The entire hop crop Of the United States is es-
timated at l25,0,0 bales, much less than enough
for home consumption. Over 5000 bales have
already been exported this year, and II is
argued that American consumers or sell
ers must be buyers in England or Ger
many, perhaps before Chistmas. The amount
of hops raised in the New York region this
year is 10000 bales, or more than l6,OO0 90
pounds This is about one-thiTd smaller than
The crop of last year, The growers have re-
ceiyed upon an average about 90 cents per
pound for the crop. or over s9,7O0,0O0 The
nrofits on hons are greater than on any other
farm product 1t costs olly from 10 to Is cents

The honey is, as rule, very sweet ana IRA
grant, bat 1t is sometimes injurious TO human
beings. pere may mention that no bee can
suck honey out of flowers as is popularity sup
posed She licks il out with her tongue, the end
of which is covered with hairs so as to convert
into a brush, scrapes II between the Jaws, ana
so passes into the crop, where II Is changed into
honey. What property may be in thu crop
which converts flower juice into honey we do
not at present know. TO all Appearance, the
crop Is nothing but a bag of exceedingly hne
membrane and yet after remaining for little
time In the crop. the flower juice undergoes a
change In consstence, flavor and scent ana,
whether the insect be wild or domestic bee,
the change is Identical throughout,
