It is a popular idea that buckwheat may be easily grown and is profita ble under careless methods of culture. Henry Stewart, one of our most pro gressive farmers, takes exception to this opinion. Writing to The Country Gen tleman he says: No other crop requires better soil, better seed and more thor ough culture than this for the best re sults, and under poor culture it is no more profitable than wheat or corn or potatoes, either of which will give some return under adverse circumstances if the season be at all favorable. When this crop is grown under as careful cul ture as is given to oats it yields on an average nearly twice as many bushels per acre, and one-half more weight per bushel. A sod is the best ground for it, and thoroughly good harrowing before and after seeding, with good plowing, are all indispensable for a good yield. This crop requires peculiar manage ment in the harvesting. It cannot be stacked or put in the barn, but must be thrashed from the field and the grain cleaned up from the chaff as soon as it is thrashed. If thrashed with a machine the concave should be taken out and re placed with a smooth plank, which an swers every purpose with this easily thrashed grain, the pedicels or stems of which are very weak and easily broken. On this account the grain must be cut in the early morning and late afternoon, while the pedicles are moist and less brittle; otherwise the loss of grain is large. The grain lies in the swath a few days, and when the straw is dry enough it is raked and set up in loose gavels which interlock by the branchy stems sufficiently to hold together, and the grain and straw dry better in this shape. The hauling should be done on a dry, windy day, and to save shelled grain sheets should be spread on the wagon rack. A dry, windy day should also be chosen for the thrashing and also for the grinding, for the flour made in damp weather will not keep well. There is no other grain so absorbent of moisture as this, and consequently care is to be taken all through to prevent the heating of it under all conditions. Mr. Stewart considers buckwheat worth more than oats for feeding and better than corn. When ground with rye or oats it is the very best food for sows with young pigs, and it makes ex cellent and cheap pork from fattened pigs. It is as good a food for sheep and horses and mules and also for cows kept for milk; the sole exception made is for making butter, which is deficient in flavor and color. Tests of -Mr A Fair Agitator Who Is Attacking the Customs of Centuries. Kageama Hidde is probably the most re markable woman in Japan. She is hardly 27 years old, of medium height and f&aJt- less figure, and has great, soulful eyes that are calculated to make all hearts of male Japs palpitate violent responses to their glances. The hearts of male Japs, how ever, have little interest for Kageama Hidde. She considers love and matrimony to be matters of secondary importance in her busy life, and values men above wom en only as more powerful instruments in the accomplishment of her one purpose, the democratising of Japan, for Kageama Hidde is a radical of the radicals, an agi tator of agitators, a kind of Japanese Louise Michel. She is the leader of the radical party that is shaking the aged in stltations of the mikado’s empire, ami from her home in Osaka superintends the organisation of her followers and the spreading of the propaganda. What do Kageama Hidde and her people wish? How do they try to induce others to wish the same? How do they intend to get what they wish ? Kageama Hidde re cently answered these questions with her own pretty, painted Japanese lips. “We desire no central government, but self government. The organization of the party is difficult. As we may not conduct it openly, we conduct it in secrecy. Most of our people are so far behind the tim£M that we consider it best to proceed step by step. The end of it all will be communism or something of the kind. Of the radical movement we know nothing, because our papers are not allowed to print anything about it. Our own views, too, may not be printed here. As the law neglects to for bid the reading of oar works, however, we print abroad as many papers as our limited means allow, bring them here, and dis tribute them among the masses. We are sorry for the Russian nihilists. Louise Michel’s name Is familiar to us, but wc know too little about her views to say whether we Indorse them or not. Most Japanese have very antiquated ideas. Nevertheless we must labor with them if we are to revolutionize our polit ical system, and we most move forward little by little. Thus we conducted our agitation for a parliament, the advocacy of which was once a penal offense. Now we have the parliament we ask for more. We are founding associations or groups for the elevation of the masses and the undermining of the aristocracy. We are calling for a government by the people, in which the lower classes will also partici pate. We wish equal rights for all, and we look for the supporters of this move ment naturally among the working peo ple. They must be won at any price. A small part of the Japanese people is very radical, bat only a small part. I am found; ing schools in which women are educated practically. Our party is called the Lib erty party, and our organization is known as the group system. The present system of government is bound to be upset by us, bat how soon I cannot say.” Kageama Hidde is a schoolmistress by profession. She has already been punished by imprisonment for expressing her radi cal opinions. She is worshiped by the mass of people among whom she elec tioneers, not only for her kindness and cleverness but also for her hnmllity and simplicity of dress. Her hair Is combed straight from her forehead, and lies in a plain twist on the back of her head. Her underskirt is of unadorned dark silk, her overskirt is of unadorned silk of a slightly lighter shade, and the cloth on her head is unembroidered and white.— New York Sun.

A large number of persons and many newspapers of this State were a few 3’ears ago bitter in their denun ciations of Uncle George Tillman be cause be opposed some measures and men then very popular and favored by the then “dominant element.” Time has brought its revenge, as us ual. The same persons and newspa pers who assailed Uncle George so savagely are looking to him now as a deliverer. The same steady, fear less qualities that made him go against the powers that were stay with him now when lie is battling against what looks to be the strong and popular side. An independent, plain speaking, hard hitting, (earless man may be un comfortable sometimes when he is against us, but he comes in mighty well in an emergency. We observe that a good many gen tlemen who used to regard Uncle Geoige as nearly out sidethe party pale and describe him in terms very far from complimentary are carefully keeping out of the hard aud doubtful fight now being fought in this State. Uncle George, W. L. Mauldin and Senator Butler seem to he having their side of the struggle to themselves so far as work on the stump goes. We hope that when this sub-treasury scheme has been beaten and forsaken and the people look back upon it as a disordered dream, there will be re membrance of the fact that it was a real and pressing danger aud that in Soutli Carolina the three men we have named were foremost in stand ing out to fight it.—Greenville News.
