EDIBLE MUSHROOMS.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

MANY people who would enjoy mush-
rooms added to their menu are de-
barred because Of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning them except at considerable
expense, and because of unfamtliartty
as to methods Of home culture.
Mushrooms are easy to grow, and
beginners are often as successful with
them as are those having an extensive
experience. Aside from preparing the
manure and making up the beds, 1t Is
clean crop to handle and occupies lit
tie space. The gathering, sorting, pack
ing and marketing of the mushrooms
can be easily taken care of by the wom-
en- Of the household.
Cellars or basement rooms where the
temperature in the winter does not go
below IS degrees or does not rise above
65 degrees are suitable places for grow
ing mushrooms. It Is hardly advisable
to grow them under the living part Of
the house, since the Odor of the manure
will permeate the dwelling. Stables
that are not too cold in winter are
suitable.
Preparation of the Beds.
The mushroom bed is best prepared
from horse manure that comes from
well-bedded stables. Some straw is de-
sirable, but large percentage is OBJ
jectionable and should be removed.
The manure is cured by putting it un-
der cover in piles three to four feet deep
and Of any length and width. It usu-
ally requires from ten to fifteen days to
cure, but should not be put in the beds
or boxes until the temperature has

Method Of Slaughtering Which In
sures Wholesome Meat.
A Kansas City man has discovered
novel mothod of preparing pork for
the market in a way that will give to
the people q meat which is perfectly
wholesome. The theory is advanced
that when a pig is sent to slaughter,
every squeal emitted in the process Of
slaughter is an audible announcement
of a nervous reaction that effects every
fiber of it's body, producing such
changes as will be detrimental to any
one partaking of the flesh. The plan
proposed is to drive the porker up an
incline into a small pen. Just as he
steps in the pen the platform tits and
runs him down q chute. At the end
of this chute there is bucket Of slop
or mash. or any other pig delicacy,
The animal pokes his snout into the
bucket when his whole head is caught
in trap and nitrous oxide renders
him unconscious before he has time
to let out even a little squeal. While
the pig is in this state it is slaughtered.
There is no excitement, no squeal and
consequently no thermic changes.

The first question man will ask IT,
"H0w can I tell toadstool from a

this question by saying that you can

Department Of Agriculture has issued
q number OF bulletins on mushroom
growing which give certain rules for
determining the difference between the
edible common field mushrooms and
those that are deadly poisonous. This

sion of Publications.
The mushroom in commerce is prac-
tically the fruit of the mushroom
plant, and not the plant itself. The
plant proper is white or blush white
mold-the spawn-that grows in fields
and manure piles. Comparing the
mushroom to an apple tree, we have
the trunk, branches and leaves buried
in the ground, leaving only the apples
themselves standing above the ground.
The toadstool, like the apple, con-
tains the means of reproductfun-the
apple contains seeds, while the toad
stool is filed with microscopic, dust
like bodies having the same function as
seeds. W

Paris, Oct. 31.-The Castellane d.

before M. Henry Ditto, president of
the Tribunal of First Instance Of the
Seine. Neither the count nor the

for the countess, pleaded for di-
vorce on the documentary evidence

clared that the countess at the be-
ginning Of the suit was not acting un-

pose of ending forever the peril of
the moral desolation of her house

tract, by which the regime of separa-
ton of property was emphasized from
the very beginning, and stated that
domestic difficulties are over the
question of money. Ill-treatment soon
followed. the count even striking the
plaintiff before the servants.
When he reached the question Of
the infidelity charged against the
count, Maitre Crippi did not mention
names or even initials, designating

Maitre Cruppi asked that the coun-
tess be given the custody of her three

Counsel's presentation of the case OF
the plaintiff continues complete

spite Of this domestic infelicity the
countess was too good and scrupu-

was only twenty when she was mar
ried in 1895, and Maitre Cruppi as
