The Size OF u Drop.

Mr.. I. l.. Talbot has made a series of ex-
periments regarding the size of drops, and
their use in measuring medicines, etc. He
finds that liquids containing small proper.
ton of water afford small drop and vice
versa. Gmelin's statement shat the cohe-
sion of liquids is pretty nearly in proportion
to their specific gravity" is called in ones.
ton, and the fact that alcohol and mercury
afford nearly the same number of drops to
the drachm certainly throws considerable
doubt on the matter. The size of drops is
affected principally by the cohesion of the
liquid, and the form of lip over which the
drop falls. Bottles with ground necks, wide,
thin, even lips give fair results. but are not
so accurate as choppers. 1.-THE best OF
these will not, however, average at all we'll.
The administration of powerful medicines
should not be attempted by drops, and this
mode of measurement is, in any case, mad
missible if the quantity exceeds half u
drachm. The largest drop is formed by
syrup of gum arabic, A to the dracbm. As
a general rule tinctures, fluid extracts and
essential oils yield drop less than one-hal f
the size of water; and syrups dilute acids
and solutions give drop but slightly smaller
than water.

The Texas Land and Railway journal,
published at Austin, says: Heretofore the
pecan crop as source Of revenue has at
tracled but little attention. No care what.
ever has been taken Of the trees; in fact, in
many localities, trees fifty to one hundred
years old have been cut down solely to OBJ
tain the nuts. Before the civil war the ex-
ports from the port of Indianola alone we're
reported at Sl00,000; now it is estimated that
the amount annually gathered exceeds S.
0OO,OOO in value With proper care of the
trees and,systematic gathering ofthe crop it is
believed that $40, 10000 could be realized an
nually. Millions ofbushels are lost every year
by falling upon the ground and rotting, or
devoured by hogs, squirrels, turkeys and
other animals and birds. Except in en-
closed pastures no claim is made by the
owners of the land to the frutage from the
trees. Mexicans and negroes are the pecan
gatherers, and in some districts white chill
drer."
And you say truly We regard this as
among the grandest Of Gods gifts to our ia
vored land. There are, AS the journal says,
fools who cut the trees down for their nuts
The verdict of the world is Herostratus,
who burned the temple of Ephesus was an
IDIOT but he accomplished his object-got
his name in the papers. The pecan des-
troyer gets ameal at best, but no more.
Our black walnut and cedar forests are
going down for frewood-for posts, fence
rails, and for other common purposes, with
the sx-man too ignorant to know they are
almost worth rs much now IS the land, and
in time will be worth their weight in gold.
The day is at hand when timber is as valu-
BILE as it is on the continent of Europe, and
each year enhances it fully ten per cent, es.
pecially in Texas. A ten acre pecan orchard
would be as rich an estate as respectable
cattle rancho, aud would last until the end
of time.

Receipts for the Table.

Red Cabbage.-Cut firm head ofcabbage
in shreds; lay it in saucepan, with the fol-
lowing ingredients: One gill of vinegar, one
teaspoonful each of ground cloves and salt,
half saltspoonful OF pepper, two ounces OF
butter, and two ounces of sugar; stew it
gently until tender, about one hour, shaking
the pan TO prevent burning, and serve it hot.
Miss Corson's Cooking manual.
Waflles. To make waf1les: One quart of
milk, three pints of flour, four ounces of lard,
four ounces of butter, six eggs, half a gill Of
yeast. In this receipt should make no de =
duction of flour on account of the eggs used
because of the quantity of butter and lard;
put IN this: one quart of milk, three pints of
hour, four eggs and four ounces of butter, |
should take light measure of -four; flour
should always be sifted before il is measured
anu the measure should not be heaped These
last waflies are very nice, and are made in
this manner: Add the flour to the cold milk
and beat thoroughly; melt the butter and add
by degrees; separate the eggs adding one
yolk alta time and beating thoroughly into
the butter before adding another. Later,
add the whites, beaten to a stiff froth; bake
Immediately. If well beaten these are good
either as waffes or griddle cakes. This
receipt Is also very good made over night,
and raised with gill Of yeast. In that case
add butter and egg in the morning, and you
csn also vary by sometimes using baking
powder. As a general rule in making ali
kinds of batter cakes, beat the yollls of the
eggs with the batter. and the whites separately,
adding them last,

How to Bed Pointnes.

We can raise more potatoes to the hill and
to the acre in Texas than anybody else, but
the trouble is in keeping them through the
winter. John Cochrane SAYS his plan is to
bed them in dry cellar. 1t must be dry.
II must be drained dry, or made dry in some
other way. Then dry dirt is thrown upon it,
then layer of dry potatoes, then more dry
dirt, then more dry potatoes, then more dry
dirt and so on until the crop is put away.
Then the room is closed in wet weather and
opened in dry weather. The atmosphere
must be kept dry, the dirt dry, the potatoes
dry. Dry is the first, middle, continuous and
last question.

The heavy cotton crop and scarcity of la
Dor have prevented the sowing of wheat, and
everything else we plant in the fall. Is il
still too late? Upon this point farmers diff
fer. Wheat has been sown in November in
north Texas, and produced we'll We hope
that farmers will at least put in enough for
their own use, if they have not already done
so. 1t will require but few acres. 1t is the
truest economy. This thing of buying -four,
or provisions of any kind, is ruinous to q
farmer. We don't care what the price of
cotton is, it may be 20 cents, if you please, il
you raise nothing else you will sooner or
later be in the hands of the sheriff. Cotton
produced for revenue only should be the in
exorable rule of every tiller of the soil in the
south. We must, five prosper and become

raising twenty bales ofcotton and expanding

How is it that farmer who always has
plenty OF hogs, cattle, sheep, turkeys and
chickens around him is always all right?
His debts are paid when DUE his credit is
high, his family are we'll clothed, there is
plenty and to spare on his table, and every
year he Is richer. The plain reason is his

their yield per acre, and he of his Berkshires,
they OF the amount of cash their cotton sold
for, and he of the number of bushels OF corn
in his crib and pounds of bacon on hand.
How does it happen that the cotton planter
always accepts an invitation to dine there,
and is glad to get it, in preference to his
dinner on canned goodc, store bacon and
other things he has bought in town? And
why is his horses and mules always poor in

no advice upon the value of provisions rails

And the farmer who raises these things at

for which we live and which we enjoy during
our brief span of life.

Death of Uncle John" Scherer.

In many year there has not been such
a spontaneous testimonial of the esteem
and affection in which d citizen was held
as was given by the assemblage, Sunday
evening, at the funeral of John B. Scherer,
ST., who died on Friday night last. st.
Francis church would not hold one quar-
ter of the crowd. The grounds around the
church were full and even the streets in
front were lined with those who had come
to JOIN in this last testimonial, to the
memory of, as the public famlliarly and
affectionately called him ''Uncle john,
Scherer. MIR. John B. Scherer was sixty
eight years of age and came to this coun-
try from Baden, Germany, forty years ago.
He worked on a farm and about twenty
years ago started bakery, to which in la
ter years he added saloon. His integrity
If character and his good sound sense OBJ
tanned the confidence of his fellow citizens
which found expression in choosing him
to assist IN the municipal affairs of the
city. He was for some time member Of
the city council and an efficient one, and
1t the time of his death was member of
the City School Board. His life was an
active and industrious one and resulted in
the accumulation of good property
though his generous disposition caus-
ed him many embarrassing losses. He
leaves widow advanced in years, a
son, Mr.. J. B. Scherer, Jr., and two
daughters-Mrs. J. Hilbert and Mrs. John
Devine, who have the sympathy OF the
community.
