TO FARMERS.

GENTLEMEN,

YOU are well aware of the consequence of being deprived of Indian corn. The probability of that valuable grain being scarce the present year, is too obvious to escape the notice of any one who considers that there is very large quantities of land that was prepared to plant, but hitherto has been so wet and cold, that it was not prudent to do it --and the season is almost too far advanced for Indian Corn to come to perfection even if the weather was now suitable for it. That not being the case, I would recommend as a substitute, Buck Wheat, to be sowed on all your land that is qualified to produce it. Land that is very rich, may be sowed with oats, with a prospect of a good crop --sandy land will produce you Buck Wheat, to nearly the same profit as it would Indian Corn in a good season: It makes good bread, mixed with one third part Rye or Wheat ; it is good to fatten swine and other creatures : In short, whoever has made trial of it, always have experienced its good properties. If you practice upon this advice, it is likely you will rejoice ; but if you neglect it, you will lament when it is too late. This hint is given by one who knows the value of that kind of grain, and would caution you against a scarcity that the cold and wet weather seems to threaten, unless guarded against, by immediately cultivating Buck Wheat and Oats, where the land is suitable

Your Real Friend & Husbandman.
