The making Of sauerkraut of late
years has become a large industry in
a few places in the United States, a
single factory having an output Of 25.-
900 barrels in two months and a half.
In fact, 1t is claimed that even in Ger
many there is no one spot where there
is as much kraut made rs there is in
a small Ohio town. At Clyde, O., the
product Of about 1900 acres Of cab
bages IS annually utilized, each acre
yielding about ten tons. These cab
bages usually bring sc to 81 ton. The
farmers Of the vicinity therefore often
receive 100000 for this crop.
