what  are  the  differences  between  the  male  and 
female  that  enable  bird  fanciers  to  determine 
almost  at  a  glance  the  one  from  the  other.  We 
may  say  that  the  white  of  the  three  upper 
feathers  of  tlio  ra.alo  ^ring  extends  up  higher 
((.  toward  the  head),  and  it  is  a  more  solid 
white  than  in  the  same  feathers  of  the  female, 
in  which  it  is  often  speckled  or  mottled  with 
black  or  brown. 
iS'uhscn7nr.— If  lime,  magnesia  and  su'phuric 
acid  bo  placed  together,  the  sulphiudc  acid 
unites  with  the  lime  only,  forming  sulphate  of 
lime,  and  the  magnesia  is  loft  out  in  the  cold, 
having  nothing  upon  which  to  bestow  its  affec¬ 
tions.

n.  B.  P.,  Argyle. — (1.)  We  do  not  know  what 
will  remove  walnut  stains  from  the  hand  without 
injury  to  the  skin.  The  stains  will  wear  off  in  a 
short  time.  (2  )  There  is  no  one  w'ork  on  Ento¬ 
mology  which  gives  Uie  names,  descriptions  and 
habits  of  all  the  common  insects  to  be  found  on 
the  farm.  “  Harris’  Insects  Injurious  to  Vege¬ 
tation  ”  is  a  very  good  work  for  the  novice,  but 
it  contains  the  names  of  but  a  very  small  propor¬ 
tion  of  the  most  common  kinds.  It  costs  i?4. 
“Packard's  Ouiilo  to  the  Study  of  Insects”  is 
another  work  at  tho  same  price.  It  embraces  a 
much  wider  range  than  that  of  Harris,  but  is 
not  so  entertaining  nor  so  simple.  Tho  two 
volumes  of  tho  “American  lintomologist ”  edit¬ 
ed  by  Prof,  lliley  are  very  valuable  to  one  who 
desires  to  learn  something  of  native  insects. 
We  think  tho  volumes  c.an  he  had  of  tho  Editor, 
Prof.  Chas.  V.  lliley,  St.  Louis,  Mo.  (3.)  Wo 
have  uo  doubt  that  the  statement  to  which  you 
refer  is  correct,  as  it  is  very  well  known  that  tho 
honey-boo  makes  out  of  pure  honey  tho  wax  of 
which  the  colls  or  combs  are  formed.  Tho  isd- 
len  gathered  from  flowers  Is  supposoii  to  ho  used 
as  food  for  tho  young  grubs  or  larvif,  which 
eventually  become  tho  winged  insects.  You  can 
find  all  thoso  points  fully  explained  in  any  good 
work  on  boo-Ueoping. 
E.  C.  A.— Wash  tho  lumps  in  tho  cat’s  ears 
with  strong  camphor,  and  if  causod  by  parasites, 
this  will  destroy  them.  A  weak  solution  of  car¬ 
bolic  acid  will  also  answer.  Never  having  seen 
such  warts  or  lumps  as  you  describe  iu  a  cat’s  or 
other  aiilniaVs  ears,  we  cannot  account  for  their 
appearance. 
Oeo.  If.  ii,—“  Charlton's  Grapo  Grower’s 
Guido,”  whieh  costs  only  75c.,  will  furnish  yon 
with  tho  desired  information  iu  regard  to  forcing 
grapes  under  glass.  As  you  ask  our  opinion  in 
respect  to  tho  culture  of  grajies  under  glass  as 
an  “  investment,”  we  will  say  that  a  great  many 
more  persons  have  found  the  business  unprofita¬ 
ble  than  jirofitable. 
B.  G.  P. — (1.)  It  maybe  that  yon  give  your 
plum  trees  bw  much  manure,  which  would,  per¬ 
haps,  account  for  their  not  hearing  more  fruit. 
But  as  high  culture  would  not  causo  mgiroduc- 
tiveuess  when  the  trees  attuimsi  some  age,  we 
are  inclined  to  think  that  plum  curoulios  arc 
about.  These  insects  sting  the  plums  wliilo  tlioy 
are  small,  causing  them  to  fall  off,  and  this  is 
why  tho  crop  is  short.  There  is  not  tlic  least 
difficulty  in  raising  large  and  healthy  plum  trees 
anywhere  about  this  city  or  over  in  New  Jersey, 
but  the  curculio  makes  short  and  clean  work 
with  the  fruit,  consequently  few  persons  try  to 
raise  plums  iu  tho  region  of  country  named. 
(2.)  Wo  cauuot  tell  how  to  prevent  peai's  be¬ 
coming  knotty  or  cracking  open  before  they  are 
ripe,  as  is  so  frequently  seen  in  such  vax'ieties  as 
the  Virgalieu  and  Beurre  Biel.  Ashes  put 
around  the  trees  aud  over  the  ground  as  far  as 
the  roots  extend  will  do  good,  if  anything ;  hut 
a  never-failing  preventive  for  cracking  of  the 
fruit  or  for  blight  upon  tUo  branches  remains  to 
be  discovered. 
Thoma.s  7/.— Many  a  time  have  we  answered 
your  question  iu  the  negative,  and  we  now  re¬ 
peat,  “Cows  canuct,  and  never  do,  lose  what  is 
termed  the  cud."  What  a  sad  predicament  all 
“  ruminant  ”  animals  would  have  been  left  iu  by 
their  Creator  if  they  were  liable  to  lose  their  cud 
every  time  somebody  gave  them  a  kick,  chased 
them  down  hill,  or  wheu  they  happened  to 
cough  suddenly  from  getting  a  little  hayseed  or 
dust  do\m  their  tbi'oats !  No,  no!  Nature  puts 
a  better  finish  to  her  works  than  all  that,  aud 
ordinary  accidents  are  provided  for.  Tho  very 
name  of  the  order  of  animals  to  which  the  cow 
belongs,  Ttuminanlia,  or  lluminants,  explains 
the  ijhilosoiihy  of  what  is  called  “  chewing  of 
the  cud.”  Itumlnate  means  to  remastloatu  or 
chew  over.  The  ox,  cow,  sheep,  goat,  deCr  and 
other  animals  belonging  to  the  order  of  ilumi- 
nants  “bolt”  their  food  somewhat  hastily  and 
almost  whole,  depositing  it  in  llio  first  stomach, 
and  then,  at  their  leisure,  bring  np  a  little  at  a 
time  to  remasticate,  when  they  again  srvallow  it, 
this  time  sending  it  to  the  seeund  stomach  or  re¬ 
ceptacle.  This  remasticating  is  termed  “chew¬ 
ing  the  cud,”  aud  it  is  nothing  more  or  loss. 
Cows  do  not  lose  their  cud  while  there  is  any¬ 
thing  remaining  in  theii'  stomachs  to  be  remas- 
tioated.
