ANSWEES  TO  OOERESPOTOiarra 
(1^  Will  you  oleaso  dosci-ibo  a  bug  ?  (3)  Are 
all  insects  having  four  wings  beetloa?  (3)  Is 
this  wijigless  croatui'o,  now  destroying  potato 
vines,  a  grub,  bug,  or  an  embryo  beetle  ?  If  tho 
latter,  will  it  pass  through  the  pupa  state,  or  will 
the  wings  gradually  grow  on  it?  Jj<jKEU. 
(1)  It  W'Olilit  bo  somewliat  difficult  to  give  you 
a  correct  idea  of  tho  difference  between  tho  order 
of  Jlanipfera  or  truo  bugs,  and  Cokoptera  or 
beetles,  in  Uie  limited  space  which  can  be  spared 
in  those  columns.  Hut  wo  ivill  say  that  the  two 
grand  division!)  of  Ilemiptera  are  composed,  1st. 
Half-winged  bug.s,  called  Ui’kroptera,  having 
tho  basal  half  of  Iho  front  wings  coriaceous,  or 
leathery,  for  instftneo,  tho  common  atinldng  or 
srpiash  bug,  bod  bug,  oto.  2d.  Wholo-wingol 
bugs  or  Uwixoptrra,  having  all  four  wings  of  a 
uniform  membranous  nature,  folding  straight 
down  tho  back  when  at  rest — for  oxamplo,  tho 
common  troo-hoppor.  Hy  procuring  some  iDns- 
trated  elomontai-y  work  on  entomology,  you 
would  soon  bo  able  to  dislingnish  bugs  from  boo¬ 
ties,  moths  from  butterflies. 
(2)  No ;  all  insoets  having  four  wings  aro  not 
beetles,  for,  in  fact,  booties  Lave  only  two  ti'uo 
wings,  w  ith  a  pair  of  shields  to  cover  them,  hence 
tho  name  of  tho  order  Coleojilera,  wliich  moans 
sliiold-wingfKl  iusects.  Tliero  nro  somo  specioa 
of  lieetloH  which  have  no  shields,  or  elytra,  as 
these  organs  are  termed,  while  thero  are  uthors 
having  very  full  and  perfect  elytra,  but  no  mom- 
brnnous  wings,  consequently  they  are  unablo  to 
fly. 
(3)  Tho  wingless  gnibs,  or  more  properly, 
larvtK,  of  the  Coloratlo  post,  after  feeding  and 
growing  awhile,  rests  for  a  few  days  iti  what  is 
tonned  tho  pnpo;  state,  then  bursts  its  pupa  skin 
and  comes  forth  a  true  and  very  peifect  beetle, 
with  two  membraimus  wings  and  two  born-liko 
shields,  or  elytra,  upon  each  of  tho  latter.  Thero 
are  five  black  lines,  making  tcr»  upon  all,  hence 
the  scientific  namo  of  Chri/sotiwla  (_lJorpp?iord), 
lO-linoata.  'J'o  speak  of  one  of  those  insects  as  a 
btig,  is  as  incorrect  as  it  would  bo  to  call  a  turtle 
a  horse.  Still,  men  who  know  better  often  call 
them  bugs,  in  order  to  bo  understooil.

>S'i46sm/«.r. —  ire  have  had  no  experience  in 
making  vinogai'  from  sorghum  sirup,  therefore 
will  ask  sumo  of  our  readers  to  answer  your 
question. 
G.  E.  A. — Tho  branches  and  young  twigs  of 
your  apple  trees  are  probably  alllictod  with  what 
is  teniied  applo-trco  blight.  The  cause  of  this 
malady  is  iinituowu,  but  is  often  quite  destruo- 
tive.  Cut  off  all  affected  twigs  as  soon  as  tho 
leaves  begin  to  turn  brow'n,  us  this  will  somo- 
times  check  tho  spread  of  the  disease.  You  will 
lind  on  another  page  an  ans  wer  to  your  question 
in  regard  to  budding  trees. 
•If'  V.  1), — You  should  watch  our  advertising 
columns  for  information  about  game  and  other 
kinds  of  fowls,  as  that  is  the  place  we  have  to 
look  for  such  articles  wlien  in  want.  At  present 
we  do  not  know  who  has  this  breed  for  sale. 
E^uvsey-ynian. — ^'Tho  reason  why  your  single, 
lone  Box-Elder  or  Aah-lcaved  maple  tree  has  no 
seed  in  tho  pod  is  because  it  is  a  pistillate  (fe¬ 
male)  tree  and  thero  aro  no  staminato  (male)  in 
the  imme<liate  neighborhood.  This  species  of 
maple  bears  its  two  sexes  of  flowers  on  separate 
trees,  hence  both  must  bo  grouiog  in  close  prox¬ 
imity,  in  order  to  obtain  perfect  seeds.  Wo  have 
a  very  largo  pistillate  tree  in  our  own  grounds, 
which  is  loaded  with  tho  keys  or  seed  vessels 
every  year,  but  they  are  empty,  not  a  germ  over 
appearing  in  one  of  them,  for  tho  reason  given 
above. 
A.  C.  asks  if  wo  deem  plants  in  a  sleeping 
apartment  iujiuious  to  health.  Bho  says  tliat 
her  husband  objects  to  her  plants  being  ui  their 
bedioom,  where  there  is  a  sunny  window,  and 
insists  that  they  shall  bo  removed  at  night.  She 
herself  has  road  that  plants  pmifythe  atmos¬ 
phere. 
Ans.— It  is  now  well  known  tliat  plants  give  off 
cai-bonic  ac-Ul  gas  us  well  as  absorb  it — that  they 
absorb  oxygcji  as  well  as  liberate  it — but  that  the 
quantity  of  oxygen  absorbed  and  of  cai-bonio  acid 
gas  liberated,  is  decidodly  less  than  tho  quantity 
of  oxygen  hberated  and  carbonic  acid  gas  ab¬ 
sorbed.  'J'lus,  however,  can  only  bo  said  of 
healthy  plants  in  a  state  of  growth  and  exposed 
to  tho  snii’s  rays,  which  are  essential  to  decom¬ 
pose  the  gas  in  the  leaf  which  retains  the  carbon 
and  liberates  the  oxygen.  A  plant  may  grow  in 
tho  diuk,  but  its  growtli  destroys  it.  liight  and 
boat  are  essential  to  its  nutrition.  When  wo 
consider  the  imperfect  light  that  sleeping-room 
plants  got ;  when  wo  consider  their  white,  yellow, 
decaying  and  dead  leaves — the  stagnant  moistm'o 
of  tho  pots  and  earth  in  them,  w«  doubt  if  they 
do  uot  in  a  majority  of  cases,  mere  poi.son  the 
air  than  purify  It.  At  best  or  at  worst,  however, 
it  Is  probable  that  they  do  so  little  of  either  that 
IVfr.  A.  0.  need  not  put  you  to  tho  trouble  of  re¬ 
moving  your  plants  nightly ;  and  tho  le.s8  yon 
say  aoout  tlieir  bnwftciat  effects,  the  more  nearly 
you  will  approach  to  what  seems  a  rational  view 
of  tho  question. 
J?.  Cutkr  asks :  ( 1 )  “What  is  tho  cause  of  wa¬ 
ter  boiling  ?  (2)  \Vhy  does  steam,  after  it  leaves 
tin)  teakettle,  burn  tho  hand  even  worse  than 
boUing  water  ? 
Anm. — Any  cliemistry  answers  these  questions 
more  fully  ami  aoem'atoly  than  wo  can  answer 
Uiem  in  brief.  The  prosaiu’o  of  the  atmosphere 
Is  16  lbs.  to  tho  square  inch.  Water,  at  about  212  ’ 
at  tho  smrfaco  of  the  earth,  overcomes  tho  pros- 
Biuo  and  bolls.  The  atmosphere  varioH  in  its 
pressure — hence  the  boiling  point  varies  also. 
Tho  agitation  of  boiling  is  caused  by  tho  forma¬ 
tion  and  burstjiig  of  steam  bubbles  which  formed 
at  tho  bottom  of  the  kettle,  rapidly  make  their 
way  through  tho  body  of  water  like  so  many  bal- 
Uxms.  (2)  Water  is  never  raised  above  212°, 
because  the  continued  boat  wliich  wo)ild  otlier- 
wiso  raise  its  temperature  higher,  becomes  latent 
in  sUiam.  Tliis  when  it  coudonsos  upon  the 
band  gives  out  its  latent  boat,  and  tho  burn  is 
thoroforo  more  Intonso  than  that  from  boiling 
watc'r. 
Mnrion,  Eohle,  Co,,  7nd.— Have  Uio  kindness 
to  send  to  Floricultural  Editor  your  name.  Your 
letter,  published  in  Burai.  of  July  8,  is  lost.  Tho 
flower  is  Molnccella  lamns.  Wo  have  an  article 
written  upon  it  to  bo  publi.died  next  week. 
Amateur.,  Jamesbury.  -It  lias  boon  my  inten- 
tiou  this  season  to  attempt  experiments  toward 
improvement  in  small  fruits -  blackberries  and 
currants  particiflarly,  both  by  cultivation  ami 
seedlings.  Your  articio,  iu  Juno  21Ui,  gave  mo 
just  what  information  I  needed  as  to  trnatniont 
of  Boodliiiga,  though  I  have  aJroady  an  oddity 
under  way  of  iny  own.  Will  yon  bo  good  enough, 
through  your  “Ajiswers  to  Gorrospondents,’'  to 
reconcile  two  statemouts  iu  that  article  that  liavo 
puzzled  mo.  You  say;  “Th«  soed  should  not 
got  thorouglfly  dry,”  eto.,  and  again:  “Wlieu 
cold  weather  sets  in,  bury  in  the  ground,”  etc. 
Now  what  iKithcrs  mo  and  the  information  I 
shoffid  bo  grateful  for  is  this:  (^1)  I  have  splen¬ 
did  Hpocimens  saved,  shall  I  cover  (hem  iu  sand 
at  once  ?  (2)  If  so,  how  shall  I  keep  tho  seed  till 
cold  woatlior  begins  ?  An  answer  to  tho  above 
will  greatly  oblige  a  constant  and  enthusiastic 
reader. 
I  have  marked  one  or  two  bushes  of  native 
blackbrirries  growing  near  me,  which  are  of  su- 
ixirior  merit  as  to  taste,  productiveness  and  size 
of  fruit,  and  this  fall  1  intend  to  see  what  cul¬ 
tivation  will  do  for  them.  One  bush  is  of  such 
excellence  that  1  think  it  will  prove  valuable. 
Awe.  tl)  Yes.  fi)  Place  in  box,  and  bury  seed 
ami  sand  in  tlio  ground,  or  place  in  a  cool,  dark 
oellar. 
Wo  have  road  tho  now  section  of 
the  Postage  Laws  as  parsed,  but  fail  to  see  that 
nursorjmion  and  seodBmou  aro  bonoflted  tlioreby, 
for  thero  is  not  a  word  iu  it  referring  to  seeds, 
plants,  onttings  and  similar  articles— in  fact, 
lilto  most  acts  [wissod  relating  to  postage  matters, 
It  Is  just  indefinite  enough  to  leave  everybody  iu 
a  muddle  as  to  what  it  does  moan  and  afford  each 
and  every  postmaster  an  opportunity  to  construe 
tho  same  to  suit  liimsolf. 
Pear  Grower. — There  is  no  need  of  applying 
HoUoboro  or  other  poisons  to  pear  trees  iu  order 
to  got  rid  of  “  slugs’'  on  tlio  loaves.  Basting 
quicklime  over  tho  trees  will  destroy  this  insect 
quickly  and  as  effectually  as  nnytliing  known. 
I’ho  larva)  of  tho  different  speoies  of  saw-flies, 
usually  known  as  “sings,”  which  infest  various

Anna  11.,  West,  Va.  Mamma  has  a  fine  Calla 
which  has  been  in  bud  for  nearly  two  montlis, 
but  never  lias  opened  ;  on  examination  wo  have 
found  that  tho  topof  tlio  bud  is  withering.  What 
is  tho  cause  ?  Is  it  that  the  shoots  which  have 
sprung  up  have  prevented  it  from  blooming  ? 
Axs. — No,  we  think  not.  Bo  you  give  it  enough 
water  ?  Is  tho  soil  loose  so  that  w’ater  can  reach 
tho  roots  ?  Is  tlio  drainage  perfect  so  that  the 
water  does  not  becoino  soggy  mid  sour  ?  When 
you  can  give  an  aflirmatlvo  answer  to  tho  above, 
your  Calla  will  thrive.
