The Farmer's Col CtJLTIVATlOlT OP HOPS.-' lug demand for hops both iu our own and foreign markets has made this one of the most profitable crops which can be cultivated. The balk of production of this counrty is grown in New York and Wisconsin, althonghlarge sections of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont are adapted to the culture of hops, and the qualify of those produced in New York. Hops can be raised on any good com land, but as the plants are very liable to injury from blight and mildew, as well as subject to attack from various insects, great care is needed in selecting a suitable situation for a yard. A location should bo chosen on high ground where water will not stand at any season of the year, and . where there will be no obstruction to the rays of the sun. The ground should be thoroughly ploughed and highly manured, and if the soil is deficient in lime, that article must be applied at the rate of one quart to eaeh hill. The rows should be eight t , feet apart, and four sets are usually planted in a hill. If the ground is mellow and a little care used in placing the sets, but few hills will need replant tiug. As a rule no crop is gathered the first year, and potatoes or turnips . should be planted between the rows to insure a thorough cultivation. Fre quent stiring of the ground and perfect freedom from weeds are essential to secure large crops. Poles should be set in the spring of the second; they should be from fifteen to twenty feet long and placed two at each hill and about fifteen inches apart As the value of the hop largely depends on the curing, this should never be attempted by a begin ner but the arrangement of a kiln, and the whole process of curing should be learned from a person experienced in the business. The hop is so liable to suffer from changes of weather amr attacks of insects that a full crop is seldom raised, but where the yard is favorably situated, and the vines thor oughly cultivated and properly manur ed, from 1000 to 1500 pounds to an ucre can be calculated upon, and in masons particularly favorable 2000 to 2300 pounds to the acre have been raited. The part two yean the price of hops in this market has ranged from 55 to OB cents for fancy and 40 to 52 cts for strictlv prime. And the chances are that prices will rule high for years to come. Boston Spectator, Mulching Grape Vines My ob servation and experience have led me to the conclusion that we do not suffi cieatiy mulch our grape soil. Moisture (iu Hie ground) is the great lack of the grape as, of moat berries and small fruit. The grape vine in the summer is a secculent thing, and needs much water. Mulching thoroughly and keep ing the soil mellow is a necessity to good success. The best mulch, per haps, is a covering of garden refuse grass and weeds that are removed.- They not only keep the ground moist but fertilize it, and with that kind of manure which is the most appropriate and natural to the grape, improving its quality, its growth also, and health fulness. Our best success has been with this kind of mulch and leaves gathered in autumn and kept (rotted) till the following season. N. . Even ing Pout. Moles. These little subterranean prowlers sometimes distirb growing plants, by burrowing in garden beds and under corn hills, but they are never guilty of foraging upon the farmer or the gardener. Their diet consist wholly of earth worms, grubs, and other ground insects; hence they are the friends of man, and should be treated kindly Farm. We give the above far what it is worth ; yet it would be very hard to make the farmers of the sandy sections of our State believe it. The American Farmer, Baltimore, gives the following good advice: "Special thought should be given to apportioning the crop to be culivated to the labor you may be able to com mand. The ambitious young fanner is apt to over crop himself, and it is a matter requring much judgment to de termine wisely. He should avoid over cropping, because all will be badly dune iu that ease. On the contrary, if he would make the most of his means, lie should task himself well, and work up to his task. A well cultivated garden is the most profitable part of a farmers domains. Texas is planting castor beans. Poor horses, poor cows a poor far mer and a poor man. A large manure heap is the surest way to secure a full granary. The present estimate of the number of cattle in Texas is five million head. The total receipt of live and dress ed hogs at Chicago since October last were 1,200,000. Tansy or wormwood planted about the roots of peach trees, will protect them from destruction by worms. Onions planted in the same hill with vines, will protect them from the dep redations of the striped bug. Try it in your gardens this spring. It is said that a strong decoction of alum and water, applied two or three times a day, to warts on cows, will effectually cure them. A wise farmer will spread neither his labor or manue over more ground than will enable him to attain a max imum result. A Kansas sheep broader says his experience goes to establish the facts that the finest wooled sheep are the hardiest will stand more starvation and endure more exposure than any other breed. The Canadian Farmer once said that a horse has a very sweet tooth. When he is unwell and won't drink, mix mo lasses or coarse brown sugar with the water, and he will then drink freely. Bnffon says a well fed hen will pro duce upwards of 150 eggs in a year, besides two broods of chickens. Ac cording to experiments in England, several years since, a well ted hen will produce 170 to 175 eggs in a year. The American Stock Journal says, that for scours in calves, pigs and sheep, take a quantity of good oats, boil them one hour, and give freely of the tea till a cure is effected. From many trials we are satisfied that the remedy is safe and certain. The farmers in Woodford county, Kentucky, have organized means for the substitution of white for negro laborers, and the former, mostly Ger mans, are arriving in the county from the East at the rate of twenty-five or thirty a week. In Georgia, it is announced, that while a majority of the planters of the Southern and Western portion of that State have become bankrupt in their attempt to raise cotton, almost every farmer in Northern Georgia has made money by raising wheat and corn. A correspondent of the Western En ral says that crib-biting in horses is no "vicious habit," as generally believed, but simply an instinctive effort to re lieve pain caused by the teeth of the animal being crowded together,and the proper remedy is to run a very thin file between the teeth which press togeth er. The American Stock Journal says, to cure scratches in horses, take white pine pitch, rosin, beeswax and honey, one ounce each, fresh lard one-half pound, melt well together over a slow fire, stir till quite thick, so that the parts may not settle and seperate. This also makes an excellent applica tion for harness galls, cuts and sores of all kinds, on horses and cattle. Wit and Wisdom. SUPPORT FOB THE PRESIDENT. The Conservative Army and Navy Union of Washington held a meeting on Thurs day night and passed the following res olution : Besotted, That if the worst must come to the worst ; that if Congress precipitates war upon the country by its continued encroachments upon the prerogatives of the executive and ju dicial branches of the Government, and aggressions upon the people we hereby pledge "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors" to uphold the Chief Magistrate of the nation in de fence of constitutional liberty. Cols. Campbell's, Vance's and Avery's regiments exhibited great gallantry and courage. At an early stage Col. Vance was surrounded by the enemy. At this juncture, we are told, his'voiee was heard above the roar, " Stand firm, my men I am with yon for vic tory or death." W.

The weather wus severely cold ; snow had fallen; and the roads were in wretched condition. There could not possibly be more campaigning before the opening of Spring; and all had gone into winter quarters. Maj. Cole bad his quarters snugly fixed for com fort and laid himself down before his hickory tires to read and to ruminate, He had procured the life of Thomas Jbffebsos in three large volumes and the celebrated politico -philosophical works ofCALHOtTN with which he ex pet ted to busy himself until the next campaign began. Once more he wag a close and diligent student. These great works were very manna for his hungry : . ..n it., tuna ilailv uml niolillx following the thoughts and acts of those two pre-eminently distinguished minds, ,...lltiiin- nmn tlwui and StrikiUiT OUt t 111 'I'l. gif Jvy . - new idea suggested by them. He was in the midst of a great revolution, such as they never saw or dreamed ; blood, the blood of his countrymen, had flown in rivers ; and the enquiry uppermost in his mind was where, when and how will it terminate! He was examining carefully aud practically tlie policy and the reasoning of the illustrious South Carolina statesman. He wished to see for himself whether they were sound and safe, and whether the Davis Ad miiustratiou at Kichmond was gover ned ami controlled by them in estab lishing the new system of government, which they were fighting to uphold. Truly, he wits delving in a mine of ..1. .1 . 1 ...... s..wl arilnlill f hilllrl II O nt u, iiuu uwi, um oi.v...a." ,......(, and reasoning; but it is not known whether Maj.

Christmas was approaching with its festivities, and,' though others were preparing lor a full measure of enjoy ment and hilarity, he was so absorbed with his books, that he little eared to indulge in the levities and high boutid- i ..ulii.iiultoil 1V- tlll'lll. Oil Ul MCil."HH-.-l oil i v.i. w ' the eve before that " mcrfy'," the camp rang with the wildestiieiTiinent, and the brave boys, who were break ing as best they could the tedium and irksomeness of camp life in mid-winter, had gathered around the quarters of Lieut Col. Gray and bad called for a speech from him. He came forward promptly and was entertaining them with that sparkling wit and brilliant eloquence with which he was so emi nently gifted, a real, stirring, merry, heartsome, Christmas talk. Cole, who was in the , Adjutant's tent opposite Gray'S headquarters, supposing they would call him out next, dropped down on his all-fours, slipped out under the back folds of the tent, and, in slang phrase, skedaddled. He made no pre tensions to public speaking, and he did not desire to follow the graceful talking Cray. So soon as -the latter had concluded, they turned to the Ad jutant's tent and sung out for Cole; but much and loud calling could not bring him forth, nor could they find him " high or low." They were disap pointed, that he had given them tne slip, still they said nothing; but, on New Year's Eve, they resolved to sur round his tent and surprise him. That evening came ; they did so, and called lustily for him. He was fairly "treed," and, like Capt. Martin Scott's coon, he at once " came down "surrender ed. He presented himself at the tent door ; told them they need not wonder that he ran on Christmas Eve ; that the most valiant veteran troops- had not been able to stand before the Twenty Second, and it was a matter of no sur prise that one should flee at their com ing, their onset He, then, spoke of the glorious career which they as sol diers had run ; of the dangers, perils and hardships they had encountered and endured ; and hoped, that the New Year, on which they were about to en ter, would be as splendidly illustrated byipatience, endurance, raldr and de votion. He, then, tipped his hat to his brave men and withdrew amid plau dits and hurras. While intently engaged in his histo rical and political readings, he was in terrupted by an order from Gen. Lee, that he shoulu return nome ro euiisi men for his own and other regiments in the service. He, at once, proceeded homeward. He regretted to quit his studies ; but it was exceedingly pleas ant to him once more to visit Greens borough and to mingle with his rela tions, friends and associates here. He left his regiment, winch was some eigni miles below Fredericksburg on the Rappahannock, on the 19th of January, ,.., IC,..,- AYt,ia rlLino- T1,- IO'J.1. illUM VII USB mi"., vnimifc v ruary and March, was occupied in en listing men, liable to conscription, for Lee's army. He followed the Enrol ling Officer into several of the counties of the 6th Congressional District of the State, and forwarded a large number of. men to different 'regiments in Vir ginia. Ther writer had hot a few inter views with him and heard him con verse freely and fully on the state of the country. He had enlarged views on the many hard problems of the war; yet in his opinion to the clearest human sagacity and ingenuity the solution ot some of them was darkness, increasing and impenetrable darkness. Heaven alone could solve them, and man could understand them only when solved. Ho was heartily tired of the destruc tion of life, the waste of property and the desolation of the fairest parts of the South, and extremely anxious that the war should close. He entered the field at the very beginning of the strug gle ; he had seen all its crudest phases; and none knew better than he, that sorrow was in almost every heart and mourning in almost every household in the land. It is an historic fact, that the demand for the usual habiliments of mourning was such, that neither blaek iroods, nor crapes, could be pro- cuffitt except, now, and then, a small supply was mn through the blockade. He expressed his dread of the coming campaign. He thought it would prove the hardest-contested and most fatal thro' which we would have to pass. He felt confident our soldiery would fight heroically and stubbornly ; stilHte was not over-sanguine of our final success. The writer entertained the opinion, that the best as to Ms most ft our only hope of success, if we had any at all, was in negotiation repeated af ter each successful engagement ; that the ablest, purest and most distinguish ed Southerners, not time-serving and slavish politicausandpartizans, should be appointed commissioners to com promise and adjust our differences on terms" which could have been The Major, though not settled convictions of what would be ilitic, considered, that he had i . ... a i . ) ign uuty to uiscuarge ior nis sectioaml was resigned to ljptitfa natioiliJ controversy tothearbitrariient of the iwOrd and the ultimate decree of the God of nations. His brother JamES and himself visit ed his Bister, Mrs. Mathews, at her home in Forsythe, and spent as much time as his duties would permit just before his return to the Army. She was his only swter aud was tenderly and ardently loved by him. The trio was, then, unbroken ; aud, though the chances in war are so many against life, yet he had escaped so marvellous ly, never being wounded or a prisoner, that each hoped he might pass that fiery ordeal to the close of the-war un scathed, unhurt and uncaptured. Sus tained by the christian philosophy, that " all things work together for1 good to them that love God," much of the sad ness, which stirred each heart at part ing, was dissipated and exhaled to Heaven in hope. Hope 1 what a beau tiful eharmer is Hope ! It lureth mor tals into flowery ways ; bodietti lortn lovely Utopias; peopleth them with creatures almost as fair as angels; buildeth castles high in the air ; from the low lands of despondency it leadeth to the bills of expectancy ; from tho high-raging seas of danger it pointeth to the quiet havens of safety ; from the deeps of sorrow and despair it eharmeth up to the mounts of"tor aiM rest where is its twin-spirit Faith all beau tiful and resplendent with the unspeak able glories of the brighter and better land ! Truly, Hope is a charmer, that eharmeth ever wisely ! Before he was quite ready to set out for the Rappahannock, he learned, with pain aud sadness of the demise of Lieut. Col. Gray. The Colonel had sickened and died since he was detailed home on duty. Well might he be sorrowful! He had lost a genial companion ; his resrinient a eood and brave commau- der ; his country, a gifted and nobfe patriot and an intrepid and chivalrous defender! With Thomas Gray, he was solemnly reminded, that " The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gavo, Await alike the invitablo hour ; The paths of glory lead bnt to the grare." .A til.' rt.V-TIVITIi'Tl l Heat from the STARS.-It is a start ling fact that if the earth were depend ent alone upon the sun for heat, it would not get heat enough to keep existence in animal and vegetable life upon its surface. It results from the researches of Pouillet that the stars furnish heat enough in the course of a year to melt a crust of ice seventy -live feet thick almost as much as is supplied by the sun. This may appear strange w hen si.W hnw intmeasurablv small must be the amount ot heat from any one of those distant bodies. But the surprise vanishes, when we remember that the whole firmament is so thickly sown with, stars that iu some places thousands are crowded together within a space no greater than that occupied by the full moon. The eye cannot see more than a thousand at the same time iu the dearest heaven, yet the number is probably infinite. From the first to the sixth magnitude inclusive, the to tal number of visible stars is 3,128. Newspaper Spongers.
