alton. J. H. Shelton was chosen President,
and j. A. Lowrie, Secretary. A committee

meeting will be held to complete the organ

1t is the intention to form an organiza-

tails of the business. One of the features
will be livery exchange. When one Iiv-
eryman gets an order for dozen or Is carri-
ages, he now has to hustle around and get the
carriages wherever he can. When the ex-
change is started he will apply to the mana
ger OF the exchange, will order the carriages
from the stables nearest the place they are
wanted. There is no intention to advance
the rates OF hire, but a uniform card will be
put into effect.

There is a common belief that our
mushroom springs into existence in q
single night. 1t doesn't. 1t takes some
weeks underground growth before 1t
bursts through the sod. The broaden
ing out of the umbrella cap, or efflores-
cence, is due to air, difference of tenn
perature and light. The artiicially pro-
duced mushroom does not spread in this
way.
But the process of breaking through
the ground is wonderfully swift. In
the heart OF Evangeline's Land this sum-
mer and along the higher ground of the
Delaware I have watched by lantern
light the fungus actually making its
way up through the sod. Its coming is
manifested by the swapping or move
eA,nt OF blades CT grass or weeds lying
in its way. This is why people who at
sunset mark piece of ground that has
not q fungus upon it are 80 surprised to
find it white with mushrooms at sunrise.
During August and September mush-
room gathering is very important in
dustry through the United States and
Canada. A farmer owning fertile pas
lures has the crop removed every morn
ing by nine to ten o'clock, carrying
home the gleanings in bushel basket.
But when the pastures are free there is
great rivalry among the fungus gather
ers, and it has come to be custom in
many regions for the pickers 10 sally out

The COWBOYS Day is Gone.

1 met cowboy yesterday who was re-
Arning from the Western plains to his

ICE bore a dolcful expression as he
narrated the memories of happy ranch
life never to be again. "The plains, !"
said he, "are nothing like they used to
be. Instead of herds of buffalo and cat
tie they now have boomers scrub stock

five degrees Fahrenheit is considered thd

the tortuous passageways of these cayes
and Che spawn is introduced into il, the

In England the spawn is mixed With

then made into blocks which are called
bricks. These bricks are capable Of be-
ing moved about and even shipped across
the ocean, and when portions Of it are
hele and there introduced into the MUSK

In the French caves, however, the.

Yet our own country is aboundins
with underground places where there is
heither wind, sun. nor rain to hamper ar
ti6cial production, and no country in the
world has such facilities for mushroom
cellars as we have everywhere in this
broad land.
This is the statement, in substance, of
a dozen large mushroom dealers4in New
York, Boston aud Chicago. : -
A large number of persons who order
stewed mushrooms, mushroom sauce and
other dishes made of the fungus believe
they are eating what has grown in open
pastures. Let me tell them about this.
There is natural mushroom crop
every year, just as there is an annual crop
of flowers and grasses. The mushroom
season commences about the first week in
August and continues till the last week
in September, and in certain seasons we'll
on into October. The whole face of the
continent is then covered with plants of
the mushroom family, most of them
wooden, insipid and sickening, many OF
them deadly poisonous. .
All the plants of this interesting fam
lily, pretty nearly, which are unfit to eat
are called toadstools, from the old super
stition that in silent places, when the
moon shone bright, the fairies came in
the form of toads and sat round about on
these fungi till the dawn. 1t is very diff
fcult for an inexperienced eye to detect
the difference between some toadstools
and the wholesome plant. But the diff
ference is as marked in structure and
other respects as it is in taste.
The true mushroom, that which reaches
our market before the dew is yet dry
upon it, is known as the Agaricus cam
petris. 1t abounds everywhere in open,
wind swept pastures, but as a rule it
thrives only in ground run over by horses,
cattle and sheep, the fertilizers from
these animals being the bert known
medium for the development OF the mush-
room spawn, Or seed. Many plants al
most like the Agaricus grow under the
5ilsie Oh trees nnd other umbrageous
places, but many of these are very un-
wholesome and even Deadly
For the genuine plant select one whose
gills or under radii do not join the Stem
that is, do not grow to it-but leavetQ
we'll defined space all around between
their points and the stalk of the plant.
All the worthless and poisonous funEi
that resen,' the Agaricus have the oiE'
growing fast to the stem. Moreover, the
bulk of wholesome mushrooms are a
beautiful, fresh salmon pink in the gills,
this color changing to a dusk madder
brown. One other point, the skin is
tough and definite and peels easily,
which, as far as I know, is not the case
with the harmful sorts. But no one
keeping these facts in mind will ever
gather a poisonous plant by mistake.

The fungi produced in these place, aa
I have said, do not spread OF assume the
umbrella shape, but are gathered while
in button form. In the natural fields the
mushroom springs very rapidly into the
extended form. e y 8 !,
The hole remaining when the plant IS
removed is filed with fine earth. The,
beds bear from six to eight months, them

sold for manure to the market gardeners.,
There are no draughts in the caSes,- ana,
the temperature can be thus easily nsinJ

value of virgin or fresh spawn, for ex:ss
perience has shown them that spawn
taken constantly from bearing beds loses
its potency for reproduction. The beds.
