Tbo  vino  Mont  us  ia  Clirnnliit  Viryininna,  alno 
known  by  aevoral  common  namoa,  Huch  aa  Trav- 
olorn’  Joy,  Virgin’a  Boiver,  etc.,  otc.  It  in  a  na¬ 
tive  climbing  vino,  growing  abundautly  in  gwampa 
and  along  tlio  bnuloi  of  Htroamg,  attaching  itnolf 
to  support  by  its  petioles,  wliich  are  given  off  in 
pairs,  serving  tbo  purpose  of  tendrils,  as  scon  in 
tbo  grapo  and  many  other  similar  vinos.  Tbo 
flowers  aro  small,  wbito,  and  homo  in  cymos, 
which  make  a  very  bandsomo  appearance  during 
tbo  blooming  season.  But  tbo  most  remarkable 
fc.aturo  of  this  plant  is  tbo  fruit ;  tbo  long,  feath¬ 
ery  tails  attacbeil  to  tbo  sood,  separating  like 
tufts  of  cotton  or  wool.  It  is  a  beautiful  vino, 
although  common,  and  well  worthy  a  place  in 
every  garden. 
J,  W,  Vb-  Grapo- vinos  can  bo  grafted,  and 
HOinctimos  it  is  an  r»bjoct  to  propagate  them  in 
Ibis  manner.  But  it  is  too  late  for  grafting  this 
Koason,  and  before  the  timo  comes  around  for 
performing  tbo  ojioration,  wo  will  endeavor  to 
give  an  oxbaustivo  illustratod  article  on  tlio  sub¬ 
ject.  If  wo  should  do  MO  now,  wo  foar  that  many 
of  our  roailcrs  wonbi  forgot  all  about  it  before 
tbo  time  arrived  for  grafting,  and  then  tliey 
would  ask  for  a  repetition  of  directions. 
K.  IV.  G. — ^I’o  keep  sweet  potatooa  over  winter

in  dry  sand,  chaff  or  leaves,  and  placo  in  a  tem¬ 
perature  of  00  to  80'b  A  warm  room  is  jirofora-

and  dry  enough  to  prevent  rotting. 
A  /fcrt/kr. —Tbo  largo  insoct  you  send  is  com¬ 
monly  known  ns  tbo  Harvest  Fly,  although  in 
Homo  localities  it  is  called  a  “  ksmst,"  but  its 
correct  namo  Oivnila.  JlAiims,  in  bis  “In¬

authorities  tlibik  this  spocios  is  notiUfforont  from 
the  ono  described  many  years  ago  by  Thomas 
Kay,  nniler  the  namo  of  Cicnfla  pruino.'ia.  It  is 
a  oonimon  insect,  and  its  “  drumming  "  may  bo 
bennl  during  the  months  of  August  and  Hoptom-

wo  would  advise  waiting  until  spring,  tbon  turn

wo  think  tbo  best  way  to  manage  sod  land  to  bo 
planted  with  corn. 
11.  E.  E. — It  is  too  lato  now  to  think  of  sowing 
Hungarian  grass  this  season,  as  it  is  an  annual, 
like  corn,  and  will  not  withstand  tbo  winter. 
Kvory  siirlng  wo  have  somotliing  to  say  on  tbo 
sowing  of  fcsldor  plants,  Hungarian  grass  among 
the  number,  henco  you  have  only  to  watch  our

Pailm,  Oranye,  Jv,  J. — Your  question  as  to 
extracting  tbo  porfimios  of  leaves  ami  llowers, 
is  answeroil  by  a  little  note  in  au  English  pa¬ 
per,  the  Journal  of  Horticulturo:  —  Jasmino, 
Hose,  or  any  other  llowers  may  have  their  scent 
preserved  by  the  following  mode ;  Placo  them 
between  thin  layers  of  cotton  wool,  dipping  Uieso 
into  the  finest  olive  oil,  and  sprinkling  a  small 
quantity  of  fine  salt  on  the  llowers  alternattily 
until  an  earthen  or  wido-moutbofi  glass  vessel  is 
quite  full.  Tie  the  top  close  with  a  bladiler,  and 
place  tbo  vessel  in  a  soutli  aspect  exposed  to  tbo 
boat  of  the  sun,  and  in  lirieen  days  when  opcnoil 
a  fragrant  oil  may  bo  sipieojscd  away  from  tbo

/lfr.v.  M.  Glvl/lm. — I’leasotell  mo  in  tbo  IlimAi. 
bow  to  treat  my  Amaryllis.  It  is  tlirco  years  okl, 
iias  never  blossomed.  Tbo  leaves  wore  liroken 
off  last  year,  but  fresh  ones  aro  now  oiglit  or  ten 
inobos  ill  Umgtb.  Homo  say  Uiat  the  small  side 
bulbs  sboulil  bo  removed  or  it  will  not  blossom. 
Must  I  do  so?  Ans.  Doubtless  the  bulb  was 
weakened  by  the  leaves  being  pulled  off.  You 
say  it  in  tliroe  years  old.  It  in  scaresdy  timo  for 
it  to  bloom.  Komovlng  tbo  offsota  will  not  ef¬ 
fect  its  blooming. 
Hiiccossful  Amaryllis  culture  depends  upon  tbo 
following :  la  Its  seasou  of  rest,  placb  it  in  a 
temperature  Iretwocu  10  and  .lO'*,  and  keep  it  dry. 
Jturiiig  its  growing  iioriotl,  give  it  waruith  aud

Mary  II.-  I  wish  to  know  liow  to  pursue  tlio 
study  of  botany  witliont  tlio  aid  of  a  toaelior. 
Am  faiuiliar  with  tlie  tecbnioal  terms  of  the  dif¬ 
ferent  parts  of  a  llowor.  snob  as  sepals,  petals, 
stamens  and  ovaries,  but  Cannot  trace  ami  know 
nothing  about  tbo  orders.  Is  It  {srssiblo  for  any 
one  to  obtain  a  bolsnical  knowledge  witliont  a 
great  ileal  of  timo  and  lalmr,  and  what  books  aro 
required?  I  am  a  toaobor  of  miudc,  and  have 
often  thought,  tliat,  wore  I  proficirmt  in  botany, 
it  would  greatly  aid  mo  in  oaruiug  a  livelihood. 
By  answering  Hie  above  you  will  oblige. 
Tbo  study  of  botany  wo  believe  to  bo  one  of 
the  most  useful,  as  well  as  refining,  of  the  sei- 
oncos,  and  wo  would  that  we  might  iusiiiro  that 
belief  in  every  girl  and  boy  in  tbo  land.  It  is 
not  that  dry  study  that  so  many  doom  it.  Either 
the  pupil  is  at  fault,  or  tbo  toaobor  has  not  bis 
heart  in  bis  work.  Wo  do  not  know  of  a  liook 
more  jilain  or  compvolieiisivo  than  “  Gray's  Gar¬ 
den  Botany,’’ 
(lommit  to  memory  iiotbiiig  tluit  yon  do  not 
fully  imdorstand,  and  if  possible  procure  spooi- 
meiiH  of  plants  to  examine  as  you  study.  By  so 
doing  you  will  find  that  an  otherwise  jierplexiiig 
lesson  is  rendered  simple.  'I'ranery  requires  core, 
tlioiight,  and  a  critical  oxaminalion  of  tbo  parts 
of  llowers,  wbieb  are  ofttimos  so  small  as  to  re¬ 
quire  tbo  use  of  a  magnifying  glass.  Tbo  prac¬ 
tical  botanist  is  familiar  witli  Ibo  distinctive 
marks  of  all  tlio  orders,  and  is  tboreby  enabled 
to  dotorinine  at  once  to  which  it  belongs ;  and  it 
is  with  those  distinctive  marks  and  tlio  terms  ex¬ 
pressing  them  tliat  tlio  pupil  has  first  to  occupy 
himself.  We  sliould  say,  with  your  present 
knowledge  of  botany,  that  two  hours  a  day  of 
diligent  study  for  tliroo  montlis  would  oimblo 
you  to  trace  ordinary  plants  of  tho  garden  and 
woods this  docs  not  include  grasses,  ferns  or 
mosses.  You  will  find  upon  examining  a  llowor 
of  any  given  order  what  its  distinguishing  c.bar- 
actxirlstics  aro ;  for  instance,  take  Ui«  order  Oom- 
positip.  This’ comprises  nearly  ono-nintb  of  all 
tbo  flowering  plants,  and  is  distingnlsbed  at  once 
by  its  oapllate  flowers  ansi  uuitial  anthers  ;  the 
I.abiaU),  or  Mint  family,  with  its  square  stems, 
bilabiate  corollas,  ovary  deeply  four  -  parted, 
fonnuig  four  littlo  nuts,  or  acbonia'  all  distinct 
marks  and  readily  rocoguizod.  And  so  on  with 
most  other  orders. 
Tbo  beginiior  Is  prone  to  oxaggerato  tbo  dilli- 
cnlty  of  committing  to  memory  tbo  terms  of 
botany  ;  but  sooner  or  later  bo  linds  bis  moun¬ 
tains  have  resolved  Ibomselvos  into  mole-bills. 
Wo  are  in  nccil  of  botanists,  and  have  no  doubt 
tliat  were -you  profleient  In  Ibis  study,  you  could 
cuniiuaiid  a  situatloii  ill  some  ono  of  our  many 
schools  that  would  well  repay  for  your  time  anrl 
study.  Hucb  knowledge  might  also  prollt  you  in 
connection  witli  tbo  agricultural  and  liorticul- 
tural  press. 
HY;i.  Taylor.  -Will  you  toll  mo,  through  tbo 
ItmiAi.,  why  salt  mixed  with  ico  or  snow,  produc¬ 
ing  salt  water,  causos  cold  ?  Is  not  tbo  liquid 
warmer  than  ice  ? 
Ans. — No,  it  is  colder  than  the  ico.  Tbo  freez¬ 
ing  point  is  lowered  by  this  combination.  When 
a  solid  body  is  made  to  liquefy  without  tbo  aid  of 
oxtornal  boat,  the  beat  which  is  os.xoutial  to 
liquefaction  must  l>o  abstracted  from  coritigiions 
bodies  wliicli  are  tliiis  iuimIo  colder,  njo^egreo 
of  cold  is,  in  a  great  moasiu’e,  proportionate  to 
tbo  rapiibty  of  liquefaction.  Tho  principle  is 
latent  beat.  If  vre  lake  a  iiouiid  of  i<?e  at  3‘J'^  and 
a  pound  of  water  at  172’^,  tbo  temperature  will  be 
found,  when  the  lee  Is  melted,  but  .'W'’.  A  quan¬ 
tity  of  heat  (1  tO’)  sullioiont  to  maintain  tlio  wa¬ 
ter  at  172’  lias  thus  disappeared  or  become  la¬ 
tent.  It  has  been  absorbed  by  tlio  ico,  and  tlio 
temperature  of  those  bodies  supplying  the  boat 
is  proportionately  lowered.-  -  Give  us  soasonablo

.1  Iturnl  liratbT. — Blue  Grass  Hooil  may  bo 
sown  ill  the  fall  at  tbo  saiiio  timo  and  in  the 
same  nmunor  as  other  hardy  siiecios.  Home  far¬ 
mers  HOW  it  witli  their  ryo  and  wheat,  others  de¬ 
lay  sewing  until  spring,  putting  it  in  with  oats  or 
spring  wtieat,  but  wo  prefer  f^ll  sowing  for  all 
of  tlio  hardy  grasses.  If  it  is  not  desirable  to 
sow  grass  seed  with  grain,  jiiit  it  in  alone,  and 
early  enongb  to  uisure  a  Arm  bold  of  the  soil  be¬ 
fore  coUl  weather.  Kowiiig  grass  seed  alone  is 
not  in  general  favor  among  farmers;  but  wo 
liave  practiced  it  for  years,  and  with  such  good 
results  that  we  should  bo  loth  to  return  to  the 
old  double-crop  system  of  seeding  down  a  ineailow. 
Two  to  tbreo  bushels  of  Blue  Grass  seed  slioiiUl 
bo  sown  per  aero  to  insure  a  good  stand,  and 
vei7  lightly  covered.  A  liglit  brush  made  of  a 
branch  of  a  tree,  and  drawn  over  tlio  ground, 
will  cover  the  seed  sufllciontly.  Alfalfa,  or  Ijii- 
ceruo,  as  it  is  called,  sliould  be  sown  in  spring, 
as  tho  young  plants  aro  quite  tender,  and  would 
scarcely  withstand  the  colil  of  a  Missouri  winter. 
How  broadcast  and  about  iiftoeu  pounds  to  tlio 
acre  early  in  spring,  and  cover  with  a  brush. 
After  tlio  plants  have  become  well  oshiblisbed 
they  may  bo  hardy  enough  to  withstand  tbo  cli- 
uiato  in  your  looallty.
