Mary  Waley. — When  is  the  best  time  to  start 
slips  of  Oeraninnis,  Verbenas,  double  Puverfew 
and  thicbsias  for  winter  bloooming  ?  Ans.  The 
sooner  the  bettor. 
Will  shoro'sand  answer  to  root  them  in  ?  Ans. 
Nothing  better,  if  yon  wash  the  salt  out. 
flow  will  it  do  to  stai't  nil  together  in  a  box 
and  ti'ausplanl  into  pots  after  they  are  fairly 
rooted.  Axs.  It  will  do  very  well. 
Should  plants  bo  started  in  the  house  or  in 
ojMju  air.  Ans.  'J’hat  do]H'ud3  upon  the  plant. 
Tlioso  above  niontioncd  may  ho  rooted  out-of- 
doors,  if  sheltered  from  i’.ain  and  sun  and  uni¬ 
form  moisture  ho  provided.  We  si  loidd  prefer  to 
manage  thorn  in  tho  house. 
Will  Stocks  grow  from  slips?  Anh.  Tcn-wooks’ 
Ntocks  arc  annuals.  Tho  Intermediate  and  Bi- 
•nuial,  ()|-  Brompton  Stocks,  will  bloom  in  early 
spring,  if  tho  seed  bo  sown  at  once  ami  the  plants 
lifted  before  frost.  Cuttings  of  tho  last  will 
root — but  tho  plants  are  never  so  vigorous  and 
tliu  spikes  are  short. 
I  have  a  bod  of  seedling  verbenas  ;  will  they 
oontinuo  to  bloom  if  the  roots  bo  removed  to  tho 
house  Dcfore  frost?  Ans.  No,  they  will  not 
amount  to  anything.  Better  pot  layers  that  have 
not  bloomed. 
(Jharlm  Limliiri/,  Waiikcc/nn. — Tbo  foJlovriug 
recipe  for  dyeing  (Irasiuts  and  Mosses  is  a  method 
recommended  by  tho  Lomlon  Jom  nal  of  Horticul¬ 
ture  and  adopted  in  Oevmany,  and  is,  donbtloss, 
as  good  as  any:  -Boil  half  a  pound  of  alum  in 
four  quarts  of  water,  and  dissolve  half  a  pound 
of  linoly  triturated  mineral  blue  in  it,  and  a  dark 
green  dye  is  the  result.  Or  a  beautifiiJ  green 
dye  may  bo  made  with  indigo,  ofirrnine  and  pic¬ 
ric  acid,  adding  water  to  reduce  it  to  tlio  desired 
hue.  As  picric  add  is  rarely  to  ho  had  of  imi- 
form  strength,  tho  exact  proportions  cannot  be 
given. 
To  Dye  Black. — Two  ounces  of  logwood  in  one 
quart  of  water,  quarter  ounce  of  alum,  and  three 
ounces  of  copperas,  tho  wJiolo  boiled  together 
and  tho  moss  or  grass  dipped  into  it  while  hot. 
Or  two  t)arls  of  logwood  and  ono  of  tleahano 
thoroughly  boiled  together  aud  a  littlo  green 
vitriol.

boil  as  miicb  red  aniline  iu  rain  water  ah  will

onnuaya  i  wouiit  itke  to  ask  your  opinion  on 
tire  subject.  Is  it  an  estsblisbcd  mlo  among 
farmers  generally  to  allow  hel)'  to  act  tbeir  ovni 
pleasure  on  that  day,  or  is  it  understood  that  all 
necessary  chores  must  bo  attended  to  as  on  week 
days?— E.  u.  y. 
It  should  be,  if  it  is  not,  an  established  rnilo 
that  farm  help  must  do  all  necessary  chores  on 
Sunday  tho  same  as  any  other  day.  Cows  re¬ 
quire  to  be  fed,  wattwerJ  and  milked  oir  Sunday 
the  same  as  any  other  day  of  tho  week,  and  if  it 
had  been  intended  by  their  Creator  that  these 
operations  should  not  be  porforuiod  on  a  certain 
day,  tho  functions  of  tho  animals  would  have 
been  suspended  during  tho  designated  jreriod. 
If  a  man  drives  his  horses  to  olnrrch,  somchody 
must  harness  them,  and  when  they  return  they 
mu.st  bo  nnliamcHsed  and  fed,  and  it  makes  no 
difference  who  performs  tire  task,  it  is  work  of 
a  Certain  kind.  Again,  we  will  suppose  a  man 
keeps  fifty  cows  aud  hired  lielp  to  care  for 
thorn,  would  it  bo  reasonable  to  suppiose  that 
tho  proprietor  or  some  of  his  family,  who  may 
know  notliing  of  caring  for  such  animals,  must 
step  iu  aud  relieve  tho  hired  man  oir  Bnndny  ? 
Althongli  vre,  as  a  Christian  community,  agree  to 
abstain  from  unitccossary  labor  ono  day  in  so  von, 
it  does  not  follow  that  tho  demands  of  nature 
must  bo  uogloctttd.  In  oiu'  own  exporiouce  witli 
hired  help  on  a  farm,  wo  liavo  never  Irad  a  man

JCd.  Rural: — On  ])agc  113  of  tho  (lonntry 
(ientleman's  Annual  liegister  of  Knrul  Affairs 
for  1855,  .T.  J.  Tu<>,mam  says  tliat  lightning  rods 
should  not  bo  fastened  to  buildings  with  glass 
insulators,  hut  tJiat  they  slionld  be  made  of  sea¬ 
soned  and  painted  wood.  Ho  says  that  glass  is 
no  protection  after  it  becomes  wot,  and  that  tho 
metallic  fixtures  that  fasten  it  to  tho  building 
liayo  a  tendency  to  attract  tho  oleetricity  to  tho 
building,  etc.  Now,  I  have  a  high  honso  in  au 
exposed  situation,  as  regards  lightning,  aud  have 
just  attaolied  my  rods  by  means  of  ghiss  insula¬ 
tors  and  zinc  staples.  This  I  considered  safe, 
hut  would  like  yoiu-  opinion  in  Uuhal.  Is  Mr. 
Thomas  correct  ?  B.  fl.  Bki.u. 
Wo  liave  alw.ay«  cousidorod  Mr.  J.  J.  Thomas 
a  voi-y  safe  counsellor  in  matters  pertaining  to 
tho  farm  and  garden,  but  what  lie  said  in  the 
“Annual  Bogister  of  Bural  Affairs”  about  tlio 
lightning  rods  is  in  our  candid  opinion  rather 
against  him — not  but  what  his  directions  for 
putting  up  tlio  rods  aro  all  right,  but  wo  cannot 
agree  with  Jiim  m  regard  to  tlio  value  of  liglit- 
ning  rods  as  a  moans  of  protocUoa.  Wc  have 
always  considerod  that  a  building  was  a  littUt 
safer  without  a  rod  than  with  it,  consoqnontly 
Ijavo  never  hod  any  experience  in  thoir  cllloacy 
or  as  to  tho  best  method  of  insulation.  Our 
host  anthoritioH  disagree  on  those  points,  and 
wo  arc  perfectly  willing  to  let  them.  You  will 
liiul  ou  another  page  an  Interesting  article  on 
lightning  rods  in  general,  and  how  ixiddlors  of 
this  articla  manage  to  dispose  of  their  wares. 
0. — Will  any  of  your  medical  subscribers  or 
readers  answer  tho  following  questions  ?  Aly 
motive  in  asking  them  will  appear  whoti  I  say 
that  I  live  in  a  malarial  district  and  several  mem¬ 
bers  of  my  family  have  suffered  from  chills  aud 
fever : 
How  late  in  the  afternoon  upon  clear  days  is  it 
considered  safe  to  ventiu'o  out  of  doors  ?  Does 
tho  malarial  poison  coUoct  or  condense  near  the 
earth  as  soon.as,  from  tho  loss  of  tho  sun’s  rays, 
it  becomes  cooler  than  tho  atuiosphore  ?  Is  it 
tho  sun’s  rays  that  dissipato  the  malaria  ?  If  so, 
ought  one  never  to  venture  out  upon  cloudy 
days  ? 
Most  of  the  books  I  Lavo  read  upon  tho  sub¬ 
ject  caution  against  tlio  evening  air.  Is  not  tho 
morning  air  as  dangerous  ?  If  not,  why  not  ? 
Remarks. — Wo  join  with  our  correspondent 
in  asking  information  of  those  who  have  made 
such  (piestions  a  iipccial  study.  It  is  one  iu 
widen  every  person  is  in  a  greater  or  less  degree 
interested. 
Iu  an  article  by  Charles  P.  Rus.sei.,  M.  D., 
which  we  shall  publish  as  soon  as  space  permits, 
welind  the  following It  is  most  dangerous 
when  tlie  sun  is  dowm,  aud  it  (the  malaria)  seems 
almost  ineil  during  tho  day.  It  seems  ahuost 
providential  that  tho  same  agency  which  is  so 
potent  in  its  production  should  be  the  principal 
inatnunent  of  its  destruction.  Exposure  in  tho 
open  air  after  sunset,  or  until  geoural  hours  after 
sunnse,  should  be  avoided.  It  is  generally  re¬ 
garded  as  having  a  siieeiiic  gravity  heavier  than 
tliat  of  air,  bnt  this  is  by  no  moans  i^rtain.  It 
is  doubtless  rendered  hoav}*  by  combiuiug  with 
night-fogs  aud  dews,  bat  npon  thek  being  dissi¬ 
pated  by  the  sun,  it  rises  into  the  air  aud  proba¬

which  would  destroy  tho  Hquaah  Bug  (Cnreus 
tristis)  without  injuring  tho  vines.  Baris  green, 
as  aiJjilied  to  potatoes  for  lulling  tho  Colorado 
potato  beetle,  will  kill  tlio  bugs,  but  ono  does 
not  like  to  apply  such  poison  to  Biinashes  that 
are  to  be  used  for  food.  Carbolic  acid  has  also 
lieeu  recommended  for  this  purpose,  but  not 
havhig  had  occasion  to  use  it,  wo  cannot  speak 
from  experience  as  to  its  oflioacy.  Our  Eastern 
agricultm'ists  say  tliat  lime  slaked  in  w'ater  im¬
