VOL. LIX. INDIANAPOLIS, JUNE 18, 1904. -/-.^•.Y > .-. Y. NO 25. GROWING AND HARVESTING BUCKWHEAT. Buckwheat Makes the Soil Mellow- lst Premium.—One of the best crops to improve aad mellow up soil is a crop of 'buckwheat, ami it has an advantage over sonie crops in that it is planted in th(_ middle of the summer, making it possible to plant and harvest a crop of early stuff before it is sowed. Buckwheat has a greater effect mpon the soil with a single crop than any other plant we ever raised; that is, in making the soil mellow _nd easy to work. It is a near relative to the clovers and it increases the fertility of the soil as they do. Before the buckwheat is planted the seed bed should lie made in as good condition as possible. We sow it broadcast, nndplowit in with a light plow or harrow*, making it about the same depth as oats or wheat. We sow about the 20th of June. In harvesting buckwheat wo use a mowing machine, cutting it when it is a little damp, so it will not shatter off too badly. It is left until most of tho seed are ripe, or until frost. If the weather is not right, then the buckwheat will not set good, but as a rule it produces ,a fail- crop. The easiest -way to thresh it would be to use a threshing machine, but we never had enough at one time to do that, So we beat it out by hand. Buckwheat yields on an average about 15 bushels per acre. One of the side issues is the honey obtained from tlie bloom. It is a crop that should be grown for that purpose alone, where there are a great number of bees. At that time of year, flowers for the bees are scarce. As a genera] thing the weeds are nearly all cut dow-n in the country, making it hard on the bees uuless some crop is sown for that purpose. And the bees are necessary for crops of fruits. I think it will pay any man to sow buckwheat. Howard Co. C. B. Premiums of $1, 75 cents, 50 cents are given for the first, second and third best articles for the Experience Department each week. Manuscript should be Bent direct to the Indiana Farmer Company and should reach us ono week beforo date of publication. No. 433, June 25.—Tell how to can and preserve fruits of nil kinds. No. 434, July 2.—Describe the best swinging gates, etc., for small streams. No. 435, July 9.—Tell how to put out shade trees, for town or country. Name best varieties. No. 430, July 10.—Show how our country schools can be improved. I care less for the provisions of lan arbitration treaty than for the treaty itself, limited though it may be at first. I am perfectly willing to begin with limitations, having such faith in this that we can trust to long years of peace, to kins- ship, common language .literature, religion, law to create a public sentiment which will expand the scope of any treaty no matter how narrow it lie at the beginning. And thus it is I soe that however small ihe acorn may be that springs, and we plant from this effort of to-day, it will grow into the mighty oak under whose branches shelter will be found for the seed to germinate which will bring penc- to all nations, and purge the earth of its foulest stain—men killing each other in (battle like wild beasts.—Andrew Carnegie. fXcUiciwxvvL QeptixfauxtfL Edited by L.

Some of the hogs are very loose in the bowels; tho dung of others is like marbles, hard and looks like clay dirt. They get off feed far two or thr.e days and then began to get bettor, but fed a do«e of arsenic ami one of healthiest died in 21 hours, anil others worse again.

Call in some competent vetrinariai. as I can not give treatment from your description. A Moscow journal prints a letter from a Russian soldier at Port Arthur in which the following sentence occurs: "We have given all our guns names. One of them we call Togo, because it makes so much noise, but hasn't hit anything yet." The following advertisement occupies a prominent place in the Gazette (Vo Zurich; "An Austrian officer of the balloon section wishes to marry a lady who will have the courage to make her honey-moon voyagq with him in a balloon." MtixU %Xzxvs. A curious sight on the coast of Java is a long stretch of shore, about twenty- nine miles in length, where the sand is filled with particles of magnetic iron. In some places it is said that the surface sand contains SO per cent of iron. It can bo smelted, and a company has been formed to exploit the deposits. A pendent containing a lock of George Washington's hair and a curl from the head of Martha Washington is exhibited in a collection of relics in the Massachusetts building at the world's fair. These precious mementoes were presented to John Quincy Adams by Nellie Custis, stepdaughter of Washington. "The day will, I believe, come when the sweet potato will furnish tho starch of the world." So said Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the* Bureau of Chemistry in the Agricultural Department, in reply to the appeal of Congressman Brantley, of Georgia, that the Government, having developed the possibilities of the sugar cane syrup industry, should make a somewhat similar study of the sweet potato. Farm laborers in I_ibcria receive from $2.50 to $4.50 a month and rations of rice and fish. Men do all the work done elsewhere by horses, because horses would cost more. The first railway in Iceland probably will be begun soon by an English company recently formed for the purpose of working the sulphur mines at Theisstarey- kir, in the north of .Iceland. The mines are about seventeen miles from Huavik, the nearest harlior, to which the proposed railway will run. CSctieval %txo&. The principal products of the Trebizond province, Turkey, are tobacco, filberts, gum, linseed ,eggs, walnut wood, hazelnuts and wool. While I,. W. Gates, John Gii-ibins, Charles Gass and Joseph Stephans, Muncie, were inspecting oil property at Shide- lcr, and were standing on top of a tank, one of them thoughtlessly struck a match with which to light his cigar. Instantly there was an explosion of gas which deposited them in a heap some distance away, tearing their clothing and covering them with oil. The oil in the tank caught fire,' but was smothered by closing the apertures. While the street commissioner was making his rounds at Fairmount summoning the male residents of the town to work on the streets, at the home of Benjamin Grindle he was attacked by a White Brahma rooster, and it required the com- biii-'d efforts of the two women of the house-hold to "shoo" the fowl away. Tho rooster is very targe, and it displays the savagery of a bulldog, and will not allow any stranger on the premises without a fight. Being armed with extra large spurs, the fowl is dangerous. Thomas B. Reeder, Elwood, member of the famous "Iron Brigade," was wounded in the breast at the battle of Antietam, September 17, 1802, and for 42 years carried tho load in his body, causing lu'm much suffering. I.ast week doctors removed the (bullet. Major Reeder is now feeling much better. The Reeder family liave had 15 years of army service, from Mrs. Reeder's great-grandfather, who was killed by the Indians in Pennsylvania, down to his two sons, who were in- tho Spanish-American war, one of whom was killed near Manila;. Notes from Purdue University. Kditors Indiana Farmer: Commencement week at Purdue University has beei_ of peculiar interest to the agricultural students and it is hoped that its influence will reach out to every farmer in Indiana. On Tuesday evening the Agricultural Society gave a banquet in honor of the liilumni and the friends of the school. Covers were laid for 58 persons, including members of the faculty and tlieir wives, alumni, former short course students, students of the school of agriculturo and friends. At the close of the banquet a number of toasts were given, Prof. J. II. Skinner acting as toastmaster. Responding to one of these toasts, Mr. Will Simons, of the class of 1901, proposed an association of the agricultural alumni and former students, this organization to have for its puj-pose thfc increaso of attendance in the school of agriculture, as well ias building up the interest of the farmera in the work of the experiment station and agriculture in geuieral. The banquet was greatly enjoyed and reflected much credit upon tho Agricultural Society. On Wednesday morning the. alumni of the school of agriculture met and organized an association according to Mr. Simons' suggestion, U. M. Stewart of Madison, was elected president; Will Simons, of Kentland, vice-president and Jl. Ii. Fisher, of (Lafayette, secretary-treasurer. A committee on detail consisting of the officers and Prof. Skinner and A. G. Mace was appointed. This committee will prepare a constitution and by-laws and will report in October, at tho time of the meeting of institute workers. An invitation will be sent out to all former students requesting them to be present at that gathering. Tho graduating class in agriculture this year consisted of nine members. This class and that of 1901 are the two largest classes that have ever graduated in agriculture from Purduo University. The class of 1901 also had nine members. Another gratifying feature of the commencement exercises was the conferring of the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering upon Elwood Mead. Mr. Mead graduated from Purdue in 1S82 and was one of the first graduates in agriculture. At the present time he is irrigation expert for the United States Department of Agriculture as well ias Irrigation Engineer at the California experiment station and lecturer on irrigation in Harvard University. The degree was granted on account of his distinguished services as an irrigation engineer. In consideration: of these events, all lovers of agriculture and the work that Purdue is doing for this cause have reason to congratulate themselves. Purdue University. M. L. Fisher. The census returns for Cape Colony show that the population of the Cape pi-opi-r totals 1.4S5.034 persons, of whom 5-18,920 are white. At the census of 1S91 the total was 1,039,S00, the whites then numbering 3G0,G08. -** ■»■—■♦ ■—— Everett Sutton shot and killed a hawk on the farm of J. W.
