would strongly urge upon growers un-
der no circumstances to pick their hops
too early-among other objections the
vines are by premature picking of the hops
greatly damaged And when they are
picked, do not let one picker stand all day
filling box, nor should they be left in
the sack. In either case, the hops often
heat, and are damaged.
l VIII give you the principal reasons
why hops should be treated as l say:
l. They should be spread on the kiln
soon after being picked, for the reason
| they will heat in the sack within three to
i've hours after being picked. The green
er hops, or the first picked, if the day is
warm will heat within three hours, or if
| diseased or moldy, they will heat sooner,
and after being heated in the sack never
can be brought back to the original flavor
| they would possess if dried as soon as
| picked or spread on the kiln, where they
will keep cool until cured or fire started
2. There should be fire started as soon
| as possible after they are on the kiln, and
keep good strong heat from four to six
hours, and then slow, gradual heat until
| they are seen to open on the top of the
| kiln. The result would be, if the fire was
allowed to go down after the heat has
| been up, say two hours, the hops would
be full OF steam, which would settle back,
| and the hops would be a leaden, dull col
or, and also affect the flavor.
3. There cannot be more than from
twelve to fifteen inches well cured on any
kiln at a time. The result is, you will
| heat or over-dry the bottom ones before
you dry the top ones, unless YOU should
take from fifteen to twenty hours to cure
| the kiln, and even then they would sour
| 4 There should be plenty of air below
the stoves. Here is where most of dryers
fail When the hops lay on the cloth
twelve to fifteen inches thick, it requires
| a strong current Of cold air to drive the
hot air through them; and the result is, if
/ you do not have it, the hops will have a
dull, wilted color, and also affect the
! flavor
5. A kiln of hops never should be
| turned. The result of turning them when
about one-half or two-thirds dried
through is this: The damp hops, which
are on the top, are, of course, fell of
steam, and heavier than when put on the
kiln, are either mixed with the dry ones,
or II turned with shovel are put directly
| under the dry ones-consequently the
steam having to pass through the dry
hops to escape, gives them bad, dull
color
t. L will add they should be spread on
the Kiln as evenly as possible, so they will
all dry about the same time; and as |
have mentioned, after these are seen to
open on the top of the kiln, then make a
slow fire and 60 through them with the
feet, and they will be dry enough, or three
fourths Of the stems will be cured down,
and the remaining one-fourth will cure in
the pile and be fully cured | will add
that they should lay from fifteen to twenty
days before being pressed But if it
should be necessary to press Immediately,
two slow fires should be made after mix
ing with feet, with care not to overhead
them, as the heat passes through the dry
hops rapidly.-Rurat Neao Yorker.
