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 cording to the scarcity of help. A snsirt. picker expects to make to $:i a day.— Hural New Yorker. —Says the Wood River (Nev.) Neto»: Mining is fascinating. Most men have the common trait of thinking their trade or profession the most onerous of all occupations. But who ever saw a miner who did not consider his business the most alluring way of earning a winter gruli-stakeP One honest miner who had struck it rich enough to buy into a mercantile house said that ten hours were never so short as when delving in the rocky tunnels, expecting each stroke to reveal the shining metal. —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 vaccinated.” —Near Shady Grove, La., James Pierce observed bear tracks in a swamp, ami organized a hunting party. While the men and dogs were in the swamp Mr. Pierce walked through the Jields adjacent unarmed. Suddenly a big bear came tearing out of the swamp. Pierce knew it would get away if not turned biek. so he seized a club and ehared bruin back and forth through the fields, whacking him well mean while, until Vw animal at length turned to the swamp again, where it was shot and killed. _ — A Chinaman Who Can get one thou- mnd dollars together in this country mil return home will rank as a big gun ill the rest of his life anti live ou the let of the land.

A pelican measuring nine feet from tip to tip was killed at Bishop Creek, California. Tom Harris was killed in the Van couver, B. C., coal mines by the roof caving on him. A thirty-two-stall round house is being built in Missoula by the North ern Pacific railrod. The Canadian Pacific are building an immense freight shed 75 x 500 feet at Vancouver, B. C.

A train on the Central Pacific ran int i a band of sheep at Humboldt House, Nev , and killed fifty head. John Rogers was executed at Eureka, Cal., on April 29th for the murder of a man whose house he was robbing. John C. Seavey, of Port Gamble, W.

Aliout $20,000 worth of jewelry, dia monds and other effects have been thus fur recovered out of the ruins of the Del Monte hotel, at Monterey, Cal. Contract has been let for the con struction of thirty miles of the Seattle & Eastern Railroad, and clearing the right of way. Seattle residents secured the contract. J. F. Klumpf, a young man engaged in the produce and general merchan dise business at Folsom, Cal., was shot dead in Sacramento recently by an un known party. Lt is stated on good authority that the division terminus of the Oregon Short Line will lie removed from Glenn’s Fer-y to Shoshone as soon as the new time card is issued. While a Southern Pacific freight train was crossing a trestle near San Fernando, Cal., fourteen ears went down into the river. No one was hurt. The company’s loss is $10,000. A terrible railroad accident occurred about two miles above Cle-eluin, W.T. There was a collision of work trains. Five men were killed outright and about twelve seriously wounded. About four moil hs ago Captain Winn and Charles Reed were found foully murdered in ’their cabin near Cariboo, I.

His left eye was totally destioyed. Several years ago he lost the right eye. A fatal accident occurred at the Idahonian mine, Bellevue, I. T., by which Thomas Walker and Arelfe Watson were killed by a blast, while extracting an uuexploded charge in an old drill hill. Walker was killed outright and Watson lived five hours. Shortly after his death the miners presented $700 to Walker’s faniilv. ^REGULATOR, DYSPEPSIA Up to a few week« ago I considered myself the champion Dyspeptic of America.
