A pear that weighed one and three
quarter pounds and measured fourteen
inches around came off a tree on the
place of Mrs. Davis at Dahlonega a day
or two ago, It is a winter variety.
It requires more time to spread ma
nure over two acres than over one,
and hence the aim should he to con
centrate the labor on the smallest
pace that can he made piotitable.

K. S., Wood County, Va.—“Please
inform me what sort of a beverage
ratafia is; what is it made of.—Rata
fias are liquors prepared by infusing
the juice and kernels of fruit in strong
spirit with sugar.
- Subscriber.—“A receipt for making
sauerkraut will be acceptable.”—
Sauerkraut is a German preparation
of cabbage fermented in' layers, be
tween which salt is laid and the whole
pressed down with weights for a few
days, at the end of which time it be
comes acid and the greater portion of
the juice is drawn off. In preparing
it the outer leaves and stalk are re
moved, the latter being sliced and the
whole cabbage cut in small pieces
which as fast as cut are thrown in the
barrel and pounded and pressed down
with a wooden mortar prepared for
the purpose; salt is lightly sprinkled
between the layers—about six pounds
to the barrel is the amount usually
emploved—and the barrel set in a
warm * place until the fermentation
is over when it should be removed
to a cool cellar, where if it has
been properly prepared and is kept
under the brine by weights, the kraut
will remain good indefinitely. To
serve the kraut when once made, take
from the cask or barrel the amount
required, soak it in cold water for
two hours; drain through a colander;
put into a stewpan or kettle with a
piece of corned pork or bacon and
enough cold water to nearly cover it.
Cover and cook over a moderate fire
until the pork is done. Serve with
the meat on it. Or the kraut may be
boiled in water and served with fried
^usages.
Turnips as a Profitable Crop.
Waldo F. Brown says that for twen
ty-five years he has not made a fail
ure w ith a turnip crop, and w ith the
exception of perhaps two years he
lias grown from one hundred bushels
up to as high as fifteen hundred, each
Year. Although some years he has j
not been able to sell, and so has fed j
them to his stock; in other seasons
they have paid him a larger net profit ■
than any crop grown on the farm, j
and taking the years one with anoth
er. he has found an acre or two of j
turnips to pay better than most farm
crops. He remembers one year that
he sold a carload of 4l>0 bushels at 33
2-3 cents a bushel on the track of his
station, and. as he was loading the
car. was frequently asked by farmers
the price, and several times when he
told them they said; “Can you make
anything growing turnips at that
price?" It so happened that com was
selling at the same price, and Mr.
Brown said to them: “You grow on
an average less than fifty bushels of
corn to the acre and give it the entire
season and several thorough work
ings: I grew an average of 209 bush
els of turnips to the acre and grew
them as a second crop, and gave them
no cultivation at alL” Mr. Brown
says 200 bushels is a very moderate
crop and that he has grown 000 bush
els on an acre of highly manured land
that had grown two crops besides the
same season, the crop being early
peas that were marketed June 11 and
the second crop pickles, and the tur-
*nips were sown about the 1st of Au
gust at the last working of the cu
cumbers. He believes that it is easi
er to grow 1,000 bushels of turnips on
an acre than 100 bushels of corn.
A Coffee That Intoxicates.
Bolivian coffee is newly introduced
into this market. The berry is large,
lustrous and although of good flavor,
is of surprising strength. Used as Mo
cha, Java, or Rio coffees are, in infu
sions, it is so much richer in the ac
tive principle of coffee that its effect
upon the nervous system are almost
like delirium tremens. It promises to
be of much use in mixing with weak
er coffee or giving strength to adulte
rated mixtures.—Chicago Herald.
“Michael StrogofF ’
Mr. G. C. Staley, while playing the
leading part in “Michael Strogoff,” at
Oakland, Cal., became so hoarse from
a severe cold that he despaired of be
ing able to continue his part. Two
bottles of Red Star Cough Cure en
tirely cured him. Does not nauseate.
Eddie Reaves, aged 12, son of J. H.;
Reaves, of Augusta, was shot and
killed recently, while hunting near
1 hat city. Reaves, with his compan
ions, was endeavoring to climb over
the fence at the fair grounds when
the gun went off, firing the loads of
both barrels into his head. The load
tore away the entire lower part of his
face, and the shot lodged in the brain.
Death was instantaneous.
“Her features are not regular, yet
what an attractive face she has!” It
is her beautiful hair. Once it was

tles of Parker’s Hair Balsam w rought

much for anybody. [17 4t
James Gouch, near Geddistown, in
Union county, set a steel trap a short
time ago for the purpose of catching
some musk-rats that were infesting
his corn field. He went to the trap
the next morning and to his astonish
ment found a musk-rat and an owl,
both caught in the trap.
George McKinney, a prisoner in the
city prison at Atlanta, Saturday, blew
his brains out with a new Smith &

prison awaiting departure for Ten

assault with intent to murder. He
was arrested Saturday morning by
Station-house Keeper Buchanan.
