The poles, which ought to be of chestnut, are from twSVe to fifteen'feiUt long,.‘one at least to every hill, and set firmly in the ground so as to resist severe wind storms. The vines or', bines, as they are called in England, when the hops are ripe and ready to gather—which would be about the end of August or the begin ning of September at the South — should be cut about three feet from the ground-—not lower because itr would cause the plants to bleed too much—the poles are then lifted out of the ground and laid on. frames ■ made expressly for the purpose, and then the pickers ’ go to work, picking "the hops into baskets, care being taken not to allow discolored or immature fibwers to be mixed with those that are Of the best quality.
