ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Note.— AH M«rs of inquiry must be accom¬ 
panied with the. name arui address of ike writer. 
II is seldom toe can name plants from leaves 
or twigs alone. The Jlvwer is generally indis- 
pensable. 
K. B. H .—The bots will probably pass off in 
the natural way without serious injury to your 
horse. But to prevent them from troubling him 
again, remove the bot eggs from the front legs 
bo Boon as they are deposited there by the fly. 
Horses that aro well and thoroughly groomed 
are seldom or never troubled with hots. The 
hot fly deposits its eggs on the hairs of the fore- 
legB mainly, but sometimes on the breast and 
shoulder, and when the horse licks himself these 
eggs are removed and swallowed, passing di¬ 
rectly into the stomach, where the beat causes 
them to hatch. They cause some irritation, 
which may generally ho alleviated by feeding 
roots, boiled linseed, gum arable, or other sub¬ 
stances of a mucilaginous nature. Prevention, 
however, is better than a cure for bots. 
I. 8. 8 .—It would bo very difficult to keep ap¬ 
ples by burying them in snow, as there could 
scarcely bo any way of regulating the tempera¬ 
ture. There is no better way of preserving ap¬ 
ples over winter than to put them in tight bar¬ 
rels and store in n dry, cool room or collar where 
the temperature can be so regulated that it will 
not go much above the freezing point and never 
below it. We do not know why the Alden Dryers 
are not more numerous, except that they are 
too expensive) for individual farmers or fruit¬ 
growers. 
2V. A. Wheeler .—There may be foreign vari¬ 
eties of the grape which ripen in less time than 
the Hartford Prolific, hut as our climate has not 
afforded us an opportunity of testing the matter 
practically, wo shall have to leave the question 
for Borne one who “knows” to answer.. The 
mixing of cream of tartar and soda in maldng 
what are termed ” soda biscuits ” results in an 
evolution of gas, which permeates the dough 
and makes it light. The effect of the compound 
upon some stomachs is doubtless injurious, while 
upon others no baneful effects are realized. 
Every person must be his own judge in such 
matters in regard to the healtbfulness of certain 
kinds of food. For our pin t, wo believe soda 
biscuits or “salt- rising" bread are fully as 
healthy as the same articles made of yeast, 
which, by the way. is ono of the lowest orders of 
fungi produced tlirough decay or rotting of other 
vegetablo matter. 
L. It, Clinton, Oneida Co., JV. Y. — I desire a 
little information, which you will oblige me by 
communicating tlu'ough the eolnmna of the liu- 
BAL or otherwise, as you may prefer. 1. I have 
a Dwarf Pomegranate which is of two years’ 
growth, is vigorous and apparently healthy, buds 
freely, but never matures its blossoms, as the 
buds invariably drop before opening. It has 
ordiuary window garden culture in the winter 
season, ond is Set out-of-doors in the summer, 
with the same result. Can you assign a reason, 
or make any suggestions in regard to it ? 2. I 
have a specimen of the Bobo of .TeriohoJ (Anns- 
talica hierochuntica), from which I had great 
expectations, from the recommendations given, 
hut And that it and also tho Bosurrecliou Plant 
(so called) show no signs of life, unless wholly 
submerged in water, and oven then the results 
aro quite unsatisfactory. Aro these two last- 
named plants worthy of any attention ? or is the 
failure on my part, owing to my ignoranco of 
the proper manner of treatment ? Any informa¬ 
tion you may find timo to give will l.o thankfully 
received. Axs.—Cut out all weakly branches. 
Givo it a Btrong, rich soil, whether in-doors or 
out. This is the best you can do. To bloom ] 
well, it will require the even temperature and 
protection of glass. The hygromotric sensitive¬ 
ness of different specimens varies. Some will ex¬ 
pand if placed in a moist atmosphere—others if 
the tips oniy of tho roots be placed in water or 
damp moss. You havo seen the most that there 
is to bo seen about them. The Mexican Bestir - 
rection Plant is Selaginella lepiduphylla. 
M. —Your Roses bLouIcI be fumigated at least 
once a week. Dusting with suiphur will prevent ! 
mildew. 
C. A. L. r Franklin. Tenn .—Wo cannot discuss 
religious questions. The best answer to those 
who deny the existence of Goo. and who must, 
therefore, infer that there is no such tiling as 
future reward or punishment, is, so far as we 
know, that of Bishop DuTT.un: “ It is granted,” 
he says, “ oven by Atheists themselves, that in 
the present state wo aro rewarded for some ac¬ 
tions and punished for others; that is, that wc 
find ourselves under a moral government. But, 
if wo exist under such conditions now, when, by 
the supposition, thoro is no God, there can be 
no reason assigned why we may not continue to 
exist after death, and exist under tlia Bame con¬ 
ditions as at present; that is, under a moral 
government, in which wo shall ho rewarded and 
punished according to the character of our ac¬ 
tions.”
