Light and Heat for Plants In Winter

Nowadays there are so many persons m
well settled neighbOrhoOds, and especially
near cities, that seek 20 have something greer
in their living rooms in winter, that some
general directions relating thereto will b,
read with interest
The greatest number or failures are from
the effects of a too dry atmosphere, particu
Iarly where coal is used. The plant i,
gradually dried up, and turns yellow, from
the want of oxygen, and finally dies Such
an atmosphere would be fatal also 10 human
life if the person were confined constantly to
IT, The individual may 60 out in the fresh
air the plant cannot
To Obviate these effects somewhat, water
may be kept on the fire or over the stove, the
evaporation from which will, in a consider
able degree, modify the effects of this burned
air from highly heated stoves. Plants need q
p, ,crful light direct from the sun to enable
them TO grow equally and healthily, and this
is something they seldom get IN rooms. They
therefore should be placed as much a. posi-
BILE in the sun, and, when kept near a window
they should be turned about often. that all
portions of the plant may receive. a. equally
a possible it, direct rays. When bay win.
dow can be had, many OF these difficulties
may be avoided

them as much light and air as possible, wet
ting the foliage regularly, and the avoidance
CT large quantities of water atsthe roots, will
enable any one to bring ordinary house plants
through the winter in fair health.
Those who have small greenhouses or con.
servatories, which they attend themselves,
often allow plants to become unhealthy.
Many are built with too slight grade for
the glass, which, collecting moisture, allows
it to drip back upon the plants. The pitch
of these lean to or span roofs should neve De
less in the rise than one to one. A curyllin-
ear roof is much better and not a great deal
more costly. One great advantage in this
class Of roofs is that larger quantity oflight
is admitted.
Light is said to pass more freely through u
curvilincar roof than through span roof,
for the reason that there is more surface for
the enclosed space and heat. Light and heat
pass more freely through such glass forming
an angle with the horizon rs will enable the
rays of the sun to strike without much deiiec-
ton Consequently plain roof with perpen-
dicular glass sides is the worst possible form,
both for cOnservatories and greenhouses.
Nevertheless, the quality of cheapness often
compensates for this lack Of utility. Light
also passes more easily through clear thin
glass, than colored glass; therefore, it is of
the utmost importance that such be used.
Light and heat, therefore, being so essential
to plants, it is matter of the first conse-
uuence that those contemplating the erection
of greenhouses and cOnservatories should
provide for the admission Of the greatest
amount of this, the life of plants and animals.
Poisonous gases, in exceedingly small
quantity, often act with destructive energy on
plants. A ten.thousandth part of sulphurc
acid gas in the air is fatal to the health of
plants; hence the sickly appearance of trees,
especially evergreens, in large cities The
trouble with sulphurous gases where coal is
burned has now lead pretty generally to the
greenhouses and Conservatives. Indeed
their use is now 50 general, that the man who
should now heat with flues except in particu-
lar cases, would be laughed at They are
only admissible, at best, in temporary struc-
lures. " estern Rurol.

EXPLANATION OF
gxR. ROCHUM CRASTO-

NEW ORLEANS. January "a, 1873.
Pbr4oR REPUBLICAN:
In answer tn the remarks made by Mr.. Hahn in
+be House of representatives OH the twenty third
instant without cause or prsvocatiOn, but for the
simple reason that he found an envelope on his
desk containing a circular, copy of which ap
reared IN this DAVIS Republican can only say that
if the gentleman had read the circular correctly ne
would have found out that which he pfetends not
to know now. However, l will ex lam IL 10 tue
public again, and Mr. Hahn may read 1t II ne so de
sires 1t is for the purpose OF showing our noelJ
patriotism and justice TO the government OF the
United States and the State of Louisiana. (Come
one, come al.
In regard to the hall OF the House Of Representa-
tives in case Mr.. Hahn should find it too full. he
can 20 10 Lafayette Square and rentilate himsef
IA long az he pleases, and enjoy the quantity OF
room he will have there
He said: THE style of the notices inclined him to
think the WI ole thing fraud" deny this asser
ton and defy Nj. Hahn to show wherein any part
Of the notices or circulars indicate fraud 1t is
genuine transaction and is but mark of that es
TEEN In which We hold the subject of the painting
lie is opposed to subscribing to procure An eques-
srian portrait Of General U. S. Grant. BE may do
as he pleases about that. The committee cares
very lit about his donation. The portrait will I've
compile ted without his aid and in spite OF his insin-
uations He understood the painting is very
common affair. BE may believe whatever he
pleases regarding it it is immaterial and Iine will
show the Truth or falsty of this assertion He
saws he is not disposed to lend the scheme his
sanction. Here he refers to the contents Of the
circular.
Well, let us be sincere and frank If we did
send him circular We treated him with the same
respect that W. did the other hon orabe members,
because we thought him a Republican, and regret
to acknowledge that he has shown himself other
wise.
He wants to know by what authorit~ the meet
ing was called for the twenty fifth instant. We
ask him by what au herity does he ask that cues
ton Does he think himself the ruler of the he.
publicar party at large, is he jealous of US OF
angry with himself for allowing tie generous and
noole idea of our undertaking to originate from
auy other source but himselff Mr.. Hahn's only
authority Is to do his duty member Of the
House of RI resentatives and to make investiga-
items according to law through such committees
as Charity Hospital" q" Gas Company" " Water
works" and several others.
In conclusion, this is honest and upright
transaction entirely Invested of all speculative
motives and possessing no features whatever OF
fraud the opinions and assertions OF Michael Hahn
notwithstanding
