epilepsy,  apoplexy,  paraiyaia  or  some  other 
frightful  disease  ia  hovering  over  us  as  buzzards

..‘I-  C. — Will  you  answer  the  following  rpiostious 
in  your  valuable  paper  : 
(1)  Are  refuse  hops  good  manure  for  the  veg¬ 
etable  garden  or  for  ilowers,  cither  in  pots  or 
beds,  and  if  so,  how  does  it  compare  in  strength 
with  stable  or  cow  inaiuu'o?  and  should  it  bo 
thoroughly  rotted  before  using 
(2)  I  have  been  experimenting  to-day  a  little 
with  hops  in  striking  cuttings.  I  took  small 
boxes,  say  inc)ie.s  deep  and  .5  inches  wide, 
and  put  about  i^n  itich  ileop  of  hops  in  the  bot¬ 
tom,  then  filled  up  the  boxes  with  good  sand, 
and  placed  the  cuttings  about  an  inch  or  inch 
and  a  half  deep  in  the  sand  and  sot  them  in  the 
sun.  What  do  you  think  of  the  plan  ? 
(3)  Is  malt  good  for  manure  ?  and  shoubl  it  bo 
rotted  before  using  ?  T  live  near  two  broworios, 
and  can  get  all  the  hoi)3  I  want  and  some  malt 
for  carting  it  away.  My  land  is  rather  a  loamy 
clay,  with  a  stiff  clay  snlwoil,  and  inclined  to  dry 
out  towards  the  hitter  part  of  summer.  Last 
fall  I  put  four  good  two-horso  wagon-loads  of 
manure  on  alxiut  onc-third  of  an  aero,  after  the 
lirat  plowing,  and  plowed  it  three  times  after  and 
planted  in  corn.  The  most  of  tho  manure  did 
not  rot ;  but  had  about  an  average  crop — very 
little  if  any  better  than  the  y<!ar  before.  Would 
it  help  it  any  to  put  lime  on  it  this  fall ;  if  so, 
how  much  to  the  a<'ro  ? 
(4)  What  makes  my  chioUcus  cat  their  feathers  ? 
They  will  pluck  the  fcatbors  from  each  other  and 
oat  them  greedily.  I  keep  thoui  in  a  pen  or  lot, 
3'2  X  100  feet,  and  they  have  plenty  of  gravel  and 
mortar,  or  plaster,  broken  up,  and  plenty  of  good, 
fresh,  pure  water  to  run  to  all  tho  (  imo.  Their 
feed  is  corn  in  tlio  morning  and  boiled  potatoes 
at  noon.  They  are  turned  out  every  other  day 
to  sun  in  a  Held  of  two  acres,  and  are  in  good 
order.  Tiioy  are  of  tiie  brown  Leghorn,  mixed 
with  Tolands.  There  are  about  forty  of  them, 
old  and  young. 
A.vs. — Hops  are  considered  valuable  as  a  fer¬ 
tilizer  ;  but  when  used  fresh  from  Ibo  brewery, 
they  ferment  quickly,  generating  almost  as  much 
heat  as  fresh  horse  m.aniiro.  ’11)0  gardener.s 
about  Now  York  use  Jiops  for  their  hot-bods,  also 
for  banking  tbem  up  on  tho  mit.side  in  cold 
weather,  miiKdiing  for  small  tender  plants,  and 
for  composting  with  other  less  healing  kinds  of 
fertilizers.  Jliit  before  bops  can  bo  absorbed  by 
plants  as  a  fertilizer,  they  must  hecomo  soluble 
in  water,  the  same  as  any  other  kind  qf  maoure, 
Conseipiently,  tho  more  thoroughly  decomposed 
before  applyliig  tho  sooner  will  they  be  used  by 
the  gi'owing  plauls.  Still,  the  hops  mixed  in  tho 
soil  may  have  a  mechanical  or  chomlcal  iullucnco 
highly  bonerieial,  independent  of  their  luaimrial 
v.alue. 
(2)  We  think  that  your  experiment  with  cut¬ 
tings  set  over  a  layer  of  hops,  will  do  little  better, 
if  any,  than  in  pure  .sand. 
(3)  Yes ;  malt  will  answer  for  manure,  but  we 
would  mix  it  with  some  other  and  coarse  mate¬ 
rial  ;  for  iiistauco,  add  tho  malt  to  Ibe  compost 
heap  to  hasten  dccomimsition  iind  foruieutatiou. 
(1)  I'llthy  hen  yards  will  someliiues  generate 
lice  or  disease  of  tho  skin,  and  hens  then  get 
iuto  tho  habit  of  eating  or  plucking  feathers 
from  each  other.  To  cure,  see  that  tho  house 
audyaid  ai’o  clean,  and  give  fresh  meat  and  clean, 
pure  water,  with  a  heap  of  di-y  ashes  in  which 
the  fowls  can  take  a  dust-bath  daily. 
Invalid  a.sks  our  opinion  as  to  the  healthful- 
no.ss  of  various  kimls  of  food.  She  disagrees 
with  Mr.  Peck  in  his  (pialiflcd  advocacy  of  pork 
as  a  healthful  food  aud  advocates  an  exclusive¬ 
ly  vegetable  diet," 
There  is  probably  as  much  bosh  written  upon 
lUetetic  subjects  as  upon  any  other.  The  trou¬ 
ble  is,  that  this  class  of  hobby-riders  are  t<x>  fond 
of  making  a  universal  apjilicalion  of  what  is  only 
valuable  for  special  purposes.  Most  of  tho  foods 
usually  eaten  are  healthful,  if  taUou  in  reasona¬ 
ble  quautitios  and  adapted  in  gross  quantity  to 
the  needs  of  the  indiviilual.  Thus  pork  for  a 
man  who  labors  haril  from  morning  until  night, 
in  the  open  au,  is  as  good  as  any  other  food  for 
him.  For  one  of  sedentary  habits,  it  is  perhaps 
tlio  worst.  The  greater  the  expenditure  of  force, 
the  greater  necessarily  tlio  oxhaostiori  of  the 
Bystein  aud  the  greater,  therefore,  tho  uood  of 
concentrated  foods.  It  is  our  opim'oii  that  living 
in  strict  accordance  with  tho  blue  rules  laid  down 
by  ultra  dietetists  is  calculat/jd  to  work  as  much 
injury  as  if  people,  unguidod  by  any  sijocial 
rules,  eat  aud  drank  pretty  much  whatever  tlioy 
choose.  In  all  tho  pursuits  of  life,  whether  in 
matters  of  religion  or  of  intclJcetual  culture,  of 
manual  labor,  or  of  tho  gratiJiCiitiou  of  tho  appe¬ 
tite,  it  is  excessive  devotion,  application  or 
indidgonco  which  induces  disease.  It  ia  a  miser 
able,  narrow  and  timid  philosophy  that  wuidd 
)c8trict  a  man  In  his  diet  to  a  tithe  of  tho  good 
things  for  which  hia  nature  craves  and  which,  if  '
