The Hop Mdni0.

A strange and contagious fever has prevailed
lately in the rural districts Of Iowa, Wisconsin
aud Illinois, and isolated cases are reported
East, and Ia various other parts OF the country
This u the hop culture fever. II is VI the same
nature as those known as the hen fever. the sheep
fever. the sorghum fever, aud the mulberry fever,
aud i Of such a nature that Il cannot be reached
by the most skillful physicians, or the most sub
tile drugs. Every now aud then We meet with
. man who, knowing somebody who knows
somebody who has made his fortune IN hops, Is
about 20 venture upon the same eea ~ speculation
hoping 10 meet with like succrss.
The reason that the fever or mania prevails 50
largely al the West Is that great demand has
becu created by the repeated failures ~ the crop
IN the East, Is well as by the increased conslmp.
ton Of beer, owing 10 the high tax on spirits
The price Of hops has thus been brought up to
four iimes the cost OF production. The price has
been kept up for several yeats aud the produc-
tion u constantly increasing. II is thought that
the area Of land devoted 20 this crop in the
lry at large, must be al least 30 per cent, gteaer
than Il was two years ago, while Ia the West
where only the hop has produced well lately, the
area will he twice n great this year ~ last.
A Chicago paper states that the grca, center 81
the hop-faising business in the United States, Is
Sauk county, Wisconsin. In that county alone,
where three thousand acres were cultivated Ia ho
hss rear, SIX thousand acres are TO be- cultivated
the present year.
A correspondent Of the Rrirorf Gazette ofChi-
cAgo, says that be counted lately at the depot Of
KilbouFn City, Columbia Co., ladjoining Saukl
one hundred aud sixty-twO barrels Of hop-fOols,
for nearly every state Ia the CuiOn, north aud
south. This, he says, is about the daily ship
ment during the root season. lie predicts that
lhe great glut In the market, provided no bligh,
or worn destroys the crop, will inevitably bring
the price down 10 much less profitable figure,
even lfit does not bring ruin 10 those who en-
gage in al all extensively To quote this CORES
