as  plants  draw  from  tha  atmosphere  a  cousidcra- 
blo  amount  of  food,  it  follows  tiiat  if  tho  cntiro 
plant  bo  returned  to  the  soil,  tho  soil  will  bo  a 
gainer  by  just  so  much  as  the  plant  was  fed  by 
the  air.  If  you  burn  your  woods,  you  savo  tho 
ashes  and  lose  tho  combustiblu  constituents.  If 
you  leave  them  upon  the  ground  whore  pulled 
up,  simply  a  slower  combusUou  is  tho  rosult. 
J.  C.  Bogart. — Wo  cannot  now  give  full  direc¬ 
tions  as  to  building  an  ice-house.  They  may  bo 
found  in  old  issues.  Let  us  say,  however,  that 
the  material,  cost,  etc.,  are  secondary  con.sidcra- 
tiona,  unless  you  care  moro  for  ornament  than 
for  service.  Tho  finer  tho  material  used  for 
packing  between  tho  walls  of  an  ice-hou.se  tho 
bettor,  provided  it  is  not  of  a  cohesive  nature, 
ricnco  pulverized  charcoal  is  ono  of  the  host, 
llioro  is  nothing  whatever  gained  by  having  tho 
house  under  or  partly  undtu'  the  ground.  Indeed 
tho  freest  ciroulation  of  .air  about  tho  strueturo 
is  essential,  sinoo  tho  material  used  as  a  non¬ 
conductor  loses  tliis  power  to  a  great  ex¬ 
tent  the  moment  it  bocomes  wet  or  oviin  damp. 
Dampuo.ss  forms  a  oommunication  between  tho 
particles  which  should  bo  separated  by  dry  air. 
Dry  saw-dust  is  very  good  and  choap.  But  un¬ 
less  tbe  wjills  arc  nir  tight,  it  absorbs  moisturo 
aud  beoomeH  worthless.  It  should  always  bo 
well  dried  in  tho  sun  before  being  packed.  Many 
suppose  tliat  a  norUiorn  exposure  is  host  for  ice¬ 
houses.  So  it  would  be  if  tho  u.so  of  non-con¬ 
ducting  substances  were  unnocc.sHary.  But  un¬ 
less  tho  ico-houso  bo  constructed  with  e.xceediiig 
caro,  tho  dampness  of  such  places  not  exposed 
to  tho  sun  penetrates  tho  non-cond  tie  ting  sub¬ 
stance  and  renders  it  next  to  usoloss.  The  ef¬ 
fects  of  sunshine  and  free  air  cannot  roach  tho 
ice  in  a  proporly-constructod  house,  and  they  ex¬ 
ert  a  drying  and  preserving  inllnouco  upon  the 
material  to  which  w’o  must  look  for  its  preserva¬ 
tion. 
T.  D.  a,  Dn^Uonmlk,  L.  /.—For  a  strictly  or- 
nameutal  hedge  wo  cannot  recommend  tho  Bose 
of  Sharon,  IJibiscus  i^griacun,  though  it  is  a 
beautiful  plant  and  blooms  lato  in  tho  season, 
when  choice  (lowers  are  scarce.  It  is  not  nuite 
hardy  enough  for  your  section. 
Wo  prefer  tho  Kittatiriny  to  tho  Lawton  Black¬ 
berry,  bccau.se  it  is  sweeter  and  hardier.  Tho 
berries  are  not  fiuite  so  largo. 
— B!io<lodondi'ons  are  incomparable  in 
tlioir  season  of  bloom — 'but  they  are  not  adapted 
to  places  wbioh  it  is  doshed  in  a  measure  to  con¬ 
ceal  by  an  exuberance  of  foliage.  They  bloom 
moro  profusely  when  partly  exposed  to  the  sim 
—  though  tbe  foliage  is  poi'haps  improved  by, 
shade. 
It  is  our  opinion  that  they  are  preeminently 
suited  to  clusters.  Their  form  is  too  skelotoii- 
liko  for  single  specimens. 
(2.)  Ilnntiing  Boses  aro  very  frequonlly  em¬ 
ployed  as  vinos  for  voraudahs  or  tho  sides  of 
houses.  They  are  tho  last  plants  wo  should  use 
for  tills  purpose.  Too  many  insects  aro  fond  of 
rose  loaves,  and  unless  great  caro  and  a  deal  of 
trouble  bo  taken,  they  aro  oaten  up  as  soon  as 
they  are  well  developed — and  the  plants  present 
anything  but  a  plcasiug  appearance.  We 
should  prefer  tho  'Wistaria,  Aiaencan  Ivy,  Uou- 
oyauckles,  Akebia  quinata,  all  of  which  are 
perfectly  hardy,  may  bo  trained  to  suit  the

yon  please  explain  them  ?  Ans.— Tho  word  os¬ 
mose  embraces  tho  other  terms.  It  is  the  tend¬ 
ency  of  two  liquids  of  dilTcront  dnnsitios  to  mix 
when  sfiparated  by  permeable  membranes  or  tis¬ 
sues.  If,  for  iii.stance,  sugar  or  salt  bo  dissolved 
in  water  in  a  glass  tube  and  a  bladder  be  tiwl 
over  the  moutli  and  insortwl  into  another  vessel 
of  pturo  water,  it  will  bo  fmmd  not  only  that  tho 
ptu-o  water  enters  the  tube,  but  that  tJia  denser 
Uquid  of  tho  tube  pas.so8  through  the  membrane 
into  tbe  water.  And  tills  intorchange  continues 
until  both  arc  of  tho  same  ileusity.  Tho  passage 
of  Uie  pm’o  water  Into  the  tube  is  called  ondos- 
mose,  and  the  passage  of  tlio  salt  or  sweet  water 
into  tho  other  is  called  exosmoso,  Tho  upward 
course  of  tlio  sap  is  induced  by  evaporation  from 
tho  loavOH  and  atoms,  which,  tending  to  produce 
vacuums,  is  reproducial  by  those  beneath  until 
tho  roots  are  oaliod  upon  to  act.  Tims  tho  move¬ 
ment  of  sap  in  the  spring  is  aeoeleratod.  But 
osmotic  movemont  occora  in  all  directions,  and 
lias,  jjerhaps,  less  to  do  with  the  pressure  of  tho 
atmosphere. 
Ihe  rationale  of  those  forces  in  their  relations 
to  tho  processes  of  plant  life  are  hut  imperfectly 
understood.

Of  what  yon  call  tho  “  Grain  Weevil,”  we  shall 
endeavor  to  give  the  Hciontifto  name,  together 
with  whatever  is  known  of  its  history  and  tho 
mothcHl  of  destroying  it.  But  as  there  are  many 
kinds  of  in.^eets  wliich  attack  stored  grain,  some 
being  moths  and  others  booties,  it  is  absolutely 
iiecoBsary  that  we  should  see  a  Rpticiinen  of  the 
inseot  iu  question  before  attempting  to  give  any 
special  information  in  regard  to  tho  same.  To 
speak  of  all  kinds  of  iusecls  which  inve.st  grain 
as  “  tho  woeyil "  is  as  incorrect  as  it  would  bo  to 
call  all  farm  animals  “tho  horse,”  and  yet  hun¬ 
dreds  do  talk  ill  this  loose  manner  without  being 
aw .ore  of  their  error.

There  are  persons  who  believe 
that  wheat  will  turn  to  cho.4s,  and  it  would  be 
very  difilotilt  to  change  thou-  boUef.  Wo  have 
mot  farmers  who  claimed  that  oats,  if  sown  in 
tha  fall,  would  all  oliangu  to  chess,  and  lately  au 
account  comos  to  us  from  CaUfornia  of  oue  held 
of  wlicat  turning  to  timothy,  and  another  of  140 
acres  turning  to  chess,  while  a  volunteer  crop  of 
barley  turued  to  red  clover.  Now,  our  otvn  be¬ 
lief  iti  this  matter  is  that  one  change  is  just  as 
hkely  to  occur  as  another,  aud  wo  would  as  soon 
expect  to  see  a  field  of  barley  turn  to  clover  as 
wheat  to  chess.  There  is  no  moro  uso  iu  trying 
to  account  for  strange  “beliefs”  than  there  is 
for  curious  “  tastes."
