Buck-Wheat, Or Brank, is hardly known in this country. It is used on the Continent, and the horses are said to thrive on it. Young says that a bushel goes farther than two of oats, and that, mixed with at least four times as much bran, one bushel will be full feed for any horse for a week. The author of the Farmer's Calendar thinks he has seen it produce a stupifying effect; and Bracy Clarke says it appeared to him to be very laxative. In Holland, and many parts of Germany and Norway, it is made into a black bread, with which the horses are fed.
