The Culture of Mushrooms.

In answer to the inquiry of L. B., Lake
View Farm, we copy the following from the
Canada Farmer: -..s.. ~. ...s ..# g..
"Many persons regard the culture Of
mushrooms as a greatdnystery. But it is net
so. On the contrary, it is as simple us raising
crop Of corn, or cultivating grapevine or
a bed of cabbages, and can be done in out
of-the-way places, taking up little room, and
requiring little attention. Mushrooms, too,
can be raised in winter, when no other crop
can be, and n regular supply had for family
use. Or, if conducted on larger scale, with
view for disposal in our city markets, there
is nothing TO hinder, and a most profitable
thing can be made of the business. All
farmers keep horses and cattle, and have
plenty of manure; and it may be mentioned
that the quantity used in forming mushroom
beds is not lost, for it can, when new beds
are made, be returned to the manure yard
1t must be borne in mind, too, that there is
no necessity to build Il place to grow this
vegetable. 1t can be grown almost anywhere
in an enclosed place-eyen in the kitchen or
sitting-room but the best out-of-the-way
places are close horse-stdble, which is re.
garded as the best of all; mild cellars, en-
closed out-houses Of almost every kind,
where the soil in the beds can be kept from
freezing. Co.
"Now for the mode Of growing. Take a
box, say ten OF twelve inches in depth, and
as long and broad as the space will admit of
or may be desired; pack it down with sin
inches of housekeeping on this put three
inches, of dry cow-droppings, brokef, some
what fine; moisten this mot wetting or delu-
cling it with a strong brine Of nitre or salt
petre water. In this coW-manure plant the
spawn, which can be obtained at the best
horticultural stores;in the form of brick J;
break in good-sized pieces, say as large as a
walnut, and set in triangular shape, thus - ),
and cover with from an eighth to quarter
of an inch mot more than the latter Of fine
dry soil. Cover the whole with old carpet,
or any heavy cloth, so that The hgfs is COM
pletely excluded. OF course it needs no sun,
but just the contrary, as perfect darkness is
required" - ~. s..... I. 4 s.

p Deduct one-ffth from this, and the cost of
raising one acre of bcets will be $4G.S0. The
Weld was 800 bushels, and the cost was 1,
irihe less than five and a half cents per
b,lshel. A crop Of beets grown OIL the same
land the previous year, owing to much
larger yield, cost two cents per bushel less
than that grown last year.
Mr.. Lewis is of the opinion that roots are
of the greatest value when fed with hay or
other fodder, i'll even quantities, from the
time the stock is put up in the fall until they
are.turned out in the spring. He gives rea-
sons for preterring this course 10 only feed
ing while cows give milk; also, for sliciDg
instead OF pulping, and says cattle relish roots
better raw than when cooked. The value OF
roots for feeding Mr.. l.. estimates at fully as
many cents per bushel rs hay is worth dollars
per ton. So if hay is worth ten dollars per
ton, roots would be worth ten cents per
bushel; if hay is twenty dollars, roots would
be twenty cents. He also says the average
cost, when stored in the cellar, need not ex-
coed eight cents per bushel. +.

Root Culture.

At recent meetings of the Little Falls Far
mers' Club, Hon. Harris Lewis read papers
OH root culture, the more important practi-
cal points of which arc here condensed from
the Utica Herald: '-#s r~.
Mr.. Lewis says almost all kinds of soils,
from drifting sand to the strongest clays,
will, if in good condition and under proper
cultivation, produce paying crop Of roots.
Carrots and the various kinds of tllrnips,
however, do best on sandy loan, or on soils
composed of fifty per cent. or more of sand,
while the beets and mangolds yield much
better grown on clay loan having less than
twenty-five per cent. Of sand. After many
trials of the various kinds of roots, on small
scale, during the last twenty-five years, he
has concluded that the small Silesian sugar
beet and the French sugar beet are the most
nutritious. But these, us well AZ the Ger
man sugar beet, grow low in the soil, are
more difficult to harvest, and only yield
from one-fourth to one-half as much
as the American Improved Imperial sugar
beet, which is regarded as nearly equal to
them for cattle food and for the production
of well-fsyored, rich milk. The yellow
globe mangold wurzel, under favorable CIR
elirnstances and with good cultivation, will
yield forty tons or over one thousand three
hundred bushels per acre. When fed to
cows with plenty of good, early-cut hay
they will produce a large quantity of good
milk, and will keep well rs long as required
in the spring. But the American improved
sugar beet Yields from five to ten tons more
per acre than the yellow globe with the same
soil and cultivation; is easier to harvest, will
keep late in the spring, and is excellent for
the production of milk and butter. The
mammoth red mangold viii give larger
yield, but Is considered inferior for cattle
food, and for the production Of milk, butter,
and cheese; it will answer to feed to dry,
stock. Beets will grow well and produce
good crops on the same land for u good many
years; and instances are mentioned where
