There is a common belief that our
mushroom springs into existence IN a
single night. 1t doesn't. 1t takes some
weeks underground growth before It
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 aftifcially pro-
duced mushroom does not spread in this
way.
But the process of breaking through
the ground is wonderfully swift. In
the heart OF Evangeiinc'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
Ha: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 a fungus upon it are so 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
with lanterns before the dawn. And q

Yet our own country IS aboundlng
with underground places where there is
heither wind, sun nor rain to hamper ar
tiicial 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
q dozen large mushroom dealers In New
York, Boston and 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 q 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. It abounds everywhere in open,
wind swept pastures, but as rule it
thrives only in ground run over by horses,
cattle and sheep, the fertilizers from
these animals being the best. known
medium for the development of the mush-
room spawn, or seed. Many plants al.
most like the Agaricus grow under the
shade of trees and other umbrageous
places, but many of these are very IN
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 leave a
we'll defined space all around between
their points and the stalk of the plant.
All the worthless and poisonous funSi
that resem' the Agaricus have the eiE'
growing fast to the stem. Moreover, the
bulk of wholesome mushrooms are !
beautiful, fresh salmon pink in the gills,
this color changing to dusk nadder
brown. One other point, the skin is
tough and definite and peels easily,
which, as far as know, is not the case
with the harmful sorts. But no one
keeping these facts in mind will ever
gather poisonous plant by mistake.

The COWBOYS Day is Gone.

met cowboy yesterday who was re-
'Arning from the Western plains to his
lcme in Ohio. He was sad and his
zee bore q doleful 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
and scalawag dogs, and instead of COW
boys, as in the past, the inhabitants are
settlers who have during the past twenty
years 'squatted in nearly every State an|
Territory west of the Missouri fiver. So
long as they kept out of the grazing
country we didn't mind them, but since
there has been such demand for more
land for settlers those fellows lave
crowded their society upon US until we
had either to fight, get out or accept
them as neighbors.
81 guess the general run of my kind of
fellows would much prefer the first
proposition, but it doesn't pay. AS for
the last, it doesn't go at all. know we
are rough 1elloWS, anu nayDe we uou I
seem any better in the eyes of the world
than boomers but that sort of calcula-
tion is agin' us. guess no fellow ever
made success eff Cow punching who
was lazy, and I know I never met any
fellow on the range who'd live in q
schooner and starve his family sooner
than work. A good many of us could
get little herds and keep at the busines:
if it wasn't for the boomers, but as
they're coming we're going. I don't
think you'll find many of the old COW.
boys on the range after this year, and
next year you won't know by visiting
what was once cattle range country that
there was SUCH set as genuine cowboys. /"

wferd sight it is to see half score OF

wisps over the lonesome uplands.
Tne mushrooms are all taken to the
railroad station, where they are sold for
thirty to forty cents q bushel to a mid
dleman, who hustles them off to hun
dred markets. They are shipped to New
York from every point for hundreds OF
miles around, and in season become a
freight just as regular as milk is. But
they perish very soon, willing in the sun
or heat as rapidly as flower. AS a rule
it is only the perfect ones that are
bought for market, the shabby, broken
or bug eaten ones being retained by the
gatherers to stew and put in ketchut
for domestic use.
Hundreds of thousands of bushels ar
rive in the large markets every day, New
York receiving by far the larger share

tion, and the restaurant men pay for
them only from fifty cents to seventy,
five cents bushel. They are light, d.
course, and do not weigh much in
bulk.
While the plant can be obtained in
this way there is not o canned mush-
room eaten, and people wonder how it
is that these big, sprawing mushrooms
are SO much sweeter, softer and better
favored than the small, tough, greenish.
yellow ones. But mushrooms in season
brought from the fields sometimes be-
come drug in the market, though the
best connoisseur of this luxury, large
cafe proprietor, told me:
"For the past six years the natural
crop has been more or less failure.
Too much wet weather for some weeks
and too much dry weather for others I
take to be the cause. AS consequence
all food purveyors have been obliged to
open French tins in August and Septem-
ber-s something quite unheard of some
years ago."
Those who priced the luxury of mpsh-
rooms forty or fifty years back grumbled
that they could not get them at any
season of the year, and this stimulated
importation from the caves and cellars
lying outside of Paris, and also set our
own people thinking about raising the
plant artifcially.

Ihave said, do not spread Or assume the.

best. Stable manure is obtained from
the tortuous passageways of these caves,
and the spawn is introduced into it, the
whole being compacted and then made.

bricks. These bricks are capable of be. Z

In the French caves, however, the
spawn is put into foam like fakes or

The different galleries bear crops in

These squid colorcd things that people
eat every day in the restaurants are not
