Pun Balls Good TO Eat.

Probably you have all noticed the lit
tie white puff balls in spring and "shot
off, the same in autumn, when they are
dry and full Of dark powder. This is
one Of our choicest eatable mushrooms.
One admirer says he cut slice from a
giant puff ball, which grew near his
home, every day for week and had SO
many fresh fritters, whereas, if he had
cut it all down the first day, it would
not have made nearly so many meals.
One giant puff ball, when young and
creamy, il we'll cooked, will satisfy the
appetites Of IL people. In olden times
slices Of this mushroom were used to
bind up cuts and were said to insure
their speedy healing. In the days Of
flint and steel, before matches were in
vented, the powder Of the dried puff
balls was often used to catch and hold
the SPARKS. Another strange use to
which 1t was put was to burn It before
q beehive The fumes made the bees
drowy, and the honey could be removed
without difficulty. -Marsaret W. Leigh
