growing mushrooms throughout the
year without the use of artificial
heat 1t is built with the idea
of rendering it independent Of
outside atmospheric conditions. An
excavation is first made like
small cellar, and the dirt taken from
this excavation is subsequently used
for banking up. The walls are built
hollow, thus giving dead air space,
and the house is banked up to the ewes
of the roof. The roof may be thatched
with reeds, slabs or anything that will
keep out air and rain. A hollow space
may be left in the roof to be filed with
sawdust. The floor may be of burnt
clay, or any material that will give a
dry, hard surface. Drains may be
necessary to keep the place free Of
water
The illustration below shows three
mushroom beds in an open garden in
Paris. This represents winter culture
in that city, where the temperature is
not generally so low that the beds can
not be protected, In the cut the beds
are covered with old mats, carpets,
etc, and held in place with stones,
bricks and boards. The beds are cov-
cred at nights and cold dsys. Usually
the method followed is this: The horse
manure is collected for several weeks
before il ia to be used. ALI chips,
stones and rubbish are taken out, and
the manure is then placed in heaps two
feet thick and pressed down with
a fork. The bed is stamped down,
wl,sred and stamped again. 1t is
t. n left for about ten days, till fer
ntation has begun to set in, when
IT,, bed is all forked over, care being
tuAen to put the manure that was on
the sides in the center. The bed is
treated as in the first making. Ten
days more elapse, and the manure is
then in condition to be used in the
bed. The permanent beds are then
made, about two feet high and wide
and as long as desired. The beds are
packed solid and soon begin to heat

II it pays to excavate and build eel

as in the fall months, care should be
taken to make the cellar impervious

experiment with the cellar just as
it Is, TO save expense. IT the

survive any sudden fall frosts. In the

i've These beds will not do in winter
after water will freeze in the sheds,
unless they are carefully covered each
night 1T is best to use them only for
summer and fall production.
The methods we have mcnti oned
above MAJ be easily adopted by nearly
all readers Of the FAHMERs REVIEW,
The growing Of mushrooms in green
houses applies to comparatively few
those that have green houses, or that
desire to conduct regular mushroom
houses. Hot houses are generally too
warm for the mushrooms to do well in
them. Green houses are better, as the
temperature is more suitable for the
growth. Nearly all green houses arc
suitable, and the beds can be placed
in parts that are not used for other
things, az under benches As most
plants can not grow in tho dark, dark
places can be tho better utilized for
this purpose. la col weather the
beds may be covered with straw or
old carpets to keep the temperature
from getting too low. Above we show
an Illustration Of house made
especially for growing mushrooms. It
is sort Of green house, but no glass
enters into its construction, being un-
necessary and also detriment. The

pound for pound, as beef. This is
doubtless fact, as mushrooms take in
oxygen and throw off carbonic
acid gas, as do animals, while nearly
all vegetables do the opposite; that is,
throw off oxygen and take in carbonic
acid gas,
TO those living within easy reach Of
cities, the culture OF mushrooms pre-
sents a means of revenue. The de.
mand for mushrooms is large and
prices are high. France supplies most
OF the mushrooms used in American
hotels and restaurants, and even then
canned goods have to be used. With
an increase in the supply of fresh
mushrooms would come an increase in
The demand. 1t seems strange that
American gardeners have so long neg
lectcd growing this, delicious vege-
table.
In France caves and cellars are used
sAJtuSlNtlV lOF Ih6 growing VI uuSh-
rooms Most Of our farmers have
cellars, either in houses or barns, that
are suited for this vegetable. A few
requisites are necessary: the cellar
should be warm, dry and dark. Drafts
by means Of doors and windows are to
be avoided, where the draft would
come Immediately over the mush-
room beds
Temperature and moisture should
be uniform, from day to day, as near
ly as possible. Sudden fluctuations
OF temperature or of moisture are not
desirable These are. however, but
the requisites of good cellar, and
therefore any one that has really
good cellar can grow mushrooms. In
some parts of the east where the mar
ket gardeners are beginning to grow
mushrooms on large scale, cellars
are being built for this purpose alone.

Sulturc OF Nushrooms,

Some time ago a correspondent Of
the FARMtRS' REVIEW requested more
information on the growing Of mush,
rooms, which we promised to give when
opportunity presented. We will de-
vote this article to the culture Of
mushrooms in buildings, because such
culture is the only kind that is advis-
able during the remainder of the wear.
We hope that some of our readers will
take interest in the subject sufficiently
eto begin cultivating them on a small
#. :alC The outlay is small and the
ID 'ork rot hard. BESIDES, mushrooms
are not particular as to conditions, and
may be grown in cellars barns and
other outhouses, especially old green
houses. We believe that many family
might grow mushrooms with little
trouble, and find in them q valuable
food product, even If the family of the
grower consumed the entire crop.
Mushrooms are very nutritious This
is contrary to the idea Of those that
know nothing OF them Most people
suppose because of their rapid growth,
that they are un,ubstantial in tex
ture and can possess little of food
value. On the contrary, it is doubtful

ment The statement is made that

treatment are not SO hot that the
spawn will be killed. The spawn is
nlaced In the manure near the base OF
the beds, and the whole is then COW
cred with several inches OF straw or
other litter. In about ten days more
the white tilaments are seen spreading
in the beds, and at this time II layer OF
about one inch of rich earth is placed
over the bed These beds have some
times to be watered, especially II the
season is very dry.

however, consist of manure. When
the tub is hall full of this soil and
manure, put in the spawn, and fiji

desired.
During the fall months, at least,
mushrooms may be grown in the sheds

hausted during the summer and fall
months even the open sheds might be
used, especially when they are in pro
