produces 100000 bales, and the balance

1t is also stated that the demand for
american hops is increasing, Of which
Ihe English growers are quite jealous.
me cost OF transporting hops from the

per 100 pounds. Messrs Thomas &
snort further state that English buy

following points to growers attention.
l. Hops should be as large and full.
oudded as possible and whole. They
are often unnecessarily broken up in
curing and baling which materially
reduces their value 9. A soft, glossy

Capt. Humphreys Remarks.

Capt Humphrey, of Pendleton, ia

ing; u was accosted few minutes
ago BY fine-looking and robust young
man who asked me for so cents I
laid my hand on the young mans
shoulder and asked him what he
wanted with so much free silver in
these days of financial depression and
overproductlon. He replied that he
wanted to get something to eat; that
he mad been looking for work, but
coolo not get more than $l.5O per day
for driving header, and that he did
not propose to work and for any
such starvation wages" "Well, son. ,
replied, continued the captain,
don't you know way back in '57, '5s
ana 'o9, young men like you swung a
heaVy cradle the whole blessed day for
on cents, and We're quite well satisfied
and in those days farmers received so
cents bushel for their wheat. In
other words a man earned in those
days the price of one hushel of wheat
fer his days labor, whereas now the
Farmer receives scant 30 cents for his
wheat and you are unwilling to work
for 81 80 per day, or five bushels Of
wheat Why, bless me, If times were
as good in those day as now, tue peo.
pie would have considered this Gods
own country. To be able to earn five
bushels of wheat in one day and meat
and groceries in proportion, q man to-
day at ruling prices for labor can earn
enough IN two months to supply him
