is an easy matter to raise them her
self and that for a very little money
outlay. II she has spare corner in n
healthful cellar or shed. let her place
there some pals containing a manure
mixed with sprinkle of cooking salt
and little loan. She should procure
from a reliable source some bricks of
spawn. and after breaking these into
cubic inches press the pieces well into
the mold. being careful to water them
every day or two. The result will be
that, in less than two months, she
will have fair growth of mushrooms
for an original cost of perhaps ten
cents.

Very few of the tidiest housekeep-

the oven washed out. Especially after

the walls and floor of the oven should
be scrubbed carefully with a stiff

small quantity of washing soda has
been added. Pies, cakes and biscuits
sometimes have an unaccountable
