The Value of Cultivated Mushrooms
AS Food.

The nutritive value of cultivated mush-
rooms (agaricus edulis) Of which thecom-
position is shown below, is based princi-
pally on the large amount of albuminous
matters they contain.
Why then should the cultivation ofthis
edible fungus be neglected when it is
known that albumen is the chief of the
plastic respiratory ailments, which build
up the tissues and furnish fuel for the ma
chinery OF the body? Might not the cul-
tivation of the mushroom on a large
scale be made source of wealth to the
producer as well as new contribution to
health-diet for the consumer?
Without doubt, besides serving his own
pecuniary ends, the producer would be
rendering great service to humanity,
for it has been proved by the latest evi-
dence that it is the privation of albumin
Gus ailments that maintains the death
rate at it's present high figure.
The following analysis, of which one
was made by Prot Petermann of the ag
ricultural station of Gembloux, and the
other by myself, will elucidate moreclear-
ly the subject OF which treat.
Two samples were made use of in this
examination. the first was of fresh mush-
rooms and the second of mushrooms
sliced and air-dried. The following are
the results:
Chemical composition of cultivated
mushrooms (Agarius edulisl.

A glance at the preceding table shows

tained in fresh beef and four times that
contained in wheat -four.
will here repeat the words of the dis
tinguished European ''savants," M. San
thier, professor of the faculty of medicine
at Paris, and of Prof Molesschott, of the
University of Rome; the former affirms
that the mushroom has composition
analogous to that of muscular flesh,
whilst the latter maintains that it could
very advantageously replace the potato,
which, he says, constitutes very INSULT
cient nourishment, and any man who
should confne himself exclusively to it,
would, at the end of fortnight, beincap-
able of attending to his work.
1t would therefore be in the interest of
the general welfare to favor the produc-
ton of an aliment which could be OBJ
tained by large scale lecultivatiOn, as cheap
as the potato, without being subject to
the diseases and atmospheric uncertain
ties which influence the production Of
other crops.
There is further advantage that the
mushroom can be preserved in very small
volume by simple desiccation.

In estimating the benefits oftheclimate
of Florida and the inducements which the
State offers to immigrants, great consid-
GRAFTON should be given to the fact that
here a man can turn his labor to account
every month in the year. The Florida
farmer is never driven to period OF en-
forced idleness, asin the harsher climates,
where for long terms his fields are frozen
and unproductive. Each month has it's
labor and it's crop.-Orange Grove.

The Situation.

Passing through the orange producing
region of this State, certain conditions
force themselves upon even the casual OBJ
server-condtions that have an impor-
tant bearing upon the marketing of this
seasons crop, as well as upon the future
of this great industry.
He is at once convinced that this sea-
sons business will be lucrative for those
who have fruit upon their trees which
they have not parted with too cheaply.
Everywhere the commission agents have
failed to secure anything and are discour-
aged. "Call me home or send money to
buy has gone over the wires to commits
sion houses in northern cities from hun
dred different point in the State. Even
the commission merchants themselves,
many of whom are here in person (buy-
ing), conceed that at least half the crop
has been sold already.
Another encouraging sign is that the
growers are really sticking together, the
change already wrought by the Union
has opened their eyes; they have found
that they hold their financial salvation
in their own hands, and they are not dis
posed to let it slip through their fingers.
As result, all their fruitnotsOldi is going
through their agency (the Fruit Ex-
change), which, from present indications,
will handle nearly all not sold at home.
The fruit through this channel will be
sold exclusively at aution as much as
possible at Jacksonville and the remain
der in the chief markets of the country.
These favorable conditions at the out
start of this new movement are encOur-
aging, and leads us to believe that the re-
suit will be such a cementing together of
this industry, or rather of those engaged
in it, as to render it equal to meeting the
adverse conditions of d less favorable sea-
son-rendering permanent the "Home
Market" plan which originated with, and
has been contended for against great
odds these four years, by the Fruit EX-
change aud which has been rendered pos
sible now for the first time by the sup
port of growers through their Union.
The observer sees another thing-at
once encouraging and discouraging-he
sees that very large portion ofthe beag-
ing trees are, have been, and (it is to be
feared) will continue to be unprOductive
for lack Unnecessary attention and food 1t
is lamentable that SO many have failed
to turn their efforts and outlay into a
profitable investment; but the eminent
success of others under like conditions
clearly shows, it follows from the same
causes that lead to so large a proper
ton of failures in every line of life, and
that there is nothing to blame but them
selves.
On the other hand it is a very convin-
cling argument that the year OF fifty
million-box crop, or even of ten-million-
box crop, is still in the dim distance, and
that the over production so persistantly
prophesied is remote, a very remote
contingency ncy.-Dispatch.
