AGRICULTURE. 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 ed in bius or in the granary A dry, li 0breezy day should be chosen for the th -asling. If the tilrlIlshing- inuclilie Is used, tile concave shouid be reinovel, and a piece of smooth plank put in its plaee, else much of tile graiin will be broken and lost. If the straw I. at. all daml1p, It should be fied into the Illachine slowly, otherwise it Is ntef to winld around tle cylinder anid give tronible. The grailn shoulid be cleaaned from tie chafi' soon after threshing, 1s there is much dainger of heating and mouldi ng by which thle quality nad yield of' the flour will be greatly lessened. Thie lirat buckwheat flour Iin ile m1a1ket. brings tihe bst price, and it is not tinl usual for tile price to fall onic11 ,alii i few days, Iftert tile irst denllilld for new flour lLs been Iet. It, Is a crop to dispose of as s1on as possible, at leasi. as regards that, portloii iteiilcd for sale. M hen taken to the in ill for grind ing, a dry, windy day should bochosen, and the best (ual1lity ol' flour Can be made only in such weatllelr; Indeed, few millers wIll grind tiis grain, kin less obiged to do so, il aniy othler weath. er but that, described.

White birch 18 largely used IiI tills nanufacttre, and as extensive forests if tills wood grow throughout tile State of Maine, Canada and the Provinces nanty spool factories are located in those ections in order that supplies of ma erIal may be easily procured. The vood after being delivered to the fac orles, is first sawed into pieces about our feet long and from an inch to an nch and a halt' sqttare, according to he size of the spool it Is reqaired to nake. These pleco3 are put into a tdry kouse and thoroughly dried, from vhence they are taken into the factory and given to the ''rotghiers,'' who in m Incredible short space of tilo bore Shole In the center a couple of Inches le), turn about the same space round, mid thien cut oi' the length required for 1 ;pool. The machines used for this >ttrposi are revolving planers, in the enter of' whiclh is a revolving gimlet or >t, and immediately to the right a mall circular saw with a gauge set to lie proper size' of the spools. Tie 'roughers'' receiro a cent and a half >er gross for their work, and exper ieed mnen can turn out from 100 to 130 rross per day. The round blocks pass rom theit to the 'llnish1ers,' 11Wto )lace thei In machines whici gives hem the shape of spools and makes hein quite smooth. A man stands with its left hand on a small lever, and with he right places the blocks, one at a time, in the lathe, then draws the le ,er toward him for an instant and the vork is done; tile lever is pushed back and the spools drop down Into a box >clow, while the right hand is ready vith another block. Theso blocks are tandled at tle rate of twenty-live to hirty per minute. Tio "lnibhers'' al o receive a cent and a halt' per gross, aud they cani each turn out from 100 to .30 gross per day. The spools are then brown loosely into a large cylinder, vhich revolves slow ly so that the spools Lre polished by tile constant rubbing Ilion each other for some time. On eing taken out of the cylinder they are >laced in a hopper with an1 opening at ,be bottom through which they pass lown a slide for inspection. Here the nspector sits and watches closely to ce that no imperfect spools are allow ,d to pass, and a very small knot or crateh is suflicient to condemnit them. L'he spools then pass into the hands of he packers, who handle then very Ively. They are packed in large box 13 made the proper size, so that the ayers of spools exactly 1111 the box, and 1o additional packing, and a smart boy vile is aecustomed to tihe work can pack uhoult 200 gross pecr day.'
