My friend, Major Ruff, who is a virtuoso,
lately informed me that many years ago he
saw it stated in French paper, that by
throwing hcmpen rope over the top of a
tree, when in bloom or near the time of
blooming, and by letting its lower end touch
the ground, the tree would thus be protected
from the influence of the frost. This !
thought quite rational and phlosophic; ac-
cordingly made the experiment. To prove
more fully the modus opcrandi took two
dishes halt filled with water, and set them a
few feet distant, under the tree, on the night
before an expected FROST the tree being near
y in full bloom. Throwing the rope over
the top of the tree let the other end hang
in the water of one Of the dishes--the event
proved the correctness of the theory. The re
was hard frost on the morning Of the 9Th
inst. and the dish into which the rope was
deposited, contained ice TO the thickness of
a dollar, while that in the other dish was
scarcely of the thickness of paper.
The philosophy of the above experiment
is this: the rope, which was previously wet
ted, was conductor of heat the air, and OF
course the limbs of the tree became colder in
the night than the earl--,he rope conducted
the heat from the earth to the tree, thus keep
ing up an equilibrium and preserving the
tee from frost.
is far as my observation extends, the crit
ical time for fruit is long before it is in BIOS
som; but it is nevertheless true, that severe
and protracted cold at that time, or even la
ter, will destroy the fruit. This was the case
last year. The fruit was killed by severe
frost after it had been formed.
THERE'S not in my mind doubt that by
attachnga rope to each tree of choice fruit
and thus letting it permanently remain
through the winter and spring, that the fruit
would be secured from the effects of frost.
To the incrcdulous and the superciious
who balarce their grst all their lives with
big stone-who, sufficiently wise, despiso
} knowlcdg. and instruction, the above may
appear unworthy their attention. Let sucl
be informed that it is not less phlosophit
, than lighting rods attached to buildings tc
protect Than from the influence of electricity
. let then be informed that

And lay perchance some worshlppcd beauty low;

And love as iondly, faithfully, as now
Should fortune frown on your dcfanceess head,

ORANGE COUNTY BUTTER.

Messrs. STAFFORD q. 7ucker,-I am now
in the rcgim of the celebrated Goshen but
ter and asl have frequently heard the ques-
ton asked why Goshen butter sells for six
or eight centsa pound more than that of 9TH
er good butter regions, have concluded to
give you ,lnresult of my inquiries as to the
method Of making butter here.
lst. The milk house or cellar should be
under ground, and entered through a door on
the north or cast, with stone or earth bot
tom, and two or tree windows, with such
shutters as to entirely exclude the rays of
the sun. A back celia. should he made.
dark ond cool, with one snnll window to
keep the butter in. Thousands .nf ,ubs Of
good butter are spoiled for want OF 9 good
cellar to keep them in.
Cd. The milk is put into shallow tin pans,
with pint Of cold water in IA pan, and set on
tie bottom Of the cciiar, where it remains
till it is thick SO thick that when it is cut or
broken, whey will appear. II must By no
means stand till achey rises and stands be-
fmeen the milk nua. cream-To a barrel OF
milk, Que pail full Of cold water is added
1t is now churncd, cold or warm water be-
ing added during the process to keep it at
the right temperature. 1.-THE weather is too
cool TO allow the milk to change, little but
ter-mik is put into each pan when it is
strained In very cold weather small box
stove is used to warm the cellar.
3D.. The butter is taken out with ladle
(the hands would warm it and make portions
Of it oily,) washed through cold water twice,
and then sailed with as much salt as will dis
solve, and no more. Let it stand in the tray
on tie cellar bottom only ill it is cool enough
to work. Work the milk out. (This pro-
cess must not be continued too long, till the
butter becomes sticky or oily for from this
state it could not be rccalcd.) Pack it closely
in the tub, and cover il well till the tub is
filled. Then put thin cloth over the butter
and keep ii covered with a strong BRINE till
it goes TO market. The butter cellar should
have little air admitted to proven, mould
To prevent the .frkns from moulding, they
should be set SO as not to touch the wall
and in ccry damp cellar, on a board an
inch from the bottom.
This is the result careful inquiry and
whether this is the best method or not, the
butter is certainly the best ever tasted
The best Oneida or Chenango butter that
have seen is not equal to it. But why should
it not be ! The county is certainly as good
GreM care must be used to make and pre-.
serve good butter in any place. Sixpenco
a pound will pay for this care. Why will
not all our farmers strive to secure this six
pence
Yours sincerely,
J. EDMUNDs.
Z. S. In kneadng the butter, il shout,
be SIMPLY pressed with the ladlc, and no
cut or rubbed. Pressing it will make it sol
in; while rubbing or cutting it vii! make i

LOG,

Now, what IA. mer is there, who could not
afford to appropriate half an acre for this
purpose! But besides this, he would have
safe yard for bis hogs when they are dispos-
ed to trespass. Their value in fruit gar
den, as destroycrs of insects, is of great ac-
count. The proprietor of one, where hogs
are not permitted, once remarked to us that
much Of the fruit was wormy; and in re-
mote part of our fruit garden, less frequen,ed
by them, the plums and cherries in some
seasons are very inferior, while those which
grow nearer to the trough, are generally free
from such defects.
In some situations, however, where the
fruit garden is to be of greater extent, per-
haps ii might be better to plant the trees in IA
different manner. If placed in rows 30 feet
apart, more or less, and set 5 feet apart in
the rows, the ground between them might be
cultivated with the plough, excepting space
OF 3 or feet in width on each side of the
rows. This might remain as a pasture 70,
the hogs, while peas or any other vegetables
that would furnish food for them, might b,
sown on the cultivated part. Our expert.
ence IN this line would warrant Us IN SAVING
that such system of culture would be eco.

TIE ERUIT GARDEN.

We suspect that but few people are aware
Of the great number of fruit trees that would
grow well Oh half an acre. But it NAV be
easily shown that lot containing that guam
tity of land, would accommodate one nun
drcd trees, if set II feet and 9 inches apart.
1t is true that some of tic kinds which we
shall name, would spread in a few years SO
as to crowd each other at this distance, and
ovcrsIIadow the whole surface Of the ground !;
but We do not think these circumstances
constitute any valid objection to such ar
ran9cmcnt.
Most, if not all, Of our fruit trees require
frequent pruning. BY removing the stunled
branches, and encouraging new and vigorous
shoots, much larger and better favored lrui,
is produced and ii will generally be found
that the most spreading limbs are the most
proper 10 be ampu,a,ed, independent of their
interference with other trees. Not that we
would recommend high training, for it is a
great convenience to have the fruit within
reach, so that neither long pole nor lad
der should be necessary.
The overshadowng of the ground is in
some respects beneficial. The grass will
not be so injurious to the trees; and if hogs
ran within the enclosure, there would be
little to complain of, while their manure
would keep the soil in good condition.
To give our readers, however, clearer
view Of the luxuries winch may thus be
brough, within their reach, and which would
supply them through more than half of the
year, including summer and autumn, we
will mention the kinds that may be accom-.
modated on such piece of land
