Mushroom cuLrrRr.

As to the best locality to grow mush-
rooms we think that it has very little
to do with their successful culture, ex-
cept that IT might be of advantage to
be near some good market where TIE
mushrooms could be disposed OF. To
cultivate them successfully it is need
iul to have some place in which to
grow them which is perfectly dry.
They can be raised on shelves placed
one above the other, this plan being
largely used, rs it saves space and
keeps the mushrooms closer together,
making 1t much easier to look out for
them. NliN fresh horse manure with
loan from the pHsture-a3out the
same weight of both being the qunn-
tity required. If at first you dc not
have enough to fill your shelves, be
sure to turn what you have over every
day, rs this will stop its heating too
much. When you have sufficient
manure and loan to make your bed,
place n thin layer on the bottom of a
shelf and pound it down quite hard
with brick or something that will
answer the same purpose. Keep add
ing and pounding down until the bed
has reached the depth of eight inches,
and then in this place thermometer.
In day or two the bed will heat to
about 100 degrees or over, and will
then decline. As soon as the Their
mometer reaches ninety or ninety-fve
degrees take pointed stick and punch
holes, about twelve inches each way,
half the depth of the bed, and in each
hole place piece of spawn about the
size of hens egg. After this has
been accomplished nothing need be
done but to keep the bed at the proper
temperature by regulating the tenn
perature of the house or room in
which they are grown. Large seed
dealers generally keep the spawn on
sale. New York Witness.

THE wEANGya PERIOD FOR LAMBS.

Some imagine that the weaving pro.
cess Is n very simple one. Well, IN n
sense it is, but in another sense it is
not. Weaving lambs does not simply
mean taking them away from the dams.
1t means that the ewes shall be prop.
erly dried without injury to the nd
der, and that they shall then be put in
fair way of improvement, whether
they are to be sCld off or kept for
further breeding. And it means that
tho lambs shall be so managed that
the weaving period will not prove to
them period OF stagnation
The season of the year at which they
are to be weaned will depend entirely
upon the time at which they come to
hand, and the use that is to be made
of them and the dams. When lambs
come in the autumn they will be ready
for weaving before the ewes go out to
pasture early in the spring. When
they are born early in the spring they
will be ready for weaving in midsum-
mer, and when they are born late in
the spring they will not be ready to
be weaned until the early autumn.
Something, too, depends upon the way
In which they have been nursed. When
they have been well supplied with
milk they will stand to be weaned at
an earlier season than when the milk
has been short in supply. AS a rule
the sucking period should extend
over from four to five months. Usu-
ally four and half months is long
enough to suckle lambs.
When the weaving season arrives
the lambs should not only be separa.
ted from the ewes. but they should be
taken quite away from them. 1t would
not be wise, where it could be avoided,
to put the lambs on one side of fence
and the ewes OF the other, even
though they should not he able to
break through to one another. The
lambs would be more restless than j {
out of the sound of the voice of the
dams, and the latter will dry up more
quickly when they cannot hear the
bleating of the lambs. 1t is an excel
lent plan where there is an opportu
nifty for it to shut up the dams in tbs
sheds for n few days at the weaving
season, and to feed them dry food to
hasten the lessening of the milk flow.
