain will be allayed,
and recovery proceeds rapidly. In
my case a rusty nail had made a bad
wound in the sole of my foot. The
pain and nervous irritation were se
vere. This was all removed by hold
ing it in smoke for fifteen minutes.and
I was able to resume my reading in
comfort We have often recommend
ed it to others with like results. A
short time ago one of my men had a
finger nail torn out by a pair of ice
tongs. It became extremely painful,
as was to have been expected. Held
it in sugar smoke for twenty minutes
the pain ceased, and it promised
speedy recovery.
Inn More.
Cultivate singing in the family.
Begin when the child is not yet three
years old. Ibe songs and hymns
your mother sang, bring them all back
to your memory, and teach them to
your little ones; the hymn and the
ballad; funny and devotional; mix
them all together, to meet the similar
moods, as in after life they come over
us so mysteriously sometimes. Many
a time and oft, in Wall street and
Broadway, in the very whirl of busi
ness; in the sunshine and gayety on
Fifth avenue, and amid the splendor
of the drives in the Central Park,
some little thing wakes up the memo
ries of early youth the old mill; the
cool spring; the shady tree by the
little school house and the next in
stant we almost see again the ruddy
cheek, the smiling faces, and the mer
ry eyes of schoolmates, some grey
headed now, most "lying mouldering
in the grave." And "anon, "the song
my mother sang," springs unbidden
to the lips, and soothes and sweetens
all these memories.
At other times, amid all these
crushing mishaps of business, merry
ditty of the olden time pops up its
little head, breaks in upon the ugly
train of thought, throws the mind in
to another channel; light breaks in
from behind the cloud in the sky, and
a new courage is given to us. The
honest man goes singing to his work;
and when the day's labor is done, his
tools .aid aside, and he is on his way
home, where wife and child, and tidy
table and cheery fireside await him,
he cannot help but whistle or sing.
The burglar never sings. Moody
silence, not the merry song, weighs
down the dishonest tradesman, the
perfidious clerk, the unfaithful ser
vant, the perjured partner. Hall's
Journal of Htalth.
A mspatch from Forest, Canada,

Recreation for Farmers.
Farmers necessarily live at consid
erable distances from each other, and
in consequence of this, and their hab
its of steady labor, confine themselves
too much to their own fields and fire
sides. They and their families need
recreation, need pleasure, need some
thing to counteract the effect of the
constant labor in which they are en
gaged. The mechanic in the village
or city has his mind frequently drawn
away from his work by that which is
going on around him ; but the farm
er being differently situated, finds
nothing to break up the monotony,
unless he seeks for it elsewhere. It
j is quite probable that more would be
accomplished, and a better tone of
feeling be experienced, to say nothing
of the more cheerful countenances
which would be worn, if a half day
each week were given to social inter
course with fellow-farmers, instead of
devoting six full days each week to
unremitting labor. After a day spent
pleasantly away from home, the labor
is net so irksome ; the laoorcr is hap
pier. Allowing that as much was not
accomplished by giving a little time
to relaxation, it should be borne in
mind that food and raiment for the
family, forage for the stock, and money
for the bank are not the only things
worth living for. Wc need happi
ness. But if a portion of this time be
given to a wide awake farmers' club,
ideas will be gained, practical knowl
edge acquired, which in time will
bring about results far in excess of
those which will be realized by the
farmer who does not improve these
opportu nities. Iloxton Transcript.
Better than Void
We often hear little boys telling of
the wonders they will do when they
grow to be men. They are looking
and longing for the time when they
shall be large enough to carry a cane
and ware a high hat ; and not one of
them will say that he expects to be a
poor man, but they every one intend
to be rich. Now money is very good
in its place ; but let me tell you, little
boys, what is tj great deal bettor than
money, and what you may be earn
ing all the time you arc waiting to
grow large enough to earn a 'ortune.
The Bible tell us that "a good name
is rather to be chosen than great
riches and loving favor rather than
silver or geld." A good name docs
not mean a name of being the richest
man in town, or owning the largest
house. A good name is a name for
doing good deeds ; a name for wear
ing a pleasant face and carrying a
cheerful heart; for always doing
right, no matter what we my be.

Wearing; flannel.
lne majority of people are not
aware of the beneficial effect of wear
ing flannel next to the body, both in
com ana warm weatner. rlannel is
not so uncomfortable in warm weath
er as prejudiced people believe. Fre
quent colds and constant hacking
coughs nave left me since adopting
flannel garments. There is no need
of a great bulk about the waist.which
condemn the wearing of flannel with
those who prefer wasp-waists to
health, for in that case the flannel can
be cut as loosely-fitting waists, always
fastened at the back. There are
scarcely any of the bad effects of sud
den changes of weather felt by those
who wear flannel garments, and the
mothers especially should endeavor
to secure such for their little people,
in preferance to all those showy out
side trimmings which fashion com
mands. When the I'residcnt parly left
Toleda last week, a young gentleman
and two ladies who were invited in
to the special car to spend a few
minutes in conversation prior to its
departure, not noticing the signal for
tbe train to start, soon found them
selves involuntary traveling toward
Cleveland. The I'residcnt, seeing
their embarrassment, invited them to
accompany his party to Cleveland,
which they did. On arriving there,
they went with the President's party
to the Kennard House, amid the
plaudits of the multitude. 13ut a
new difficulty now arose, for the
young man had not money enough to
pay the fare of himself and compan
ions back to Toledo. Tbe President
divined this trouble also, and inqur
inginto the mattcr,came to their relief
by offering them a $50 bill. It was
accepted, and in due time the party
arrived at home. i
