QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Our Agricultural Editors Weekly Chat With His
Readers.

"a neighbor of mine, who has a very fine and
productive apple orchard, says that his trees look
so well because he treats them to dose of sulphur
by boring holes III their stems, in which he puts
about q teaspoonful of powdered sulphur, and then
plugs up the hole What is the experience of
fruit growers with this practce?'-T. c., Delaware
county, Ohio.
Ans: 1t is very safe to say that the sulphur
has no influence whatever in making trees
healthy. The sulphur will stay there for years
without change, and dose of cOrnmeal or sand
might as well he applied in this way. 1t is
wholly valueless.
j. II. L., Of Lasellsville, n. Y, asks for the
name and address of parties in Texas who are
breeding Shetland ponies, as noticed in late
number of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. We
have not been able to ascertain the names of
the parties referred to; perhaps some Of our
readers can tell US.
A correspondent, who subscribes himself as
Northern Reader" asks if tomatoes can be
successfully raised by cuttings, or whether or
not cuttings rooted in the fall and kept in a
gEeen-hOuse all winter, as he keeps coleus and
other plants to set out in spring, would be
better in any way than plants from spring
sown seed. To this we reply that the plants
from cuttings Will bear earlier fruit than those
from seed sown at the time mentioned.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBCSE:
Will some of your good readers kindly send
recipe for paste that will not crack; and also for

I venture to send you the following suggestion
about the artistic arrangement of Pjcture-Cards:
Paste together pieces OF tough paper INTO straight
strip long enough to reach from chairbOard to cell
ing. Arrange the cards upon this in some pretty,
effective way with irregular twists and turns, TO
prevent any stiffness primness. Probably the
original paper strip will need to be added to or cut
away. Tack the strip at top and bottom III the
middle of bare stretch of wall, if possible; Ii not.
put it at the side of door. This arrangement OF
cards is called an Alaska Column" and might be
effective in room III which there are other fam

rEro,n HE pil,sb.,..or Lcrllcr J

We would respectfully call the attention Of tho0s
Congressman who hate unjust discrimination to
one class of mcritorious soldiers who have been
grossly neglected and ignored in the various sweep
Ing pension acts that have been passed and pension
bills that about to pass. We refer TO the well
men OF the late volunteer army OF the Republic.
True this class is not large one. Ii IS fur outnUm-
bcred not indeed by the who lost legs or arms
or We're otherwise obviously and seriously disabled,
but by the immense host Of men who without any
injury visible to the naked eye recalled by the
memory of comrades, have received large pensions
under the arrears bill or other OF the recent
bills that have thrown the doors of the Pension
Bureau wide open to every fellow that ms robust
conscience and can find COmplaisant line officers
and accommodating doctors to certify him through.
But, though few in numbers this class rule,
did It's duty well as any other class Of soldiers,
and good deal better than the sgarms of slultzers
and canp-tolbwcrs who have perjurcd their way
on to the pension list, and chuckledto think that
they have received from $500 to s. 100 apiece for
the kicks of horses they never suffered the dys-
pepsia they contracted from Gluttony at home, and
the pains and aches and crIcl<s in the back, which
come to everybody with advancing years. but which
they have skillfully ascribed to exposure in the
army.

logue we extract the following on keeping
grapes:
Grapes are winter-keeping fruit, and very
valuable for that purpose. Concord Is the poorest
keeper, but we keep it to January without the
least trouble, and Catawba ana aga"am may De
kept much longer. Simply pack ripe grepes In
boxes holding not over ten pounds, put on cover,
and keep as near freezing point AS, as you can ana
What greater luxury, and more healthtul' thah
fresh grapes OH the table all winter and no one Is
SO poor he may not enjoy a plenty of his own
growing. We often hear tedious directions for
keeping grapes by wrapping, burylng in Jars, IN
sawdust, &c. They will keep well by such treat
mGnt but IL is all useless trouble. Grapes keep as
well as apples if our directions are followed We
place in cellar when first gathered, in baskets or
boxes, uncovered, where they stand two weeks, or
until the stems shrivel, permitting closer packing
They are then packed in boxes rs above, all de-
fectve berries being removed. Tons of grapes are
thus kept at the vineyards during winter and mar
keted As the orders come IN. Actually less loss
occurs than with apples. The value of grapes Tor
winter use is but family appreciated.
THE OYsTER-PLANT.
The Satisfy. or Oyster plant is cultivated for
its roots; these are carrot-like in shape and
white in color; they are cooked in soups or as
a vegetable dish, and are esteemed by many
persons for their oyster-lille taste; they are
sometimes sliced and stepped in vinegar, which
is said TO improve their flavor. 1t Is ranked as
one of the most salubriOus of culinary vege-
tables, being antlDlllOuS, COOLING, ucoD9tIuchts
and slightly aperient. 1t is cultivated in a
similar manner to carrots. The soil should,
preferably, be somewhat light, rich, and deeply
worked, to allow the easy downward extension
Of the roots. The seeds are sOwn in spring IN
drills, which should not be less than two feet
apart and as the plants grow they are thinned
out so as to be about ten inches apart in the drill
The roots will be fit for use in early winter,
when they may be lifted and stored away in
sand in cool cellar, or they may be left in the
ground till wanted; they viii remain good for
cooking purposes until the commencement of
growth i'll spring.
RAILROAD COMPANIES PLANTING TREES.
1t is stated that some of the Western rail-
road companies are preparing to plant quite ex-
tensive tracts of Catalpa and ailantus trees for
ties and for bridge timbers. The catalpai known
to be one of the most durable of all timbers for
ties. The ailantus has also reputation for
great durability and the tree makes rapid
growth. The agitation of the forestry ques-
ton is thus having good results in drawing
public attention to the probable future scarcity
of timber, and the best trees for particular
purposes.

exists why the soldier who carried the mtsl,ct and
made the charge should not receive an amount for
the loss of a leg other disability equal that

reason exists why the pay OF a private should not
equal that OF 4 captain or colonel. Mr.. Van Wycl,
we believe went TO the colonel, and
promoted to be general for conspicuous EaIllntry
