Eccentric Hospitality.

During the late war, a soldier who
had been wounded and honOrably dis
charged being destitute and benighted,
knocked at the door of an Irish farmer,
near Pittsburg, when the following dia-
logue ensued:

Soldier-My name is John Wilson.
Patriek-And where the divil are you
going from, John Wilson?
Soldier-From the army of the Shen-

HOP CULTURE. correspondent of
the New York World says that England
is now paying from 910 to E12 per cwt.
equal to 20 to SOC. per pound in our
currency. Such extravagaut prices
will be likely to stir the Yankee blood
to fever heat. True, hops are subject
to diseases, and so are our other crops.
Like our grains and fruits they have
enemies that prey upon them, and we
should learn to contend with these diff
culties. The English hop-planter
destroys the hop louise by an applica-
ton of strong tobacco water. We can
do the same. He cures the mould with
-four of sulphur. We have not yet
been troubled with that disease, and
there are many others which have not
afflicted us.
The following remarks on the Guilt
walton of this crop are by the Rural
American:
"The ground intended for the hop
yard should be well manured. then
ploughed in April, dragged and marked
four feet each way; then with hoe
on every other mark each way dig a
hole about three inches deep, into
which drop q hop root from three to
six inches long; then cover it with dirt
to make it level. The root, if it does
well, will throw up a spout from each
joint. Every other hill on the hop
row, and next row entire, can be plant
ed to corn or beans, as the hops do not
require to be poled the first SUMMER
Every fall each hill of hops must have
| A. 10 f,.n
put on it, to enrich the ground, and
protect the roots from freezing.
The following spring the manure
must be pitched off from the
hills. and the runners, if any, dug out
and cut of, to prevent them from
spreading all over the ground, and to
preserve the hills in their places. There
are but few runners the first spring,
but plenty afterwards. After the run
ners are removed, the poles can be set,
two to each hill, about one foot apart
at the bottom, with the tops spread far
enough apart to prevent the vines from
running from one pole to the other,
and to make the tops of the poles in
the yard an equal distance from each
other. The next thing is to plough,
commencing in the centre between the
rows, and turning the burrows from the
hill until you get near enough 10 each
row, then turn and plough the other
way after that reverse the furrow,
turning toward the hill the rest can
be done with the cultiyator or hoe,
keeping the ground clean and mellow.
Put the vines around the poles from
right to left, and tie with the yarn raw
eled from an old stocking. This is full
of kinks and will stretch and not dam
age the vine as it grows. The hops are
generally ready to pick the last of Au
gust or the first of September. From
ten to fifteen hundred pounds is the
yield per acre"

AGRICULTURAL.
FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.

ORNAMENTAL AND SHADE TREES. An
imperative want of the northwest is,
shade, shelter, and timber. The native
forests will soon be consumed by the
ceaseless demands of civilization, and
the rapid growing Naples and Poplars
should be grown to mingle with coal
and peat in supplying this great ne
cessiy, fuel. Five to ten acres of these
trees well cared for, five years, will
ever after yield full supply of burning
material for an ordinary family, and
the cost so little, none should neglect
it. Praire farmers especially should
awake to this subject; You who are pay
ing for wood, an annual interest on ten
to twenty acres of woodland at fifty
dollars per acre, plant seeds and cut
tings, or buy good young trees of those
who grow them.
Evergreens are every way superior
Cor windbreaks, ornamental screens,
and cemetery hedging, but will not be
grown from seed by one in thousand
who try. Farmers should purchase
only those which from recent trans
planting have become well furnished
with fibrous roots; buy nothing from
seed-bed or forest.
A very fine summer ornamental
screen can be made by planting sim
gle line of the common purple Lilac
Sgyinga VuigOris-one foot apart-al-
lowing them to stool out, and one prun-
ing annually, in autumn, will keep
them in good shape. Their fine foliage
and beautiful blossoms are not equaled

Twill come IN for place here, for
with its pretty foliage, pink and white

A GREAT INVENTION IN BEE.Cu1rUR,

A GREAT INVENTION IN BEE CUIFURE.
The Bee papers of Europe and this
country are filled with account of a
discovery of an italian Apiarest, of q
method of emptying combs of honey
without injuring them. The process is
exceedingly simple and consists only
in slicing off the caps of the cells, and
then causing the comb to revolve on the
periphery of q wheel or cylinder, which
empties one side of honey--then the
other side is turned and emptied. Lii
quids upon bodies which are whirled or
revolved tend to fly off bywhat is called
centrifugal force. In this case the rev.
olution is so graduated that only the
honey flies off, the dead bees, beebread,
etc., remain behind, so that not only is
the comb saved, but the honey is purer
and better than that strained. The
temperature requisite to success, is
about 500 Fahrenheit, which is gained
in warm room, or on a summer day.
The value of this invention may be
the better appreciated, when it is known
that it requires the consumption by the
bees, of 10 to 20 pounds of honey les
Inmates vary), to make i pound of wax,
consequently, that the comb requires
for its construction the use OF just
about as much honey as it will contain
when filed. 1t may be found that In
the economy of bee life, it is essential
| for the bees to make or excrete GER
tain amount of wax in order to remain
in good health-but this is hardly pro-
bable, for it has long been the practice
of bee-keepers to save empty or partly
filed combs with scrupulous care, and
give them to the bees. And no bad
results have ever been noticed.

DEEP PLowING. -"F. W." writes the
Maine Farmer in favor of deep plow-
ing to secure good crops. He adds:
"Twelve years ago sold my little farm,
and the purchaser failing to pay for it,
it came back into my own hands some
five years since. l found the building
in dilapidated state, the fences mostly
used mp for fuel, the soil much deteri-
GRATED, and the place entirely over
grown with witch grass. The man that
bought it pursued the skimming meth
cd of farming, by blowing only five or
six inches deep, which rendered the soil
too shoal to produce any remuneratiye
crop without the application of much
manure. The Swimming manner of
culture had, in fact, been in operation
SO long, that the soil was about as in
capable of producing a crop of any val
ne as skinned milk is of producing
good butter or rich cheese" Deep
blowing was substituted for the ''skim-
ming" process, and the land is nowj be-
coming productive again.
