How 10 Make Mushroom Beds.

Mr.. Meehan, editor of the Gardeners
Monthly, who has has had much experience in
the cultivation OF mushrooms, gives the follow
ing simple directions for preparing bed:
. II is the easiest thing in the world for one
who knows how to raise them, and vet simple as
it is, 1t is one of the hardest things to teach to
another. The main principle is that the tenperd-
tTe 0f the AIR and that Of the earth must be nearly
The same or they cannot be grown. There must
also be correspondence between the moisture
In the atmosphere and that in the soil. The
temperature required is between 50 and 65 deg,
and the atmospheric moisture just such that
piece OF paper would never get dry, or yet so
wet that one could not write on il with ink
without its running too much. This is the best
idea We can give OF the conditions necessary. 1t
requires intellect to comprehend the conditions,
simple as they are; for we have never seen any
grow them from reading alone.
The best material for forming the bed, is
the droppings Of oat-fed horses. These should
be collected every day, and placed in a conve-
nient shed close by the stable, kept dry, and
turned over every few days to keep from heating
too strongly When as much as is required TO
make bed has been collected, lay il about
eighteen inches thick in any place where the
above conditions can be secured. The spawn
can be bought in the large seed stores. Break
it in pieces the size of walnuts, place on the
bed a foot apart, and then An this about an inch
OF any good garden earth, beaten firm. Water
with water at the temperature above given, and
nothing more is necessary in order to have plenty
OF mushrooms, out TO beUare Of any chang. in TIE
conditions.
There are many plans by which each other
can carry out these principles. When a boy,
our pocket money came from the privilege OF
raising what mushrooms We could in an old
cellar under a tool house. 1t succeeded adj
mirably; and big fat fellows often sent us on
our way to market rejoicing in our success. In
France they rooos over old stone quarries and
make them into caves, where they are grown by
the acre, and almost all Europe and America
supplied IN canned mushrooms thereirom. We
are often astOnslIed that more is not done with
II than Is No bugs, worms, beetles. aphides,
birds, heats, colds, rams, mildews or
moulds' to contend withholding required but
strong common sense on the one hand and a
pocket full OF money returns on the other"

All about Oysters.

OySt>T Soup--Put two quarts of oysters, Ii
quor and all, in a pan, set them on the stove TO
heat but don't let it boil, or come very near to
il; now drain all the liquor into your soup ket-
tie, put in pint OF water and two quarts of ne W
milk, half pound Of butter, a little whole all
spice and pepper have the oysters all this time
where they will keep warm, add them and salt
TO taste just az you are ready to serve the SOUP:
break up some crackers tine and put into the
soup before the oysters are put in.
Salt should always be put in the last thing in
any soup, stew or fricassee, where milk Is used
or IL IS apt TO curdle. Oysters should never be
boiled. but only scalded; it makes them tough
and shrinks them all W; II they TO be ewed
heat them hot but don't boil them, always have
the soup or gravy hot.
Oyster Stele.-Put as many good fresh oysters,
with their liquor as you think you will need into
a pan on the stove To heat, but not boil. Drain
the juice OFF into saucepan, rs soon as it boils
add hall pound OF butter and some pepper;
little with flour, after this boils up once put in
the oysters and more salt If necessary. Serve
very hot.
Oyster Toas, the same. only no cream thicken
the juice q little with -four; when the stew is
ready have few slices Of toast laid In a dish
well buttered) and pour the oysters over it. IL
is best to Ihest the dish hot that you put your
oysters in to send to the table, as they are so
much better hot than merely warm.
Oyster SteU without C5edm--Make in all re-
speets tho same rs with cream, only substituting
half pint OF water for the cream Many per-
Oyster frfueys-Make batter Of milk, four,
eggs, cream OF tartar, saleratus, salt in proper
proportion. Don't make any thicker than TOR
pan cakes. Drop an oyster into each spoon of
batter as you dip it ont and try in hot lard;
brown well on both sides.
Oysters Fried-Drain the oysters well, roll in

two thirds lard, one-third butter.

Putting Away Winter Cabbaxe.

though we have seen recommended various
modes OF preserving cabbage through the winter
and have tried several Of them, We continue to
pursue the method that we have generally
adopted for some twenty years, and which We
have frequently described in this department.
IL is simply to dig slight trenches side by side,
will readily drain of, in which stand the cab
bage just as II grows, sinking IL up to the head.
The rows can be as closely together Is the size
OF the heads will admit Of. Cover over with
corn-fodder, straw. or bean-haulm. Then set
four posts so as to form pitch, placing the head
against wall or boardfence. Form Q roof by
bean poles, when boards are not at hand cover
tins with cornstalks or straw. Ifordinarily we'll
done the cabbage will keep Is long Is Is desired,
having usually kept ours until April and MAY.

The Tournament which came off, near

public notice was given, ever, oody was

Of Opelousas, in short.
Mr.. Pintard Williams won the crown.
Miss Minnie King was. crowned queen.
"a Mr.. - Harper won the first wreath,
and presented it to Miss - EIosey.
Mr.. e. s. Taylor won the second wreath,
and presented il to Miss Kate Cooke.
The Tournament, however, was merely
the prelude to the Ball at Johnston's Hotel,
the same evening. 1t was adopted as a nov
ell means to attract ladies' to the ball, and
served its purpose efectually. The Ball
was largely attended, and passed off pleas
antly to all.
We understand another tournament is on
foot, BY married gentlemen only, who were
excluded f. m the other. And afterwards,
still another one, by old gentlemen, that is,
