BERRIES.

In time of peace prepare for war, is
the maxim Of the wise statesman and
the hOrticulturist, adopting the spirit OF
this motto, sets about preparing for the
next summer rs soon as the cool days
and nights of autumn lay TO rest the
roots and stalks of his fruit trees and
vines. Among the small fruits raspber-
ries seem to take most kindly 10 the eli
mate and soil of Kansas. Every farmer
should have a LOT or patch planted to
this delicious, easily propagated fruit.
il is not only wholesome luxury that
his family may enjoy in season. but if a
surplus Is raised, so much the better, he
can dispose of them at his nearest town
1t good prices, and the citizens will he
only too glad of the opportunity OF
supplying their tables with fresh berries
grown at home. Thousands of dollars
arc sent out Of the State every summer
in exchange for berries of all kinds,
which ought to be grown at home

ABOUT COOKING.

In cooking almost all kinds of meat
soft water should be used when possible
but with vegetables hard water is often
best, and for that reason salt is thrown
into the water to make il hard when
cooking. Some vegetables are spoiled
BY cooking in soft water. because il
will dissolve or make them so tender
that all the flavor passes into the water,
leaving the vegetables insipid and
worthless, destroying all the tirmness of
texture necessary to retain the flavor
and juices. Salt is also added to retain
the color, else that would DC lost in the
water and the vegetable become yellow

THE MICROPUS CUCOPTERUs.

The chinch bug is equally destructive
through all its stages of growth. From
the time the little red bug issues from
the egg to the hour of its death it con-
stantly draws nOurishment from those
channels that would ultimately end in
Our bins and cribs. Its food is obtained
entirely by suction. Provided with a
strong. sharp beak. it pierces its food
plant and sucks out the sap. A plant is
unable to supply the hundreds of little
stomachs that are pumping away at its
vital current, and ut the same time keep
up its regular function of growth and
development. This little insect is singly
very insignificant, but collectively il is
immense. The amount ofinjury result
ing from its punctures can scarcely be
estimated. But when we see very
promising fields of small grain whiten-
ing before its march. and acres of corn
Scorched as by q fire, we can then real
lie the Importance of such small matters

HAM BALLS.

Beat six eggs until very light, and add
Aour gradually until you have batter
sti6 enough to admit of being made into
balls. Prepare some cold boiled ham
fat and lean mixed-by chopping il up
very fine then flour it and mix with
the batter. Drop the balls into melted
lard that is boiling hot: fry, and then
drain them on seive until they are free
from the adhesion Of any grease. This
is nice way to use ham after il has
been sent to the table for several days
and good deal has been cut from the
joint, so that il no longer makes very
slightly dish.
