MOORE’S  RURAL  NEW-YORRER. 
ANSWERS  TO  CORRESPONDENTS. 
STretsf,  ^ccrt.«,  ^c. 
Wantfd. 
^ubUeaiiuniJ. 
We  propose  to  hereafter  dovoto  a  comer  in 
these  pages  to  answering  questions  relating  to 
Rural  affairs.  Each  correspondent  is  reipiosted 
to  solid  Ills  (or  her)  fall  address,  not  necessarily 
for  publication,  but  to  enable  ns  to  be  more  ex¬ 
plicit  in  giving  the  information  desired.  For 
instance,  if  a  man  slionld  ask,  “What  is  the 
best  hedge  plant  for  nio  to  use  ?’’  it  would  bo 
well  for  us  to  know  in  what  imrt  of  the  country 
ho  resides,  for  the  one  best  adapted  to  the  climate 
of  rteorgia  might  be  valueless  in  Wisconsin. 
Corre.sjsjndents  may  sign  any  namo  or  initial 
they  idioose  to  thoir  comranniciitious,  but  their 
full  nauio  amt  pnst-ottlco  address  must  also  bo 
added  for  the  abovo-n.amod  reason,  as  well  as  an 
assurance  that  theii'  questions  are  asked  in  good 
faith  and  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  needed 
information. 
Mrs.  Mary  L.  Ftiit/ioe.— The  Cliincso  fruit  to  ! 
which  you  refer  under  the  name  of  “  Lychee”  is 
unknown  to  us,  at  least  wo  do  not  know  it  by 
that  namo.  If  you  have  a  specimen  to  spare,  it 
would  be  very  acceptable. 
J).  Clark. — Tlio  article  to  which  you  refer 
appeared  in  the  Rnnai.  Nevv-Yokkkr  for  March 
17,  p.  187,  nnder  the  heading  of  “A  (Jure  for 
Obesity.”  The  plant  rwonnnondid  to  be  used 
for  making  a  ihink  to  reduce  llesli  is  our  com¬ 
mon  “  .Sea  Wrai:k,”  or  Rea  Weed  ( I'licti.i  versi- 
cuiosm).  Many  years  ago,  fir.  Itu.ssKi.L  recom¬ 
mended  apjilictttions  of  this  plant  for  scrofulous 
swellings,  but  .Sea  Wrack  tea  for  obesity  is  i)roba- 
bly  a  modem  diicovciy. 
A  Suh.scriher. — He  fore  attempting  to  lay  out  a 
cemetery,  you  should  consult  some  of  the  va¬ 
rious  works  on  laudsca|u>  gardening,  and  also 
visit  some  of  the  old  and  most  noted  cemeteries 
in  the  coiuitry,  snob  as  (Jreenwood  and  Mount 
Vernon.  The  old  geometrical  system  of  squiu-o 
plats  and  walks  at  right  angles  is  not  just  the 
thing  for  eitlicr  cometories,  private  grounds,  or 
public  parks.  Whatever  plan  Is  adopted,  it 
should  bo  made  from  careful  surveys  of  the 
grounds,  in  order  to  bo  in  keeping  with  the 
natural  outlines  and  undulations  of  the  surface. 
Young  Kntoinologi»t.—\i  is  not  known  just 
how  many  different  Hj)Ocies  of  insects  there  are 
in  the  world,  but  wre  can  safely  say  half  a  mil¬ 
lion.  rrobably  uot  one-half  of  our  native  H|>e- 
cies  ill  anyone  ord<;r  has  yet  been  named  and  de¬ 
scribed,  therefore  there  is  plenty  of  room  for 
both  old  and  j'oung  entoioologtHts  to  work  for 
fame  and  pleasure,  .\fter  all  the  different  spe¬ 
cies  have  received  names  and  been  <loscribed, 
thou  comes  the  more  dilllcnlt  part  of  the  whole, 
i.  e.,  to  discover  and  learn  their  habits  or  life 
history.  Tliore  is  nwod  of  at  least  one  thousand 
more  earnest  workers  in  this  tleld,  in  order  that 
we  may  know  more  of  the  history  of  our  com¬ 
mon  uo-viontf  and  Ijeuielicial  spccii.iS, 
A'ubsc/'ibcr.— A  good  donblo-handf III  of  leached 
ashes  ivill  answer  for  oiu'h  hill  of  corn,  and  ouu- 
half  the  quantity  if  the  ashes  are  nnleached  and 
fresh.  It  is  also  well  to  brp-dioss  the  hills  with 
ashes  after  the  corn  is  up,  s.ay  six  inclie.s  to  a 
foot  high. 
J.  C.  -If  you  look  close,  the  eggs  of  frogs  will 
be  found  quite  abundant  in  tlio  jMtnds,  usually  in 
rather  compact,  glutinous  masses.  But  do  not 
forget  that  “tadjsdes"  are  hatched  from  the 
frogs’  eggs,  and  then  in  turn  become  what  we 
call  frogs. 
Jj.  .1.  H. — The  yellow  flower  with  liliform  leaves 
now  in  blo<mi  in  your  garden,  is  Adonis  venialis. 
The  common  name  of  this  pretty  little  spring 
flower  is  Phoasant’s  Eye. 
C.  i’.— 'I'he  fine  story  going  the  rounds  of  the 
press  in  regard  to  tlio  “  now  use  for  chicken 
feathers,”  sounds  veiy  pretty  and  looks  very  rea¬ 
sonable,  but  we  do  not  think  you  need  try  saving 
those  plucked  from  the  Jowls  kilU'd  for  market, 
expecting  to  find  ruiuly  sale  and  at  a  good  price. 
M’e  think  the  supply  in  I’rance  is  equal  to  the 
demand,  and  no  large  quantity  will  bo  wanted 
from  this  side  of  tho  Atlantic. 
£.  P.  R.— Hungarian  grass  is  cultivated  to  a 
reasonable  extent  in  some  few  localities  for  fod¬ 
der.  It  is  sown  in  spring  about  the  time  of 
planting  corn,  about  uuo  half  bushel  of  seed 
sown  per  acre.  When  cut  for  hay,  tlio  luovving 
should  commence  as  soon  as  tho  flowers  are  seen 
on  the  heads,  for  if  allowed  to  pass  much  beyond 
this  point,  the  stalks  become  hard  and  the  fod¬ 
der  will  bo  of  inferior  quality. 
Jno.  M.  W. — ^You  Mill  probably  find  no  better 
very  eaiiy  potato  than  tho  Early  Rose  or  Early 
Vermont.  Wo  have  had  somo  exi^erionce  witli 
these  and  other  early  soi-ts  and  class  them  among 
the  best.  They  are  especially  valuable  for  tho 
more  Northern  States,  and  succeed  well  iu  New 
Hampshire  and  Vermout. 
E.  C. — Yes ;  there  is  a  variety  of  strawberry 
called  the  Brooklyn  Scaiiet.  It  is  one  of  tho 
handsomest  of  the  scarlet  sorts  and  of  extra  tine 
flavor,  but,  unfortunately,  uot  very  productive, 
unless  planted  in  very  rich  soil. 
PURE  GERMAN  MILLET. 
One  and  the  only  reason  why  our  farmers  do  not 
sow  this  wondertul  urass— ihoy  do  not  know  what  It
