Hop Notes.
The bop giowers of Central New York have
formed an association for the purpose of ad
vancing the interests of this branch of agricul
ture. Oneida, Madison, Onondaga and Mont
gomery counties were represented, and these
combined form the most important hop dis
trict of the United States.
A committee composed of prominent hop
growers reported the following resolutions,
whloh were nnammously adopted:

favor of the enactment of a law regulating the
size of boxes, and making it the duty of the
Sealer of Weights and Measures to inspect and
mark annually each box used by growers in
which to pick hops, and making it a misde
meanor to use boxes not thus inspected and
marked.
It was resolved that the Mze of the bop-pick.

were given full discretion as to the method and

The point concerning the price to bo paid for

The Cooperstown Journal, of August 19th.
has the following hop item: "There bas been
uninterrupted progress with the growing hop
crop duting tho past week. With scarcely an
exception the reports from far and near are to
the effect that the crop will bo very largo, and
from present appearances tbo crop will be good.
Some of the early varieties are now beinu har

distriot of the State next week. Again we urge
upon growers the great importance to them
selves of unusual care in the picking and curing
of their bops. And those who desire a ready
sale should not select tbo heaviest sacking they
can find, nor bring tbeir hops to market in
small bales; these should range from 200 to 250
pounds. If there is an early oxport demand,
even at quite moderate figures, our dealers
should be enabled to meet it promptly and
liberally with prime hops."
Hops in Wisconsin.
We learn from the Iteedeburg (Wis.) Free
Press. August 2Ctb, that the hop growers of
Sauk county, tho great bop district of Wiscon
sin, met in convention at Iteedsbnrg, August
21st, and passed the following resolutions:
1st Establishing a uniform price of picking
hops, at twenty-five cents per box and board.
2d. Not to pick hops until ripe; pick clean;
and bale in now, clean sacking.
The same paper contains the following rather
discouraging view of tho weather situation:
"Tho weather has moderated since Monday
morning; in fact, to-day (Thursday) may be
called decidedly hot, and at the hour of going
to presi, showers ocour every few minutes.
Just the weather to develop bop lice, and
should the woather continue warm, there is
every reason to fear that tho crop will bo badly
injured. Bat we will hopo otherwise."

Money in Wheat.
From l'iclflo Rural Fross.
Whon poDplo talk about "money in wheat,"
they are tupposod to refer to the money that is
to como out of it to compensate tho producer;
but before it can be converted into the bread
we eat, it must bo manipulated by the tight
fisted money lender as well as by tho hard-fisted
farmer or fair handed house-wifo. And even
though "the farmer feedeth all," he is not ex
pected to do it in the spirit that the bird feedoth
its young. He must bo paid for it; and before
he can get his pay, other hands than the tra
ditional "homy" ones must tako hold of the
grain.
The Record-Union thus points out somo of
the complicated conditions between money and
wheat: "Wbilo tho production of wheat has not
been as large in this Stato this year as it was
last, or has been for the past three seasons, the
prico it commands is good, and consequently
a larger amount of money is required to
move tho present orop in proportion to its
bulk. Tho farmers' money is legitimately cm
ployed in the production, and, as a tule, tho
necessities of tho farmor jendor it imperative
that bo should roalizo on his year's products at
an early nay attor getting tuom ready for mar
ket. As the wheat orop of tho Stato is road
for markot at about tbo same time a very large
amount ot luonoy is rcquirod to pay tuo pro
ducers for it, and to move it from tho iuteri or
to.tho seaboard and place it on vessels, where
it must be before English money can bo ob
tained for it. In commercial phrase, it re
quires money to move tbo wheat crop. A scarc
ity of money at tho tiino when the wheat crop
is required to be moved, operates as a great
hardship to the farmor; for, if money is scarce,
buyers will bo comparatively few and competi
tion Blight and tho market constantly weak
Suoh has been the situation iu this State siuco
the opening of the present crop year, July 1st.
Though priced havo ruled good, there bus not
been that activity there would have been hud
money been plenty, nor have prices been as
tiff as thoy would havo been. The shipment
of so large an amount of coin East this year, to
a certain extout, noco tints for tbo scarcity of
money here, and the consequent difficulty wo
are laboring under. Since January 1st, tbo
shipment have been ccunparod to the ship
ments during the sumu time last year, as fol

off this supply at the very time when it was most
needed, 'lbs effect must bo to weaken tuo price
and demand for wheat, and thus to operate as

was impossible, however, Professor Blake dis
covered, to obtain any satisfactory information
as to the mineral wealth of the island; and he
determined that only actual investigation would
enable him to ascertain with what minerals he
bad to deal, and how Japanese labor could be
best utilized for their development according to
the most approved modern methods. The
summer months were spent in explorations of
the mining localities within 125 to 150 miles of
Hakodate, extending ovor tuo greater part ot
tho country lying to the north and west of Vol
cano Bay. Professor Blake made several ex
peditions of this character, returning each time
to Hakodute and reporting progress to the
governor. The party travelled upon horseback,
and woro kindly and hospitably treated at tho
various Japanese inns where they stopped.
They subsisted in great part upon Japanese
food, being able to obtain good fish iu almost
every locality. Salmon nnd other fine varieties
abound in tbo rivers, and are caught in large
numbers by the Ainos. Trout also are plenti
ful, especially in the upper parts of the river
and In their brunches; great quantities aro
caught and dried, forming an important articlo
of export. Among the many marine pro
ducts utilized by the inhabitants and mado arti
cles of commerce, are the coarser varieties of
seaweed. The bottor kinds aro found on the
western coast, as also a great many other sea
products, such as brfebe-de-mer, echini, haliotis
and cuttle fish. Game abounds in tho interior,.
loer horns being an important article of export.
The population of Yesso is over estimated.
Hakodate and Matamai aro the principal cities.
There are a number of Japauese trading and
fishing villages along the coast each way from
Hakodate, but as 'one goes farther north the
number of Ainos, or "hairy u.en" increases.
Thoy penotrate the furthest recesses of the
mountains in tho interior, hunting and fishing.
and from them is gained tho best knowledge of
tbo interior. They pay tribute in many ways
to tbo Japaneso, and aro, apparently, very
dooilo aud gontlo. Physically they are well
formed, muscular and active. Under proper
guidance they would, undoubtedly, be of great
use as laborors. Their habitation extends even
to Sagalin and tho Kuril islands, and all names
of rivers, mountains, etc., north of Volcano
bay are Aino. Tho interior of Yesso is moun
tainous and rugged, but covered with a fine
growth of docitluous trees, the onk and chest
nut, particularly, abounding. A considerable
way system of the United States are perfectly
astounding, and would have been thought ut-1
terly improbable if not impossible a quarter of I
a century ago.
In no way, perhaps, can an idea of tho
national progress and wealth of the country be
better formed than by a cousidera'ion of the
labor, machinery and capital involved in the
railway system of the country. The question
of the control and management of this immense '
and powerful interest, is becoming one of the
very first importance. I s proper management I
is absolutely essential to national prosperity. I
The people cannot afford to allow an open an
tagonism between it and themselves. lUilroad
corporations are creatures of the government
the people. If they fail to give reasonable
satisfaction the power that made must and will i
re-make, and re-adjust on principles of equity. If j
the riant to do so is out of our reach, we are
living under an oligarchy infinitely more dan
gerous than the most absolute autocracy which '
oxists on earth. I
The Habits of the Trout.
The trout is, compared to every other Eng
lish river fish, exceedingly swift and keen
sighted, and this peculiarity is shown in its
mode of seizing its prey. The so-called coarse
fish, the dace, roach and chub, bang about in
shoals in mid water, or nearer the top than tho
bottom of the river; and when they feed on
flies, they lift themselves in a somewhat leis
urely, and, as it were, meditative way to the
surface, and suck in the insect in a particularly
sure and deadly way. If that fly happens to
bo artificial and to conceal a barbed hook, the
very determined manner in which it is seized,
and in which the fish slowly turns and sinks
below the surface, ensures its being firmly im
planted in the leathery jaws of the dace, chub '
or roacn. it is nardiy necessary lor tne "an
gler" to strike to give that slight turn of the
wrist on which so much depends in fly-fishing I
lor trout, very aim-rent is it witn tne trout.
He seldom disports himself in mid water. He
is serious, and not, like the so-called "coarse
fish," a gregarious animal." He loves conceal

Ayer's Hair Vigor
von
RESTORING GRAY HAIB
TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
Advancing years, sick
nesB, care, disappoint'
ment, and hereditary
predisposition, all turn
the hair gray, and either
of them incline it to shed
prematurely.
Ateb'b Haits Vioob, by
long and extensive use,,
has proven that it stops
tho falling of the hair
immediately, often re
news the growth, and always surely restores Its color,
when faded or gray. It Btimclates the nutritive organs
to healthy activity, and preserves both the hair and it
beauty. Thus brashy, weak or sickly hair becomes
gloBsy, pliable and strengthened; lOBt hair regrows with
lively expression : falling hair is checked and stabllshed;
thin hair thickens; and faded or gray hair resume their
original color. Its operation is sure and harmless. It
cures dandruff, heals all humors, and keeps the scalp
cool, clean and soft under which conditions, disease
of the scalp aro impossible.
Asa dressing for ladies' hair, the Vioon is praised for
its grateful and agreeable perfume, and valued for the
soft luster and richness of tone it Imparts.
