THE CULTIVATION OF HOPS.


Before large gathering of hop
growers and those interested in kin
dred lines in the district of Tenbury,
England, few weeks ago Prof. A. ID.
Hall. director of the Rothampstead ex-
perimental station at Kent, England,
gave a lecture on the growing and
treatment of hops. The professor con-
fined his remarks chiefly to the ma
nuring and drying of hops, basing his
statements on the result OF expert
ments conducted at his station dur
ing the past nine years.
Dealing with the question OF ma
nures, Prof. Hall pointed out that dill
ferent plants required different foods
to feed upon. The soil itself contained
an enormous amount of food tor
plants, probably enough to grow lOO
or $50 crops, without manure. Dill
ferent plants possessed their own Pc
culiar powers for getting this locked
IN material in the soil and assim1lat-
ing il to their use. In the case OF the
hon plant this was not so. 1t was a
plant which was a free feeder and GER
tainly the soils needed special treat
ment when they had to grow hops. II
thew began with farmyard manure,
there was a question of whether they
would give the ground a heavy dress
ing say of this, sufficient to last TOT
three wears; or apply a less quantity,
and manure every year The former
had a certain advantage as there was
a saving of labor in having only TO
spread every three years. He did not
advise trying to grow hops without
farmyard manure, as with the latter
the vine grew stronger, the SOIL was
aerated. and kept cooler and molster
in the summer.
Surprising the hop growers applied
fifteen or twenty tons of farmyard ma
nure per acre every three years, they
had to consider whether that was
enough. and to answer that question
thew must consider the nature OF the
manures and the requirements OF the
plants. Every plant took three things
from the soil = nitrogen, phosphorlc
acid, and potash. The nitrogen, ex-
listed in the farmyard manure, phos-
phoric acid in bones and basic Stag,
and potash in kainit, wood ash, etc.
Nitrogen made the plant grow and
forced the vine and leaf very much.
If applied to corn crop it increased

crop it increased the leaf, but there
was not much hop; there was long
growth, and delay in ripening. The
hop itself was soft, and did not weigh
heavily. Bearing in mind that farm
yard manure chiefly supplied the nitro
gen, and when applied freely it
brought about these results, the grow
ers had to correct this manuring by
attention to the other ingredients,
and what the hop plant could not get
from the soil, it had to be supplied in
an artificial way. Phosphoric acid
was concerned in all that concerned
the ripening of the plants, and when
applied to field of barley it made
a difference of ten days or fortnight
in the earlier ripening of the grain. 1t
had a good effect in the ripening of

the hop crop, particularly on colu, wet
soils. Potash produced sugar and
starch in such plants as mangolds,
potatoes, etc., and on dry, sandy soil
it did some good, but it was not so
necessary to the well-being of the hop
crop.
Another important point was the
time at which manure was applied.
Some put it on as late as June or July
and this renewed the growing proper
ties of the plant at a time when it
should be ripening. The growers
wanted the hop to stop growing at a
certain point and ripen. If they in
terfered with this process by late ma
nuring, they would be picking growing
hops when they should be ripe, or
picking ripe and green together. They
should manure early in the season and
avoid late manuring. Some had an idea
that such manureS as were put on the
hop crop, if applied early, were wash
ed out of the soil, but this was erron-
eous, as they were held in the soil.
Dealing with the quantities to be
applied and the cost, the professor
pointed out the Importance of obtain
ing an analysis of the soil before ma
nuring was commenced, as it depended
very much upon the quantity of lime
in the soil as to what artificial ma
nures they should use. Where no lime
existed an artificial like sulphate of
ammonia would be poisonous to soil
which had no lime in it. If they be-
gan in the winter by applying fifteen
to twenty tons of farmyard manure,
they could follow this in the spring
with cwt. of fish guano or cwt.
of rape dust. Supposing there was a
quantity of lime in the soil, they could
safely put on cwt. of fish guano and
4 cwt. of steamed bone flour; or, where
these were not desirable, 6 cwt. of ba-
sic Stag. There was prejudice against
the use of nitrate of soda but it should
not be applied later than April, and not
used in large quantities, say one or
two cwts.; or, where there was plenty
of lime in the soil, sulphate of am
mon might be used. In some seasons,
when the plant seemed to be shut, it
needed a little sustenance just as it
was coming into burr and a slight
dressing of farmyard manure would
be affective.
mere SIOW6IS ulu CuCll ldl lhlAS
without farmyard manure, nothing
was better than shoddy, but this
should be analysed, as that was the
only way of determining it's value. In
the spring they could apply 8 cwt. OF
fish guano or II cwt. of rape cake,
costing about Sos, or 1 cwt. of nitrate
of soda or sulphate of ammonia On
poor land this quantity should be re-
duced for it is only good land that
would answer to liberal manuring
1t was necessary to keep the plantation
healthy, and lime was useful for that
purpose Some soils responded very
readily to a dressing of lime, and it
brought into action great deal OF ma
nure which had accumulated in them

train D|TCHED
By Misplaced Switch-Many Pas
gers in Peril.

Hammond, Ind, October 1S.-The
Boston and New York express train
on the Nickel Plate railroad was
wrecked ut South Wanatah yesterday
morning. The engineer and fireman
were slightly hurt, but no passengers
were injured. The train is due in
Chicago at 7:40 a. M, and was an
hour late. and making up lost time.
The wreck was due to a misplaced
switch. The engine and combination
baggage coaches were deralled, and
had the train not slowed up for the
crossing the accident would have
been disastrous one.
The wrecking train was summoned
from Stony Island to clear the block
AIDE. and was the cause OF another
wreck at the Hammond railway sta
ton. in which passengers, who were
boarding Lake Shore suburban train
bound for Chicago. had narrow escape
from death. The suburban train
had Just pulled into the station, and
passenger were being taken on and
off. when under hurry orders, the
.'wrecker'' came around the curve
which hides the station. The engineer
shut off his air, but so great was his
rate Of speed that he was unable to
prevent a headon collision. The
passenger coach was lifted into the
air as high as the station roof, and
passengers piled in promiscuous
heap. several receiving minor injur-
les.
! Miss Mary Flynn. of Hammond,
was bruised about the head and body.
Women tainted on the station plat
form. Traffic was blocked on this
division for several hours, and all
