TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Large Motii (Margaret), —Probably the Privet Hawk Moth. Try 
Privet for the Caterpillars. These require earth to bury in when full 
grown. 
Ferns (Idem). — Asplenium adiantum nigrum was called ‘‘Oak 
Fern” by the old herbalists, who applied to it the Greek name Dryop- 
teris. We merely give the names which have been given to the species, 
but do not undertake to justify them. Send us a frond, and we will tell 
you the name. To give the specific distinctions would occupy space and 
time unprofitably. 
Saddle Boiler (A Friend). —We do not remember your sketch, nor 
do we require one; what we need are directions how best to set the boiler. 
We answer all questions without distinction or favour, so soon as we 
obtain the information required. 
Fowls plucking each other (G. H.). —Put your fowls on a lower 
diet and give them abundance of green food. You neither tell us how 
you feed them, nor where you keep them. 
Thinning Peaches and Apricots ( Verax ). — Beyond all doubt 
they ought to be thinned out without “ waiting to see which will stand,” 
The fruit is being injured, and the trees needlessly weakened. 
Poultry Book Supplement (S. T. G.) —Write to Messrs. W. S. 
Orr and Co., Amen Corner, on the subject. 
Vines (I). —We do not know the variety called “ The Pope’s,” but have 
seen the “ Mill Hill Black Hambro’ ” which does not appear to us to 
possess any merits superior to the old Black Hambro’ when that variety 
is well grown. 
Temperatures (J. S.).— We are sorry your table did not reach us. 
It is now too late. 
Woodlice ( D . Eclestone).— No mode of destroying them is known. 
Soot (A Subscriber from the Beginning ).—We are obliged to postpone 
our notes until next week.
