Curing Hops.

An Improvement in the method of
curing hops has lately been introduced
in England by Mr.. J. NJ. Hopkins, a
hop grower near Worcester, which Is
said to be of great advantage to the
grower, especially in seasons like the
present, when prices are so high from
the light crop. The following is de-
scription of this process:
The hops being gathered, are brought
to the kiln to be cured. There are
three drying floors of rafters, covered
with horse hair, so that the heat and
air can pass from below through each of
them and out at the top, where an ex
haust fan IS kept in motion by steam
supplied from boiler in the basement
noor OF the kiln. The hops are first put
INTO the top floor, where they remain
oout tour hours, until the creek is
on them, when they are dropped
without hardling) to the second, and
nnally TO the lower floor, which is NOV
able, being, in fact, composed of two
large trays, which slide in and out of
the building. The temcerature of the
kiln never exceeds 80 degrees: the fan
gives the advantage of drying the hops
at lower temperature than by the com
mon process. Thus the aroma and VIOLA
tile oil which would be driven away at
higher temperature are saved. The
fan system has been tried with success
IN the drying of malt without deterior-
ating it's quality. Under the usual sys
tenn, the drying process in malt house
occupies three or four days; by the fan

Wood Ashes as Il Fertilizer.

Ashes, says the Rural New Yorker,
contain essential components of all
crops. They should not be mixed with
compost (there is no gain in so mixing
them, but applied broadcast directly
over the soil, whether it is grass or ara
bic land. We never knew farmer who
could get more ashes than it was profta-
BILE to apply TO his land; 100 bushels
per acre is net too much to apply to old
cultivated lands. Especially are ashes
excellent for orchards. They should
not be heaped right about the
bodies of the trees. but spread over
the roots, which extend as far from
the bodies of the trees as the branches
do. Ashes are especially valuable as
top dressing oR old grass lands, or on
lands cropped with grain. For root
crops they are equally important; in
deed, as we say above. there is no crop
grown and no land cultivated that is not
benefited IN greater or less degree by
the application Of leached or unleached
ashes, the latter being the more valua-
BILE.

Know whether 1t is diamond, amber or
gold that gllstens SO. One of the most
elegant necklaces that are on exhibition
this season is composed of q string of
large faceted beads, with a cross of the
same attached. Another has alternate
INKS or flat pierced gold and the
faceted beads. This faceted work has
almost entirely taken the place of the
perforated or pierced gold of last
season, though IN brooches and ear
rings both styles are used together.
The most stylish bracelets are plain
gold bands, with row Of faceted work
across the top. The shape of the orpa-
ments, brooches, earrings and pendants
approaches more than ever the antique,
ana much OF it seems modelled on the
Egyptian ornaments. There IS abso-
lutely nothing III the light filagree
WORK; everything is solid and substan-
tlal. and suggests endurance.
During the summer there seemed to
De prospect OF necklaces going out of
1ashlon and becoming one of the things
that were, but all their popularity is re-
Vlved this winter, and they are represent
ed Id the newest and most UNDUE de-
signs. The heavy cable-like chains
and the solid links of years past are still
worn and divide popularity with the
broad flat links, either plain, engraved
or perforated. The newest thing of
course are the faccted beads, bat they
are, after all, within the reach of com
paratlvely few persons. Pendents are
still In the form of crosses, or of square
or oblong lockets; the plain, round
lochet is still very much worn, but it is
altogether much older style.
All this is apropos of the season and
hint to those who are going to make
somebody very happy by something
or other IN the line of ornament this
merry Christmas time. "-Boston Adver-

Small Fruits On the Farm,

TO advise farmer to grow small
fruits for market, and at the same time
carry on his farming operations, is
something we will not do. But there
are hundreds and thousands of farmers
who have natural taste for fruit grow
ing, and to whom farming has become a
drudgery, Especially that class who
are not strong, to whom change is
desirable and necessary. To these we
would say, if you are living within three
or four mile of good home market,
and cities not far away by rail Or steam
boat, change to fruit growing will be
both profitable and pleasant. The first

Only shower OF silveyv notes. that dropped
In tretnulous outpouring and then stopped:
While from q window nigh
[ saw the little singer fitting by,
AS scorning 10 retreat.
Although the sullea winds, that moarei and

Had frozen the tears of April az they fell to
sleet
With steadfast claim,
1hss messenger of gladness came
10 welcome in with JOY the tardy spring;
And. from the winters cold farewell, to bring
One measure of delight:
Fortelling miracles of sound and sight;
Of south winds blowing strong
When the white apple blossoms drift along,
And for this one faint lay, the whole world
stepped III song.
Oh! Robin, you
In your belief. are strong and true:
BY storms undaunted, with your notes of
cheer,
You sing and we grow blither as we hear;
Till echoing ye or content,
With larger faith. We hts our heads low bent,
And by past sorrows know
What may have seemed LIES desolating snow,
Only prepares the soul for summer flowers to
grow.

Australia continues to furnish a little
gold, but its yield is declining from year

yielded was 13l7, ,102; in 1873, 1,249, ,4O7,
and in 1874, /, ,102 GA. 1t will be seen that
the amount has diminished with each

this, not that the gold deposit is lessen

conducted, it does not pay fair interest
