Hop Growing in Kansas.

Kansas Is promising production. The
bloody t-hts aud raids which accompanied
It's beginning now give way peaceful
agriculture, alL since it is established that
slave labor shall not be permitted there,
It Is being proved what free labor can do.
1t has been discovered that nOps are an
indigenous product Of the State; that they
grow wild, and need nothing but gathering.
The quantity and quality are both improv-
ed by culture. but without either there is
a very considerable yield. A Mr.. Spona-
bic, who was raised among the abundant
hop plantations OF New York, writes that
he has seen more hops grow wild in this
(Johnson couuty) part of Kansas than
ever saw in the State of New York. They
are larger, and when used side by side with
hops sent from New York, find the wild
variety the best. | gathered a bushei by
the roadside last tall in fifteen minutes, and
they were large. Land can be bought here
for from s. so to $40 per acre, all covered
with hops. We have home market, and
might supply the east No person here
thinks Of the hop business Men might
make ten or more dollars per day, through
September aud October, picking hops, with
out one cent of capital, as the land lies in
commons, in tr cts of many thousands acres
Hop culture has grown to such import
alce in this county and Europe that the
profits Of cultivation, where the native ca
pacity is so great, must be very important
The increasing demand has stimulated pro
duction in regions where the disadvantages
are many, and where the whole croD is
sometimes lost. IT, thro Ugh any consider
BILE portion of Kansas, what is reported
true Of johnson county is also true, the
settlers there have n mine of wealth at
their command, not less certain than would
be mine of gold. In Europe Ii" valleys
of the finest rivers are appropriated to this
agriculture The same demand will be
found in America, and as great profit can
be realized, since our domestic eonsump-
ion is large, and at low prices we may ex-
port to all the shores of the Atlantic.

MISCELLANEOUS,
Eretfulness.

FretfuIness is a great lender of mis-
cry. 1t begins its loans to very
young borrowers; and there is great
danger that if its debtors draw on it
early they will become sad spendthrifts
Of misery, and scarcely ever be able
to free themselves from the clutches
Of their hard task and creditor There
is nothing more successful in making
people unnecessarily miserable than a
fretful, discontented spirit. 1t works
i'll in two ways; it causes its victims to
think bally of themselves, and (what
is worse) to think bad Y of other peO-
pie, too. Fretfulness and peevishness
are very much under our own control.
Men can choose to what extent they
will permit circumstances to have in
tiuence over them, and the character
of that influence. An eccentric per-
son. of the JOhnsonian school, has
made a sort of fable on this subject.
He maintains that all kinds of wealth
er may be made charming to a man if
he so will; that if he will 60 out in the
rain, without any defence, and pre-
tend to know nothing about the show
ers, the rain will cease for him, each
drop exclaiming 1T is no use raining
upon that man, he does not mind it
There is a moral to that fable; ard we
may be sure that if, instead of allow
ing every slight incident in personal,
social or family life to ruffle our tenn
pers and make us wretched, we were
determined to regard fewer of them
the wear and tear of life would be
much less, and days and hours would
pass more pleasantly. In every house
every day there are trivial circumstan-
ces which, if dwelt upon, will cause
trouble for long time, but which are
so small that they should never be no.
ticed Said Cervantes, Hast thou a
! mind to quarrel with thy wife? Bid
4 her bring water to thee in the sun
shine: very fair quarrel may be about
notes in the clearest water Yes !;
! great misery--all borrowed, none of it
necessary-is brought to families by
the fretful, captious, querrulous scold-
ings that occur every day ; by the RI
diculous, prosecuting, vexing, vixenish
notice taken of paltry things at home.
Fathers and mothers! i! brothers and
sisters. if our homes are to be happy,
Joyous places, hunt out mere tretful-
ness, and make the love borne by one
to the other as considerate to mutual
happiness as is the courtesy that ls
paid by and to strangers.

4 AGRIgUhYU URAh,
Cutting Noxious Weeds.

The very best time in all the seasons to
cut noxious weeds-the time when it will
injure them most-is when the pauicles,
heads, or buds, begin to form. If tory
weeds, horse dock and Canada thistles be
moved close at that stage of their growth,
it will hurt them so severely that they will
not recover until late iu the summer. And,
if they be cut again as soon as they form
seed buds, they will be feeble and will not
prick much the next season.
Bull thistles, which occupy large share
of the ground in pastures, should be cut
off with sharp, broad hoes, about two
inches below the surface of the soil, Then
the water will fill the depression made with
the hoe, aud soak into the roots and destroy
them.
If they are moved off, they will continue
to grow, and go to seed. They will -four
ish, it is true only this year, as they are
