KENT'S MOST PICTURESQUE FEATURE,

There is nothing toore picturesque in the whole county of Kent than its hop fields. Twenty years ago. the land undir hops in Kent alone comprised over 70,000 acres. Every traveller to the Continent by Dover

to or Romsgate, is familiar with the Kentish hop felda.

At this time of the year the sight is a re- markable one to a stranger. The hops are not yet visible through the ground, but the hop-poles strike the imagination. There are miles of poles, bare, about twelve `fest. high, planted in rows with mathematical regularity, supported by wire- guards, which pass from one to the other, and the whole tied and cometed together by a maze of rope work designed for the. purpose of bearing the hop plant upwards. in it growth. From the zaliway it haa'a jangle-like appearance, but a loser view revents the schemo in detail and shows the cleverness of the arrangement When the viner have tenshed the top of the poles, and the Hower, or herry, hangs down in clusters, the sight of an almost in- penetrable wall of verdure is one to be sovu and remembereă:

SALES AT HALF COST OF PRODUCTION.

- Of greater importance than the pictures-" que aspect, ja lhe permutais side of the question. The growing of hops is purely a matter of profit and loss. If the Sheffield cutler makes a knife or eightpance and Bells it at a shilling to is well repaid; if he were compelled to sell it for sixpence he would very so close his works Apply the same method of reasoning to Kentish kops, and the issue is as clear as daylight. At present the farmer cannot grow his hops at a cost to himself of less than. Si 10s per out. Remember that importent fact. If he could sell them at 25 per cwt. he would make a profit; but any shrewd business man will agree that an in- vestment of 24.10s,dependent upon the
