A Pine Knot squirrel HINT.

"a pine knot squirrel hunt Is about
the most exciting sport l know, I" said
A r. McIlvane. SIN the pine woods Of
the south there are great many SPUR
rels. and the ground is covered with
knots These are very hard, and their
shape renders them much easier than
stones to throw straight Frequently
parties OF expert throwers ara formed to
kill squirrels without guns, and it is re-
markable how successful they are.
When a squirrel is sighted, the man
who discovers him has the first throw,
and IL the squirrel is not hit il belongs
to whoever gets it. About oue-half Of
the throws bring the squirrels down.
and the party will often return with 100
of the animals As the trees are high
and the squirrels are generally ON the
branches. the difficulty of hitting them
is very great but the skill Of a great
many with these knots is remarkable -

that in their respective districts the hop

Hop growers have been somewhat ner-
vous over the effect of the rain OF the past
two days on the crop, but old and expert
enced growers from sections where rain
is the rule say that no harm will result
unless 1t turns of cold afterwards. Mr..
Peter Bellies claims that the rain will
prove beneficial in cleaning the hops of
the dust.

that their district will certainly win these

There is strong probability that the
east bound tariff on hops will be reduced
from tl.70 to $50 per ewt., in fact this
reduction is practically assured, although
not yet officially announced. The North

just as well as censured for unjust acts,
and this proposed cut certainly comes

Tts; Worcester and Hereford. 8 cw,s.

cws; worcester and Hereford, cwts. :
thus showing total of 417,000 cwts.,
and we believe this will be found not far
from the actual production, supposing
that the conditions during the picking
season continue to be as favorable a.
they are in the opening Of it. The an
nual consumption Of hops in England is
about Co., 900 cwts., and this shows o
probable deficiency OF over 1s0, 1000 cwts.
this season as against surplus Of SO, 900
cwts. last year.
As regards probable prices, we may
safely take as first basis OF calculation
the comparative quantities of 1894 and
1896. and on the assumption that tho
figures we have given are substantially
correct, and that we may accept 65 shil-
lings as fair quotation for sound hops
last year, we are brought to look for 9s
shillings to 100 shillings as the prob
able value for equal qualities this season.
But we know that the average quality Of
"a crop was below the ''choice" or even
good" standard. and We have reason to
believe that this years growth will oc-
cupy q much higher position. Taking
this factor into account we may safely
add something like 10 to Is per cent to
the estimated price given above, which
brings rs to the more remuuerative
figure of about shilling per pound, or
liz shillings per cwt. This appears
fairly satisfactory, but there is the
further consideration of probable foreign
supplies, and 90 far as we can gather
from various reliable informants, We may
assume that the continent will, as
whole. produce only twothirds OF last
years growth, New York state will, we
understand, be deficient by about % per
cent. and the Pacific coast by about is
per cent.
II these estimates prove to be correct,
the outlook for English growers is GER
tainly encouraging, and we should not
be surprised to find that our estimate Of
future value is too moderate and that
choice samples will secure much higher
prices than we have named. We trust
however, that all English growers will
bear in mind that II good price is to be
achieved the standard OF quality must be
maintained. Strict supervision during
picking is therefore necessary. We learn
thatrecently mould has been running free
ly in many plantations, and we hope
that diseased hops will rather be sacri-
feed than put into the cribs. Careful at
tention to the kiln management is also
essential. How many good growths are
spoiled in the curing process? This year,
when We are led to expect to find hops
everywhere richly endowed with lupulin,
additional care 10 needful that its pre-
cious but volatile quality should not be
driven away by excessive heat, or other
neglect in the kiln.
We sincerely trust that our anticipa-
tons will be realized In the actual ex-
periences of the market, but at same time
would remind our readers that no esti-
mate can be regarded as infallible

The old time weather greeting has been
abandoned in Yakima, at least for the
time being, and the salutation now is
made up OF m inquiry regarding hops.
Everyone is interested in this subject. es-
pecially rs TO the main feature of price,
but in this respect the information is the
most meagre, and what there is OF it is
certainly not OF an encouraging chsrsc-
ter. The crop Of the world is admittedly
far short of prolific 1894. Late reports
state that the English crop promises to
be bigger and better than was anticipated,
and in New York the decrease in yield
from last year is varionsly estimated at
from rs to 40 percent. On this coast re-
ports are conflicting, especially in respect
to the Oregon crop. vermin, low prices
and failure to obtain picking money may
change previous estimates considerably.
On the sound only those who have per-
sistently fought the hop louise are war
ranted in picking, and they are compare
lively few In number. Here 10 Yakima
many growers who had given up hope OF
picking, owing to financial limitations,
have been able at the last minute to OBJ
tain the required aid but are confronted
with the fact that there is shortage OF
pickers.
Secretary Ross says that there are not
over 5000 pickers now in the various
yards. and that he could place 1900 addi.
tional pickers within ten hours. II these
cannot be had before the 18th inst, &C.
cording to the calculations Of Mr.. Ross,
hops to the amount of 5000 bales, which
otherwise would be picked, will 90 to
waste on the vines. This shortage of
pickers is due In some extent to the
short-sighted policy OF the Northern Pa
cifc in not cutting below $3.50 round
trip rate from Puget Sound points, for
crews of rs or more pickers. Every bale
of hops picked means a revenue of about
~ to the railroad, and the loss of the
transportation OF the 5000 bales means a
gross loss of $4,000. Another factor to
which is attributed the shortage Of pick.
ers is the apathy of the Yakima Indians.
Many Indians have come in from other
reservations, but the Yakimss are
here only in small numbers. 1t
is believed that they are hold
ing off for dollar rate, but as the grow
ers cannot afford to pay this, the Yakima
Indians will find, when the winters
wind whistles around them and food and
clothing is somewhat short, that they
have made serious mistake.

is taken from the issue ef~1ugust 27th,

As the ingathering ia now in general
progress throughout the English hop
growing districts, we have arrived at a
period when fair estimate may be
made OF the probable production, both as
regards quantity and quality, and we
may also venture to form fairly reliable
opinion as to the values which may be
current when the market opens. The in
formation We have obtained from sources
that We consider may be depended upon,
enables rs to state with comparative GER
tainty that the total English yield OF 1895
will not exceed 10000 cwts. This figure
when contrasted with the estimated
yield OF 1894, which was put down at
something over 636. 900 cwts., shows that
the 1895 crop will only amount TO about
two thirds of last years production. A
large deficiency is distinctively expected
in the south, where export observers
consider that the yield will not exceed
one-third to one-half OF last years crop,
but the Midlands promise fairly well as
the following detailed estimates, pre-
pared by Messrs. lie May, will demon

The International yacht races for the
America cup gives indications of not
proving sporting success. The Defender
won the first race easily. In the second
race the valkyrie crossed the home line
AZ seconds, with time allowances, ahead
OF the Defender, but on account of col
lision, in which the blame rested on the
British yacht the judges awarded the
race to the Defender. In the third race
the American boat sailed over the course

alleged reason that the pilot boat had
crowded upon her line OF sailing. Par

THERE is no more meritorious meas

may be said against it that only one
district in the territory, Phoenix, will
Immediately profit by it. That cannot
be regarded as an adverse argument for
in the rapid settling up OF the country
other towns will be able to take ad-
vantage OF it. In fact they may do so
uron it's passage with profit. But to
Phoenix the passage of this bill is a
matter of the utmost importance and
we think that it will appear to legisla-
tors the needs of whose constituencies
in the same direction are not quite so
pressing that the excellent regulations
applicable to sparsely settled school
district are not applicable to town of
