onion bed before sowing the seed ; a fair crop always 
results. When the corn is about two inches high, he 
applies half a pint per hill, and thinks every bushel so 
used adds a bushel to the crop. It gives good satis¬ 
faction as a top-dressing to grass lands. 
Chautauque Co. Ag. Society— The Fair this year 
is to be held at Fredonia Sept. 21st, 22d and 23d. The 
address will be delivered on Thursday the 23d, by the 
Hon. A. B. Dickinson. We expect a good time. Our 
grounds are almost unequalled in beauty and conve¬ 
nience. We open the door for competition to those 
counties that join us, both in our own State and Penn¬ 
sylvania. We hope to see many from out of our coun¬ 
ty. A. s. M. 
Is Buckwheat an Exhausting Crop ? 
I will give an authentic case coming under my own 
notice, at variance with the usually received theory. 
A neighbor of mine had grown on the same field (and 
a poor field naturally at that) for twenty six years 
consecutively , the above crop with a fair average re¬ 
turn, no other manure having been carried on the field 
than the buckwheat haulm regularly returned. Said 
neighbor having died, the farm came into possession of 
others, who raised in the succeeding years good crops 
of corn, wheat, and clover. Your correspondent “ D. 
S.” is cognisant doubtless of the above facts. 
Practical application : Use buckwheat as a cleaning 
crop. G. E. H.
