South Court street filled with a dense

where the fire was, but was driven back.
The third effort was more successful.
and he discovered his drying room, ad-
joining his washing and ironing room,
in a blaze. With the aid Of his servants
water was turned on and buckets were
used, and in about fifteen minutes
the flames were driven back and
suppressed. His loss on table linen and
clothing amounted to several hundred
dollars. When CASTOR advanced up.

Chineh.Bux.-Bird. the Remedy.

Mr.. A. Coffin, of Hendricks County, Ind, writes
to the Indiana Farmer follows:
My knowledge of the chinch-bug goes back TO
1877, in GuilfOrd County, North Carolina. In
that year they appeared in vast numbers, doing
much damage to wheat and oats, and after har-
vest they attacked the young corn, and did much
damage. In 1884 and 1895, they appeared in as
great or greater numbers, doing much more
damage to the corn; many farmers tried various
means of destroying them, as scalding, burning,
blowing, etc. to little purpose. Again in 1S4l
and 1872 they were on hand, though in less num-
bers than before. In 1S45 found them on my
farm in this State, though in small numbersi
since that time they have been here every year,
in less or greater numbers, and are in the fodder
to-day still alive, ready to perpetuate the stock
When was a small boy, old men spoke of
them as a pest extending back as far as their
memories reached, into the middle of last centu-
fury, and they were not looked upon as a new
importation.
How to get rid of them is question not easily
answered; while there is food for them, and cir
cumstances favor their increase, they will re-
main, but there is a means by which they may
be held in check, if not destroyed. This is by
protecting birds that destroy them food, the
quail, prairie hen, and pheasant. If we look
carefully into the condition of things in the
State where Fl. 1. Bennett says the bugs are
most destructive, the birds above named, have
been, and are destroyed in a most reckless and
shameful manner.
In the first settling of the Western States, the
proportion of these birds to the number of acres
of grain, was ten-fold more than now, and the
bugs accordingly were kept in check, otherwise
they will increase without limit, with this rem
edy for their depredations, we will continue to
reap the reward of our folly and sin.

Strawberry Culture.

A very successful strawberry raiser near Gin
cinnati, gives the following as the essential re-
quisites for the best success, and consequently
the most economical mode of management: 1.
Clean, rich soil; one that is entirely free from
weeds and its seeds, which has been subjected
to perfect clean culture for year previously,
either with hOed crop or Summer fallow.
Buckwheat is found to be good crop to PrrU0do
strawberries. 2. Planting in Spring, not in Sum-
mer or Autumn, and after the severe frosts have
past, as they sometimes at that place badly in
jure newly set plants. 3. Selecting good plants
of the previous years growth that have not
borne fruit and keeping flower buds cut off so as
not to bear the first year. The plants are fifteen
inches apart, in rows three feet asunder. 4.
Horsepower for cultivating thoroughly, with
small plow, cultivator, shovel plow, small round
toothed harrow, hoe, &c. 5. Plant in clusters
in the row (not matted rows) with runners cut
off. 6. Mulching with Oat straw late in the Au-
tumn, and raking it away into the spaces in
SPRING and not disturbing the soil till after the
fruit is gathered. The first crop is always lar
gest and best, and hence only one crop is taken
which also Obviates more laborious subsequent
wedding. Wilson's is exclusively planted.

Asefal aud Curious.
Ctililzng Steam.


Steam may be made of great use in the kiteh-
en-. Stale bread may be steamed; potatoes are
better steamed than boiled, and the same Is true
of dumplings and puddings But, aside from the
steamer, steam will be found very useful IL prop
erly utilized. All the pots and kettles should be
nicely fitted with basins or "pressed" ware; let
the wire of the basin rest firm on top OF the ket-
tie. The basins, being shallow, leave room
enough beneath them for vegetables or meat,
and they will be found to be as useful as another
hole in the stove. Mashed turnips, desirable
but impossible breakfast dish for people VINO
have any business on hand, if put into one OF
these basins and steamed over a kettle OF pota-
toes or other vegetables, will be found TO be "as
good as new" it will remain lght-colored and
have no taste of scorched butter. If picked cod
fish and milk is TO be prepared, put the hsh,
which has been soaked over night, on the stove,
and let it boil a minute or two, pour OIL the wa,
ter and set the basin over boiling Kettle, -adu
the milk, seasoning, and thickening-eggs, IL
used, should not be put in till it is nearly done
and it will cook nicely, without any danger oil
burning. Cracked wheat is best prepared IN
this way: Use one-third wheat and two-thlrds
cold water; stir occasionally, and add salt when
nearly done. 1t is also good substitute for a
farina Kettle, for farina, blanc-mange, boiled
custard, ETC.; but when much stirring is neces-
sary q stone milk bowl should be used instead of
a tin basin. Many more ways in which steam
may be used will suggest themselves to the intel
ligent housewife, and we will merely add, that
it requires about One-third more time to cook
food by steam than by boiling, and that any
thing cooked in this way should be closely COW
