Wo  have  never  heard  of  any  instance  hi  which, 
as  you  state,  the  poars  have  neither  “  seeds,  core 
nor  any  hardness  in  place  of  a  core.” 
And  should  be  In  the  hands  of  every  Farmer’s 
wife  In  this  country.  It  Is  full  of  practical  and 
scleutliic  information  upon  every  branoh  of 
butter  making,  from  the  care  of  cows  to  butter 
In  the  market,  and  should  be  kept  for  constant 
reference  In  every  house  where  that  article  Is

whatever  against  moles.  It  has  been  shown  tliat 
they  prefer  animal  to  vegetable  food  and  their 
iujm'y  to  plants  is  not  wrought  by  eating  the 
ro<^ts,  but  by  burrowing  underneath  them  and 
deprivitlg  the  libers  of  moisture. 
2.  It  is  probable  there  are  fewer  in  your  grounds 
than  you  sujiposo.  Wo  know  from  experience 
that  one  mole  is  capable  of  riddling  au  area  of 
ground  at  least  hfty  feet  square. 
Inquirer,  Kalatnaztxt,  Mich. — It  is  essential 
that  your  lightning  rod  should  go  down  in  the 
earth  to  perpetual  moisture.  Water  is  a  good 
conductor.  Air  and  dry  earth  very  bad  conducts 
ors.  If,  therefore,  the  oaith  about  your  rod 
should  be  drv  when  the  rod  is  “  struck,"  the 
lightning  would  bo  as  likely  to  choose  the  house 
as  the  gromid. 
— A  lady  corrospondont  writes  that  those 
who  are  troubled  with  bm'docks  and  other  weeds 
lu  their  lawns  and  gardens  should  try  kerosene 
01 L  Thu  same  fluiil  would  probably  kill  Canada 
thistles.  Uurofinod  coal  oU  would  probably  be 
(Hfually  ae  ellioacious  and  cost  loss. 
(J.  A.  C. — Ileiutrocalis  Intea  is  perfectly  hardy. 
The  dowers  are  bright,  but  uot  enduring,  and 
the  leaves  are  not  very  ornamental  to  associate 
wifcli  the  Uifi<yifoliuia$.

T.  D.  Carman,  East  liockatcay,  L.  T. — 1.  Paris 
green  is  a  virulent  poison  and  should  not  be 
mixed  with  the  hands,  lest  it  penetrate  sores  or 
cuts  upon  tljom. 
2.  It  has  been  proven  over  and  over  again  that 
it  does  not  in  any  way  injure  the  potato. 
3.  A  tablospoonful  to  2  gallons  of  water  is  snfti- 
cienL-or,  if  preferred  dry,  mix  it  with  flour  in 
the  proportion  of  twenty  parts  of  flour  to  one  of 
Paris  green. 
4.  II  should  bo  applied  early  in  the  morning. 
If  the  wind  blows,  be  careful  not  to  inhale  the 
mixture.  A  sieve  is  as  serviceable  as  anything 
for  the  dry  mixture,  and  a  flowering-pot  for  the 
liquid. 
A  Subscriber,  Bhifjhnms,  2Hoga  Go.,  N.  V. — 
The  leiwling  English  agricultural  paiKjrs  are

of  Horticulture.  You  need  only  write  to  the 
“Publishers,  Loudou,  England.” 
James  Simoat,  Maas. — Upon  fruit  trees  we 
have  used  for  two  years  a  mixture  of  xmslaked 
lime,  one  pint;  sulphur,  rock  salt,  aloes,  one 
tablespoonful  each;  wood  ashes,  one  pint;  a 
piece  of  soap  three  inches  square  to  a  gallon  of 
water — all  heaUnl  to  boiling  and  appUeii  cold 
with  a  stick  having  the  cud  bound  firmly  with 
rags.  They  are  first  painted  about  the  1st  Hay. 
again  the  latter  part  of  May,  and  finally  in  the 
Fall.  Many  other  mlxturcH  may  prove  just  as 
cfticaelous.  It  is  a  good  plan  to  place  about  the 
earth  in  contact  with  the  stem  a  dry  mixture  of 
sulphur,  coal  ashes  and  salt  as  protection  against 
the  borer. 
H'.  J.  2?.— The  only  elToctual  appheation  for 
destroying  tlie  Rose  Bing  that  wo  know  is  White 
Hellebore  root.  The  bushes  can  bo  dnstod,  when 
wet,  with  the  powder,  or  a  solution  in  projxirtion 
of  half  a  pound  to  a  barrel  of  water  can  bo  ap¬ 
plied  with  garden  syringe  or  watering  jwt  with 
flue  uoso.  Wo  have  never  found  wlialo  oil  soap, 
corbohe  soap,  tobacco,  or  any  otiiur  article  than 
Hellebore  of  any  service. 
A.  E.  M. — I’lantaiua  can  be  killed  out  from 
your  grass  plot  by  using  tlie  salt  and  limo  mix¬ 
ture — wliich  is  really  chloride  of  lime,  and  may 
ho  prepared  by  dissolving  as  much  salt  as  prjssi- 
hle  lu  water  and  nsiiig  tbo  brine  to  slake  lime ; 
8i»riuklo  the  limo  thiia  jjroparod  thoroughly  over 
the  grass  plot.  It  will  kill  the  plantain  and  help 
tbe  grass.  Whuro  the  plaiitain  is  not  too  abun¬ 
dant  they  can  bo  roatlily  removed  with  a  knife. 
A  lively  hand  can  go  over  consider  able  ground

Yon  say  the  flowers,  measuring  .4  to  12  inches  in
