Any land adapted to growing corn
will be suitable for hops. The soil
should be good and well prepared, just
before the time of setting, which should
be done as soon as the ground will ad­
mit of being well tilled. The roots, or
hop setts, as they are called, are sprouts
thrown out from tho crown, and ar»
full of eyes, and may be cut in pieces
two o- three inches in length. Thera
should always l>e two or three eyes on
each piece. The setts are sold by the
bushel. Two or three roots should be
put into each hill. They should be
planted by hand in lulls six feet square
or seven feet bv eight. In rich land
the wider space is preferable, as
the vines will fully occupy tlie
ground, and if placed closer together
they could not be cultivated with a
horse. The land may be marked out
to indicate the places for setting the
roots, and afterward a hill of p itatoes
or corn—the first being preferable—
may be planted between each hill of
hops in the same row, and another row
half way between the hop rows. If
these are made equal spaces apart, all
of the rows will be in line so that a
a cultivator may be worked between
them and the land bo kept clean. By
this plan a good crop may be had in
the hop ground the first year, and the
laud be kept clear of weeds —grass and
weeds will spoil a hop crop, and.on
this account freedom from foulness is
imperative. Before cold weather two
or three forkfuls of manure must be
thrown directly on the top of the
crowns of the hop plants to protect
them through the winter ami to give
them a start in the spring.
Tlie
second year the poles should be set, one
or more in a hill, or wire should be
stretched across the field along the
rows on high posts with wires hanging
down to which to attach the vines.
The poling must be done early, so
that the vines can ba trained upon
them, or to the wires as soon as they
start. Ever» few days the yard should
be gone over to fasten all stray vinos to
the poles or wires. As soon as the
ground is tit a cultivator should be
started and kept going enough so that
lhe land will be mellow all the season
ami free from grass or weeds. In the
spring, after freezing weather is over,
the manure on the crowns or hills
may be raked out ami put around the
hills. E.u-li autumn there should be
t lie same manuring; each spring the
same care should be observer! with
poles and
stringing the vines,
and
the same careful culture
should be given. When all this is
done a yard will last a half-dozert
years or more and do well. There is
not much difference in the cost and
labor between the pole and wire sys­
tems. The latter is patented. Poles
can be had at various prices, according
to quality, cedar being the best as
well as the dearest in first cost. They
mostly dome from Canada.
Hiqia,
when well set and cultivated, will
often produce as good a crop the sec­
ond year after planting as afterwards.
As soon as the hops are ripe they
should be picked and the poles stacked.
Pickers are paid by the laix-fiill
usually, and not l>y the day's work.
The price varies in localities, ami ac­

—Speaking of the anti-vaccination
movement, the London Lancet says:
"The day of reckoning has yet to come,
and unless there lie an amendment,
which we can hardly hope for until the
lesson has been learned by a bitter ex­
perience, the populations of the unpro­
tected unions will some day have cause
to envy those communities which, in
tliis matter, have not blindly followed
the guidance of fanatics, who, by the
way. are almost invariably themselves
