Peace in Two Homes.
IIonkers s.atesman.l

He was young man who had been married
few years. In answer to a question about
pin money he said: 81 get my wages every
Saturday night. / carry the money h,me and
give every cent of it to my wife. If 1 want
any / ask her for it.
She buys what we want, and she puts in
the bank what we can spare. 1t is as much
her interest as it is mine to save all we can II
she is fit TO be my wife and bring up the chill
dren she is lit to be trusted with the money,
aud / never ask her what she does with it,"
Another man, who receives monthly wages,
said:
When / am paid hand over to my wife as
much money as she earned before VIC were
married, and that was 81 week"
There is peace in both these homes. There
is no need Of comment.

OUR RURAL TOPICS,
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
HOP CULTURE.

1t seems the United States will never raise
sufficient hops of a suitable quality to supply
the rapidly demand. Tho hop crop
is profitable one usually.
The soil necessary for profitable hop crop Is
a rich, frable clay, and hearty loan vegetable
molds make the best. If these arc ample.
profitable crops can be raised on land consid-
cred worn out and useless for corn and wheat,
but wet sub-soil is fatal to the health of the
vines, but when well undcr-drained, these
soils produce fair yields.
The plants are set out in rows from six to eight
feet apart, and about the samo distance from
bill to hill in the row. Rooted plants. but
more frequently cuttings from old plants, are
used for new stand. Some prefer one and as
many the other method. Five or six plants
are required for each hill. In England from
three to six, and even eight plants, are put in
each hill, though three good, vigorous plants
are plenty, and do better than more.
Probably there is no crop raised that is more
variable in harvesting than the hop. The
yield per acre ranges according to the season (;
on rich bottom lands one ton per acre is not
considered phenomenal, though on tho average
from 700 to 1000 pounds is considered a fair
crop, and taking the prices year and
another, 500 pounds per acre is paying crop.
The plants bloom in July and are ready for
harvest by the LIST of September, except in
backward seasons, which throws the harvest
later. though late harvests usually accompany
Improbable crops. 1t Is very important,
writes Agricola in Farm, Field aud StochHlaH,
that The crop be gathered promptly, as hops
soon deteriorate If allowed to remain on the
vines after they are ripe. As soon as gathered
they are kiln dried, perhaps bleached with
birthstone, then placed from 10 to12 days, some
times two weeks, 10 cool, and finally baled
ready for market.
A hop plantation will last, retaining its full
vigor, for 10 years, but after this it seems to
have exhausted the soil, and will decline,
though very gradually, for about 10 years
more, when the vines are useless, and the
ground should be broken up and used for some
other crop. Fifteen years may be taken as the
average life Of q profitable hop plantation.
The hop is great exhauster Of the soil.
withdrawing much and returning very little
to it. From ths time they sprout in the Spring
until the hops are dried in the kiln, they are
liable to disaster from insects and disease. No
where has more experience been had with
their cultivation than in England. They are
exposed to more diseases than any other plant
with which farmers have to deal.

MODERN RASPBERRY CULTURE.

Within few years notable change has
been introduced in the general management of
the raspberry. William Saunders, in the en-
ploy of the Department of Agriculture, says:
"The only pruning formerly given this
plant was confined to cutting out the old stems
which had fruited, thinning out the young
stems which were to produce the next crop,
and shortening them by cutting off portion
of their tops. These were then fastened to a
stake, or some similar support, and this COM
pleted the pruning for the season.
"The more modern system obviates the
necessity of any kind of support, and the
plants are managed SO that they are able to
support themselves when full of fruit. This
is accomplished by allowing the first years
growth of newly set-out plants to grow undis-
turbed; the second year two or more shoots
will be produced, and when these have reached
a hight of about two feet, their tops are
pinched off, so as to top their upright growth;
they will then proceed to push out side shoots
or laterals on all sides. balancing and support
ing themselves very efectually, and appearing
like small, evenly headed trees
When growth has been completed for the
shoots are pruned back, so as to leave them
from IL to 16 inches in length, according to
their strength. This pruning can be done
quite rapidly with pruning shears At the
same time, if not before. all the old stems or
canes which have fruited are also removed :;
but many cultivators prefer to remove these
old stems Immediately after the fruit has been
gathered, claiming that by SO doing the young
canes have greater freedom of growth; also,
that by promptly removing the old canes many
kinds of insects which lodge in the old wood,
and have cocoons and nests upon it, are thus
destroyed by burning all tho prunings as soon
as collected.
"This system is continued annually; no
greater number of young shoots than is re-
quired are allowed to grow, all others being de-
siroyed as they reach few inches in hight.
1.-THE Summer topping is attended to as pre-
viously stated, and the result of this routine
treatment is selfsupporting strong plants and
improved fruit"

DOUBLE CROPPING.

Manurng the garden sufficiently to make
good crops is very expensive, and it is impor-
tant that the ground be used to the best adj
vantage to make it return the most profit and
in the shortest time. Now, in order to do this
we should arrange to grow two crops on the
same ground, one right after the other.
In planting my early peas / had the rows 20
rods long. Besides liberal dressing OF tobacco
stems the Fall before had wagon-lo load of we'll
rotted manure put in each furrow. and the peas
planted on this and covered with two inches of
soil. The peas were well cultivated, deep and
thorough. They grew very fast and made
fine crop. The crop was off by the Goth of
June, and the ground well broke again, for in
picking of the peas had tramped the ground
down pretty hard, and it was neees-
sary to break it again to get it in the order
l wanted it. When the ground was ready /
planted it in late Peachblow potatoes IN
fortunately, dry weather set in and continued
six weeks, and they did not come up very
soon but after they did come up they were
worked out twice. Other business calling our
attention for several days, when we did go to
see about them the potato-bug had eaten
every leaf of, and left nothing but the bare
stems. The bugs seeing starvation would be
their doom if they staid there, finally left.
After the bugs left and good, soaking
rain or so came, the vines began to put out
leaves afresh, and dug good crop of really
fine potatoes.

DELAY IN SETTING MILK.

A correspondent inquiries if there is any loss
of butter fat in the delay Of setting milk.
There seems to be different opinion among
dairymen on this subject Some contend that
there is loss, while Others entertain different
idea. The Wisconsin Experiment Station found
that in a delay of from two to three minutes
the loss of butter fat varied from four to nine
per cent. This experiment seemed to back
up the assertion of those who claimed that
there was loss. Immediately after the Wis
consin Station experiment, Cornell Experiment
Station began to examine the matter.
At the Cefuell Experiment Station repeated
trials showed very little loss even after the
