will be remedied, and that it will assume its former position as 
one of the farmer's best crops. 
Buckwheat. — When we saw the fields white with the blossoms 
of this crop, and the liberal harvest that followed, we supposed it 
would be so plenty, as almost to glut the market. But the great 
quantity raised, was soon disposed of at a very liberal price, and 
now taking all things into consideration, we conclude that it will, 
for a few years at least, be a staple crop with many of our farm- 
ers. It certainly has many claims to cultivation, aside from the 
market price of the grain it yields. For subduing tough, and 
cleansing foul and weedy lands, this crop, taking the labor neces- 
sary for its cultivation into account, is without a parallel. 
In the matter of fruit, apples and pears have given a good har- 
vest, and are receiving increasing attention from the hand of the 
farmer. Plums have not been abundant, owing probably to the 
circumstance of the trees bearing so heavily the previous years. 
It will be seen by the foregoing remarks, that increasing atten- 
tion is being paid to plowed crops. Wisdom is leading the farmer 
to this, by teaching him that policy as well as the greatest degree 
of independence, require him to raise on his own farm as far as 
may be the products to be consumed thereon. Many too, who 
have long been in the habit of appropriating their lands altogether 
to grass, are finding from experience that they can keep more 
stock, when they plant some corn, and carefully secure the fodder 
it yields, and raise some grain, in doing which, they restock their 
land to gi-ass, than they could when grazing was the exclusive 
employment. The system of rotation is wisely adapted to our 
wants, and when properly carried out, is full of consequences most 
interesting to the careful and patient cultivator of the soil.

A Camanche Horse. — It is said that a Camanche horse raised on 
the Prairies, will do more, and go faster, fed on Prairie grass, than 
any other horse. It takes them a long time to find out what corn
