A Talk About HOuse.WOrk.

Girls whose parents can afford to keep
servants get the impression sometimes
that it is quite out of the question for
them to engage in any kind of house
hold work, some even leaving the care
Of their own room to the charge of hired
help. Such girls seem to us the embodi-
ment of laziness. There is no reason
why every girl should not understand
the running of the household machinery,
SO that if any time mother was sick and
unable to oversee the usual arrange
ments, her daughter might be able to
take her place, managing satisfactorily.
1t is false notion that to become
housekeeper is to become also domes-
tic drudge, and if any of the girls who
read this have made up their minds to
that effect, let them abandon it instantly,
and by experience prove it libel.
When there are two sisters in family,
good plan is to divide the work, each
one being responsible for that portion
that is intr1sted to her care. Let each
one understand clearly what is expected
of her, not doing it hap hazardly, but
promptly and regularly each week; or
| the work could be alternated, if this ar
rangement would be more agreeable.
One reason we would give in favor of
household work for girls is, that it gives
a chance to learn the main details con-
nected with woman's work that can not
be learned in any other way tltan by ex~
perience, and without which knowledge
no woman can govern a house well.
We don't want to convey the impression
that girl should shoulder the entire re-
sponsibility of her home, but simply to
show her how much better it is to be
able and to knowhov to doitshoulditever
become necessary. Homework is not
demeaning; to the contrary, we consider
it elevating, and girl can be just as
much lady in sweeping with
broom in hand, as in dreaktdSt-cdp, re-
clining languidly with book in hand
The truest, noblest Rsd best woman we
know has been trained from her girl
hood to look, practically, to the ways of
the household, and yet she is lady in
every respect, au ornament to the most
cultivated society. When you have
homes of your own, girls, and are
obliged TO get along with little or no
help, you will be thankful for the train
ing you have imposed upon yourself in
youth, or if it falls to your lot to have
servants in abundance, you will still be
glad that you can rule and direct them,
and should they leave you without any
warning, as they are sometimes disposed
to do, you viii be ''mistress OF the stu
ation," able to take hold successfully,
until such time as relief may come.

Small Fruits for Farmers.

The soil for small fruits should be
rich and well drained. 1t should be
plowed in narrow strips, narrowed and
smoothed, and rolled down. To smooth
it, get a two-inch plank about twelve
feet long, and as wide as you can find.
Bore two holes near the edge, and about
eight feet apart. Hitch two horses
separately to the plank, by means of
small chains passing from the holes to
single-trees, stand on the back edge of
the plank and drag it over the land. 1t
is the best thing in the world for mash
ing clods, and will leave the ground
smooth, loose and fine as any one could
wish. Try it once, and you will discard
rollers.
BLACKCAP RAsPBERRIEs.
OF raspberries, about two hundred
plants will be sufficient. The blackcaps
are my favorites, because they don't
sprout up all over the ground, and are
easily taken care of, while the fruit is
equal to the best. The ground should
be prepared as for Strawberries, then
the holes made with hoe, the tips
dropped in and covered like corn. Set
the rows five feet apart, and the plants
three feet apart in the row.
When the plants have grown a foot
high, nip off the top, and when the
branches are ten inches long clip off the
ends. Go through the patch in the lat
ter part of September, and where you
see the end of branch near the ground,
cut a piece of it off. This is all the trim
ming they need the first year.
Keep the weeds out with the hoe and
cultivator until October, then cover the
ground heavily with coarse prairie hay
or clean straw.
Two of the best varieties are Doolittle
Blackcap and Mammoth Cluster Both
are old and well tried. Set one hundred
of each. The Doolittle comes in as
strawberries go out, and the Mammoth
Cluster follows it. The plants cost
about so per hundred.
If you want blackberries, set them
where you can make a hog-pen all
around them. Spade holes about foul
inches deep and three feet apart, dror
the plants in, and cover with fine soil
Keep the weeds and hogs out the first
year. The second year let the large
hogs run all around the patch, and the
little pigs in it. After this all that is nee
essary is to cut paths through it with 6
brush scythe or hedge-knife, and throw
some manure along the paths. A patch
like this will yield enormously of the
largest and most luscious berries as long
as you leave it there, and by having {
hog-pen around it, it will always stag
eOhere yOu put IL! The Snyder is the
only variety worth planting.
1t is no more trouble to grow all tn,
fruit you want, and of tho best quality
too, than to grow patch of cabbage

Onion Soup.-Take three large
onions, slice them very thin, then fry to
a light brown in large spoonful of
either butter or stock-fat, the latter
answering equally as well. When brown,
add half teacupful of flour, and stir
constantly until red. Then pour in
slowly one pint of boiling water, stirring
steadily until it's all in. Boil and mash
four fine large potatoes, and stir into
one quart of boiling milk, taking care
that there are no Jumps. Add this to
the fried onions, with one teaspoonful of
salt and half teaspoonful of white pep
per. Let all boil for five minutes, and
then serve with toasted or fried bread.
Simple as this seems, it is one of the
best vegetable soups, though it is made
richer by the use of stock instead of
water. 49,.
