Of the land proper for Hop ground,

Of the land proper for Hop ground
Plants in general send their roots deeper and
further in search of nourishment, than is COM
monty thought none more than hops. For this
reason, in preparing land for them, if the upper
part be a great deal better than what is under it,
the work must be done in the way of trenchng,
and the fine part of the soil buried undermost.
When the land is over nlAIst, it must be laid up
in high ridges, to be well drained. And when it
has been thus managed at first, it must be kept
in the same condition, by keeping the drains OPP
on and clear. Clayey soils to be avoided and
there are two others as bad these are the gray
ely and rocky In neither Of these, hops will
ever answer, but in any other theym be rais-
ed and if the worst kinds be planted on the
more Indifferent lands, and the finer reserved for
the best, with due care they never will fail
Hops exhaust land extremely They may be
planted after almost any other growth but no
other will thrive after them, except trees, which
root deeper and spread farther than they. When
the farmer has laid his plan for hop ground, let
him plant it at the time with apple and
cherry trees. These want little nourishnlent
while young therefore the hops will very we'll
stand twelve years with advantage. At the end
of that period the right practice is to make new
hop ground IN another place. By this time the
cherry tree will bear They will continue inn
proving every year, for some time, and will last
very well five and twenty years; at the end Of
this time, they may be cut down, and the apple
will be then in fine order.

Georgotown, District Of Coluabia.
ROMULUS RIGGS,

At his Office, next door below Craw-
forfs tavern. Bridge-st. Georgetown,
will exchange all kinds Of Bank Notes on
the most reasonable tems.-All persons
who may have notes on the banks OF North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia,
would do well to call on him, as he is
largely in the purchase of that kind of mo-
ney, and will take it on the most rcasona-
BILE terms.-Persons travelling TO the West
ern Country may at all times get the Bank
Notes of the Western Banks at fair dis
count, by calling at his Office. For the in
formation of all persons throughout the U:
States, R. Riggs makes it known, that all
of the Banks of the Distrist of Columbia
pay their notes on demand in specie; and
il would be much to the advantage of the
merchants, and trading to the South and
west, to encourage the circulation of the
Notes of the Banks of Georgetown, Wash
ington and Alexandria, as it will at all
times answer for remittances to the large
commercial and Atlantic towns ;-all per-
sons emigrating or travelling to the west
ward should be very particular and take
the Notes of the Banks of the District Of
Columbia, as they will lind them the most
current, there being no counterteits on the
District Banks. The Merchants Bank of
Alexandria has long since failed-ali per-
sons should be on their guard, as they will
be imposed on. August Ia
