Mr.. Buchanan responded to the Convention by tel

Mr. Buchanan has received the resolution of the
Consolidated Convention of the New York Democra-

this way. Long and cheapsheds, made
for this purpose solely, would ne doubt
be profitable structures.
Next to this, the best way is to bald
small and numerous stacks, only large
enough for single circular layers Of
bundles of fodder, placed with the tops
to the center, and built up round an
empty barrel (which is drawn up by a
c~ross-handle as the stack ~progresses,)
thus leaving a hole in the center for a
chimney. If the stalks are sailed, and
are placed sloping upwards towards the
chimney hole, no injurious heating viii
take place. There must, of course, be
a thin straw cap placed over this hole
to keep out heavy rains. The diameter
of such stacks would be six or eight
feet.
All this may be regarded as trouble
some; but it is worth some trouble to
find a good way to secure a kind Of
food, better than hay for COWS when
UeU cured, and yielding three or four
times as much per acre, with very little

n BoRER---PEACH 3 A
From the Country Gentleman.

MEssRs. EDITORs-I wish to ask the
best means. if there is any, for the ex-
termination of Borers in trees, and the
mode of treatment to trees, that have
been affected by them. Also what is
best to plant in a peach orchard, that
is, what wouldbe apt to thrive the best,
and prove most advantageous to the
trees. A. G.-Ashland, Mass.
The borer, which perforates the wood,
andintime makes it like honey-comb,
killing the tree, may be destroyed by
punching it to death in its. hole, with
small flexible twigs. The peculiar
crushing sound will show when the
insect Is reached. We have known
many badly affected trees restored in
this way. They must be timely and
constantly watched. '9The price of
fruit trees is eternal .vigilence." 1t
is saba mixture of a pint of sulphur,
a gallon of soft soap, and enough tobac-
co-water, to softenit to the consistence
Of paint, will exclude the borer, if ap-
piled before it enters.
Exclude all grass and -sowed grain
crops from peach orchards-potatoes
turnips, and beans will do pretty well,
but a clean, mellow, bare surface, made,
by blowing and narrowing issbest.

HARD WATER FOR WASHING BUTTER

At one of the discussions heldduring
the meeting of the New York State
Agricultural, at Elmira, last fall, Hon.
A. B. Dickson spoke Of making butter
on limestone soils, and was understood
to say that the first quality of butter
could not be made in such. situations.
From a late communication in the
Country Gentleman it appears that his
position is modified OF defined to this
effect: "that no first quality Of butter
could be made on limestone land, when
the water was hard with which the but
ter was washed" This, Of course,
very much alters the case. That the
washing of butter in lime-water INJURIES
the favor and keeping qualities of
butter is well known. Even the use of
limestone or marble tables for working
butter has been given up, because it
was found that the acid of the butter
milk decomposed the stone, which being
incorporated with the butter deteriora-
ted is quality. The bad effects of lime
in salt, used either for butter or meat,
is a fact with which many are familiar.
We once knew a trial made by washing
a part Of a lot of butter made at n
churning, in hard water, and working
the remainder without washing at all.
The unwashed kept best.

WARN DRINK FOE COWS.

/. My COW dropped her last calf Au-
gust27, 1855. At the age of four weeks
it was taken away. She then gave
fourteen quarts of milk daily, and con
tinued to do SO as long as the warm
weather lasted. When Iput herin the
barn for the winter, l adopted the fol-
lowing plan for feeding, namely: One
pint cob meal, one pint rice meal, and
one quart shorts, with one half-bushel
cut hay, twice a day. The quantity of
milk decreased daily, till she gave but
seven quarts. l had allowed her all
this time to drink from a tub in my
yard.
concluded to adoptanother method.
About the middle Of December, / fed
her in this manner: One pint of oil
meal, one pint cob meal, one quart
shorts, mixed with hot water in the form
of a swiIl, after standing half an hour.
[ gave it to hermorning andnight, and
and half-peck Of carrots at noon. All
the water. she drinks is warmed in the
proportion of one quart of warm water
to one pailful of cold. At present, she
gives ten or twelve quarts daily. Her
dry hay is English. rowen and husks,
in equal quantities.-F. E. BIGELoW,

rLRnrNEss OF PLuMs.

Is the Mclaughlin plum harder than
the Jefferson or Autumn Gage? Last
fall bought about ZOO. fruit trees, and
among the lot were a few plum trees.
Inow fndthe Jefferson and Autumn
Gage are dead, and the Mclaughlin
alive. j. PERINE.-NorWich, CT.
Much depends on circumstances, as
to the hardness Of. plums. Sometimes
a wet summer will keep up the growth
and prevent proper ripening of the
wood, and in such cases comparatively
mild winters have occasioned more In
Jury than the most severe on well ma
tured shoots. Again, those on wet
spots of ground win be more injured
than on drier. We have never known
the Lombard plum tree to be the least
injured by cold-it appears. to be as
hardy ass sugar maple. The Red Gage
is also harder than most others. NJ
Laughlin has generally proved. about
as hardy as the Jefferson. The I'm
perial Gage, Columbia, Lawrence Gage,
'Huling's Superb, Red Diaper, Wash
ington, and others, are rather more
liable to injury. The observations of
others, IN probation to this subject, would
doubtless be interesting G0alltry

For HEEyEs IN HoRsEs.-In ans
wer to an ihquiryin the Country Gent
from E. R. Brown, in referencetOheave
in horses, 1 would advise the using .oi
cut straw quite freely; wet the straw
after. cutting, mix ON corn and oat meal
feed no hay-feet oat straw as heyis
fed from racks. The oats should be
cut as early aspossible. and not to injure
the grain for market-straw to be kept
from. rains as much as possible, and
taken to the barn bright. More grain
has to be fed, and may be, as straw is
much cheaper. than hay to feed. When
the weather is too cold to feed wet
straw, -oat and straw may be fed. A

CURING CoRN-FoDDER.-The inquiry.

shall we cure corn-f0dder withoutheat-
ing or moulding? In answer to the
hnestion of w. ]. Pettee, the. writer can.
hate that he has. raised corn-fodder in

tried various ways of curing, Begin
ners are often deceivedin one point
They think the fodderperJecay dryoObcn
Il Is not. Fodder sown early, SO as to
be cut before autumn, may have two or
three weeks of hot weather for drying
it; the leaves may be excessively crisp,
but the stalks viii be juicy inside; and
this water or juice is sufficient to. spoil
any stack Of stalks, when they settle
.compactly together in a large mass
We have oftentried placing the, stalks
in large shocks in the field, and leaving
them there till wanted in winter. This
is safe, but is not the best. way. All
the outer stalks ecome weather beaten,
dry, and comparatively valueless-but
it is much better than to let them spoil
in stacks. IF the shocks could be made
quite large, and capped withrye straw,
adecided Improvement would doubtless
be made The best way would be to

the floor of the loft of poles placed
several inches apart, and then.deposit-

poles, in one thickness, or as closely
together as they could be placed. The
ventilation would be ample, and green
