Mushrooms fried with bacon or ham
are very appetizing.
The raising of mushrooms should be-
come quite an industry in the South-for
canning, pickles, ketchup and for home
consumption. Horse manure can easily
be procured from the cities in quantities
that would enable the grower to produce
large quantities of mushrooms The old
mushroom beds afford valuable manure
for vegetables when mixed with bone meal
or an addition of fresh manure.
Thelarge quantity of mushrooms raised
in the vicinity of London, Paris and 9th
er large European cities for sale run into
thousands of dollars annually. There is
no reason why this same industry should
not be developed here. 1t takes more la
Dor than capital to enter upon the busi-
ness, and no loss to the grower, since
there are many uses the vegetable can be
put to.
There are many other fungi growing
in the woods that are edible, but these re-
quire some experience to distinguish their
proper character. Later on | may be
able to afford your readers with some

muck two inches thick, water with fine
rose watering pot; insert the hand in the
course of two weeks and observe whether
the heat is too great; it should only be
warm. If hot, use water at about 800 to
lower the temperature. The bed should
be ready in about one month. You now
about three to four inches deep. Place a
piece of spawn about the size of a hen egg
about twelve inches apart, taking care to
leave a small portion of the spawn pro
jecting You now put on covering OF
one inch of loan over the entire bed. Ii
the weather is dry and hot it will be nee
essary to water the bed thoroughly with
a rose watering pot. At all times use wa
ter at about 800; cold water destroys fer
mentation. After spawning mushrooms
may be expected in about month to six
weeks. The bed will bear from two to
three months, and when it begins to fail
use liquid manure to water the bed; one
pail of poultry manure to seven pals of
water will becorrect; let settle before using.
In gathering mushrooms pull or twist
them out, do not cut Fill up the holes
with little soil; it prevents decay and
insects from entering the stump.
Another plan, without spawn, is to Sc
lect a damp, shady spot. Spade in after
covering the soil one foot thick with stable
manure. Dig trench a spit wide, then
fill up with manure and cover with soil.
Proceed over the entire spot until you
have buried the manure; rake off smooth,
water and tramp down. Should the
weather be dry, water again. If the bed is
properly made mushrooms will appear in
six weeks. Do not forget TO cover the bed
with pine straw, old bags or any material
that will afford protection The mush-
room will form under this. Last year L
raised large quantity in this way.
In regard to mushrooms as a food sup
ply; few persons are aware of their pecu-
liar value as a food supply. They ap-
prOach nearer to the nature of animal
matter than any other production of the
vegetable kingdom. They possess hydro
gen, oxygen and carbon and contain a
considerable quantity of nitrogen also,
phosphates of lime and osmazome. They
are considered very nutritious.
OF the various ways in which these deli
cious vegetables may be cooked, will
give few instructions. First peel them
by taking hold of the skin at the outer
edge of the rim; this will come off easily
towards the apex; trim the stems and
wipe dry, if it is necessary to wash them.

the mushrooms in the pan and pepper and

METHODS OF FORMING THE sPAwN-WAYs
OF COOKING THE MUSHROOM.

} -ssti : .tt'
These valuable fungi are easily cultiva
ted, the preparations being simple and in
expensive. The first step towards their
propagation is. the production of spawn,
botanically known as "Mycelium." Dur
ing dry weather the growth is suspended.
Underthe influence of moisture thisspawn
develops themushroom; hence the reason
why they are plentiful in the wet seasons
of summer and fall.
To those unaccustOmed to using mush-
rooms there is much doubt as to their not
being poisonous kind. To recognize the
true mushroom, it should be observed
that they are regular in form, creamy or
white on the top and pink gills under
meath that turn black as soon as the
mushroom attains it's size, or shortly af-
ter gathering. Then there is a peculiar
aroma not mistaken by any person who
has once seen a true plant. The two
kinds used extensively are the Meadow
Mushroom, color white or pale brown,
and the Horse Mushroom that is yellow
ish The last named variety have grown
in quantities with very little trouble. The
uniform temperature of Florida is cOndu-
Give to the production of mushrooms, and
especially in the summer and fall. From
500 and not over 800 will produce them
without artificial heat or protection other
than against an over-abundance of rain.
The ingredient to depend upon is horse
manure, free from litter and straw that
from we'll fed animals can only be depend
ed upon for spawn. To make this procure
a few bushels, or as much as you desire to
make up, of clean horse manure; mix it
well, dampen and then form round heap
under shed or in the stable; tread it, to
prevent active fermentation; after few
days open the heap, insert the hand and
ascertain that the heat is not too great.

five years ago and settled i'm Kansas City.
They obtained her Address and sent IL to
Jacob ShillinGer, who forthwith wrote To
her. They had never seen each other, hut
knew each Others families, and the result
was that Anna agreed to become Mrs.
