Thistas been called the lazy farmer's crop, perhaps from the story of the man who was intending all summer to break up a summer fallow, to sow with wheat in the fall. Failim? in this, bv nefflect- 0 r j c ing to plow and prepare the ground at the proper time, he concluded to wait till spring ui.d plant with corn, rut was ton late, again, and anally endtu by turning the ground over and scratchinp- in a lit tle buckwheat. . Now, while buckwetihat s narticularlv adapted to this class of slack at farmers, that there are also some advan tages connected with its culture which we way commend to some who do not in clude Jhemselves in this category.

Beside, where other crops h :u:ch ' or on a spare acre or , good farmers will, sometin;Os.learw with out much of anything growing on. P places in the cornfield where th.e blac.c- grub, or wire-worm, or wet, nas ow ed the corn, a little buckwheat miv of ten profitably be sown, to prevent the ut ter barrenness of the year. We know there are some objections to buckwheat as unfitting the land for sub sequent crops. We have heard, from good authority, that corn or barley will not do well after it; but we cannot say from experience. Oats will grow after it, as we know, but they, or whatever else you raise, will be liable to have a good deal of buckwheat mixed with them and this we consider the great objection its culture, as it sometimes remains in the ground two or three years, i nis may oe partially prevented by fall plowing, after the crop is taken off, but some will still come up next spring. For these reasons we would not advise the sowing of our best frrain land, especially since wheat has aain bscome a possibility. We feel, indeed, a good deal like a substantial farmer of our acquaintance, who counts his acres by the hundred, who was lamen ting last year that he could not have any land to spare for a buckwheat patch, and thought he must hire an acre or two of one of his neighbors for that purpose ! He evidently had land enough for any quantity of buckwheat, but did not want to use it for that. Wre must, however be permitted to rejoice that everybody is not so careful of their land as he is, or as we should be ! Beside, there are, on al most every farm, low, wet places, or patches of ground too ooor to raise any thin" else, which will do very well for buckwheat. And, friends or iarm im provements as we are, we must still hope that the day is not far distant when our land is so thoroughly improved, that our farmers can not afford a patch to raise buckwheat pancakes. We take that all lack for we hive just remembered that they can sow good land and raise all the more !l The first week in July is the proper time to tov buckwheat. June sowing would be best if we could be certain not to have hot. dry weather, just as it was filling ; and late sowing is objectionable because of early frosts. Last year, how ever, if we remember rightly, the fore pari of July was very dry, so that buck wheat came up till about the seventeenth or eighteenth, and even then, would hare done very well if frosts had held off as late as usual in the fall ; therefore, with a good season, the middle of July might not be too late to sow. From the Korth Carolina Planter. Reproduction bj Propagation. There are 4 principal modes of repro duction in propagation, namely : 1. 'Lay ering. 2. By cutiiDgs. 3. By grafting. 4. By inoculating. t or-rmtr mnsists in bending down the branches, limbs, or suckers, without sep arating them from the parent plant, and covering them with soil : their extreme eni3 being lett out. lnus buried, tasy will gsnsrally strik root ; some particular trees, however, with extreme difficulty. Su:h must be tongued an operation that consists in cutting the layer half off, and splitting it up an inch or more ; the cleft to be kept open by a small wedge, and buried beneath the surface. This oper ation should be performed in the Sprang:; and the plant, when well rooted, maybe separated in the autumn or spring follow ing. . By Cuttings. There are many plants that may be raised from cuttings. For trees", cuttings should generally be from eight inches to a foot in length, cut off at the bottom, close below an eye, and planted in a. humid soil, two thirds of their length beneath the surface, and the ground trodden hard. With some par ticular kinds, however, it is necessary to square the bottom of the cutting, and press it hard down to the bottom of a pot. Other kinds must be planted in pure sand, and protected from the sun till it-is rooted. They require artificial heat in the soil, and a confined atmosphere, that moderates their transpiration. Grafting consists in placing a branch or twig of one vegetable upon another, in a way to cause the branch or twig to produce anew plant, with more valuable products. The plant grafted upon is cal led the "stock;" the plant grafted, the "scion." Grafting is particularly useful to perpetuate certain vegetables, that are by nature enilowed with peculiar proper ties, that would be lost were the plant continued by means of the seed. Professor Thouin has described forty modes of grafting: we will describe but three cleft grafting, grafting by ap proach, and root grafting. Cleft Grafting This mode of graft ing i usually practised on stocks of from one to two inches in diameter. It is thu3 performed : The head of the stalk is cartfully sauvd off, at a part free frum knots, and the top pared smooth. With a thin knife, split down the stock through the center, to the depth of about two inch es; insert a wedge to keep it open for the reception of the scion. The scion i3 to be prepared in the form of a wedge, with an eye, if possible, in the upper part of the portion thus formed. Per fect success is the most certain when this is the case. The scion is now carefullv inserted, so that the upper bark of the scion, and the inner bark of the stock, may both exactly meet. In large stocks, sometimes four scions are inserted. The whole is now to be carefully covered with the grafting clay, except two or three eyes of each sion. Grafting by Approach. This is often resorted to with plants ihat succeed with difficulty by other modes. The limb or ,limb3 of each plant, which are to be thus uin.'ted, must be prepared with a long. slopi'S cut, of several inches, nearly to the cfcier J an( tne part of each, thus orepareii are to be brought together and firrnv secured hy a bandage, so that the bark shall exact.1 meet on at least one side ; they are theri covered, at the junc tion,' -with c.'ay or com" oosition. When a complete unio.o has tairert place, the trees are separated with a knife, by cutting off the scion below the junction, U.nd cutting off the stock above. Root Grafting. This operation is of ten performod on grapevines, just be.'ow the surface of the earth by the usual mode of cleft-grafting. It is also performed on portions df root where suitable stocks are scarce From the Uural New Yorker. 3!y Star. When I was a child, my mother was wont to sit with me at the twilight hour, telling me, perchance, a fairy tale, or a story of children good little children of the olden time. Sometimes she spoke to me of the b3tter land our brighter home bidding me seek it aright. Oh! at those twilight hours good angehcame very near us so near I fancied I could almost hear their singing, almost see their lovely forms hovering above us- One evening in the autumn time, my mother, who had grown pale and thin of late, sat by the open door, idly, even sady watching, while day furled her red ban ners in a soft, purple haze, and thin stars came out in Heaven's blue vault. Then she called me to her, asking me which of all the stars I loved the best. I rais ed my finger, pointing to the evening s&r the first to shine when they day has fled. Aye, love it ever, my child; may it be truly a light to thee, cheering the dark hours of hfe, guiding thee at last to thy mother, and thy heaven. She passed from earth, my gentle mo ther. Childhood had for me one great sorrow, one crushing grief. Everywhere I missed her who had made existence a charmed thing to me ; but nowhere, and at no time, did I so sorrow for her loss as at the twilight hour. . Then would a desolation come over me, a sense of fear ful' loneliness At this time I looked upon my star, pure, bright, and beautiful. The words of my mother came over my soul like some forgotton thing, charming its very sadness, t fancied through the stars Ae looked upon me, spoke to me, and her words were peace. A new joy stole into my sad heart, a trust, a confi dence. Another spell was thrown around my star, it had comforted me in sorrow. A weary way hath been mine since then, but a holy thing my star hath been tome. It hath charmed away my sor row, it hath inspired my soul to high and holy endeavor.it hath been to me a friend constant and true. For many years I have loved it, glimpses of gbry my soul hath caught whib gazing upon it, aye, it hath well nigh forgotten earth, its care3 and its sorrows, longing to go thence to its home, the spirit's home. Oh, more than prophet or preacher, hath my star spouen to me ct tne better land. It hath taught me that away, far away, there k rest for the troubled soul, there is joy for tne sorrowing, here is love for the des olate and uriloved, there is a long home for the homeless. Thither hath my spirit turned with, earnest longings, oyous in the hope that the journey shall be ended at last; aye, I know that one right holy stars snail gleam upon a new-made grave. one morning, God willing, the gates of neaven shall be opened.that one of earth's weary ones may enter with rejoicing. From the Country Gentlaman. RcadyOIade Yeast. Perhaps our lady readers may not un derstand the best method of havin rood reajy made teast always on hand. We invariably have bread made from the yeast cakes prepared as follows ; Put in to three pints of water a handful cf hops and nearly a quart of pared potatoes cut into small pieces. Boil for half an hour and strain while scalding hot into suffi cient flour to make a stitf batter. Stir it well adding one tablespoonfull of yeast and set it in a warm place to rise. When light mix it stiff with Indian meal roll out thin and alt into round or square peices. Dry these and keep them in a bag in a dry place. They will remain good or moaths. liefore using, take one of these cakes for each medium-sized loaf soak in warm water till soft, and add a teaspoonful of soda for three or four yeast cakes. Add this to the flour with warm water, and raise in the usual manner. Some put the light yeast without adding the Indian meal into close iar s or ugs, and use as needed. It will not keep many weeks by this method. . Liquid Glue. The following recipe, the discovery cf a French chemist is selling about thg country as a secret at various' prices from one to five dollars. It is a tandy and valuable composition as it does net gelatinize nor undergo putrefaction , and fermentation and become offensive, and can.be used cold for all necessary pur poses cf glue in making or mending fur niture or broken vcssles that are not ex posed to water. ... - . Ina wide mouthed bottle dissolve eight ounces of best glue in a half pint cf water , by setting it in a vessel of water and heating it till dissolved.
