How to Grow Mushrooms.

The numerous applicants to the De.
partment of Agriculture for publics-
tions treating on mushroom culture
can shortly be supplied, as there is now
In press Farmers Bulletin No. So, a
treatise on "HOw to Grow Mushrooms"
by William Falconer, superintendent
of Schenley Park, Pittsburg, Pa, and
a successful grower and an eminent
authority on mushrooms.
This bulletin, containing twenty
pages and fourteen Illustrations, treats
Of mushrooms for commercial pur-
poses in q practical way from the
standpoint of the grower.
There is a widespread impression
that there is some secret in the cult.
walton of mushrooms, that the whole
procedure is shrouded in mystery, and
that the mushrooms have even to be
grown in midnight darkness. This is
an entire mistake.
Mushrooms are easy to grow and be-
ginn ers are often as successful as those
having experience. The same condi-
tiOns necessary ,for success in other
branches Of agricultural activity, viz:
good materials, interest in the bust
ness, intelligent management, and per-
sistent application, promise success in
mushroom growing,
Mushrooms are a winter crop, and
apart from the preparation of the ma
nure and making the beds, they are
clean crop to handle. Much of the
work can be done as well by women as
by men.

Flooded Districts Of the Mississippi Valley
The Agricultural Department esti
mates are ss follows:
The total area under water on Apri
6 was about 1880 square miles, Of
which 1900 square miles was in Mis-
sissippi, $500 square miles in Arksn
sas, 1850 square miles in Missouri
1900 in Tennessee, and 450 in Louis
lana, This region contained In 1890
so far as can be determined in view OF
the somewhat indefinite boundary
lines of the flood, population of S79,
6S5, of which 186,489, or about one
half, was in Mississippi, 1OO,235 in
Arkansas, and the remainder almost
equally divided between Missouri and
Tennessee.
Taking the entire region the colored
population outnumbered the whites in
the proportion of IL to Z, the colored
predominsting In the flooded districts
Of Mississippi In the ratio of more than
8 to l, and in Arkansas In that of 2 to
l. In Missouri and Tennessee the
population of the flooded districts ia
largely white; In the former State in
the proportion Of 10 to /, and In the
latter in that Of 2 to 1.
The flooded districts contain, il is
estimated, about 80, 500 farms, of which
about 1S, 500 are In Mississippi, nearly
10000 in Arkansas, and a like number
about equally divided between Mis-
souri, and Tennessee. These farms
contain total area of about $4,000
acres, one.hslf Of which is In Missls.
sippi, and rather over one-fourth in
Arkansas, the proportions in Missouri
and Tennessee being about the same
as In the case of the number of farms.
The total value Of these farms, with
their improvements, farm implements,
ETC., is close upon s65, 100000, and here
also the proportions in the different
States are about the same as above
noted.
The largest interests at stake are
those Of the State of Mississippi, whose
flooded districts represent an In
vested capital In agriculture alone Of
close upon $42,0OO,O0O, Over $4,000
farms, containing 100000 acres of
land of an average value OF about sl8
an acre, are under water In the cOun-
try lying between the Mississippi and
Yazoo Rivers, including some of the
most productive lands In the State.
Their live stock, even at the present
low prices, Is worth nearly $500, 900,
and the farmers and planters are estl-
mated to have about 100000 worth
of the crops Of last year still on hand.
Arkansas stands next in the extent
of Its imperiled interests, nearly 10000

Principles of Pruning.

Heigea, OF the United States Department Q
Agricultural
So many inquiries as to times ant
methods Of pruning have been re
ceived that a statement Of the genera
principles seems imperative
Granting that properly grown tres
have been obtained from the nursery
it is possible to properly train tret
by using the fingers and pruning knife
only. Persons, however, often obtain
possession of orchards the trees oi
which have been neglected for years
or have planted trees that have NOT
been properly trained from the time OF
planting.
Under either condition the use Of
the saw will be necessary. An AK or
hatchet should never be used, as the
wound will not be as smooth as can be
made with sharp, ine'tOothed saw.
It Is essential that the head of the
tree should be open for the free sdmis-
sion Of afr and sunlight In order that
the fruit may be perfectly cOlored and
Of fine flavor. The actiniC ray Of sun
light is essential for this purpose and
for maintaining the health Of the foil.
age, without which perfect fruit can.
not be produced. Hence all limbs that
cross each other which by their motion
produced by the wind would abrsde
the bark, prevent free circulation of
sap, and engender disease, must be
removed.
If the trainer of the tree had a just
conception of the form that the tree
should assume at maturity, the re-
mOval Of these limbs could have been
Obviated by removing the buds, which
are the inclpient limbs, by finger
pruning or by pruning knife A bud
removed ia May will render unneCeg-
sary the removal of limb In Decem-
Der.
AS there is correlation between the
roots and branches, Ii is essential that
the foliage be abundant and healthful,
In order that the roots may be deVsl-
oped and furnish nourlshment from
the soil for the heslthful development
of foliage, wood and fruit.
1t is equally necessary that the foil.
age be healthful and abundant, for the
double purpose Of obtaining food from
the atmosphere and eliminating the
non. essential and injurious elements
fuFniS he'd by the roots in the form Of !
sap.
1t is well-known physiological fsCt |
that weed or any other plant may be
eventually killed by constantly re-
moving the leaves as they appear.
Leaves in vegetable economy perform
a function very similar to lungs in
the animal economy, Hence summer

tree. This process will often induce
q tree that would otherwise be pos.
sessed Of a vigorous growth to produce
fruit the following year.
Winter pruning, on the contrary,
will produce an increased growth of
wood the following season and may
arrest Che formation of fruit buds. |
Hence It Is an axiom now becoming
recognized that summer pruning

Trees often show a tendency to de.
Velop strong central shoots at the ex

be controlled by pruning the strong
shoots in summer and the weak ones

Wounds made by pruning will heal

mer growth. Wounds made in the
winter are exposed to the high winds
Of that season and Of the spring also,
and sap secreted for the purpose of
healing the wound Is lost in the at
mOsphere. This should be corrected
by painting every wound of more than
One-hslf inch In diameter, no matter
when made.
After a thorough trial Of grating
wax, sbellsC, clay, etc., found moth
ing equal to red lead and boiled lin
seed oil. This will last longer, and ia
more resistant to water than any other
mixture In general use.
Those who object to the briRht-red
color Of this mixture can by mixing
with 1t small quantity of lsmpblsck
closely initiate the natural color of the
bark.
Thousands Of trees have come under
my observation showing decay of
trunks and branches through the neg
lect Of covering the wounds with some
substance impeTViOus to water.
When it becomes necessary to re-
move a large limb that has become
broken by high winds or the neglect to
remove an excessive crop Of fruit, the
proper plan is to saw the limb at least
two feet beyond the final point of re-
moval, thus removing the great weight
which is likely to cause the tearing of
the bark upon the lower side of the
limb, often extending into and down
the trunk, A second cut can now be
made at the proper place without any
danger. When we consider the many
years required for certain fruit trees
to reach maturity, this precsution In
pruning is a wise expenditure of time
and labor.
TO recapitulate:
(1) Train the tree so that only dead |
and injured limbs need be removed In |
future years.
(2) Use the fingers and pruning knife
in shaping the tree and Thus save the
use Of the saw.

significant. The Japanese imbrog-
lios, about which so much fuss was
made few weeks ago, has been
found to be very much of a mares
nest, and the Editor goes back to
japan, with the conviction that he
might have put in his time to bet
ter advantage, though he appre-
ciates his pleasant stay.
The fact is, the Japanese question
has reached very quiescent state.
The government of Hawaii took up
a strong position, after carefully
thinking the matter out. Once
that position was taken, there could
be no receding from it, and the de-
mands of Japan were naturally and
properly met by distinct statement
of Hawaii's side of the case. The
diplomatic correspondence upon the
matter, has been most voluminous
and will take some time to con-
clude. Where replies have to be
received, explained and then for
warded to the main government
over thousands of miles of sea for
perusal and further instructions,
have to be awaited, the course of
controversy is somewhat lingering.
Of this, however, we may all feel
assured, that the controversy will
be amicably settled without any I'm
necessary friction. AS the facts of
the case have become known, the
position taken by the Hawaiian
Government has been fully under
stood and appreciated, and it will
be found that even the opposition
Press in Japan will no longer be
found bounding on the Japanese
government to aggressive acts.
One feels sorry for the Honolulu
croakers, who, Cassandra like, have
been predicting dire ills and Incl
dentally cursing the Hawaiian gov
eminent for a set of idiots and in
capables. The dire ills won't come
and it will be found that the mem
bers Of the government have acted
with dignity and farsightedness,
and that the position of the Repub-
lie of Hawaii stands higher than it
has done before.

1t is the duty of every man who

needful precaution.
The questions that are coming
before the Legislature will be very
important. Amongst the chief OF
them will be the tax question again.
This will be argued with much
more skill and with a greater know
ledge of its local application than
was possible in 1896. Upon what
lines such question is to be argued,
will, in great measure, be decid-
ed at the polls. Upon what men
are returned as representatives will
depend on how the question is
handled, and every man has a dis
tinct interest in the matter.
