BUcHAsAK's EoLUsTEERISG-MR.C CLAY.
The Louisville Journal tells the following
very pungen. snecdo.e, which must have
told with wonderful effect upon the old Fed
eralist of 1919 and 1915. The source
whence il came, too, the immortal Henry
Cisy, whose clarion voice reverbersted
through the republic from centre 20 circum-
,er-nce. summcning the matt ion to arms, to
.:ndcsie the rights and liberties of Ameri-
..n srsmen on the high seas, while James
Buchanan opposed the wsr and denounced
ta.- administration and all those who favored
..,he second war of independence, must
have giysn the retort of the great Ken
iuckian ten fold force:
"Upcn certain occasion in the Z. S
Senate, Mr.. Buchanan, in the course of a
personal explanation, stated that he had
volunteered 10 go 10 | altimore in the last
war with Great Britain when the British at

said Mr.. Clay. 'but understand, that when

Tie iron Weed in Pastures.

Cassius NJ. Clay. writing 10 the Ohio
Farmer, says:
The iron weed. with red blossoms, the
great pest of our pastures, no stock will eat.
1t must be cut till exlermiHated, as any
plant on the earth may be killed by con'in-
ually cutting the tops, which are the lungs
Of vegetables"
Very true; any plant may be extermina'-
ed by continually cutting the tops, but in
mary cases, and the iron weed is one OF
them, it is no. the cheapest way. MIR. Ed
ward Borland OF his county, one of our best
stock rai<er<, and Eho made the first blue
grass pasture in il, gives US the result of his
experience that it would be cheaper to grub
them out. For some fifteen 20 twenty years
he moved the iron weeds in one of his blue
grass pastures, twire each year, sometimes
three times, and with no other result, thar
making the top more slender.
To keep this weed oat the farmer should
adopt rule never to pass by one without
stopping and pulling 1t W.

II IS OUR TURN, NExT.-It is remarkable
fact that within the past twenty years, NO
party has carried the Presidential election
twice in succession.
In 1886 the democrats elected Mr.. Van
Buren, over Gen. Harrison. In 1870 they
renominated Mr.. Van Buren,, then their most
prominent statesman, and were 5ea en-. In
I34i, they abandoned the policy of select
ing statesmen, nominated new and un-
known man named Polk, and elected him.
ls 1913 they had grown sired of taking new
men, fell back Upon tIcfr statesmen, numi=
mated Cass, and were beaten. la 1852 the
statesmen we're thrown overheard, The new
man policy was again tried, Pierce was nom
mated, and elected. In 1856 they have
sgnin grown tired for new men, and have fal-
len back upon their leading state sman, and
as they have beaten every time they have
tried this since been 1886, they are again
destined TO defeat Ii is our turn, now
Parties are too evenly balanced in his coun-
try to permit two successive presidential
triumphs of the same party. Mr.. Bucanan,
like Van Buren, and CasS, is IN the ne OF
safe precedaDts-safe, that is for us.-PiHs.

Green Corn for the Table in Winter

1t is not generally known that this mos,
delicious vegetable may be enjoyed in the
same perfection in winter as in summer
Many troublesome methods are employed
by diligent house-keepers for putting up
this vegetable in summer for winter Use
The result is no more or less successful in
preserving the corn in sufficient favor to
remind US Of this favorite esculent of the
summer.
Several years ago we learned way by
which farmers and gardeners csn provide a
supply of green corn for winter use with no
more trouble than is given TO any other por-
tion of the corn crop. All that is ;e luired
is to plant field Of corn, so late that it will
be in perfect roasting state about the time
OF the first frost. Cut up This corn and
shock it in the field when the frost is expect
ed. Let il remain there, and take the corn
from the stalks every day for use. twill be
as sweet, tender, SEd well favored efter
Christmas ss any corn ever was in July or
August. We have tried the experiment
foa six years in succession, and have f-iled
but once. That failure was last season.
We planted at the time indicated by the
SUCCESS of previous year-upon ground from
which crop Of clover had already been
taken. But the season proved to be SO fine
and the growth so rapid that the corn was
mstured and unfit for the table loEg before
the time to cut it with safety. The disap-
.poiatment might be avoided by planting a
first and second time. The first farmer
who will act upon this suggestion will no.
only provide delightful vegetable for their
families. bu. may secure large profit by
supplying the market gardeners with it,
along through the winter.-LoEisv'He Josr-

ATTEMPT TO FulsT SLAVERY UPON Or

ATTEMPT TO FnlsT SLAVERY UPON ORE
Gox.--The Rochester IN. " Democrat
makes the following remarkable Statement;
awe expect soon to publish communica-
tions from gentleman of the highest in
tel.isc and ol entire reliability. in refer
ence to the purpose of many Of the South
ern settlers in Oregon OF establishing sav
cry there as soon as they can induce ina
juriiy of the people to consent 10 State
organization. But for the Wilnot Provso,
which was incorporated INTO the Territorial
Act, these men would now claim the right.
under the new-fangled doctrine OF the Buch-
anan party that the Constitution tolerates
and protects slavery in the Territories, to
hold slaves in Oregon; and the influence OF
Government would be used to support the
claim.
We learn thst the failure Of the attempt
to organize State Government was in part
owing to Tic fact that the leading schemers
were known to have their plans perfected
for making Oregon slave State. They
have not abandoned thei- purpo-e, but are
nrces ,arily obliged to postpone it until the
presen. Indian difficulties are settled"

Agrltnltural,
NiIlet as Fodder.

To secure variety of fodder ought 10 be
an object of the farmer, SO as to secure a
large amount. Cattle will offer eat fod-
dering Of poor meadow hay with as much
relish as they will the best timothy or clo-
yer; and this is the best evidence of the
necessity of variety. But if, when We furn-
ish variety, we can supply grasses ola nutri-
tive character, that " i'll ut once crafty the
appetite and contribute to the muscular sys-
TEN, then we introduce fitness of things
which will result in profit.
1t seems to be SO much of a settled opin-
ion among farmers, that we shall Continue
to have dry hot summers and short pasture
feed, that all resort to some green fodder 10
make up the deiciency-andEthis resort has
been principally tc green Indian corn. Few
have tried millet; but those who have, like it
and find it profitable crop. But green aid
fed to stock, it is one of the best soiling crops
we have-and made into hay cattle cat it
with as n.uch avidity as they will our best
grasses.
The mode of culture is simple and easy
The ground should be rich or at least in
good condition, finely pulverized, and sowed
with seed about the first OF June, using
eight quarts to the acre; we have never used
more than this amount, and found it amply
sufficient. When sowed Us late as the
tenth of June, it is not ne. .essary to cut il
until after the rye and wheat crops are har-
vested, ard the press of wo is over. Ii is
somewha. difficult TO cure il, as it is a heavy
succulent plant. Cut it when the blossoms
are just closing, and make it as clover hay
is usually made. Hay caps may be used to
great advantage in securing this crop. as i,
is necessary that it should be out two OF
three nights. A few square rods left to RI
pen will furnish an abundance of seed for
another weary Y. Farmer.

The ELECTION OF Mr.. BUCHANAN TO
FAsTEN SLAVERY IN KAHsAs-The Get
t.sburg (Pa) Star calls attention to the
fact that after Buchanan was nominated, the
Loco focos of Richmond, Virginia, had n rat
ifcation meeting at which Henry A. Wise
made a speech. in this speech he urged as
main reason why Buchanan should be
elected, that his election would result in the
admission of Kansas as Slave State, which
would open a. new market for Virginia
negroes and largely increase the profits of
the traffic and The yalGe of the article
Und'r this view, we expect much of the
South to 90 for Buchanan. But will virtu-
Gus, respectable. human Christian people in
the North to vote for a man whose election
is to give new impetus to The abomnable
and unholy trade in human beings, as good
be fore God, as James Buchanan or Henry
a. Wise. Let no man who votes for James
Buchanan, with this fact before him, ever
dare to talk to his neishbor about Christian
ity, love of freedom or regard for the De-

The Border Ruifian papers say that Buch-
anan is s'sound" and 60 for him with enthu-
sasm, and their views are endorsed by the
Charlestown Mercury, which in its edition OF
July Sd, says: "How any one, aquanted
with our political history for the last twenty
years, and the course OF public men during
thar period, can now arraign Mr.. Buchana as
unsound upon the question of slavery, we are
wholly at loss to conceive" The Mercury
holds that in politics the question now is;
6 Is Mr. Buchanan sound on the slavery ques-
tion!" and answers the awful interrOgatory
thus:
1t would be enoush to show that, from the
first day Mr.. Buchanan came into Congress
to the present time, he had never given a
vote or uttered word, hostile to the insti-
tu'ion Of slavery or which could possibly
give encouragement to abolitionism. But

A Fact in Regard to Drilling Wheat

We with 10 record a fact which seems
rather remarkable in regard to drilling
wheat We sowed about nine acres last
fall, with one of Ross drills, and some three
acres among corn, with three shovel cult
vator. O! the former, we have not noticed
a single plan; heaved out with frosts during
the winter, through part of it was so"n
on the poo; est clay land of the farm, with
but oae blowing. 1t was sown lmmedi-
ateiy before that among the corn, and pre-
sented in the winter a decidedly poor pros
pect. But that sOwn among the corn Is
badly killed with the winter, many plants
lying on top Of the ground, dead. In some
places i; seems almost entirely ruiLed. II
is the same kind Of wheat as that which
was drilled. Our readers may draw their
