VALUE OLE HOP STEMS.

The Bre,rers' Guardian states that NJ.
Jourdeit, of France, has recently patented
a process for obtaining nom these stems
a material suitable for the manufacture OF
cordage. The stems and runners are col
lected twenty.four hours after the hops
have been picked, tied together in bun
dies about 1--WE feet in length by half a
ward in diameter. and stepped in water in
the same manner as hemp. Here they
are allowed to remain from three to -four
weeks, after which they are taken out,
placed on end to drain for a while, dried
tweuty-four hours in the sun, and then
stored in dry, well ventilated sheds. The
separation Of the fbers from the woody
portions of the stepped stems is readily
efFec ed by passing these between two
cylir drcal rollers, though the process is
not quite so easy as in he case of hemp
or fax, owing 10 their tougher structure.
The 6bers, as thus obtained, are of q
light brown color, and from II TO Is
inches long They are then carded in the
same manner as fax, and in this state
afford a very valuable material for the
manufacture of cordage and similar rough
products.
Another patent has teen taken out in
Germany, according to the Gardener
Chronicle, which differs from the above.
In the German process the hop stems
are boiled in soap, soda, and water, well
washed, and reboiled in very dilute acetic
acid, again washed, dried, and combed,
when they are fit for use, and can be
washed like fax.

About tarring seed corn to keep the
crows from pulling it up, have tried a
number of times and my experience is
that the crows viii not touch it If II is
well tarred. take boiling hot water and
put one spoonful of tar to one quart OF
corn. Put the tar into the water and stir
it up and then put in the corn and stir it
well, then drain off the water and put on
plaster to dry it. In lS4S ! planted a
piece of corn half mile away where
there was woods close 10 it, and the crows
would come on to it and 60 all over 1t,
but l did not see one spear pulled up. /
think it an easy way to keep crows of.

DOMEsTICATED PARTRIDGEs.-A friend
in Chester County, Pa, in moving his
grass with machine last year, moved
over partridge's nest with eighteen eggs,
The mother bird, as was well known,
would abandon them, so they were placed
under sitting hen at the barn. She
was faithful TO her trust, and produced
seventeen young cartridges wild as deer.
Most Of them were unfortunate, being
tramped on by the mother, and meeting
with other accidents; two hen birds,
however, survived and became completely
tame, roosting and feeding with the
chickens about the barn. One of them
this spring left her chicken companions
and found q mate, with whom she re-
turned, and is now LAYING in hens nest
at the barn. The male bird is a little
shy. but appearances indicate that he will
become domesticated.-Leter to Phila-

POTATO BUGS.
We learn from a gentleman in M

We learn nom gentleman in New Port
land II. ID. b. that large nunbey of
notato bugs were seen ON Lexington pond
one dav recently, over one mile from the
shore. A good place for them.-Farming-
ton Chronicle. :"Ld2S--
ado not be too sure of that, Mr.. Chron-
icle, for it takes more than cold water
bath to extinguish potato bug, as the
following will show: While on visit to
Long Island, n Y. during the months
of May and June, '7s, | was greatly
astonished to see upon the shore Of the
sound piles and windows Of potato bugs,
left there BY the receding tide. Upon
making some inquiry regarding them, l
learned that on the Connecticut shore
they we've seen TO enter the water as fear
lessly as ducks, and instead of swimming
they simply curled up and dr!fled to more
fruitful fields. After crossing the sound
in this manner and landing upon the
beautiful sand beach of Long Island, they
would rest in the sun for about three days
and then take up their line Of march for
the nearest potato field. This seems al
most incredible, but as my information
was received from a practical farmer
who was himself great sufferer from
these troublesome pests-there can be no
doubt regarding the truth Of the state
ment. To my inquiry why the farmers
did not turn out in a body and burn these
pests, he replied that as each receding tide
left fresh army upon the shores, il was
useless to attempt to fght them. Ny
own observations soon confirmed this. as
once, for the sake of experimenting,
took I'D one handful from the shore (my
first and last handful, BY the way and
counted 81 dry, inanimate, and appar-
emily hfeless potato bugs. have not the
least doubt that this identical 81 demol-
ished innumerable potato tops before the
season ended. +, VI, ). VI.

Although the "tulip mania" in Hol-
land is thing Of the remote past, the
cultivation and export of the bulbs of
these flowers, hyacinths. etc., form large
item in the trade of that country at the
present time. The export of flower bulbs
during the l6 years ending in 1876
amounted in value to an average Of over
100000. The value of the export is
annually rising also, so that the export
for 1876 amounted to nearly s695,000.
According to the latest survey the land
devoted to raising flower bulbs amounts
10 600 acres.

A Crisfeld md. paper tells story
of the singular Transformation Of duck.
The fowl had been laying regularly for sew
eral seasons, but this spring she shed hel
duck feathers and came out in a regular suit
of drake feathers. The curled tail, green
neck, head and back, gave it al the
appearance of drake, while in size il
retains the appearance of duck. The
owner Is not positive whether it lays eggs
or not.
