Weeds are undoubtedly the most
expensive crop farmer can grow.
Some farmers are aware of this, and
will not allow them to grow in their
fields. They are subject, however,
every year to the cost of destroying
those which have been sown by other
persons upon their lands. Every
farmer who allows burdocks and
thistles to grow and perfect their
seeds on the roadsides against his
fields, virtually sows their seeds upon
his neighbours land.

Paper She'll Almonds.

There is on Chas. II. Freeman's
place, in Macon, a paper shell almond
tree, which was set out under the
idea that it was a peach tree-the
resemblance being marked, although
when closely examined the diversity
is material. The fruit of this tree has
now attained nearly its full size. 1t
resembles a shrivelled young peach,
and as the fruit natures, the husk
dries and peels off, disclosing as per-
feet paper shell almonds as were
ever imported. Unquestionably this
fruit could be cultivated with success
in Middle Georgia, as it is the pro-
duct of isothermal regions of south
ern Europe.
The almond tree belongs to the
amygdale@-the genus comprehend
ing also the peach, nectarine and
apricot, and no doubt could be pro-
pagated by budding or grating on a
peach stock from this tree. There is
probably no good reason why Georgia
could not, in a few years, supply the
country with paper shell almonds, if
she tried to do it.-MacOn Tele>

THE WACO AND NORTHWESTERN
RAILRoAD.-From an interview with
Mr.. Flint, the persevering and act
i've President of this road, we derive
the gratifying fact that the work is
progressing rapidly on the road, in
fact, never so rapidly as in the last
ninety days. The grading between
Bremond and Marlin is now COM
pleted, and nearly all the ties are
distributed along the line of the
road, ready to be put down. In
fifteen days the company will have
complied with its part of the con-
tract upon that part of the road be-
tween Bremond and Marlin. This
is good news.
Considerable forceis also engaged
in the work of grading between here
and Marlin, and a larger force will
be employed for this purpose so soon
as there is more rain and the ground
softened, SO that work can be prose-
cuted to the best advantage.-[W Waco

A New HAMPSHIRE farmer Is reported
To have threshed, with fail, two bushels
of wheat for seed. These two bushels
were sown in the same field and with the
same conditions as seven bushels of ma
chine threshed seed. They were found to
yield onet third more per bushel than the
machine threshed There is very gen.
eral opinion that machine thrcshed wheat
is somewhat injured for seed. II such in.
jury is to anything ike the extent indi-
Gated by this experiment, II becomes a
matter OF much Importance.
APPLE PfE-Siice peeled apples upon
"A pie plate, and cover with crust Do
not press it down at the edge, but trim it
of neatly. Bake quickly and thoroughly.
Remove the crust, turn its upper side
down upon another pie plate. Mash the
apples Sweeten il to the taste, flavor with
nutmeg, add piece Of butter the size of II
hickory nut, and spread the mixture upon
the crust. A little sWeetened cream pour.
ed upon this when eaten is delicious; or
the pie may be made very nice by spread
ing the wellbeaten sweetened whites Of 3
eggs over the top. In the latter case, the
apples should be made very sweet.
GRAHAM AND BRowN BREAD--For

then add cold milk enough to make the

cool enough not to scald, add half tea

place to rise When light, put in a little
salt, and half teacupful Of syrup Tor

into the steamer over boiling water, and
let it cook an hour, then bake twenty
minutes i'll the oven BY a little practice
and good judgment, housekeeper can
alter the size Of the loaf and learn the
proper stiffness observing carefully not to
open the steamer while the bread is cook
ing, or the bread will be heavy. For Con-
Bread, | make the sponge the same way,

The box should be three quarters of an

bottom, SO that when the boxes Of honey
are put in ii will require little pressure
to bring the top down 10 its place.
