iigricultural UBpartmEirti 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. m For the best egg production heavy fowls oats are as good feed as any. They give _ jg of the kind rather than hulk while triment they contain which goes to make eggs fat. 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 thin, grayish and fading. A few bot tles of Parker’s Hair Balsam w rought the transformation. It will do as 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 & Wesson pistol. McKinney was in prison awaiting departure for Ten nessee, where he was wanted for an assault with intent to murder. He was arrested Saturday morning by Station-house Keeper Buchanan.
