His experiments with the culture of buckwheat has proven the relative value of the different varieties. For instance, on one occasion he sowed one acre of tho old fash'oned buck wheat, o'ie aero of Silver Hull, Mid two acres of Japanese. The (vil and other conditions were the same, but the two acres of Japan ' iM yielded 44 bushels; the one i. ci o of Silver Hull, 15 bushels, unci tho one aero of the old fash ion' d kind, butlO bushels. Grow- in,; sido by side, the straw of the Milver hull was about a foot taller ihautho Japanese, but what it makes up in straw it loses in grain.

' A Source ot Dktase It not Properly Cleansed and Frequently Renewed. 1 hough apparently insignifi cant, nothing is more important in ttie home or conduces more to the health and comfort of . the family, than the careful washing of the dishes and proper care ot cloths and towels why, dealh, in the form of typhoid germs, has been known to lurk in an unclean dishcloth ! Therefore, says Med ical Talk for the Home, when ser vants are employed Ihey should be required to wash, scald and hang them to dr7 out in the sun, since in the summer time they will quickly sour. "Any old thing" is often selected for this important purpose, even to old socks, and by housewives who deem themselves the "pink ot neatness." The writer prefers porous material, and nothing is more so than mosquito netting. Fold the siime four or more thick, jesses and quilt with coarse thread. Being such inexpensive goods, a new dishcloth may often be obtained. Some housewives place dish cloths and towels in the regular weekly washing; but this seems uncleanly to the writer. Would we not deem it very unclean to usehaud towels and underwear after having been used a week to wipe one's dishes ? Then why is it cleanly to throw dish towels in with such soiled hings, and then wash them together ? A sep arate washing for table linen and dish towels is by far the better way. Indeed, to lhe writer a large basket of soiled clothes, many ot which contain loul eman ations (if not real disease) from the body, is unpleasant, but doub ly so if tablecloths, napkins aud dishcloths are imbedded therein. A twine dish mop does very well for glass and chiniware, but cannot answer for a quantity of cooking utensils. Some prefer a wiro dishcloth for kettles. T!;e writer finds the average domes tic averse to washing the outside of skillets and kettles, hence, they see no reason for using a separate dishcloth. They also strenuously object to rinsing said utenils, notwithstanding that they are usually washed after all of the other dishes. A Touching Story is the saving from death of the baby girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cum berland, Md. He writes: "At the age of 11 months, our little girl was in declining health, with se rious throat trouble.and two phy sicians gave her up. We were al most in despair, when we resolv ed to try Dr. King's New Discov ery for consumption, cough? and colds. The first bottle gave re lief; after taking four Dottles she was cured, and is now in perfect health." Never fails to relieve and cure a cough or cold.
