IHAltVSTING BUCJKwilA . - Buck
wheat, bdir;g'casily grow'n. succeeding
on poorly-prOpared sol1, viving ia quick
return, and goerally-.yiolding a re
munorative harvest, is A favorite crop
with inexperienced farmers. Still, It
requires peculiar treatiment in the Iar
vesting, and those wiho are not, acqualin
ted Nitl it are apt to make imistakes.
It requires cutting before it is fully
latured; and its habit of throwin gout
blossoms at the top itiitil killed 6 yi"bst
is apt to mislead. When frost is expec
tedl the crop should be cut, and nmany
immature grains will become perfect,
ilntLite few4 days during which it is dry
Ing Un the fiud. Wheziever the lower
branches are well loaded with ripe
grains, it may be cut. This should be
done with the cradle, atd while tile
it iks are damp with dew or mioist tafter
a shower. The grains aire loosely at
tached to their stalkq, and are easily
shaken off in the cuttjing or raking, tnt
lers these are carefully done. After
the swatlbs have Minl for a few days for
the grains to ripen, the buckwheat is
ritked ip Into bunchies, and these are
set, up in gavels oe loose stacks, witlhout,
being bonuid, the tops heint gathered
logether asg mluch ats possible. Inl this
cOldition tle crop remilailns until it is
thrashed. As ; heats very rapidly, it
shiould never be put - into a Stack, nor
stowed away in It barn. as has beeni
soneilmes '.oie by inexperience'l far
ners. When the buckwhieat Is sufil
iently cured and dry, and the unripe
.rains have matnirod, it may be thrash
ed by treading out with horses, with
the flail, or the thireslihig machinc.
it is frequently threshed in the field by
milking abed of clelIy-'wept grothid,
and beating the swept surface ias hard
ILs possible wvit a raiimer lmade of
plank. The gavels are plIaced in a cir
le upon tle bed thus pretiared, the
heads toward ti- center, and to i depth
of two feet. A pair of horses are rid
den around over the bed utntil the straw
Is freud from the grail ; when it is re
Imioved and a newA' be'l is laid down.
When the whole has been thus tram
pled out the straw is raked off, th fan
ning-mill Is brought out, and tie gralin
cleanled tip at once. 'When the grain
has been cleaned, It can not he safely
put away until It has been well dried,
or It will heat and spoil. It should be
spread unob a (ry-floor inu,an lalry shed
or barn,. and tuited over ropeatedly
until It is dry, an1d theti it may be stor

used, tile concave shouid be reinovel,
and a piece of smooth plank put in its

broken and lost. If the straw I. at. all
daml1p, It should be fied into the Illachine
slowly, otherwise it Is ntef to winld

The grailn shoulid be cleaaned from tie
