in the cellar, for winter. Procure a

garden soil with the manure, and let
it stand a week or more, turning each
day to keep 1t from heating. Make al

Ssenhouse and plant as directed. One
may then have mushrooms that
are sure to be edible. There are so
many nice ways of preparing them.
For almost every dish just saute them

longer, as too long cooking toughens
them. They may then be added to a
brown sauce or gravy as an accom-
